It is a land rich in. scenery, ever changing in its wild and wondrous beauty, scene of many a stirring tale of the old west, distinctly yet a cattle country where thousands have roamed. It is the land to which Theo: dore Roosevelt came in 1883 to regain | his health by living an active, out- door life. Since the death of ruggedness of the west, the Roose- velt Memorial Association has done much to make the people of the na- tion acquainted with this narrow strip of broken country called “Bad Lands.” Today betwegn 300 and 400 editors of the. country, from every state east. of the Mississippi \river“and froni ‘many west of it, are stopping at Medora, in the heart of ‘ “The Roosevelt Country” to erect a tablet to his memory. The story of Roose-: velt and the beauties of the Badi Lands doubtless will be spread into every part of the nation. eal The editors will not, unfortunately, the! great American who epitomized the’ ling into each room to see that baby cialist politicians —_seck.

Phey would kill trades unionism if they could. It stands in their way. They have hurt it not a little, but the more they show their hands, the less will be their power to injure it in the future. —Milwaukee Journal. | You cannot explain these peculiar ‘things in nature, any more than you |explain why a male peacock always has four wives, never more, never less.

North Dakota. North Dakota has 40,000,000 acres of tillable land. North Dakota produces more spring wheat than any other state; more rye than any other two states and half the entire flax production ‘of the entire United States. The total amount of sunshine year- ly in North Dakota is far in excess’ of most states—not merely .interest-) ing but important during the grow- ing season, Dairy has increased 100 percent in| ten years, North Dakota has the second low-| est per cent in the United States ofj illiterates among its native born white ‘population.

Magazines that “play up” sex find their circulation slip- ping away. Not with lightning speed, of course, but fast enough to show a decided national tendency. As the pendulum swings back, the public is thinking cleaner thoughts. Interest in the spiritual is increas- ing. The Topeka (Kan,) State Journal has been printing a weekly serial from the Bible for three months. “It has proved to be the greatest success of any feature we ever printed,” says the , Journal’s managing editor, Arthur J. Carruth. This has national significance.

On the third day therefrom the ¢ wall of the Cumberland gathered its flanks into steep gray cliffs and dip- ped suddenly into camp, and next morning Dave swept’ a long arm toward the wild expanse to the west. “Four more days,” he exied, “and we'll be there!” Toward sunset Dave, through dixth sense, had the uneasy feeling that he was not only being followed but watched from the cliffs along- in both the boys. Even Dave wheeled with cocked rifle, and the lad stepped from behind a bush sezrcely ten feet behind them. “Well, by gum,” shonted Dave, lowed all the mud they dug out of the Panama Canal.” Just ‘then the fairyman doctor came hustling in. | He looked at Torty’s tongue and felt his pulse and took his tempera- ture and then filled some bottles with pills. . ‘ “Here you are, Torty,” said he kindly. “I know exactly what's wrong with you.
