hopeless condition about two years,
just barely living, a few necessities,
no comforts, no pleasures or enter
tainments, only a quiet, silent con
verse with nature, and a very barren
nature at that, alkali dust, barren soil,
poor water and in the winter bleak
pitiless winds and the marrow-chilling
cold; no money to get back east;
nothing to do but live, and that the
hardest thing to do.
They say it is always darkest just
before the dawn. I found them when
things were darkest, and I brought
about the dawn. I represented an east
ern syndicate who wanted to buy up
the land thereabouts and raise stock.
When I got there on a cold February
afternoon a drizzling rain was fast
turning day into darkness, and I found
no covei’ for my bed, a very hard, dirty
mattress in an unceiled, unheated
room at the shabby hotel, i wrapped
up-in my surplus clothes and felt sure
of freezing before morning, but did
not, and after weak coffee and greasy
bacon and heavy buttermilk biscuit, I
could tell the people my business;
they jumped at my offer; yes, they’d
sell; yes, they’d get to work; they'd
do anything that promised better
things. Teams and tools got there
from the east; a few more men; miles
of fencing; carloads of fertilizers
were hauled thirty miles from the
nearest station; a branch line was
built; the men were paid well for
their work; the hotel was celled and
heaters put in at the company’s Ex
pense; better cottages were built and
rented reasonably; things went very
well for six months; then the men who
had gotten well fed and clothed de
cided they had done enough, and they
began to shirk. The young men drank
whiskey, gambled, wasted money on
ammunition to shoot into space just
to make a racket; the young girls
spent money for finery and half of
every night dancing; things got worse
and worse; the company decided to
put out the saloon and the gambling
because these evils were ruining the
people, and they resented this at
tempt to deprive them of their liber
ties to the extent that they struck —
declined to work at all until the sa
loon was put back; the young men
loafed about in Stetson hats and pat
ent leather shoes, smoking cigarettes
and playing cards and making rag
time music on cheap instruments. The
company did all they could to teacn
and help them, but at the end of four
teen months from the day 1 got there
1 received orders to ship the stock to
another state, abandon the branch line,
ship the fencing and leave the loafing
brigade to their own resources. I did
so; a minister who tried to stay on
and help them to better ideas, wrote
me the hotel and ten cottages built
by the company burned ten days after
I left. I have been away three years.
Last week an application came from
the pastor there for boxes of clothes,
anything to keep the poor wretches
from starving. And this is an object
lesson in endeavors to improve this
class of people. There are some peo
ple who can’t bear prosperity; they are
rien on one hundred dollars and wear
clothes a millionaire would snub, and
loaf and consider themselves terribly
imposed on if they have to work. 1

A GIRL’S TEMPTATION.
By Emma F. A. Drake, M. D.
Many young girls in their love' for
' what they call a good time are led
down into the forbidden way, and be
fore they are hardly aware of It they
awake to find that there is only a step
to ruin. “It was only for fun, and I
did not think it was wrong,” many a
young girl says too late for her good.
The books you read are shaping
your life and thought, and for this rea
son you must be very wise in your
choice. Books that make you want
to be better, and that point you the
way, .are the only safe ones. Books
that deal with a questionable side of
life and that make you desire what
you should not have, and that give
you mistaken notions of life, must be
carefully avoided if you would not get
on dangerous ground.
Your love of dress may be a snare
to you. If you have not a wise mother
to warn and guide you, this may be
one great influence. which leads you
downward. Many of our girls in busi
ness places are assailed in this way,
by a gentleman friend (but an enemy
in the guise of friend) who makes fine
presents in return for liberties which
no self-respecting girl can grant, and
which lead to the greatest liberties
, when once a girl is under his power.
Among your own set there are those
whom you should shun, as you would
the most evil thing. You know the
reputation of these men; it is not
good, but they are attractive and cap
tivating to a class of girls who are in
nocent of their devices, and tney eas
ily engage the affections of the unsus
pecting. Very pleasant attentions are
shown you, and you are led step by
step away from your highest ideals,
until things that once seemed wrong
