A correspondent of the New York Tribune, who has been study ing Dakota statistics,' sa378 the territory contains 250,000 horses, 250,000 milch cows, 800,000 cattle, 230,000 sheep, 600,000 hogs. Th?y are worth $50,000,000, and to this grand fortune at 10 per cent, accretion must be adjfled every year. At this moment a harvest is growing there, with every prom ise of happy realization, of 35,000, 000 bushels of corn, 70,000,000 of wheat, 5,000,000 of flax, 10,000. 000 of barley, 50,000,000 of oats and 5,00.0,000 of potatoes. And in the imperial domain, stretching from a central point 200 miles norih, east, south and west of the 96,000,000 acres that constitute these states, barely- 7,000,000 less than one-thirteenth have felt the harrow's touch, lhe corres pondent allows that this sounds like a fairy tale, coming from a region that has been open for settlement but a few years.

The boys and girls who play to gether in front of their homes in town, or in the parks, can hardly realize how a little fellow, only four years old, would manage to get On all by himself, with a whole wide prairie to play over. Many such children there are, however, living in the lonely ranches of the west. . -' Last fall in the Indian Territory (called generally the- ''Nation,") a on gut little chap toucueu out from the ranch where he lived with his father, mother and baby sister, to amuse himself as best he could. His father had ridden out early with the cowboys to attend to some stock. His mother was in the house looking after her household duties, and keeping an eye on the baby. She was used to her little boy's playing about on the bluffs near the house, aud had no fear of anyone's doing him harm, for pave the .men on the ranch, who loved him and played with him when they had time, no human creature lived within many.tjiat country coyotes and miles. It was a fine bright day in the Indian summer, lhe boy took ms aog aiong a very iiuie, uveiy English terrier. He lid not feel!fire for himself. lonely or wish for companions, for in his short life he had had no playmates, and so did not mlss, them. , With his little dog, then, he made a tour of inspection afround the ranch. They visited tlvs barns aud the dog started a black snake. That kept them both excited for a little time. They had a little fun with an old black sow, who was privileged to go where she pleased. Then they went out by the hay stacks, and finally rambled out on the bluffs. There were a great many wild flowers to be plucked here, and after a few minutes to be thrown away again. That sort of fun did not please the dog, though, so he proceeded himself to look for adventures. Soon his wild barking attracted the little fellow's attention and he ran as fast as he could to . share the amusement. The dog had killed a gopher and was worrying it. The boy was in terested for a time, but sooii some thing else took his attention, and off they both went again. So by little and little, they wandered farther and farther from home. Now the boy tried to make friends with a" little, yelping prairie dog, but he jumped into his hole. Then the dog started a jack rabbit, but he was soon out of sight. Qnce, at some distance, they saw a solitary deer, but only for a " moment. Soon the prairie looked less familiar and the ranch was long out -of sight. Still the boy and bis faithful companion rambled along, too much interested in what they came across to notice how late it was getting. At last, when the boy begau to get hungiy, they turned to go back. Over th bluffs and into ravines, across a little creek and through patches of sage brush, and yet tney couldn't find" the ranch. Darker, and darker it grew, and the little fellow cried loudly for "mamma," but she could not hear him. The ' dog ran ahead and barked and leaped on his iittle master and encouraged him to on, but the - boy was tired out. He sat down on ; the ground and cried. An ugly blaek buzzard sailed5 heavily over him, A eoybte howled not far away. The- warn ing note of a rattlesnake- 6tartled the dog, but the child" just cried 'Pitcher's Castcrla- aloud for "mamma!" The sun had gone down. It was completely dark. He was lost on the prairie, and he was only four years old. When the ranchman rode home that night, in company with his men, he" founu.the mother anxious about her boy. He had often wandered off, being an adnentur pus child, but had never stayed so long away before. ''We'll soon find him, mother,' the cowboys cried cheerily, and without waiting to eat their sup per they jumped on their ponies again, and, taking different direc tions, sallied out to find the wanderer. They had no doubt that they would bring him in with in an hour at most. 'Such a bit of a kid couldn't get far," they said. After awhile, when it was quite dark, one rode back. "Have they brought him in yet?" he cried as he dismounted. The disappointed mother only bhook her head. One alter another teey came in, all without the boy. Thev looked very grave, lor there are some ravenous animals about a Jew wolves and mountain lions. Cow ardly brutes they all are, but the child would fall asleep when tired out an(l jie COnld not even lisht a Last-of all came the father, who was so fond and so proud . of his little bov. He looked very much worried, but cheered his wife with a caress and a tew words, and then, after a cup of coffee and a bite of meat, they cook fresh ponies and all rode out into the night. With-the morning they came back again, but witjiout the boy. Then the poor mother became helpless from doubt and grief and they were unable to conquer her alarm, for the men themselves were now almost worn out.- About a day's march irom the ranch lies a military post called Fort Supply. At it there were three troops of cavalry. .A cowboy rode off to the pest to ask' the soldiers to help him. Another in formed a neighboring ranch of their loss. Very soon, considering the distance, a detail came from the post and more cow-boys from the other ranch. Meanwhile the father still roamed the prairie, luuitijig every ravine and wildly crying aloud for his boy. Two of the officers' wivesr also came out from Fort Supply, and relieved the child's mother from all trouble about the needs of the house. The poor woman was by this time verging onlnsaoity. All that duv and all that night the prairie was scoured. Soldiers and nnw- bovs vied with each other who should be first to-restore the child. All that day and all that night man after man came riding iuto tbe ranch for things they need- ed and Irom each the hysterical mother's easrer Queries were- met hv the same irrave shake of the -j head. Perhaps they had ridden within s few yards of him: They could not tell. It is so easy for a little thing-to lie hidden and tin- noticed among the bluffs of the plains. lie was now too- weak to cry out, they argued ana, prooaoiy he was dead. But the weather showed signs of changing from warm t'o cold', from sunshine to wind and snow. A last, desparate effort must be made before the coming blizzard wouldr render- it impossible to cenrcli:.

It was almost impossibly that a little four-year-old bo should have , lived so long un- sheltered and unfed, but no' one could rest until they found him living, or cold and still.- . The soldier formed skirmish lines, that is, they opened' out Ut within about twenty yards of each1 other, and 4g'stematically explored every inch of the country they" thought it probable the boy could have reached. Night and day" they searched, cow-toys and soldiers together, and the1 weather grew colder and colder and each1, minute made the search more' hopeless. ' Once they came where a mark- in a sandy bank showed that litlle' feet had slipped down it?
