Hero and there you Mill will find
" In the rapid thinning ranktt
Survivals of that sterling band
( that once pressed the frontier's
flanks
HcmnantH of a valiant rc whose
sands have nearly run;
Their toilsome journey ended, their
life's great labor do rye.
Halt of step, eyes grown dim, and
Keenness gone from ears;
Heads now mantled with the frosts
and snows of many years
Stalwart men and women, slowly
. - 'drifting down life's way
They were the study pioneers of
what seems but yesterday.
A great and wild unknown will
beckon them no more;
They must linger und abide at the
ocean's halting shore;
The long, long quest is ended; no
moro unspoiled domain
To lure them ever onward across
: tho trackless plain.
No wastes to tempt them forward;
. no more they'll be beguiled
By unknown forest stretches or
wildernesses wild;
No more sweep of. prairies entices
to Invade; 1
No more a savage foe to prompt
the trusty gun and blade.
The last frontier is conquered; the
sea's forbidding shore
Has stopped the onward marching
and tho pioneer day 1h o'er.
-, Still unbeaten, still unbroken, they
accept the modes of fate
With that fortitude which Jaid
down tho foundations of the
state. .
They're the Inst of a grand race
that's subdued a virgin land
From Atlantic's jutted coast to the
great Pacific's strand.
JuHt a few of those whoso like we
will never see again 1
Tho best of our land's womanhood,
the best of her sturdy men.
We of this day will never know tho
hardships they endured,
To what trials and vicissitudes and
privations were inured.
By maladies and Indians often
times beset;
Ity beasts of plain and forest they
oftentimes wore met; .
Tortures ot winter's blasts and
summer's scorching sun;
Other torments by the score from
the time their march begun.
Many dropped along the journey,
but not from spirit dead;
Many graves and bleaching bones
marked the pathway of their
tread.
Yet the skulking foes of forests or
the stretches of the pluln
Ne'er gave birth to cowardice, nev
er chilled the blood in vein.
Westward, onward, evoi on, o'er
the Alleghany slopes .
To the Mississippi basin, with nev
er flagging hoper;
Across the vast prairies to tho
, Rockies snowy peaks.
O'er the arid desert where the pois
. on serpent creeps;
Onward to tho gold fields, never
halting in their quest
Until their trek had ended at the
shoreline of tho west, ,
What a spirit and a faith had those
sturdy pioneers "
Who havo battled ever onward for
the past three hundred years!
Braving the forbidding frown of
sun and wind and snow,
Pressing on relentlessly, disregard
lng every foe!
Tho hardship and privation their
promise was the least,
Undaunted they pressed forward
from the thinly settled east
Women, some with babes In arms,
who kept by their husband's
sides;
Children, fearful-eyed and doubt
ful, youthful grooms and fuilh
ful brides.
As one decade of pioneers sought
ease from urge of quest,
Scientific Notes
By Frank X. Wcllcr
(Associated Press Farm Editor)
WASHINGTON. -GT) Just when
science has about decided a cow's
outsjdo appearance is an index to
her producing capacity,, the same
ecienco finds that maybe it isn't so
after all. '
This it docs know not all tho
facts regarding relationship of ex
ternal and internal anatomy are
in keeping with present beliefs and
teachings. What It has yet to dis
cover 1s a scientific explanation
either to justify the present prac
tice of estimating what a cow can
do by what she looks like, or prove
tho fallacy of the theory.

In his latest work, the well
known local resident pays poetical
tribute to the pioneer. A son of
pioneers, and a pioneer himself,
he writes from first hand know
ledge, and, as a result has pro
duced, what is regarded by his
friends and admirers, as his out
standing creation.
Their sons and daughters then took
up the conquest of tho west.
Each succeeding generation faring
from tne parent home
To push the border farther In a
wild and virgin loam,
Laying tho foundation for a future
soon to come.
When the stillness would bo broken
by a great industrial hum.
Few homes at first, then humlets,
villages and towns
Marked the patli of progress
which the modern city crowns.
CJ lancing now across the land of
their pilgrimage and trails,
Once tho sceno of untold hardships
and sufferings and travails,
We see tho lengthy sweep of a
groat empire unfurled,
A strong and mighty nation which
challenges the world.
Majestic citiicK sit enthroned, im
perial in their sway.
Thousands of lessor ones studded
as the starry way;
Villages and hamlets flocking tho
teeming land,
Furni plots In broad expanse tho
plains and vales command.
Commerce, Industry and trade well
nigh awesome in array;
Millions at their toil, flooding night
as well as day;
Dazzling scenes that far eclipse
vision dreaming of the past.
Art and science that almost sot the
entire world aghast;
Tho leader of the nations, tho the
youngest of them all, ,
Tho new world standH triumphant
in Time's historic hall
An accomplisment in less than two
centuries of years
The foundation laid for all by our
sturdy pioneers!
Today we have adventurers of
land and sea and air,
Intrepid men and women willing to
do and dare;
But they fare forth in quest of lau
rel wreaths of fame,
To return to worldly comforts and
tumultuous acclaim.
Not so those old frontiersmen
that race of days gone by
They ventured fjurlh to hostilo
wastes. With danger ill ways

To push tho border forward for a
nation's growing needs,

of tho beef type.
W. W. Swott, dairy husbandman
in tho deportment of agriculture,
who made tho study in conjunction
with K. It, Graves, specialist in
dairy cattle breeding, and F. W.
Miller, veterinarian, says tho liv
ing animals differed greatly in
size, weight and conformation, but
that when stripped of their outer'
covering tho skeletons of tho two
cows "were very similar."
Whereas tho living Blackbird
measured larger than Sophie in
many dimensions, a comparison of
the skeletons showed that, ot

Yet they would decry ostenta

Just a simple acknowledgment of

Recognition that their sacrifices

No great sarcophagus may hold

But upon the chancels of oui

Neither was body conformation
a fulr indication of tho skeletal
structure of tho iwo cows. In 1hc
living form Sophie presented tho
angular lateral wedge shape thta

In selecting the good dairy cow
whereas Blackbird, because of the
differences in fleshing, exhibited
only a slight wed go shape laterally
The two skeletons, however, were
almost Identical in lateral wedge
shape.
From those comparisons the in
vostigators conclude that the ovo
lutlon of tho dairy and bocf types,
which has been accomplished
through breeding and selection, has
not materially altered tho skeletal
structure of the domestic cow, and
that the true difference in beef
and dairy types is due rather to
extreme fleshing on tho one hand
and to udder development and ab
sence of fleshing on the other.

FIRST TO m
OF BEAUTY SHOP
It is within the memory, within
the business experience of one wo
man that tho first lone beauty
shop was established in this land
where now a beauty shop con
fronts us upon every hand. Fig
ures compiled by the United States
department of commerce tell us
the retail business in cosmetics
amounts to ? 200,0000,000 annually
n this country; that transactions i
n face powder alone amount to !
$25,000,000, and that sales aro in-
creasing at the rate of six per cent
per annum. ,
She was the first person to copy
ight a full line of toilet prepara
tions. She probably was tho first
conductor of a beauty column in a
newspaper and the first beauty lec
turer, in the south, at least. And
she Is still in tho came business.
manufacturing the same line of
specialties she establsihed in New
Orleans in 1882. She Is Mrs. Ella
It. Berry, proprietor of tho Berry
Beau tie la company, St, Loulsi
A Jioiictr
Voluminous scran books filled
with clippings of newspaper art!-1
cles from her own pen reveal Mrs.
Berry as a prolific writer. As a
pioneer in business she belonged to
an era when a woman would bet
ter explain her aims as she went
along if she didn't want to bo con-
idered n freak of nature. Mrs.
Berry's first advice In this direc
tion camo from Thomas Ilapier,
editor of tho old New Orleans
Picayune, when she presented her
first advertisement for display in
that journal. It was such a daring,
unheard-of proposition, it seems, a
woman venturing to disclose In
nermost secrets of tho boudoir and
the dressing table, that a gallant
southern gentleman could hardly
sponsor such a departure. Ho was
not unappreclative of hor ambi
tion, enterprise and ability. And
ho sympathized too with a young
woman with a suddenly invalided
husband and two children to jsui
port. Nor was he indifferent to selling
advertising space, presumably. But
couldn't she present her purpose
in less startling, more adroit form?
Couldn't sho write articles on
beauty,, fashion, tho domestic arts
and such Inoffenslvo subjects and
just introduce veiled references to
hor croams, lotions, powders,
methods of removing skin blem
ishes, freckles, superfluous hair;
changing contours and other' al
most unmentionable means of aid
ing or reconstructing tho beauty
which every woman was presumed
to have been born with?
A gentlewoman of the old school
herself, never a radical, sho took
tho editor's advice. And that is
how she came to be as well known
as a contributor to the editorial
columns of newspapers and peri
odicals In New Orleans and all
over the south. And as the editor
predicted, the one distinction lent
dignity to the othor, for she wroto
with a, facile pen and from a back
ground of unquestioned learning In
classical as well as technical lore,
a wido knowlcduge both of people
and books.
Sixmsorcd Movements
Through the years she exhausted
every subject that came up In tho
news of interest "to women. Sho
sponsored all the various steps
women havo taken In their politl
cal, economic, domestic, sartorial
emancipation. And sho was at
ways a little ahead of her times.!
Hut in tho movements sho advo-j
catod her preachments were al
ways in favor of evolution without
revolution.' Always sho counseled
her readers to remember they wore
ladles, the gentler sex. and must
make their appeals to men's gaN
lantry through tho old-fashioned
virtues and, above all, through
beauty.
Nor was she inconsistent in tills.
Today sho looks back upon, periods
of great success In business. When
sho moved from Now Orleans to
t. Louis In order to benefit In
freight rates from a more central
location of her territory which had
come to embrace the whole coun
try, her credit was rated by mer
cantile agencies at $250,000, a con
servative estimate and all her own
earnings. But today, recalling
these facts, rather would she dwelt
upon tne charms of nor grand
children than upon any other
triumphs. ,
