Homo Arfcxln.
There's a face at the window and smil
ing at me;
A little hand waving in babyish glee.
And shadows that lurked in the even
tide glouni
Are banished the baby is once more
at home.
The silence that reigned through 'be
old sitting-room;
The halljthat was shrouded in echo
less gloom;
And long, lonesome hours with slow
steady pace
All changed by a glimpse of a sweet
baby face.
The welcomeless coming when day's
toil was done;
The long, cheerless eve when dark
shadows were spun;
The long, dreary night with no joys
to beguile
All changed by the gleam of a sweet
baby smile.
The burden of toil through the. hours
of the day
Grows lighter at thoughts of an even
ing of nlay
With baby at home; and I'm waiting
10 see
The bright baby welcome that's wait
ing for me.
Now pressed to the pane is the baby's
dear face;
Her hand waves me welcome with
infantile grace.
And brighter and brighter the sun
shlne3 above
At home is a baby, and welcome, and
love.

CREATED WEALTH
Something from nothing a garden
from a desert. Such is the histoiy of
irrigated sections. Take land that sells
for 50 cents an acre, put water on it,
and it sells forwhat? TJiere are
quarters of land in irrigated sections
of Colorado that cannot be purchased
for $20,000 and which earn a remunei
ative interest on that valuation.
And yet you can purchase irrigated
lands where the soil is perfect beyond
belief, where the water supply is plen
tiful and inexhaustible, where climatic
conditions are healthful and exhilar
ating, where fuel is abundant and
cheap, for from $15 an acre up.
THE REASONS:
The North Platte Valley, extending
from Bridgeport, Neb., to Guernsey
wyo., and the Big Horn Basin, Wyom
ing, have been but recently maae
available for settlement by the exten
sion of tho Burlington railroad into
those sections. The irrigating compn
nies must have settlers along their
ditches and they offer substantial in
ducements in the shape of low-priced
water rights and lands.
HOW LONG WILL THIS "CONDITION
CONTINUE?
None may say surely, but it won't be
lor long, and the sooner you invest
the cheaper will you be able to do so,
for tho advance is just as sure as has
been the advance in the price of sim
ilar lands in other sections.

Francis, General Passenger Agent,
Burlington Route, Omaha. -
