THE 8EMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. THE BUOII r A GOBI The Natural Pride of Those Who Take Part in It. To thoso who havo built railroads through and across tho prairie of Westorn Canada, connecting that great empiro of grain nnd cattle, hors" and sheep with tho world's markota In tho oast, must bo awarded the prlvllcgo of looking upon their work, and Its results with pardonablo prldo. If they romlnisccnco, and toll of tho hardships and tho privations, why shouldn't they? Tho broad prairies on which tho buffalo roamed and fed, aro now alive with cities, towns and villages. Farms largo and Btnall on which machinery has chasod tho bugaboo of laborious work off tho farm, and mak ing farm life ono of tho most pleasant and prosperous of occupations aro bolng cultivated by men of tho highest stamp of manhood. Many of theso havo Inherited from their forebears the physical strength and tho high typo 01 manliness that was theirs In tho days when they bowed' their homos out of tho virgin forest, and made them what may bo seen today, beau tiful farms In tho cast. On the wholo tho western prairies breed a high typo of manhood, wrest from him faultB and diseases which would bo his woro It not for tho upbuilding Influence and character of prairie life. When tho builder of tho western Ca nadian pralrlo looks upon tho result of his work, why shouldn't his chest ex pand? It was probably somo of this feeling of prldo that took possession of Sir Donald Mann, vice president of tho Canadian Northern Railway tho other day In Winnipeg, when ho saUt "I am not In tiia habit of giving ad vice, but I havo no hesitation of advis ing tho young men of Canada, every young man, to get out and get a piece of western Canada's land that now can bo had for the asking and be their own masters." "It was 36 years ago when I first came to Winnipeg," ho said. "At that time there were less than 150,000 people west of Lake Huron in Canada, and the only bit of railway in opera tion was between St. Bonifaco and Em erson about sixty miles. Today there are nearly 20,000 miles of railway in actual operation and tho population Is over two and a quarter million, a won derful achievement In such a short pe riod you will agree, when you havo contemplated it a moment." "At that time all tho flour, meat and many other supplies for our contracts were brought from tho States. Now consider what tho west is doing to day. You havo a grain production ex ceeding a billion bushels and yet only a comparatively small area of tho till able land of the country is occupied. Five years henco you will bo more than doub""" tint." A'i"hrtiscmcnt. Don't think because a woman lfl out spoken that sho can bo outtalked.

CTmil Corduroy Featured Besides fur-fabrics, which gave chance for a welcome variety in sep arate coats and jackets to bo worn with cloth skirts, corduroy has In creased its popularity for this purpose. Like fur-fabric it is moro effectively used as a wrap, with skirt of a plain material, than in suits, and It makes a handsome full-length coat for either street or dressy wear. Its adaptability to many purposes is explained by its manufacture in many colors and of cotton as well as wool or silk. Tho quieter colorings aro chosen for utility coats, tho bright hues for sports coats, and the rlchor qualities provide wraps for evening. The last aro almost always furnished with big fur collars and cuffs. An effective model In a corduroy short coat Is shown here. It is in taupe color with collar and cuffs of tho mate rial, and oven the large flat buttons covered with it. The skirt is of the heavy, glossy woolen cloth known as "kitten's ear," matches it in shade, and it seems that no other color is For tho small boy recently arrived nt tho dignity cf blouse and l.ar.U nothing radically new ha3 made Its appearanco In tho suits designed for spring.

Those who wish to get tho Bowing for spring undor way aro safe in making up his washablo suits and play rompers of tho usual fabrics.

"What Is tho matter?" "Nothing, Fried Hozokiah," was tho quiet rojolndor ot tho other, "only theo was snoring a llttlo, and I was afraid that outsiders might think tho spirit had moved theo to a trombono solo instead of an expression of thy convictions."

Then my physician told mo that I must stop drinking coffco or I could uovor expect to bo woll again. "I thought of Postum but could hardly bring myself to glvo up the coffee. "Finally 1 concluded that I owed It to myself to glvo Postum a trial. I got a packngo and carefully followed tho directions, and what a delicious, nour ishing, rich drink It was! Do you know, I found it very easy to shift from coffeo to Postum. "Almost immediately after I mado tho change I found myself hotter, and as tho days wont by I kopt on improv ing. My nrves grow steady, I slept woll and felt strong and well-balanced. Now tho old nervousness Is gono and I am woll onco moro."
