The NORTH PLATTE VALLEY
Government Irrigated Homestead land, Carey Act land, and
private deeded lands are yet available on favorable terms in this
great rich valley, so close to all the good markets.
THE NEW RAILROAD; This great agricultural valley is on the new
main line through Central Wyoming, now being completed, and
this is an important factor in considering the future value of these
rich agricultural lands. There is no other irrigated valley so close
to all the Eastern markets.
BEET SU6AR FACTORY: Already located in the valley, and
thousands of acres are planted to beets each year; other thousands of
acres are growing alfalfa, but there is lots of room for more people.
For further particulars write me.

Levi Lines was born in North

married to Miss Sarah Burton in
North Hamptonshire, England. To

Lines of Atlantic City, Iowa, and
George Lines of Inman, Neb. When
he came to America Mr. Lines settled
at Auburn, New York, where he re
sided for twelve years, then moving
to Nebraska and settling in Johnson
county. Here his wife died and then
he took land in Keya Paha county,
moving on the homestead, four miles
northeast of Springview,. For the
last twenty years he has made his
home with his son, George. He was
always a stout, robust man until the
4th day of June, 1913, when he was
taken sick and was a great sufferer
up to the time of his death.
Mr. Lines was a member of the
Luthern church, which he joined when
a young man, and has lived a true
Christian. The bereaved family
have the sympathy of their many
friends.

THE CURIOUS AXOLOTL
- !
It’s a Regular Jekyll and Hyde Sort of
Reptile. i
Persona of only ordinary powers of ,
observation know that tadpoles bec ome 1
frogs. This process of transformation 1
is one of the most interesting of the
many curious things that go on about '
us every day. The case of the tadpole I
and frog is mentioned that the reader ;
may more easily understand a reptile !
that is found in southern California
and Mexico.
There are several varieties of sula
mandrine reptiles in North America, all
of them perfectly harmless. One in
particular lives in the desert regions of
the southwest. The Mexicans call it
the axolotl. It is perhaps the most
curious of all reptiles. It is n light
gray or pure white translucent reptile
about seven inches in length. It lives
in lakes and ponds, breathes through
gills just back of the front legs, has a
long tail and caudal fins above and
below that extend its entire leng'li a no
four stout legs with v lib-n ir creeps
about 'he h. Mom <>f tile pond.
In i:ie legion where these reptiles
live lung continued droughts are com
mon. Then the ponds and lakes dry
up. As the water falls evaporation be
gins. Instinct warns the axolotl that
there will shortly be no water, and he
makes preparation for a terrestrial
life. The gills disappear, and he comes
to the surface for air just as a tadpole
does when he Is about to become a
frog. As the water grows shallower
the axolotl loses a portion of his tail,
sheds his caudal fins, changes from
white to brown with gray spots and
when the water is quite gone takes to
, the sand hills and becomes a spotted
salamander.
The most remarkable thing about it
all is that when the water supply is
not exhausted he lives his entire life
as an axolotl and never tries to become
a spotted salamander By experimen
tation an axolotl has been made to un
dergo almost complete transformation
and then lias been turned back into an
axolotl again —Youth’s Companion.
MYSTERY OF THE SALMON.
Their Annual Mad Rushes and Death
After Spawning.
The world's greatest salmon runs are
to be found along tile shores of the
north Pacific- ocean, in the states of
Washington. Oregon and California,
the province of British Columbia and
Alaska, on the American side, and Si
beria and Japan, on the Asiatic side
So far. however, but few salmon have
been canned on the Asiatic side
To one who has never witnessed
these annual runs it is almost an im
possibility to convey an adequate im
pression of the countless numbers of
fish that swim in from the sea in the
late spring and summer, all imbued
with the same desire—to gain suitable
grounds In the upper reaches of the
rivers, some of which are from 1,500 to
2.500 miles in lengtti. where they may
perpetuate the species.
No obstacle appears too great to be
surmounted in this feverish rush.
Jumping falls, shooting rapids, dodg
ing nets, bears, birds, mink, otter and
other enemies, fighting with other
males, whom the near approach of the
breeding season renders especially sav
age—all these are taken as a matter of
course
And yet one sometimes wonders If
the heroic struggle is worthily repaid,
for the moment of victory is also that
of death, as sad to relate, these
valiant voyagers can tireed hut once
and then must die. their wasted bodies
which have received no nourishment
since leaving salt water, becoming the
prey of any prowling hear or carrion
bird which may chance upon them
Why these fish should all die after
spawning still remains one of the great
unsolved mysteries of the scientific
world.—Wide World Magazine
Pocket Hunters.
There is no more interesting charac
ter In California than that class of
prospector known ns tlie “pocket hunt
er.” In certain sections of the moim
tains the rich gold deposits are con
mined In small scattered pockets near
the surface The pocket miners often
discover many rich deposits by tracing
tile particles of gold In the soil to
their sources As soon as a pocket Is
gouged >>ut and colors of gold are no
"’ongi r shown the place Is abandoned
In one pocket In Trinity county as
much as $45,000 was yielded in a few
feet—Argonaut
How He Uses His Hands.
Some curious facts about Mr. Town
lend, the art editor of London Punch,
are narrated. He Is a curious instance
of ambidexterity. His drawings are
done with the left hand, but his letters
are written with the right band. He
is left handed as a billiard player, but
right handed us a card dealer. And
when he plays cricket he is a left
handed bowler but a right handed
batsman.—London Answers.
Way to Marital Happiness.
“Marry a bright woman for success
and a pretty one for happiness,” ad
vises a student of the problem. Also
one who can cook for the benefit of the
digestion might be advisable, but the
pesky laws limit you to one.—Louis
ville Courier-Journal.
Between Girls,
Marie—How are you going to reform
him? Kate—By marrying him. Marie
—Goodness! Does he require such he
roic treatment as that?—Boston Tran
script
There Is no tonic like that which
comes from doing things worth while,
—Orison Swett Maiden.
