At this wage the cornhiiHkcrs are making from $3 to $ l.no and ? r > per day In the field.

STRINGING RAILS ON ROSEBUD An Ode to the Greeks Who Are Per forming the Task. Hy the severest toll 100 diminutive , outlandish , despised men are day by day ! pushing progress and civilization Into one of the remote corners of the t rails-Missouri country. "Dago" is the only appellation the settlers have for thorn along the line where they are laying the SCO pound rails In their places. When I found them resting after their arduous la bors were over for the day , I was sur prised to find them the handsomest group 1 had anywhere seen , and when I glanced at their story hooks , of all surprises , tlfuy were Greek. They reciprocated witli usury the Interest 1 showed in them , their books , their work , their plans , their people , their country and above all their coun try's history. Far from tholr vineclad hills , over looking Athens , and lying In full view of the distant Parthenon , the fairest work of human hands that has ever cleft the bine vault of heaven , na tives of classic Greece , who with the world's onward sweep have crossed the western sea to place steel rails In Dakota , still retain that love of homo and country for which the land of Hellas was over famed. It Is astounding that through the ages they have retained so much that ( s admired In the race that clvili/.ed the world. Persian and Homan ; northern hordes ; the crusaders that with strange frenzy left Spain in the grip of the prophet , while battling 300 years for the holy sepulcher ; Turk ; Russian and Uriton ; their deliverer In 1821 , the American Dr. Howe , the same that tnught Laura Urldgman , the first blind deaf mute that was over brought into communication with hu man intelligence ; none have left a trace on the national character. When the foreman pointed out a live-foot Hercules as the best man in the steel gang , he reminded mo that the protector of the Greek church , the C/.ar of Russia , had found to his cost that the little brown men were the ones who do things , but smiled at the idea of the mythological Hercules be ing only five feet high. Few women so far have crossed the Atlantic , but the men know as well as we that this will change , and follow ing the example of Ireland and Nor way , the transplanted race will out number the remnant at home. The soul Indeed is dormant , while the body , with the preiK > tenco of Spar tan breeding still persists , and the glory of Greece may have a second following in a more congenial clime. G. W.
