The second gieat contln eiilul emigration has begun to the open places of the west and south west. The spirit of the pioneer Is once more stirring.

The rigors ami the hardships of 'III are hurled In the past which met mid coniiuered them. The new lamllust exacts no toll of hunger mid of thirst.

The plains are not beautiful. The temperature Is high, but It seldom rises us high as in New York or Washing ton, nnd the dry heat Is far less op pressive than tin' humidity of Philadel phia or Chicago in the summer mouths. The air Is snappy nml good nml wholesome: It Is full of vitality; the wnter Is pure ami sweet. Storms art not frequent ami, even though spec-1 tuciitnr at times, seldom dangerous.
