THEVOICELESSDAKOTA HEN.
A Terrible Indictment Against Two of Our
Recently Admitted  States.
ANN ARBOR
MICH.
We call the attention of the enterprising and irrepressible citizens of
Dakota to the fact that another enemy
has taken the field, says the N. Y.
Tribune. Arise, ye boomers of the
bounding plain.and defend your much-
malignea land! True, this new attack
comes, apparently, from a woman, but
we doubt if even her sex can save her
from the fury of the valiant landowners, town-lot agents, and editors of
the sun-kissed, blizzard-rocked prairies of the two Dakotas.
The lady in the case writes to the
Contributor's club of the Atlantic
Monthly. She refers to the two grand
imperial states simple as Dakota, and
says she once lived there for fourteen
months. We will pass over her ordinary, commonplace charge that the
winters are too cold and the summers
too hot; that the winds swirl up the
choking dust to the heavens, and the
blinding lightning flashes down upon
the defenseless earth; that the rain
falls in torrents; that the hail beats
out the brains of men and cattle; that
the blizzard rushes down the chimney
and blows out the lire in the stove;
that praire fires, started by the fierce
flashes of lightning,sweep the inarched
plain till they- are jarred out by the
earth-and-heaven - shaking thunder;
that in winter one's eyelids freeze together if one winks when looking out
of the window, and that, through it
all, there is the mighty, steady, wailing, roaring, surging, onward rush of
the deadly wind, cold as the boreal
pole in winter, hot as the breath of a
furnace seven times heated in summer, which drives "women insane and
causes men to pray for death and to
curse because it does not come to their
longing arms—we will, we say, pass
over these minor and commonplace
charges and come^at once to the worst
indictment ever framed against a
state of the American Union. It is
that no hen ever cackles or cock ever
crows in Dakota, such is the depressing influence of the wind. Warriors
of the booming prairies, arise and vindicate your chickens!
The lady treats the silence of the
hens at some length. The Dakota
hen, instead of loudly heralding her
wonderful feat of laying an egg, seems
to seek rather not to have the fact
known at all. She will slip away out
of the back door of the nest and comes
back to her scratching place in the
flower beds by a circuitous route, as if
she would convey the impression that
she had simply been walking in the
back-yard in search of a newly rumored colony of angle-worms- If caught
coming direct ly from the nest, she
'puts on a certain indifferent, it-wasn't-
I air, which says to the Atlantic contributor as plainly as words, "True, I
have been in the nest, but I went there
simply to rest." This ever-rushing
wind has crushed out her last spark of
gallinaceous vanity. No rising morn
in Dakota is greeted by the clarion
note of the chanticleer. The lady had
one rooster when she went there. He
crowed the first morning—the rest was
silent." The wind blew the crow all out
of him. Sometimes it -was pitiful to
watch him. He would get around behind a cabbagehead or tumbleweed or
spear of grass or something of that
kind where he was somewhat protected from the terrible wind, and open
his mouth to crow, but it would only
end in a little gasp, and he would
walk back and bear the reproachful
looks of the hens, while his tail-feathers cracked and whipped in the roaring
wind, while his top-not sailed away into the next county along with the
chimney of the Atlantic writer's house
and an anvil from a neighboring
blacksmith shop. Dakota appears to
be no country for a self-respecting
rooster to settle down in and look upon as home.
Our only reason for referring to these
serious charges of the Atlantic correspondent is to call the attention of the
sons of Dakota to them. We do not
feel that we need to attempt to answer them—Dakota is too wull able to
take care of herself. We will only add
that we have not yet told the»half. So
dog ever barks in Dakota. No horse
ever whinnies there. Eats will not
live there. Death rides on the awful
aerialmaelstrom.and desolation broods
endless o'er the hideous scene.

"Young man," said the adored one's

care anything about your ancestry,
and as for your financial standing, I
find it very satisfactory."
"Indeed, it's very kind of you, sir. I
am grateful "
"As I was saying when you interrupted me," continued the old man in a
tone almost severe, "I don't caraebout

"You can't know how glad I am to
have pleased you " began the happy lover of such a father's daughter,
only to be shut off with:

"You overwhelm me "
"But there is one question I wish to
ask you,, and I want a candid answer."
"Anything! Anything!" assented the
bewildered youth, joyfully.

The popularity of "The Great Bock
Island Route" as a Colorado line—it
having long time since taken first place
as the people's favorite between the
Lakes and the Mountains—ha.-, compelled the management to increase its
present splendid service by the addition
of a train that is one night on the road
from Chicago to Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo. This traiii will be
known as the "Rocky Mountain Limited," and will be put in service May
first. Leaves Ghicago daily at 10:45 a.
m., arriving at above cities in the
afternoon of the next day, earlier 'than
any of its competitors. Especial equipment has been built for this train, with
the view of making it a limited in
every sense of the word, and best of all,
there will be no extra charge. The
route of this exceedingly fast train is
by the Rock Island Short Line, and a
few of the large cities through which
ft passes, are Davenport, -Des Moin.es,
Council Bluffs, Omaha, Lincoln, Bea-
tric, Fairbury, Belleville, Phillipsburg,
Smith Centre, Colby arid Goodland.
This makes it a most desirable route,
and particularly interesting to the
traveler. Another point: T,he popularity of our dining-car service is still
on the increase, and no money spared
to make this service what our patrons
always say, "the best."
Our "Big o" will continue as usual,
leaving Chicago at 10 p. m., and arriving at Denver, Colorado Springs and-
Pueblo the second morning, being bat
one day out, and this fast and popular
train goes through Omaha.
Our No. 11 will leave as heretofore
a% 6 p. m., arrive at Kansas City at I) a.
m., and will reach Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo the second morning.
Our Colorado service is mado perfect
by this new "Rocky Mountain Limited" and the "Big 6," aud gives to the
traveling public TWO flyeks daily.
Manitou passengers should consult
the map and time tables of our line, to
fully appreciate the advantages in time
saved by taking this route, wheu on
their summer vacation.
