Provisions of the United States
Homestead Laws.

Any person who is the head of {
family, or twenty.one years of age
and is a citizen of the United States
or has declared his intention to be.
come a citizen as required by tn,
naturalization laws. is entitled to thu
benefit of the homestead law.
The right of homestead extends tc
one hundred and sixty acres of sur.
veyed minimum lands, or eighty acres
of double minimum.
A party, to obtain title to a home
stead under the provisions of this
law, must. after selecting the tract
of land be desires to enter, file at the
District Land office an application to
enter upon the land and pay the fees
and commission allowed. He must
Their occupy and cultiUdte the land or
period OF fve gears. At the explr
alton of five years, or within two
wears thereafter, he must make sat
isfactory proof at the Distric. Land
Office of settlement and cultivation,
aud paw the final commission.
Filing the application will hold
the law for six months, within which
time the party must occupy and i'm
prove the land. In connection with
the application the party ust make
affidavit THAT said application is
made for the purpose of actual
settlement and cultivation that
said entry is made for my own excIu.
sive benefit, and not directly or indi-
rectly for the benefit or use OF any
other person or persons whomsoev-
err; neither have L perfected or
abandoned an entry heretofore made
under this act"
If the party is actually residing
upon the land and for good causes
cannot personally appear at the
Land Office, this affidavit may be
made before the clerk of the court
for the county wherein he resides
The proof of settlement and Guilt
walton required, is the affidavit OF
the party, supported by two credible
witnesses.
Upon proof satisfactory to them,
and payment of final commission,
the land officers will issue o certifi-
cate to the party, and make return
to the General Land Office. A pat
ent will then be issued and the home.
stead settler becomes owner of tie
land in fee.
Homesteads are not liable for
debts contracted before the issuing
of the patent.
A homestead settler forfeits all
right to the land, by absence there
from for more than six months at
one time during the FIVE years, if the
fact Of such absence is satisfactorily
proven to the land officers.
In case of the death of the home
stead settler before perfecting bis
claim, his widow, or, in case Of her
cath, his heirs may continue the
settlement and cultivation and, upon
making the revuisite proof, obtain
title. Should both parents die leav :
ing minor children, the homestead is
required to be sold for the benefit of
the heirs, and the purchaser will re.
ceive title from the United States.
The fees and commission are re-
CURED to be paid when entry is made,
and are as follows:

s&- An impor tant decision was
rendered in the United States Dis.
trict Court of Missouri, the principle
of which is of wide application. 1t
appears that bonds issued by many
counties of that state to RI ilroads
have not been stamped according to
law, and the United States brought
suits to enforce the penalty. The
suits against Buchanan and Jackson

therefore, not proper parties to pro

How Greeley Started the Tribune

Greeley, in the establishment of
the Tribune, bad neither money,
partner nor backing. One friend
loaned him from time to time ii
thousand dollars, waiting a year for
repayment. At the end Of the first
week of its publication, it's receipts
were S92, and its expenses 1925
In 1868 it's circulation during the

thousand copies; and its annual res
ceip,s have approximated for some
years to a million of dollars. OF
the ideal newspaper which he was
seeking to maintain, Mr.. Greeley
says: MY aim was to make the
Tribune a journal that should express
its editors convictions fearIessly and
forcibly, yet not be the organ of any
clique. That it should be liberal
without indifference, and open TO
the reception aud recognition of
truth, even from an unfriendly
source"

Hh Editorial Work and HIs Wonderful Maps.

An article of a thousand words
(mixed with thoughts) would ex-
haust most mems intellectual powers
for day; but Greeley will write
twice or thrice this quantity every
day or night in the week then his
editorial writing is bnt = 1.-THE of his
work. He is busy every wide
awake hour with one thing or anoth-
er. One might think his mind and
body would be wholly exhausted by
writing alone; but be has always
strength and time for each of the
other hundred demands constantly
pressed upon him. 1t has often said,
and | believe truly, that bis remark

moment, has saved him from break-
ing down. l have many times seen
this ability illustrated in amusing
ways. He will write an article, and
as soon as be has put the last words
on paper, he will be sound asleep.
He will deliver speech at meet
ing and then retire to a chair in the
rear of the platform and sleep all
through the other speeches. When
perplexed by the visit of bore or
batherskite, be will quietly drop off
to sleep. He will take little maps at
public dinner, during the post
prandial speeches. He is famous
for sleeping at DR.. Chapin's church,
during the howery sermons. He
willsleep in the street cars, omuibuses,
and all sorts of public places There

very melancholy. There was none

the trouble was, and RETAINED from
mentioning our defeat, hoping to
distract his thoughts. He said little
or nothing. He seemed absor bed 10

breakfast bell rang, and we walked
in to breakfast. The same depress.
ion continued. He sat with his
head bowed, and said nothing, re-
fusing to eat for several minutes.
Then be said, in his usual pleasant
voice : Can | go to your study
and lie DOWN." replied, "Yes;" and
be went out / found him there a
few minutes later, and saw that he
was suffering Intense menta anguish.

friend of Mr. Greeley, and we con-
versed cheerfully in his presence
about the defeat, taking the most

Mr.. Greeley ate nothing. | advised
him to take cup Of tea, but be re-
fused. Sometimes, when weak and
nervous, be would drink q cup of tea
and tet better afterward He left
the table before dinner was over,
and sat in the parlor la the after
noon some more of his friends called,
and called coach, aud we took a
ride through the park. That night
Mr. Greeley went to bis lodgings. |

found him little if any better | ad-
vised him to 90 to Chappaqua and
take the country air. He went out
there and remained two weeks
John C. Ferguson went with him

These facts just now made public,

for the weakness in an emergency

A Comet Knocked Into smithereens.

There has been a good deal of
speculation, first and last, as to what
would be the effect should the earth
come in contact with a comet. But
the terror which the thought once
awakened has been materially disap-
pated by the fact that comets have
been shown to be almost impondera>
ble-a mere luminous fog. But
might not comet set fire TO our at
mospEere or fill it with some delete
ous gas? OF course nobody caa tell,
as nobody could know of what mate.
rails the comet is composed. Bot it
seems at last we have really come in
contact with comet or It's frag.
ments. The telegraph tells US that
Professor Newton. of Yale College,
on the evening Of Nov. "a b, saw 25O
shooting stars, which are believed to
have been the fragments Of the lost
Biela's comet. It's approach was not
visible. 1t had either been knocked
into fragments by contact with some
denser body, or possibly been con-
densed into solid drops, so to speak,
by passing through cold stratum in
space, as the cloud in our atmosphere
is condensed into rain drops. So, in
stead of Biels's comet as it was, we
get shower of meteors-an exhibit

The Red Cent.

AS the old cred cent" has now
passed out of use, and except rarely
out of sight, like the "old oaken buck
et", its history is a matter of sutti-
Gent interest for preservation. The
cent was first proposed by Robert
Morris, the greatest Hnancier of the
Revolution, and was named by jeff
erson two years after 1t began TO
make it's appearance from the Mint
in 1902 1t bore the head of Wash .
ington on one side and thirteen links
cn the other The French revolu-
ton soon created rage for French
ideas, America, which put on the
cent the head of the Goddess of Lib
er;y-a French liberty, with flowing
locks. The chain on the reverse re-
placed by the olive leaf of peace.
But the French liberty was short liv-
ed, and so was her portrait on the
cent. The next head or figure sue
ceeding this-the staid, class dame,
with tillet round her head-came in.
to fashion about thirty or forty years
ago, and her finely chiseed Grecan
features have been slightly altered
in the lapse of time.
