Blaine az Q Catholic.

''In the matter of Christian religion,
James G. Blaine came to Augusta a
Catholic, and carried his Bible and ros-
AIRY to church; when he went into poll
tics the Catholic church was not popu-
lar enough, and he appostalized and
went into the Congregational church,
ON the condition that he should not be
called on to make prayer in church.
What is his war record that it should
entitle him to the confidence of the
people, although he was foremost in the
proceedings that led to the wat7 He
was the first to be drafted in his district.
But prior to that an organization had
been effected in Augusta to protect
men against the draft. Each member
paying S25 to the fund to hire substi-
tute if drafted. Mr.. Blaine hired a
man named Bradford. A soft place
was found for the man to remain at the
post i'm Augusta instead of going to the
front. After a while he was detected
in selling for money certain certificates,
and he was kept in Jail until the close
of the war. That constituted Mr..
Blaine's service in the field. After the
was had closed, the men who had been
drawn claimed that the towns and cit
les should pay the expenses they had
been put to, and Augusta generously
voted to pay these men the money they
had payed for substitutes, and Mr..
Blaine got his bond for 500. But that
is not the end. afterwards resolu-
tion was put before the Common Coun-
Gil of Augusta to pay Mr.. Blaine 500,
the amount he had paid for substitute,
and it was voted and passed, and he
was paid. That you can, rely on as be-
ing true story .---Pillsbury, of Maine.

Judge Peters Talks.

In congress the other day, Judge Pc
ters, Of this congressional district
made speech in which he took occa-
sion to show that the west is being
greatly inconvenienced by reason of
the general land department being
away behind in the matter of issuing
patents for public lands. Judge Pc
ters said:
"Mr. Chairman, we have brought to
Our attention this peculiar and anoma-
lous fact, presented from extracts
which have been read from reports of
the land department, and known to ev-
cry member Of this house from the
west, that the commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office is from twelve to six
teen months behind in issuing patents
for lands. A party who settles upon
the public domain makes his improve
.mehts, then goes to the local land Office,
makes his proof, and receives his final
certificate. He is then authorized I'M
der any law anywhere to transfer the
equitable title which he has in that land
to any one for a consideration.
HE knows that when he makes that
final proof it will be from twelve tosix-
teen months before the patent can is
sue. If he desires to change his place
of residence if by means Of dYouth, mis-
fortune, or sickness he desires To- dispose
of his land, he can do so under that a.:
nal certificate, and it may be disposed
of to some one of your constituents
who goes there to seek home on the
prairies. That man goes in there
knowing the man has final certificate
because he can see it, knowing he has a
a right to dispose of his title because
that any lawyer can tell him. He buys
the quarter section and goes on in bliss
full ignorance of the volcano on which
he is standing. After the expiration
of year he learns through some source,
not direct from the department, that
his title to the land has been undergo
ing investigation through some special
agent sent there, and that the original
entry has been declared fraudulent and
is held for cancellation.
"For the first time he then learned
that his title to his home had been can
celed in a proceeding to which he was
not party and Of which he knew moth
ing. The original entry man from
whom he purchased has left the coun-
try; the money paid is gone; the home
is taken from him; his year of toll in
making improvements upon the piece OF
land he intended to occupy as home
is entirely lost, and he is houseless and
homeless; and all because this great
government, for the preservation Of
which perhaps he battled in the latt
late war, made it possible for the per
petration of this fraud upon an limo
cent man. The government should
protect this man.

Are you willing to hazard an opinion

The first cattle that were brought into
the AInerica1i colonies, says the Dro-
vers' Journal. were landed at the James
plantation in Virginia about the year
1907 or l6OS, and are supposed to have
come frem the West Indies, having de-
scended from the cattle brought by
Columbus on his second voyage in 1893.
In 1910 several cows were landed, and
a hundred brought to the plantation in
1911, and here was the beginning of
cattle production in America. In or
der to encourage the production of cat

One OF the Oldest cattle firms in west

One OF the oldest cattle firms in west
ern Nebraska, whose cattle roam in
that state, in Wyoming and in eastern
Colorado, have for years put up all the
hay they could. Last winter and spring
they fed 3,l25 tons of hay, and some
corn to their bulls, cows and calves,
and although the season was unusually
severe the losses were estimated at
not more than two per cent. A men,
ber of the firm said recently. "Al-
though most Of the big stockmen think
It impossible and like child's play to
feed their range stock, we consider that
every ton of hay we feed will bring us
back $50, and yet our range is unexcell-
ed. We shall feed all our bulls next
winter and some of our COWS and
calves.
