Refuge For Criminals.

BY examining n map of the United
States a small strip several millions of
acres in extont, marked Public land"
will be seen dividing the States of
Kansas and Texas. This strip of
the country vas left out by mistake
in the original surveys and is not
included in any State or Territorial
jurisdiction. Neither is il reached BY
United States law. 1t is wholly without
judicial authority and is conse-
quently the abode Of the very worst
classes in the country. Cattle thieves
and criminals OF all kinds resort to it
as refuge from justice and Iatoly cat
tlemen have partly taken possession of
it to sgade the action of the President
excluding them from the Indian Ter.

their ranches. without fear Of moles-

Plump is intended to destroy the nest
Of criminals and outlaws and place

tends the United States law over it and
for judicial purposes attsches il to the

Learn a Trade.

An item now floating about among
the papers. says the Philadelphia led
ger, is sufficiently explained in Its
headline: Spoke six languages and
nearly starved" 1t tells of misdirected
education. If the unfortunate linguist
had understood six trades, or even
one, he would have been in muck less
danger of starvatipa, and No could
probably have learned six trades with
less trouble and expense that six
languages. Higher education is a very
good thing for ,hosc who can afford
the luxury, and snot Incompatible
with tho kind Of knowledge that
enables one to earn living, but fer
nine teuths of hGmsni;y the important
thing is to learn, in early life, some
trade or calling that will ensure sup.
port, so that, whether they afterwards
learn six languages or not, they will
not be in danger of starvation.
