right the same by taking public land. A
person can not move from land Of his or her
own in the same territory to take Preemp-
ton, and no person the owner Of three hundred
and twenty acres can preempt. Neither can
you preempt land that is used for purposes of
trade or business.
Generally speaking the land Office will &C
cept cd. s." on any land. If the tract APP
piled for is covered by a Tree claim or Home
stead, the officers may or may not reject
fling. Hence the acceptance of a I'D. s." by
the land Office goes a very little way toward
showing the land is vacant. And persons
should remember that an error in filing is
very hard thing to overcome, and usually costs
the preemptor his rights. Generally speaking,
filing once made must stand, and carries the
right with it. In cases of mistaken descrip-
ton, az for instance, settling on one piece of
land and filing on another, under the impress
sion that you are taking the tract settled on
the Commissioner on proper showing, backed
up by good affidavits, will amend filing.
But this costs about $25 and takes time. 1t is
better to go slow and be sure you are right
before filing.
HOMEsTEADs.
Any person who is the head of family, or
over twenty-one years of age, and who is
native or naturalized citizen of the United
States, or has declared his or her intention to
Il do
Homestead entry, is entitled to enter 16O acres
of land, either single or double minimum as
homestead. The fee to he paid at the time
of entering is $l4 for minimum and $l8 for
double minimum land. The oath to be taken
must be made before the Register or Receiver
al the land office unless some member of the
family is actually living on the land, and
house has been built thereon, when the oath
can be taken before a clerk of a court of record
in the county where the land is situated.
If the land is entered at the land Office, the
homesteader has six months in which to COM
mence residence on the tract, and during that
time the entry is not subject to contest. Be-
fore the six months expire an actual bona. fdc
residence must be established on the tract. It
must then be resided on continuously for five
years from the time of entry, or four and one
half years from time of taking up residence
upon it, when it can be proved up on. The
final proof fees are 50, if within the railroad
limits, and IS without.
But soldiers and sailors in the late war are
entitled to deduct the term of service up to
four years, but they must reside upon the land
one year at least. If desired, an ex-soldier or

months" it is subject to contest and should
contest be started and the fact of an abandon
ment be proved, the entry would be cancelled.
But it is not an infexible law. 1t is con-
strued literally. Sickness, death, or insanity
in the family-poverty, even.will greatly
mitigate and possibly remove the difficulties
of what might look like total abandonment.
The whole gist of the land laws can be put
in two words-good faith. If a preemptor or
homesteader does the very best he can the law
will be found on his or her side. Hence, as
above, no infexible rule can be laid down.
Another provision of the homestead law pro-
vides it can be decided the same as preemp-
ton at any time by showing six months regu-
lar residence and cultivation and by paying
the Government $l.25 or $3.50 per acre, owing
to whether it is without or within the railroad
limits. This is called Committing" Home
stead, and does not affect the claimants pre-
emptiou rights. Government lands are not
subject to taxes until decided.
TREE CLAIMS.
Any person entitled to enter other Govern
ment lands is entitled to take a Tree Claim of
100 acres, regardless of whether the person is
holding other lands or not. The entry fee is
ia, regardless of quality of land. One-quar-
ter of each section can be taken as Tree
Claim, or in other words, one-fourth of the
Government land can be so taken. Residence
on tree claim is not required, neither is the
entry man required to live in the vicinity, or
even in the State; but the person entering
must be in the land district at the time of max
ing the entry under this law. After entering
it, all other acts can be performed by an agent
During the first year after entry, five acres
must be plowed. During the second year, five
acres more, and the first five cultivated. Dur
ing the third year, the first five acres must be
planted to timber-timber seeds or cuttings
and the second five acres cultivated. During
the fourth year the balance must be planted to
seeds or cuttings, and then the
timber must be cultivated for four ~ years.
The law makes suitable provisions for failure
by drouth, etc., and provides for an extension
of time to thirteen years, for such failures.
If, at the end of eight years, there are 6,750
good, thrifty growing trees on the tract, it can
be decided on payment of $40.
This is the favorite law of parties who
simply wish to take land without residence,
and a very profitable law it is. These claims
are fast going, and ere many years it will be
thing of the past to get 1T. c." Strong OPP

Ignorance is bliss tits folly to be wise"
One of the ways by which hotel chamber
maids make extra money is by collecting
the toothbrushes which are left in the rooms
by forgetful guests. Thousands of them are
collected in the hotels of this city every year
and again placed in a sphere or usefulness
by enterprising chambermaids and dealers.
There are several buyers who almost daily
visit the bachelors of the great hotels and
lodging houses in search of these toilet arti-
cles, which are known to the trade as sec
onds."
For a fine toothbrush which originally
cost from so cents to 81 and is still in good
condition, the collectors pay 5 cents, while
inferior brushes, or those which are a little
the worse for wear, bring only or 3 cents
each The majority of brushes collected are
OF good quality and show no marks OF use,
save, perhaps, a little yellOwness on the
bristles or handle, for, as a rule, there is no
toilet article about which its owner is so par
ticular as the brush with which he cleans his
teeth, and as soon as it shows traces of wear
it is discarded.
