Memorizing Gems of Literature.
Bye. II. GURNEY,

Supt. of Schools, Shenandoah, Ia.
The practice of committing to memory
choice thoughts from our best authors
ought, think, to be made prominent
feature of public school work. These
gems of literature fixed in the memory
early in life remain with one and are a
source of constant help and satisfaction.
DR.. Bateman, of Knox College, ILL.,, says:
Had it not been for the wise course of
my parents, I should now be without the
comfort of innumerable gems of prose
and poetry, sacred and secular, which ]
committed to memory in childhood"
The practice of committing to memory
these golden thoughts has many advanta.

and correct habits. How shall the good
lesson be taught? The teacher sees that
among his pupils are those who are un-
truthful,
| For the next motto to be learned, he
chooses this from Sadi: "To tell false
hood IS like the cut of a saber; for
though the wound may heal, the scar of

he calls for volunteers to explain the
meaning; he gets prompt and telling ex-
plantations from truth-loving and truth

is often repeated by the school, A good
lesson has been taught. It comes to
light that pupils are reading bad litera.

words are learned from Paxton Hood
"Be as careful Of the books you read, as
of the company you keep; for your habits
and character are as much influenced by
the former as the latter. Study care

Hillerton, In Gunnison county, is
only "reminiscences. A prettier
place for town than the little park
In which it was located cannot be
found.
kekomo was as lively a place and
had as many inhabitants in 1881 as
Bonanza. The town has moved
down the hill and its corporate name
is now Recen.
There are many other places in
Colorado with histories similar to
the towns mentioned. Some of them
were killed by the onward march of
railroads and others because the
mines round about did not have the
value with which they were credited.

In October, Atlanta, Georgia, will
inaugurate series of most interest
ing displays in connection with the
Exposition. These will consist of
mimic representations of the battles
fought around Atlanta in the late
Civil War. The engagements of the
22d and 23d of July, 1864, and the
departure of the Federal troops on
November 16, with miniature re-
doubts, breastworks, forst and lines
of battle, will all be represented.
This is most commedable under
taking and can be carried out with
almost exact fidelity to facts. There
Is abundant description of these
events in print and plenty of men
still living to aid in reproducing
those thrilling historical scenes in
which they were active participants,

In claim jumping case, at An
thony, Kans., last week, Judge Ellis,
in making ruling, took occasion to
make few remarks that will be ap-
preciated by every one in this coun-
try who has had or is bavlng trouble
with contested claims and suspended
entries. He said: "The government
was a trustee for the sale OF this
Usage land, and when it received the
money of the settler and gave HIM a
receipt, the cancellation of that en-.
try is little better than highway rob.
berry. When party has in good
faith paid the government for the
land and the land office officials en-
ploy detectives to work up and man
ufacture evidence to destroy the
rights of that settler and secure the
cancellation of his entry, it is nc
better than highway robbery. The
government after receiving the mon
ey and issuing receipt thereof, has
no right to step in and deprive the
settler of his property."-Ex.

Last Saturdays Cincinnati Enquir-
er contained an interesting article on
LAND Bill" Allen, the originator of
the Holestead Act, from which we
take the following brief extract:
"Of all the multitude that have
staked off and claimed l6O acres of
land of the public domain In any
portion OF the United States, how
many know the history of the law
which enables them to do so?
Old, childless, almost friendless,
Land Bill Allen, the originator of
the Homestead Act, now resides at
New Albany, fourteen miles from
Columbus, Ohio.
Your correspondent drove out to
see him recently, and found a man
on whom eighty years of vicissitudes
and of struggling and of self denial
had not laid their hands heavily.
To this man, who began their bat
tie fifty years ago, over two millions
OF people now in the peaceful enjoy
ment of their homes owe their happi-
ness and prosperity, while he is him

pendent upon charity. In fact, many
times he has been on the verge OF

sS5, 900 or $4,000, all of which he
spent for the cause he had espoused.
Mr.. Allen was the son of a soldier
of the war of 1912, who took part in
the battle of Stonington. "Land Bill

Moral Envoy, at Batavia, N. Y
Later he sold this and published the
Rhode Islander. Associated with
him in this publication was an uncle
of Mrs. Grover Cleveland. Mr.. AL
len wrote to Mrs. Cleveland two OIL
three years ago Informing her of the
fact, and received handsome &C
acknowledgements from the beautiful
mistress of the White House. After
his experience with the Rhode Is
lander Mr.. Allen published a papeI
at Fall River, Massachusetts. Ii
