The Homestead Law.

If you want to get free farm from
the United States public lands, the first
thing to do will be to find out just where
you want to go. Take not the word Of
any honey tongued railroad agent or
agent of any kind, but find out for your
self by inquiries which will suggest
themselves to you. Having decided
where you will go-to the Cherokee Out
let perhaps-ne1t get copy of the Unit
ed States homestead acts and study them
carefully. Take the word Of no inter-
ested person in this respect either. It is
to be supposed of course that any one
who has intelligence to settle in a coun-
try as pioneer has intelligence enough
to understand the homestead law when
he reads and studies it.
Any citizen or expectant citizen of the
United States who is 81 years old and
over may acquire homestead-any per-
son except married woman, that is.
In respect to getting homestead, a wife
is not person in the eyes Of the law.
Having chosen your farm, go to it and
begin work. You may claim as home
stead 100 acres of the public lands, pro-
vided you do not already own that
amount somewhere else. IF so, you
must get rid of enough to bring it below
100 acres before you can lay claim to a
homestead. ..-. =
You must honestly begin to cultivate
the soil Of your 100 acres and proceed to
show that you intend it bona fde for
your home. It is the surest way to set
tie down upon your farm and stick to it.
Within three months Of the time you
have made settlement you must go to
the nearest land Office and file your
claim, paying the land entry fee Of $5,
| $40 or $14, according to the amount Of
land you have entered. You must also
record your affidavit that you intend tc
make that farm your home. Five years
residence upon and cultivation of the
land will make it yours permanently, ant
the government viii give you patent
for it. If the husband and father dies
the widow and children may continue
upon the land and o5saiE the title at the
end of five years.
While actual residence upon the claim
is desirable it is not absolutely neces
sary. The homesteader may meantime
live elsewhere, making trips to his home
stead to cultivate it. But he must no
be absent from it as long as six month
at time or he will be in danger of losing
1t. Finally the new homestead canno
be attached for any back debts contract
4 ed before it was settled.

Ever Head the Constitution?'T

I OK
The editor Of Harper's Magazine sug-
gests mildly that instead Of so many at
tempts at amending the United States
constitution an effort be made to amend
the general intelligence in regard to that
constitution. The hint is good one. It
has been proposed as a requirement. for
naturalization that the applicant be able
to read the United States constitution
and show that he understands its provi-
sions. Did it ever occur to the reform
ers to apply the same test to native born
citizens who in some cases have been
voting 40 years or more?
In fact, if put upon the witness stand
under oath to tell the truth in fear of
death, how many Of even intelligent peo-
pie, men and women, would be forced
to confess they had never read the con
stitution of their own country, that ad-
mirable document which Professor Gold
win Smith recently held up to the whole
British nation, as showing how much
superior our government was to theirs?
The average American citizen ought
at least to read that precious document
twice year. Glasses should be formed
for it's study, if not now, then next win
ter. The confounding not to say con-
founded commentaries that have been
| written on it are not needed. It is not
hard to understand in it's splendid sim
plicity, with the added light of Ameri-
can common sense. The instrument
alone, with the history Of its adoption,
will be the true basis of work and study.
Teachers should first acquaint themselves
with both, then teach the same care
fully to their pupils. This would save
many fool ideas in regard to legislation.

Paddy's Piano.

We regret to learn that the hair Of the
ages will probably not appear to delight
visitors at the Worlds fair. PaderewsH,
the pianist-Paderewski, the adorable
before whom women go down as grass
before prairie fire, at whose feet One
frenzied feminine indeed did throw her
self bodily in public concert room =
Paddy of the flowing red name may not
be able to play at the Worlds fair. a.
The reason is that there has been music
in the air among piano makers-music
far different, alas! from that which drips
from PaderewsH's paws. Some New
York piano men secured valuable space
at the Chicago exposition, then at the
last moment backed down and declared
they would make no exhibition at all.
New York loves Chicago, and Chicago
adores New York, as all the world
knows, and the queer conduct of the pi-
ano men increased on both sides that af-
lection, such as it is.
The directors of the fair decided that
the seeding piano men should not be al
lowed to use any pianos Of their make at
the entertainments during the exposi-
ton. This threw out the only piano
which the PaderewsH ever uses; there
fore it threw out Pad himself, with all
his hair. New York is sat upon, Chica-
go is satisfied, but womankind is sad.
Doubtless Pad is mad enough to cut his

Mrs. Frances E. Russell is one of the
leaders in the present agitation$or the
wearing of short dresses by women. She
presents the strongest argument yet ad-
vanced for the short dress in the follow
ing two sentences, which she quotes from
Frances M. Steele. It refers to a class Of
gymnasium girls: ''The grace Of the feet
and legs below gymnastic dresses that
fell a, little lower than the knees was
delight and something to be desired for
all womankind. These girls were to me
like draped souls, SO utterly unconscious
were they Of arms or legs" Once wom-
en- are persuaded that they will be beau
tiful and graceful in short dresses, the
work which doctors, scientists, saints
and reformers have striven in vain to &C
complish will be done.
