Irregularities In Land Divisions Due %
tho Manner of Measurement

Irregularities In Land Divisions Due "a
the Manner OF Measurement
1t is commonly accepted theory
that man steps three feet, and many
q tract of land has been stepped OFF,
instead of measured with chain. In
the west they obviate the difficulties
of surveys by the land being divided
into sections, but in Pennsylvania
much of the property, especially in the
mountains, must still be described by
metes and bounds. In one of the couI-
ties in western Pennsylvania, says the
Washington Star, are two brothers,
one of whom is tall and lank, the other
short and fat. Many years ago they
purchased tract of mountain land
calling for mile square. They divided
the labor of measuring it, one stepping
off one side, the other the other side.
Then they fenced 1t in and were per-
fectly satisfied until recently when suit
was brought to recover considerable
tract of the land. Each brother swore
that they knew the measurement to be
right, and told how ii had been done.
Then, as the spectators saw the short
legs of the one, scarcely long enough to
reach the floor when ,he sat in chair,
and the elongated extremities of the
other, there was n general laugh, in
which the judge and attorney joined.
Upon surveying, il was found that one
line was mile and half long, and the
other only a little over half mile.

The Indians begin to appreciate the
advantages of civilization and educa-
ton. They are anxious to have their
daughters attend school and become
educated. They bring more money and
the Indian parent is thrifty. The par
entail eagerness of the red man for the
education of his daughter has become
such a passion that the government
has taken steps to prevent Indian par
ents from trading off their daughters.
If the daughters are returned students
from some of the Indian schools they
bring better price, for they know how
to do better work. Little Roadway has
been made, however, against the prac-
tice, for only last week Polly Clement,
daughter of Little Crow of the Santee

Several days ago one of the society
ladies of Columbus, Ind, was taken
with a severe sore throat and her suf-
ferings were such that her friends be-
came very much alarmed over her con-
dition. She was engaged to a young
maj. and he was hurr ed,y sent for.
When he arrived he kissed her sew
eral times. The disease developed into
diphtheria of a malignant type, and
since then the young man has been
attacked by the same disease. Now
the state board OF health is talking
about prohibiting kissing. The serene
old gent who is it's secretary says:
although a most dangerous past.me.
there seems to be an inherent tendency
to indulge in it, and we have little hope
of ever being able to do away with il.

ant. All that would be necessary would
be to rinse the teeth well with it and
rub it we'll on the lips. That would
insure devotees against the danger.

attempts to enforce a law requiring
the participants to scrub mouths after

to get a new secretary.
