An Act of Kindness.


The following, told by contempo'
rary, is worth telling at all seasons:
A rosy-faced Irish woman with big
basket on her arms and bright shawl
over her head, stood with two children
on the east side of Fifth avenue and
Fourteenth street. 1t was afternoon
and the street was crowded with ex-
press and delivery wagons, together
with many carriages passing swiftly
up and down.
"Oh, nanny" sighed little Patsy,
''lets hurry over, or Santa Claus VIII
be gone"
well, childers, however can We
cross and not git ruined ovef?"
Come over with me-" said q gen.
tleman, as he smiled kindly upon the
trio.
On the other side the thoughtful
mother said:
Thank we, sor. 1t was good turn
We did us. The childers heerd as
Santa Claus had come in the Four
teenth street winders. and we're that
poor, the poor things can't get much
Christmas, only what they sees, sor!
And likes to give 'em all O. that l
can"
You are very welcome, madam,
am sure" and the gentleman raised
his hat.
"Off wild yer cap, Patsy, me bye,
and show the gentleman you knows
yer manners, toO."
The cap came off quickly, and little
Mary gave quaint curtesy.
God bless we, sor; l hopes the
loikes O. the fine kind man that we
air has childers of yer own a-waitin'
yer homecoming. Good day, sor."

Simple but Effective Barometer.

At the public library in Macon there
is barometer made simply of a thin
strip Of cedar and thin strip of white
pine, placed together and stuck per-
pendicularly in base rest of wood.
When it is going to rain the strips
bend down, and when it is to be dry
they stand rigidly stiff and straight.
1t is said TO indicate coming storms

"Disapproval of the action OF the Chi

been the feeling that the financial fu-

county treasurer throughout the
State has on hand, ready for dis
tribution, a large number OF print
ed blanks designed for the sole
use Of these preference right"
applicants and which they can
readily obtain by writing for or
applying In person,
The provision of the law not
generally understood is the limit
Of time fixed In the. act for the
filing Of these applications. SIX
months time from the. date of the
filing Of School land> plats, with
the various county treasurers was
allowed wherein all preference
right" claimants were to file their
applications and as these plats
were filed with the county treas
urers on or about July 18th OF
this year, the time in this
county will expire ON January
ID, 1897. The serious part Of
the matter is that il an applicant
does not apply FOR his. land, with
the state board Of land commis-
sioners, on or before said date,
+ he will lose his right to- pur-
chase his home at private sale and
be compelled to enter the market
~ the public sale and bid on the
same at public auction. This will
prove hardship, as the price Of
his land may be run up over the
appraised price and in no event
can lands be sold either at public
|; or private sale for less than the
appraised price per acre. So it
|, will readily be seen that failure TO
file his application in Gme may
| cost much more money to retain
/ his home than if he used the right
granted him by the Legislature
and placed a,written claim at the
proper Office inside the time limit.

igned to warn the occupants of

ScHooL.LAND TITLE.

Inquiry at the Office Of the State
board of land commissioners devel-
ops the fact that applications for
school lands in this State, under
what is termed the "preferehce
right" are not being fled as. rap
idly as they should when the mag
nitude Of the holdingsis considered.
This is doubtless due to the lack
of familiarity with the provisions
Of the law on the part of the-persons
who possess this valuable right.
The Enabling act design ated as
school lands sections q, 16,, 80 and
36, in every township IN the State,
and the last Legislature, recogniz-
ing the injustice which would
result in not protecting actual and
bonafide settlers on these sections
who had settled upon, occupied, or
cultivate small tracts, ignorant Of
the fact that they were school
lands, and they could not obtain
title thereto until they became the
property of the state, passed q
law which will be found, in the
laws of Utah, 1895, and designated
as chapter 80. Section 10 Of this
act grants what has been termed
preference right" to settlers or
occupants, who have improved
State lands and, were ON, January
l, 1894 actual settlers or occupants
thereon whereby these settlers
could apply for their exact hold
ings and thus be enabled To- pur
chase them from the State ut the
appraised price at private sale
without being compelled to COM
pete with any other persons who
might desire to obtain these
improved lands. The actual settler
on school land, prior to january /,
1894, has only to apply to the State
board OF land commissioners
through the county TIT asurer OF
this city for ths particular tract,
describing the same,, and he will
be granted the opportunity of pur-
chasing it at the appraised price
and on ten years time, with il tsrest
on deferred payments at S per cent
per annum, This lisa very simple

aid YOU in this move [ have in
structed brother George @ Cannon

the sale Of the Book of Mormon.
There are many reasons govern
ing the Policy Of you returning1
home, and ii is presumed that the
Book Of Mormon, the Native
Elders, and one or two now there
from here. will answer on that
mission for the present.
You are doubtless aware Of the
famous government expedition

footmen were on Hams Fork, max
ing their way by slow marches
toward Fort Hail. Their COM
handing officer had not reached

Echo Canyon and has plenty Of
men for keeping sharp look out,
and our different, settlements are
holding themselves in readiness
foT emergencies. though we do not
particularly apprehand any colli-
sion this fall or winter, anAperhaps
not for some time, though we are
not aware what course tbs future
may shape for itself, any further
than that we are confident that our
dod will order all things for the
welfare and prosperity Of his cause

waiting for us and will suffer IL we don't.

alongside the highway, land gone to
waste-grown up to bushes and covered
with stones. Now IL this land was re-
claimed by cutting the bushes and taking
away the stones each of these farms
would produce enough to nearly or quite
keep another COW. 1t would enchance the
selling value of these farms more than
double the cost of such clearing up, and
again 1t would pay more than the cost
in satisfaction of having done a good
thing for yourself and setting an example
worthy of imitation by your neighbors.
