Wasn't Onto His Jon.

In disposing of the school land leases by
auction the commissioner of public lands
and buildings has found one singular case,
which illustrates how unluCky some men
can be and at the same time shows the
great value of farms in some parts of the
state. A man down in Nemaha County
leased forty acres of school land in 1873,
paying an annua rental of Sl6. He kept
up his payments until 1895, when ne con-
cluded that it would be cheaper for him to-
allow the lease to become delinquent. and
then when it was put up for a new tenant
take it again himself. There was about
$40 back on the land and Il few days ago
the lease was put UP at auction. The man
got the land again but he was compelled to
pay a bonus of $500, so sharp was the bid
ding. A month ago he could have held
the forty acres by paying up the $40.
