Sale sf State Lands.

l. c. Paddock, register OF the state
board Of land commissioners, conducted
an important sale OF state lands at Rocky
Ford last Saturday. The lands COM
prised 800 acres near Fowler. The bid
ding on many tracts was spirited.
W. E. Anderson purchased all except
three tracts sold 70 L. r. Feulason and
J. N. Beatty. The prices ranged from %
to S2S per acre without water right.
Mr.. Anderson obtained the bulk Of the
land by reason Of owning stock in the
Oxford Farmers Ditch under which tho
lands are located. The prices he asked
for water rights were such as 10 make il
impracticable for others TO out bid him.
there being NO other winter right owners
under this excellent ditch who had any
stock to sell. Some months since there
Was litigation between Mr.. Anderson aud
W. e. Alexander Of Denver. bnt their
claims were harmouixetl before the sale.
The forty acres bought by Fenlasoi,
sold for 425 per acre-3lO above the ap.
praisement. The eighty acres bonght by
]. N. Beatty brought the appraised valu-
alton, o15 per acre.
A few tracts were offered In ten.scre
pieces, but Mr.. Auderson's lump bid for
the whole tract WAS in each case the bet
ter bid for the state. The sales aggre-
gated about ZIG 100.

IN MEMORIAM

Died, in Meridian. Miss, October 22, 1898. Dr. w. c. Foster, in the 37th year of his age.
 In the sad death of our young friend we see broken column; a young oak of the forest in all its lusty vigor, bl&sted by a sudden storm; a book of life, with more than half Its leaves uncut With marked ability in his chosen career, the future held rich promise possessed of exceptional charm of manner and strong personal mag netism, he will not soon be forgotten by those who knew him as friend or physi- cian That he whose lifes duty was to ease the pain of others should have fall- en victim to one of the few diseases that still baff1es medical science seems indeed a sarcasm of destiny; but the Great Physi- elan knows best, and His loving touch will bind up the wounds of the broken-h hearted young wife and make her feel that 1.-The Healer is there pouring balm on her
 head,
 And wiping the tears from her eyes; He but strengthens the chain He has bro-
 ken in twain.
 And fastens 1t firm to the skies There whispers voice
 Iris the voice of her God T love thee, love thee;
 Pass under the rodv" {"

WOMAN AND SOCIETY. ANNIE KENDRIcK WALKER.

She does so on their arrival and on their departure, and again at any subsequent meeting, if she happens to recollect them, which is not always certain to be the case.
 As regards dinner guests. when a gentle man is introduced to a lady for the pur- pose of taking her in to dinner, she does not shake hands with him, but merely bows, and however well they may have got on together during dinner she does not shake hands with him later on in the even- ing, when taking her departure Indeed, the opportunity seldom occurs for even bow ing to him. At a second meeting bows only are interchanged, and it very much depends upon circumstances whether the acquaintance ripens into a shaking hands one or ceases altogether.
 Very little handshaking occurs between guests staying at a country house; they do not do so on first introduction by their host ess, neither when separating on the first evening when Good night is said, nor on coming down to breakfast They shake hands with their hostess each morning and evening" occasionally with their host in the morning and generally in the evening, and if they become interested in each other and are inclined to be friendly, they shake hands when the before mentioned good nights" are said.

Major Frank p. 0'Brien
 Author of My Old Pisn1"

Strangely tender incidents sometimes happen even in newspaper row. Little things that make one lay aside ones pencil for moment and acknowledge again now small the world is after all.
 The Age-Herald readers will recall the poem published last Sunday entitled, My Old Piano. over the signature of Berion. There were many who were familiar with the name and who recalled other charming poems from the writer in days that are past The nome-de-plume is that of Major Frank P. OBrien. Several years ago the little poem referred to was written by him and published over his real name In dramatic paper. Last week he revised the poem and it was published in the revised form in The Age-Herald. The social columns of The Age-Herald is in receipt or the following note:
 "Berion (whoever she or he may bel has perpetrated a fraud on you by claiming My Old Piano" as original. l have that sweet, heart-touching poem in my scrap book cut from a dramatic paper seven years ago while playing at the Third Avenue theater The poem in my scrap book was written and is signed F. F. O'Brien.' Berion has mutilated the original by changing some of the lines and re- ducing the number of stanzas; the copy Tn my book has five stanzas. hope you Will pardon my seeming officiousness. My req son for writing is to protect you from De- ing imposed on. Yours,
 "A STROLLING PLAY ACTOR"
 Montgomery, October A.
 This is a tribute that alone tells how the poem was treasured and how jealousiy, .s<xk wa Quarde1
 Seven years ago the writer, touched py its sweet message, has treasured 1t through the passing of the years. holding It as something too sacred for appropriation py another All unconscious of the fact that Berion and F. P. O'Brien are synonomous' the writer but emphasized the sweet power of the poem through the years that are gone.
