ceived my first gratuitous lesson in

which may never be worth what paid

Evelyn laughed long and heartily.

ever met" she declared. What funny
experiences you do have. And did your
Italian master forsake you?'
Ronald laughed drily.
after he had got his organ out of
the barn, he began to play it in the main
road, and it wasn't twenty minutes
till every negro, young and old, for
mile around was dropping his money
into the monkeys cap. The trouble is
the farmers in the neighborhood
blamed me with the commotion and
called me greater crank than ever"
There was sound of some one
coming through the woods, and David
Fanshaw, barefooted and coatless,
emerged carrying gun and q, bag of
game. Seeing them together he stared
in establishment, and shifting his gun
awkwardly from one hand to the other
he blurted out: II didn't know any

admonished. "There is party fishing
little way down the stream" ne
Without saying more the great ILL
clothed fellow shouldered his gun and
plunged again into the wood; this time
headed for the main road.
ut is my brother David" explained
Ronald to Evelyn.
Il thought he was," she said, look
ing down, "but I,don't think he is at
all like you," and then it seemed to
strike her that the comparison was too
great a reflection on David to be quite
polite, for she Redeemed.
mo, we are decidedly unlike" he
came to her relief. SIN fact, people
are constantly remarking that am un-
like my whole family"
IL think you are very unlike them
ALL" agreed Evelyn-"au that I have
happened to see."
There the conversation paused. A
merry laugh came from the fishing trio
and then there was low muttering
of voices, in which Evelyn's name was
spoken by her sister.
II think they are wondering what
has become Of me-" said the girl. I'D
better join them"
He held the vines which hung over
the path out of her way, and when
she had gone he went back to his fish
ing; but he found himself casting an
undated hook into the water and hold
ing his rod in tense, quivering hands.
How much he had lived in those few
moments! He took deep breath. my
God" he said, II don't know what has
come over me! Am 1 mad? Am I
fool enough to think-to HOPPE"
He checked himself, and opened the
law book he had brought with him. But
though his eyes rested on the page for
twenty minutes, heread not word. The
sun went down slowly; he saw its light
on the brown side of distant cliff
creeping upward; he heard the dis
tant crack of his brothers gun, and,
picking up his things, he started home

aid made no comment on what his
brother was saying. The fire Of his
angry heart still burned in his eyes and
his chin was quivering helplessly. That
night he sat only for moment at the
supper table, and then, unnoticed by
the others, he went up to his little room
under the sloping roof and lighted his
lamp. Four or five new magazines lay
unopened on his table, but he did not
look at them.
About ten o'clock, when the house
was still, Dave crept up the rickety
stairs softly, so as not to disturb his
father, who was light sleeper, and
was about to turn into his own room
when he bethought himself Of Ronald,
whose door was slightly ajar.

ing into the lighted room, and finding
his brother up, ''shorely, you hain't

Ronald avoided his glance.
II got it in your room just now"
Dave stood perfectly still for mo
ment, q great look of wonder on hi,

of his brothers bed. He had washed
his feet at the tub in the yard and they
were wet, still only half cleaned and
red-looling.

Ronald looked him directly In the

FATAL COLORS.

1t has been proven that soldiers are
hit during battle according to the color
of their dress, in the following order
red is the most fatal. Austrian gray
is the least fatal. The proportions are
red twelve, rife green seven, brown
six, Austrian. bluish-gray. five. There
is one other color, not mentioned
more fatal and that is the pallor of
weakness. If it has commenced to
paint its deadly hue upon your cheek,
and the stomach weakens and life
not worth living, go to the drug
glst and obtain a bottle of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t will give you life
and energy. It does this by making the
strong and the blood pure. It
is ~unequalled for such disorders as in
digestion, dyspepsia, or malaria, fever
and ague.

1t Took Two Men With a Stout Rope to
Get Them Started.
II knew a missionary party in the
west who had a paid OF broncos, n
OF which could only be started in n
way: the other, of course, was In en-
tire sympathy with and regulated his
movements by his companion" writes
Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. Two disinter-
ested people who were not going with
the party would pass the blight Of a
stout rope around the hind fetlocks Of
the recalcitrant animal. and each take
an end and saw away until you could
almost smell the burning hair, when.
without one word of warning, the
beasts would bolt, and from that time
would go all day c%heerfully at the live
Hest kind of a trot, provided they IN
not halted for anything. II they were
stopped the same process would have
Ito be .sone-ovsr with again. Moral
suasion was absolutely and entirely
lost on those broncos. yet you could
not help liking them; they we're 30
mean they we're actually charming"

THE ONLY EVARTS.
Some of the Best Stories of this Famous
Wit, Told by Former Senator
Ingalls,.

Among the guests at a dinner to
Daniel Webster in New York was Dr..
Benjamin Brandreth, the inventor of
a celebrated pill known by his name.
Mr.. Evarts united these two great men
in a volunteer toast to Daniel Webster
and Benjamin Brandreth: the pillars of
the constitution"
Objections had been filed with the
judiciary committee to the confirmation
of a nomination on account of the dis
solute habits of the appointee.
When the case came up for consider
alton the chairman called for the aft
davits. The clerk produced a number
from the files. Consulting his docket,
Mr.. Edmunds thought there were more,
and others were found. A search dis
closed another batch that had peel ov-
erlooked.
The papers in this case" said Mr..
Evarts, appear to be more dissipated,
If possible, than the candidate"
To a lady who expressed surprise
that n Of such slender frame and
fragile physique could endure so many
feasts with their varying vivands and
different wines. he replied that it was
not SO much the different wines tnax
gave him trouble as the Indifferent
ones. Isl,
President Hayes was a total abstain
er-at home. Scoffers said he only
drank the 20. P. brands" His state
dinners, otherwise very elegant and
costly, were served without wines. The
only concession to conviviality was the
Roman punch, favored with Jamaica
rum. Evarts was accustomed to allude
to this course as the l~ife-saving sta
toni"
Rising to address informally the
guests at a Thanksgiving dinner, he
began: you have been giving your
attention to a turkey stuffed with sage.
You are now about to consider a sage
stuffed with turkey. J. ingalls, in
The Saturday Evening Post.

claims were not assignable, and that
purchasers thereof secured no right or
title thereto.
The rulings of the land department
as to what we're desert lands within the
meaning of the act of March 3, 1877,
were not uniform. By said circular of
March u, 1877, the proof upon this
point was to be made to the satisfaction
of the registers and receivers, and the
proof accompanying many declaratory
statements Vas accepted as satisfac-
tory by these officers and the filing al
lowed by them upon the first payment
being made, and afterwards the claim
Cancelled because the land filed upon
produced a samll but natural growth of
trees upon some minor portion thereof,
and this even though the grass or trees
were of no appreciable value. .
The department ruling permitted a
small amount of non-irrigable land to
be included in a desert claim where the
NOpSS oBhg u Lax NOuLNA was BULL
that the land susceptible of irrigation
could not be taken, including some
which was non-irrigable, but the appli-
cation of this rule varied widely from
time to time. and the presence of the
same amount OF non-irrigable and was
held permissible in some instances and
not permissible in others, the claims
being Cancelled in the latter.
The rulings with respect TO COM
pactness of the land included in a claim
were shifting and contradictory.
I" Claims which were in full con-
formity with the rules existing when
the claims were initiated were subse-
quently cancelled because not in con-
formity with later and changed rulings.
in many localities in the arid states
there was an abundance of land with
good soil but scarcity of water, and in
the effort, under this statute, to reclaim
and make productive and valuable
lands which otherwise were altogether
u~nproductive and without value, more
lane IA filed upon than could be re-
cllimed and irrigated with the avail
able water supply. The result was that
those who originally held or who after
wards obtained the prior water rights
were able to perfect their desert claims
and others wer unable to perfect
theirs. In some instances the project
for conducting water to the lands from
remote places proved more difficult and
expensive than at first contemplated
and had to be abandoned. In given To-
calities, the presence Of alkali or of
too much sand in the soil prevented
successful reclamation and cultivation,
ne~cessitating abandonment of the
claim.
In all these cases, however, the
claimant was required to make, and
did make. the first payment, ordinari-
ly 25 cents per acre, but within the pri-
mary limits Of a railroad land grant SO
cents per acre; and in those cases
where the claim was subsequently can
oeled under the ruling or circumstances
referred to. the government still retains
the lands and also the first payment
thereon.

and conflicting rules of the land de-
partment is not intended as a reelection
