Thoughts by the Wayside,

1t must be gratifying in the ex.
IRENE to a speaker to have for his
audience people of marked intel.
leCtuality so he may not have to
explain every metaphor or figure
of speech he may make use of,
for to the receptive mind such ex.
plantations robs them of their
charm and beauty. But no pub
lie speaker may hope to find a
responsive chord from the mind
of every hearer, for ofttimes his
rich gems of thought are as pearls
cast before swine, yet he may al.
ways find enough appreciative
listeners to stimulate him to
grander efforts.
Notwithstanding the fact that
woman has never been considered
the equal of man-yet there is one
fact alone, if all other things in
her favor were blotted out, which
stamps her almost divine, and that
is-a woman was Tie mother of
Jesus, while God, not man was
his father.
When Il man marries for beau
ty. he should marry the kind
that never fades, lest when the
beauty passes away the the idol
will also have fallen. Beauty of
the soul is the only type that
will successfully Withstand the
ravages of time, and it will only
grow more ravishing, more en-
thralling unto the perfect day.

Homestead Law is to be Strictly
Construed.

An effort is about to be made by the
commissioner of the general land Office
to reform some of the abuses which have
crept into the system of acquiring home
steads upon the public lands of the
United States. From communications
recently received by the officers of the
district land Office it appears that radical
changes have been made IN the existing
homestead laws, which have been notori-
ously lax in their operation and have
opened wide door to fraud, by which
only bona fide sttlers upon the public
do main will be able to obtain title to
land after specified period of actual
and continuous residence upon the
same.
Hereafter it will be necessary to show
in addition to the usual facts, the length
OF time the alleged occupant has been
absent from the land which he claims as
a homestead; further, that he has com
, piled With the homestead laws in every
particular as to actual residence and
cultivation of the land for a period of
five years.
! Occasional visits to the land do lot
constitute residence, within the meaning
OF the law, but the party must be able
to show that he lived upon it with his
family and has occupied it as his home.
In Communication proofsthe party must
also be able to show actual settlement,
improvement and cultivation of the land
for six months previous to making proof
otherwise his application is liable to be
| turned down.

now the burning question is Glow can
we reach him to get permit" Is it
not true that we benefited our neigh
bor5 eleven years ago by carefully
spreading fire in the mountains, SO that
the branches would be burned and the
timber seasoned on the stump ready for
the axe of all who were willing to take
what we left? Have we not sold timber
cheap enough, and have we not always
been generously Indifferent as to the
amount of water mixed up with the
alcohol we took in exchange? Have we
not offered up sacrifices to the god of
hunger, sparing not the calves of our
best friends that he might be appeased?
All this have we done, and our reward!
The Rounder is sorrowful, but we are a
great people and another graft will bob

(CONTRIBUTED.)

Full forty years have sunk into the
grave of time since the dread alarm of
civil war first rang throughout our land.
The American spirit Of patriotism thrills
with pride, when we read that page Of
history which records the story of that
mighty conflict that almost rent asun-
der the foundation of this great govern
ment, in those dark days from 1861 to
1865; and the pulsing gratitude of these
passing generations to the brave men,
who fought and died for their country's
liberties, will continue through all the
coming years.
Few, we meet in the busy walks Of life
today, who carry memories OF those dire
full years, but around ,the glowing fire.

sit happy mothers who tell of the great
war as troublous events of their child
hood. Swiftly do the members of that
mighty drama fall from the columns of
living men, year by year these grand
defenders of the nation are passing
away. Silently the moments freighted
with death are bearing them to "Fame'e
eternal campi ng ground"
The eternal skies never looked down
on braver men and bloodier fields, than
when the men in blue and the boys in
gray stood face to face. Today the par

Mcpherson. They went to the Fifth

for a few days.
Prof. Frye has only been married about
two weeks. The marriage was performed
IN Cardenas, the home of the brides fa-

his place In Cuba, and his wedding trip
is his home coming.
There Is much mystery In Prof Frye's
resignation. He has been in charge of
school affairs in Cuba for the past year,
having been appointed 10 the place by
Major General Brooke.
After Gov. Gen. Wood took charge OF
the island he retained Prof. Frye as head
OF the schools. OF late, however. there
is known to have been friction between
the professor and the army officers. and

friction Is not denied.
