TO sLIBDUE AaIDILr.4.. (.

\ beginning of the solution of the
cur through a bill introduced the 9th
er day by Congressman Francis q.
.Newlanas, of Nevada. TIE bill pro
Y ides that all money received fro
sale of public lands in the arid and
semi-arid States and Territories shall
be paid into fund to be known as
the "arid land reclamation fund" The
Geological Survey is instructed to con-
tinue its Investigations and surveys
and to make reports to the Secretary
of the sInterior who then may with
draw from entry reservoir sites and
the adjacent land to be irrigated. Up
on the do termination by the Secretary
of the Interior of the practicability of
any certain project of reclamation, he
may let contracts for it's construction
tc be paid for out of the arid land
reclamation fund.
Then, upon the completion of each
irrigation project. the total cost there
of shall be divided Tpro rata per acre
of the lands to be irrigated, and that
amount made a .charge against the
land. The lands will then be subject
t o homestead entry, limited to eighty
cres each, the entryman making pay
M ent to the Government of the cost of
the water-r right.
The bill further provides that the
right to the use of the water shall be
perpetually appurtenant to the land
irrigated, and that beneficial use shall
be the basis, the measure and the lin
it of the right.
In case there shall be enough water
for additional private lands the bill
provides that the right to use such
water may be sold under the same
conditions as though going with Gov
ernment land. The proceeds of all
these sales are to be paid into the arid
land reclamation fund
The provisions of this bill seem
quite simple, and some hope is en-
pressed of securing it's consideration
ti1is session. They would work in
practice something after this manner.
The Geological Survey would recon-
mend the withdrawal of a certain res
ervoir site, and. say 10000 acres of
land which could he irrigated by this
reservoir. Suppose the irrigation
works cost 100000. This would make
the water-right cost 500 per acre. Up
on the completion of the works, the
land would be thrown open to entry in
small tracts, under the homestead law
except that each acre would be taxed
with the cost of the irrigation con.
strnction, j. e. $40. This. according to
the bill, could be paid for in ten an.
nual installments. AS fast as paid in
t would be applied to the original
fund, for use in the construction OF
additional reservoirs
Since the amount received by the
Government from the sale of public
lands is several million dollars annu
ally. and as the money once available
could be used over and over again
considerable progress in moderate
way could be made i'll the reclamation
Of the arid lands.

ME, however, is how I'm goin to act
arter git there. You know how COM
pany allus illustrates me. If three or
four of the neighbors come in, I'm al
most sure to fall off my cheer or knock
over sunthin. How's it goin to be when
git up there and meet hull pasture
full of angels? There'll be millions of
'em, Samuel, and they'll all be lookin ut
me and wonderin who am, and I'll be
so upset that I'll fall over my own
feet"
She paused to wipe the tears from
her eyes with the palm of her hand,
but as she had asked no direct ques-
tions Mr.. Gallup finished the bug arti-
Gle and turned to one on the care of
clotheslines.
II don't want to be looked at and
p'inted out and made fun of up there"
said Mrs. Gallup as she sat with her
eyes on the carpet. ".All night long last
night couldn't sleep for thinkin that
some of the angels would turn up their
noses Mt me and want to know what ON
airth ] was doin there. You remember
Sarah Jane Bixby, who died two years
ago? Sarah was snippy and sassy. If
she went to heaven. it would be jest
her way to want to know why I'd come
tlyin up there. with my rheumatic and
back aches. I'd have to sass her back,
and then what would happen? Angels
do sass each other sometimes. don't
they, Samuel?"
If Mr. Gallup had ever given the mat
ter n thought, he was too busy to dis
cuss it. The statement was right be-
fore his eyes that. 100000 miles of
clothesline went to destruction every
year for want of being hung up in the
wood shed when not in use. and he was
rejecting on the carelessness of hu-
manity in general.
II may git up to heaven in the night.
when all the angels are asleep. and so
I'll slip in all right. hope that'll be
the way, because it'll give me chance
to kind O. git used to the place before
daylight. Do you think they have any
breakfast up there? Mrs..Watkins says
they don't, but don't really see how
they git along without it. know /

breakfast. And want you to look at
me, Samuel. and see If Pm the hum
blyest woman ever born. l have read
that when we die we are changed as in
the twinklin of an eye. hope it's so.
IL it amt, then can't expect no good
times up there. Them angels will be
p'intin out my lop shoulder, my big
feet and my wabbly knees and whis-
perrin to each other that I'd better staid
down on airth among the cabbages.
Nobody as knows me can call me obsti.
nate or sot. but I'll be summed if !
propose to die and become an angel to
be made fun of. You'll be on my side
about that. won't you?"
Mr.. Gallup heaved long sigh and
seemed about to speak. but no word
came. He had finished with the clothes
line and struck an article about the
reasoning powers of the crow. and the
most direct question from Mrs. Gallup
would have passed unheeded. Her
tears fell for two or three minutes, and
then she asked:

When Harry Houdini, the American
king of handouts. arrived in England.
he tried to arrange for an exhibit Of
his skill at Scotland Yard, but the
authorities refused to allow him an
opportunity of putting ON or taking off
official handouts. says London NJ. a.
p. So. accompanied by u skeptical
London manager, he paid an ordinary
call as an American visitor to the
police headquarters. Mr.. Houdini.
after making the usual remarks on
everything he saw and heard. casually
asked a question about pair of hand
cuffs. The guide took them down and
answered.:
"Oh. these are handouts impossible
to remove"
Houdini was greatly Interested. and
the incident closed by the American
visitor requesting his guide to lock the
handouts on his wrists. Then he
turned his back and succeeded in get
ting them off in a couple of minutes.
One of Houdini's strangest adven-
lures happened at big hotel in ST.
Paul. Mimi. where he was very well
known. To his surprise. he found that
a couple of men occupying the rooms
on either side of his own appeared to
be mounting guard over him. AT first
lie only suspected this. but after Il few
days he was perfectly sure that one
or the other Of his neighbors shadowed
his every movement. One afternoon,
when Houdini was sitting in his own
room. he heard the sound of scuffiing
outside the door. Flinging it open, he
discovered his two unknown friends
grasping q third man, who had evil
IDENTIFY been wearing long dark cape
that was dragged on one side, showing
that he was heavily handcuffed.
"We're a couple of detectives, Mr..
Houdini," painted one Of the men.
''This fellow made his escape from jail
some days ago. We knew that he
wouldn't dare TO go to a locksmith to
get his handouts removed. and we
suspected that he might come to you"

A Missouri Convict Pardoned for Telling
the Truth.
Gov. Bob: Stewart, Bourbon and
Democrat, was the, most picturesque
character who ever occupied the exec
utive mansion in Missouri. He de-
feated Major James S. Robins for
governor in 1857. The governor was
from St. Joseph and many are the
stories told of this eccentric. and er-
ratio westerner. The following Incl
dent illustrates Gov. Stewards keen
noted throughout Missouri. It was
sense of humor for which he was
the custom of the governor toauestion
the convicts in the penitentiary as to
why they were imprisoned. The in
variable answer was an avowal of in
nocence and of wrongful conviction.
Finally, in hisarounds he encountered
one prisoner, who said he was i'm
prisoned for horse stealing. ARE you
guilty?" asked the governor. 'Well
governor, I guess I am; L. took the
horses" rejoinsd the man in. stripes,
