Government Land.

The Huron land office reports
larger business for the month OF May
than for any month during The past
ten years. 1t is very likely, Judging
from appearances, that Hand coun-
ty furnished the bulk OF this bu ,inass
both in new filings and final proofs.
The government lan1 in this county
is being rapidly taken uD, and tie
old abandoned tree claims are now
being picked up and fled upon by
residents. it is to be hoped as many
people here as desire it will secure
this land, because they are entitled
to it. Men and women who have
worked here for years, who passed
through the. hardships OF pioneer
life, who helped to develop the coun
try, are entitled to 100 acres OF it,
and the Press hopes they will go NJ
ter it and get it. Asa general prop.
osition contrasting other peoples
claims is considered Objectionable,
but there are exceptions to this rule.
In early days many persons came
here for II few days only to got a
piece OF land with no intention OF
ever living here, and during the hard
times they paid no attention to the
government requirements ofcultiva-
ton, tree planting, etc. TIE Pass
believes it perfectly right for any
resident of Hand cour ty to contest
these abandoned claims OF nonresi-
dents, and make them useful, instead
of lying idle, as at present. TO
young persons who have Their home.
stead rights yet, and wish to use
them, the Press would caution them
not to waste their time contesting
a claim OF any resident, or any one
who has made an effort to comply
with the law, but ii they find any
claims filed on 5y non-residents anil
wholly abandoned, they are good
subjects for contest.

The Lazy, Stupid Shay.

1.-THE shag is the LATEST and most stu
pid form OF life to be found anywhere
on the globe. It is an aquatic fowl,
with big, clumsy looking beak and with
a form something like the dodo, now
extinct" said a western man. II have
spent much time in watching this fowl,
which is found in some OF the shallow
lakes, and the chief point Of interest
TO me was the startling stupidity dis
played. They generally squat on
stumps or logs in the lake and watch
for the smaller fish that play around
the surface Of the water. They are
fairly clever in catching what they
want, and they throw out their bill
with considerable precision when they
gig for game. But they never get to
eat what they catch until they have fed
at least one and maybe more than one
member of another kind of water fowl.
whenever n shag begins to catch
fish, a long legged, long necked water
hen will take n place Immediately be-
hind him. When the shag lands fish,
the water hen simply reaches over and
gets it. Without any show Of resent
ment and without turning around, the
shag will continue it's watch for fish,
and this is kept up until the water hen
has finished a meal, and then, If no
other enterprising member Of the same
tribe comes along, the shag is permit
ted to enjoy the product of its own
sleepy efforts.
Il have ON one occasion seen one shay
feed as many as three water hens be-
fore eating n single fish. 1t Is certain
ly a singular display Of stupidity, and
after having watched the performance
a number Of times am convinced that
the shag is actually too dull TO even
know that the water hen stands be-
hind him to steal the fish out of his
mouth. New Orleans Times-Demo-

ON THEIR SEA LEGS.
Cattle and Horses Do Not Get Fright
ened In Rough weather.

do the horses and cattle get fright
ened and make much disturbance in
rough weather." asked the writer Of
a New York dealer who ships cattle
abroad.
BLESS you, 10. They've got sea legs
that would put an old salt to shame.
Occasionally a horse will lose his bal
lance, but a bullock is the greatest bal
ANGER you ever saw. They are knowing
brutes too. You know, we put them
four in a pen. Well, you'll never find
all four standing up or lying down at
one time. They figure the thing out
and decide how they'll get the most
room and most comfort. So two of
them stand up while two lie down.
When they get tired, they shift the
watch.
THE horses like to be talked to when
there's a big sea on and things are
pretty lively. They always like GER
tain men better than others. So do
the cattle. We have one man who can
do anything with them. Every bui-
lock and horse on the boat knows him
He comes In handy when there's an
accident.
ITS mighty seldom that a serious
accident happens nowadays, but once
in awhile a horse or a bullock does
get thrown and breaks a leg or does
some bad damage. We don't carry n
veterinary. The men know as much
about ordinary cattle and horse all
ments as any vet, and if one Of the
brutes breaks his leg there's nothing
for it but to kill him. A veterinary
couldn't do anything for him.
"The company charges from So to
$50 a head for carrying cattle and
from SGT to $3.50 a head for horses.
When the government inspectors stop
ped overcrowding, they cut down the
carrying capacity of some boats 20
! head. That made pretty big hole In
the ships profits in the course Of a
| year Exchange.

Creed in fact, plays an ever-lessening
part in the life of the American people,
and conduct plays an ever-increasing
part. Their religion, whatever the the
ologians may say, is religion of conduct
which, instead of being three-fourths of
life, as Matthew Arnold measured it, has
come TO be nine-tenths @! the life of the
classes of good peoplein the United States.
But with the waning of faith and with
the increasing emphasis on conduct has
come an ever-growing federation of one an
others opinions. federation is, indeed,
the browning distinction of a non
theological era federation of any sane
opinion and even of many insane ones,
but not of conduct that denies the primary
obligations or DISCREPANCIES an orderly
social life. Impossible as it is to arouse
any interest in a discussion of infant
baptism, for instance, public opinion
wholesomely inflicts its severest punish
ment on a man who deserts his own
children, whether his creed be orthodox
or be some wretched patchwork of social
reform" and irresponsible Glove. - From
