1T MAY BE A NATIONAL PARK.
Senate Passes Gamble bill Affecting Set
tiers on Forest Reserve.

Senate Passes Gamble bill Affecting Set
I tiers on Forest Reserve.
Some time ago the secretary of the in.
terror made temporary reservation
from sale of section OF land two by
three miles, embracing the famous Wind
cave, about nine miles from Hot Springs,
s. D., believed to be the largest cave in
the world. The reservation was made at
the instance Of Representative Martin,
with view to the establishment of a
national park. The section adjoins the
Black Hills forest reserve, and the COM
missioner of the general land Office set
aside $500 for underground surveys.
The department is now waiting for re-
port, bat it has been agreed that Repre-
sentative Martin will make application
to the secretary and president to attach
the cave and it's environs to the Black
Hills forest reserve, and place the same
under the care of the supervisor. Later
it is proposed to ask congress to set it
apart as national park and stock it
with deer, buffalo and other game. Com.
missioner Hermann approves the plan,
and will cooperate with Mr.. Martin to
attach it to the forest reserve. He is
pushing the survey, which when accom-
plishsd will determine the future plans
in reference to national park.
FOR RELIEF OF CLAIMANTS.
The senate has passed the Gamble bill
which provides that where a claimant
under the settlement laws Of the United
States within the limits OF forest re-
serve created under the provisions of
section "a Of the act Of March 8, 1891, en-
titled "An act to repeal timber culture
laws and for other purposes" has failed
by reason of ignorance Of the proclania.
ton of the president, or of the filing of
the township plat survey, or from un-
avoidable accident to place his claim of
record within the statutory period, such
claimant may be permitted to file his
claim in the proper United States land
office and receive patent therefor upon
showing due compliance with the law
under which the claim is asserted, not
withstanding the reservation, provided,
that he made bona fide settlement up
on the land prior to the date ofthe proc
lamation establishing the forest reserve
and maintained continuous residence
thereon for the requisite period.

Chinese Honesty.

As to the honesty of these people,
I appeal to every English merchant or
banker, from Picking to Hongkong, to
answer if he ever heard of a dishonest
Chinese merchant or banker. So far
from that, not only has every Eng
lish bank two Cinnamon to receive and
hand out money, but every bank in
Japan has the same, says Joachim
Miller in the North American Review
The English will tell you, half in jest,
that the Japanese is an oriental
Yankee, and does not trust his own
people; and they will tell you, half in
earnest, that the English bankers en-
ploy Chinese to handle their money
because they never make mistakes.
These people of China have never had
anything like a bankrupt law. If a
man cannot pay his debts, or some one
does not secretly come forward and
pay them, at the end of each year, he
has "lost his face and so dies by
his own hand. Yet, with all their pite-
Gus poverty. they have no such words
az hard times" for everything must
be settled up at the end of the year.
There can be no extension of time.

THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN LOVE
WITH WESTERN CANADA.

They Say the Land There IL tho Finest
ON Earth.
A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency of
Mr. J. s. Crawford, the Canadian gov
eminent representative at Kansas
City, to visit western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes
from Didsbury. Alberta. as follows:
Il met three delegates from Kansas
yesterday at Didsbury. and took them
home with me and took them out in
the afternoon and showed them some
of the finest land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night; this morn
ing 1 took them to Didsbury. and
they went on north. When they come
back they are coming to my place and
l am going to help them to run some
lines and they are going to locate in
sight of my house. There have been
over 1,200 acres of land changed hands
here in our neighborhood this spring
When l located here last fall ] was
the furthest back of any of the set
tiers; to-day l am in the center of the
settlement We have thirty-six chill
dren that are of school age in our dis
trict, and We will have our school dis
trict organized next month, when we
will proceed to build our schoolhouse
The longer we stay here the better we
like the country; that is the way with
everybody here. they all seem to be
satisfied and doing we'll have
talked with a great many men here
and they told me that they had less
than $50 when they got here. and to-
day they have got 16O acres of good
land and five or six hundred dollars
worth of stock. Crops are looking
fine here l think this will be a good
winter wheat country. One of my
neighbors has a small piece aud it
looks fine"

About one woman in three cannot

after being worn by any woman. Jew
elers of the first class guarantee to re-

the annual cost of the replacement is
stupendous- One jewel house has tried

revivals. They have no deterrent
effect. If the iphuman wretch who
killed the president were handed over
to Apaches to be tormented to death,
1T would only cause reaction of sympa-

Magazine. The abominable cruelties
practiced on Anthony Darlington and
his accompfices disguised even the far

And no one was frightened; men went
on planning assassinations as before.
The roasting alive of negroes accused
of certain offenses has no deterrent eff

exquisite sufferings has not a deter

LITTLE CRlPPLE's LEARNING.
Hospital Year Proftably Spent in Con

Hospital Year Proftably Spent in Com
quering Five Languages.
In all Fordham it is said there is no
brighter boy than Vincent Conway. By
some he is looked upon as prodigy,
whose talents ever might have re-
manned dormant had it not been for an
accident that will make the little fell
low cripple for life.
1t was late in the summer of 1900
that Vincent Conway, while at play
about his home. pulled heavy box
over onto himself and fractured both
of his legs. He was taken to Ford
ham hospital, where complications
came one after the other until the
year was taken up. He is now recov-
ering.
At the time of his accident he could
barely recite his letters. In the hos
pital he has put in his time studying,
care being taken to direct his mind in
right paths. He seems to understand
figures by intuition. Sums do
themselves without effort on his part.
He can now add, subtract, multiply
and divide, and in fact is as far adj
vanced in arithmetic as most child
ZEN of ten years
With reading it is the same way
Many nationalities are represented
among the nurses in the hos
pital, and all have taken part
in advancing Vincent's education. The
result is that he can carry on sim
pie conversation in French or Italian.
From one of the patients he has pick
ed up a smattering of Latin, enough
at least to permit him to recite his
Hail Marys'' in the language of the
church-New York Herald.

Beauty Help. to Success.

From Farmers Review: Just how
much the element of beauty enters into
the problem of successful poultry rails
ing it is hard to determine. Opinions
differ immensely as to what is beauty.
The fancier that raises fowls only for
show purposes considers only the beau
ty side of the question. The true fan
cier puts utility first and beauty sec
ond. But a utility fowl is always
beautiful, therefore utility and beauty
go together, but not always beauty
and utility. OF course birds that are
attractive in appearance will receive
better care than birds that are not
attractive. and birds that receive good
care produce more profit than those
that do not receive good care. Here
we have beauty first and utility sec
ond, but birds to be useful must be
bred for utility. This is a subject on
which much could be written.-W. A.
Congdon, DeKalb County. Illinois.
