THE LEASING SYSTEM.

The leasing system has its a1!
yocates ana opponents, and the
attitude Of cattlemen toward it
may fairly well be determined by
ascertnining the condition III re-
spect to an abundance or scarcity
of grass in the localities where
their herds are kept.
In Western Colorado where
there Is still an abundance OF good
grass and oyerstocking has not
crowded the range and tended to
destroy it, the cattlemen oppose
the leasing system. But in other
localities, where the range Is short
and much of it has been destroyed
by oyerstocklng, there is strong
sentiment in favor of leasing.
The solution OF the problem
rests with the stockmen thensel
yes as far AS it can be settled out
of Congress. Public sentiment in
Colorado lis not agreed in regard
to the policy which should be
adopted, but it Is claimed with
some show of truth that the feel
ing III favor OF leasing is growing.
This would seem to be natural in
view OF the fact that gradually the
the range is being destroyed by
overstocklng and in consequence
of the impracticability OF protect
ing it agains: invasion.
The leasing theory proceeds up
on the supposition that if the gov
ernmeni permitted certain parts
OF the public range to be fenced
by lessees grass would herestored
and thus in the course of lime u
large numbe, OF cattle would con
tinue to be maintained. But on
the other hand it is claimed that
ii the range Is not protected by
some sort of leasing system 1t will
be overrun by conflicting herds or
invaded bv tlocks of sheep and it
will be impossible to protect the
grass from destruction. Great
ilocks Of sheep Will invade part1c
ular localities and eat the grass
down so close and so trample the
ground that the roots OF the grass
will be destroyed and the range
will be turned INTO desert.
Against this the cry is raised
that the leasing system would work
only in the interests OF great stock
barons, who would be permitted
to control vast areas OF public land.
paying for it but small sum per
acre. 1t is evident, however that
provision could be made against
this danger by restricting the
amount that could be leased by
any one man or company to def
lnlte number OF acres This mum
Der could be placed so low that it
would prevent the absorption of
the range by the large stock men,
whether owners of cattle or of
sheep.-Denver Republican,.

or disconnected expression. for such will be
apt to leave its imprint during her sleeping
moments and contribute just so much 10
permanent unbecoming lines. As she fines
herself sinking into the arms of the drowsy

the eyelids to drop gently. but fully. over
the eyes, and. Just as she yields herself to

valuable advice. so 1 have been told. I have

Watchfulness VIII Lessen
Tendency TO Open the Mouth.
Persons are apt. at the moment of falling
asleep. to let the jaw drop slightly. and
the lines of mouth settle thmselves In
heavy curves. This Is not necessary and a
little watchfulnsss at the moment Of losing
consciousness Will lessen the tendency. To
prevent the dropping of the jaw. a cloth or
handkerchief may be bound about 1t. and
1t may be very well to try this a few times.
until one acquires the knack of not drop

1t is necessary to be well covered while

reason: Nature takes the time when one Is

minutes, say it is go strokes. At night,
when about eight hours are spent in lying
