A Sweet Little story From Life
From the Haskell Headlight

From the Haskell Headlight
He was an old printer-a com.
positor who set type on the even.
ing daily by the "em' so the
proprietor would know how much
TO pay him at the end of the week
and his haud trembled with
feebleness as he stood the type on
end like soldiers on parade. He
had one little girl at home, and
every evening when the file was
clear and the cases distributed the
old man would stop in the editor's
room and among the discarded
exchanges rumble about and select
the bright, attractive picture pa.
pers for the child, sick at home.
The other printers joked at him,
"the old rag picker" but after II
time the editor got in the habit Of
saving out all the picture papers.
and when the white.ha,red printer
called would tell him "there was
some stuff on the corner that
might please his little girl,' One
day his case was vacant, and when
the printers came 10 work they
walked by in breathless silence.
No one had told them the old
mans child was sick, but now they
understood, and when the lunch
hour came they assembled around
the stone aud talked in low tones,
Another day found the old man
in his usual place, though his
shoulders stopped II little lower
and his hand shook as the type
ratified IN his stick. But somehow
his case was better assorted, and
every take" he drew from the
hook was "phat" one. When
evening came the old man went to
the editorial room but paused at
the door and turned away. 1t had
become such a habit with him aud
he had started in to search among

in valuing the land, will take into
consideration the fact that a piece
of land is leased and the purchaser
cannot get possession of the same
for five years.
Replying to the above, You are
advised that the department has
decided that it is not required of
the government to inquire into and
take into consideration the fact as
to whether or not leases have been
made covering aIlotments, but to
see that the Indians obtain a
reasonable value independent of
any existing lease.
"Under these circumstances, |
do not think that it will he neces.
sary for this office to require the
allottee to furnish information as
to whether or not the land offered
for sale by him is leased for term
of years.
"As to your second question,
/ that is, in valuing the land will
this office take into consideration
the fact that it is leased and the
purchaser cannot get possession
of the same for five years, | have
to say that this Office will not take
such a fact into consideration
when it is yaluing such lands.o
With this attitude of the govern.
ment respecting leases, the sale
of land will undoubtedly he retard.
ed, and prospective bidders will
be wary Of making bids on lands
without full investigation. Most OF
the best land is plastered over
with one or more leases, some OF
which will hold, while others are
no doubt worthless.
