sire lovers-every girl does-and mar

have themselves to blame: they NAV

takes a deal of science to really attract
a man in these times. On the other

TOILET OF THE BRIDE.

''They do some queer things down IN
Missouri" said County Clerk wait
Dawson, who is just back from Joe
Folks state, according to Lincoln
(Neb) dispatch to the New York Sun.
81 was in Lamar the other week
and saw curious procession come into
town.
1T did not attract much attention
until after it drew up at the east side
of the square. Then something began
to happen.
There were two buggies. In the first
one sat a comedy looking young wom-
an and a short, stout, determined look
ing young man. In the rear buggy
was an elderly lady.
when the procession stopped the
young fellow leaped out and tied his
horse. Then he put up the curtains
of his buggy and hung the lap robe
over the front.
People began to rubber. Present
ly a bare arm reached out from an
opening in the improvised boudoir and
took from the waiting young man a
bundle of clothing.
TT was evident that the young
woman inside was changing her ap-
parel and making a new toilet. The
young man took very deep interest
in the proceedings. The bare arm kept
reaching out from between the cur
tains and taking from him various ar
ticles of wearing apparel that he fished
cut of a battered valise.
Every little while he. would take a
squirt through the little glass window
in the back of the buggy curtain and
show his approval of the progress made
by his widespread grin.
I'm few minutes the young wom
an emerged from the seclusion of her
boudoir with her toilet almost complet-
ed. The only thing lacking was but
toning up.
None of the fasteners had been put
in place, but the elderly woman, evil
IDENTIFY her mother. came promptly to
her rescue. The younger woman stood
out like half robed Venus while her
mother wrestled with the stubborn
fasteners and made the backward but
tons articulate with the holes.
THE young man Viewed the prog
ress of events with evident satisfac-
ton and when the last hook was in
place the three formed in close order
and marched into the recorders Office
for marriage license.
THE finishing touches were put on
the costume by the mother, a squire
was summoned and in the presence of
an admiring populace that crowded the
room they were married.
THE young man wore a big white
cowboy hat and shoes that were as in
nocent of polish as a newborn baby
of clothes. He bad on a waistcoat
but it was unbuttoned Tha local
paper wrote up the wedding, conclud-
ing with this:
They were Wesley Nails Of San
leon and Birdie Stephens of the same
place. They left the town happy and
obvious. Here's luck to them. May
the two Nails flourish and wax fat and
finally become a whole key of Nails"

WASHINGTON PIE

A stranger in Boston. says Short

when dining with friends once, that
the dessert which he would have class

known in Boston as Washington pie. ="
And the next time he lunched at d
restaurant he ordered the same thing,
but the waiter put before him a r'ath

clpai and interest is payable March J.

one-tenth of the total consideration
for the land. Deferred payments draw
per cent. interest.
The last legislature however. ex-
tended the time for the payment. of
principal. on land contracts to 1909. so
II Is not likely that much of the prin-
opal due Will be paid as a result of
the notices sent. The interest. how

tees sent Will bring into the current
school fund the sum of s29.oOS.41 he

TO END LAND EVIL
Hansbroush Strikes at Lieu Selections
Present Act Is Amended.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 23.-Sen-
ator HansbrOugh, chairman of the
public lands committee, has introduced
a bill amending the lieu land law in a
way to rob it of it's objectionable fea-
lures. In view of the fact that Hans
brough backs the measure. it is sure
to receive consideration. His bill pro-
vides that wherever lands covered
by patents or unprotected claims are
included in forest reserve, hereafter
created. the owner of such lands may
upon relinquishing title to the govern
ment, have his lands and improve
ments appraised and be paid by the
secretary of the interior the full APP
praised value of the same but he shall
not have the right to select other land
in lieu of that relinquished.
A second section provides that no
forest reservation shah hereafter be
created covering any lands within the
limits of any railroad grant The
last section provides that persons own
ing lands within existing reserves may
surrender their holdings and select in
lieu thereof tracts of equal area, but
of approximately the same value as the
tract surrendered.

UNIFORM DATE FOR PAYMENT
ON SCHOOL LAND CONTRACTS
IN WASHINGTON.
by the State Land Commissioner
This Week.
This Week.

March | is the uniform date for pay
ments on all school land contracts is
sued by the state land Office and this
week over 1000 notices We're sent to
purchased school land on the yearly
payment plan.
The yearly payment represents one
tenth of the purchase price, and the
aggregate amount of payments of
principal due on March l is $66 17703
1t is not likely that a great part of
this principal will be paid. Deferred
payments draw per cent interest
and, if the principal were paid into
the school fund it could not be loaned
at a greater rate, probably, than Az
per cent. Realizing this fact, the last
legislature extended the time for pay
ment of installments on school land
contracts to March /, 1909.
The notices sent out this week also
give the amount of interest due on all
contracts. Interest payments cannot
be deferred without a cancellation of
the holders contract. The aggregate
amount of interest due this year is
s29.2OS.41. The interest payments go
to the current school fund and will be
apportioned in the next quarterly APP
portionment.
The same conditions govern the'pay-
ments on tide land contracts, and no.
tees to over 600 holders of sucn con-
tracts will be sent out next week

BABCOCk WINS IN IOWA COUNTY
Prospects Of denomination Believed to
be Good.

MADISON, Wis, Feb 23.-The sue
cess of the Babcock forces in carving
the caucuses in Iowa county has given
them new zest and they are now
stralning every nerve to carry the
Sank and Grant county caucuses on
Saturday. Iowa is one of the seven
counties in the third district where the
state administration has been exerting
every effort to prevent the renomina-
ton of Congressman J. w Babcock be-
cause he is not actively in sympathy
with its proposed political reforms.
While his victory in Iowa county
does not absolutely insure his renom-
nation. it is generally believed that
the congressman wifi win out. The
,aucuses in Grant and Sank counties
will probably decide tn contest. If
Governor La Toilette fails in his at
tempt to retire Babcock from public
life 1t may, it is believed in many
quarters. mean the turning point in
his own brilliantly successful political
career.

Spain Interested In San Domingo.

MADRID, Feb. 23.-Much interest is
de Bourbon, the only son and heir of
Don Carlos. the pretender to the throne
of Spain, in taking in the military SER
vice of Russia in the far east. State
ments by leading public men of Spain
show q diversity of views in regard to
the matter. 1t has always been under
stool that SO long as Don Jaime re-
manned in the service of the Car he
might be relied upon to take no share
whatsoever in any Carlist movement
against the existing government of
Spain. On the other hand, it is argued
that If the young pretender acquits
himself with as much distinction in the
present war as he did at the time of
the late advance of the allied forces
upon Pekin he will aid greatly to his
prestige and popularity with the
Spanish populace.
1t is not to be denied that Don Jaime
is popular, not alone among his polit-
ical adnerents but likewise among the
Spaniards in general. They all enter
tain kindly feelings towards the young
prince. who, born and reared in exile.
nevertheless managed to travel incOg-
nito from one end of Spain to the other
in order to become acquainted with his
native land.
Supporters of the present govern
ment, however, see cause for satisfac-
ton rather than alarm in the departure
of Don Jaime for the scene Of hostili-
ties between Russia and Japan. From
their point Of view the action of the
czar in assigning the young prince to
military duty in the far east may be
taken as an indication of his good will
and sympathy for King Alfonso since
by so doing he not only removes the
pretender to a remote part of the world
but likewise forces the Carlists in
Spain to continue quiet owing to the
absence of the one man who might be
expected to act as their leader
Should Don Jaime, succu1ab either
TO wounds or disease in the far east it
is his uncle, Don Alphonse, younger
brother of Don Carlos. who would be-
come the only remaining heir to the
Carlists pretensions. Don Alphonse
enjoys no popularity with the Spanish
people and consequently, if anything
untoWard We're to happen to Don
Jaime there would virtually be an end
to the CarliSt cause
