What we want here is land law
based upon the general law of the
United States, subject, however, to
few notifications. Over there, for
instance, they have plenty of land.
A married man is given 100 acres
and single man or woman 30 acres.
Owing to the limited area, we could
not do that here. Iu all other re-
spects the United States land laws
are just what we should have. They
are infinitely better than Dole's
cumbersome system, now in vogue.

JANUARY BIRD LIFE.
Many BIackcapped Chickadees This
Season SnO7Cbirds.
BY C. william Beebe. Curator of OrnithoIoGy. New
York Geological Society.

No time is more propitious or advisable for
the amateur bird lover TO begin his studies than
the first of the year. Bird life is now reduced to
its simplest terms in numbers and species. and
the absence of concealing foliage. together with
the usual tameness of winter birds makes iienti-
hcation easy matter. And here let me en-
phasiZe the Importance of keeping bird iieUt.:i-
cation within its proper limitations. To he able
to call bird by its correct name is a good thing
but to know something of its structure or ht1-
its is an infinitely better thing. l recently saw
audience, each Of whom knew by sight
twenty-five to fifty species of birds, but not one
individual in the house could give any idea Of
the significance of the scales upon a birds foot.
In January and the succeeding month We have
with birds which are called permanent resi-
dents. which do not leave us throughout the en-
tire year. and, in addition, the winter visitors
which have come to US from the far north.

not dream of the manner in which
Kate would take it.
No one but Hayden and Kate her

BY the next night Hayden had left

WON THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP
The Picket Won the Great Race by
Nose.

New York-Coming down along the
rail, in the last few strides from the
wire, The Picket, the VESTS cham
pion in the Brooklyn handicap,
snatched victory away from the Irish
Lad, the Brooklyn winner of last year
and the Metropolitan winner of this
year.
1t was scarcely more than a differ
ence of a head, but the westerner fin
ished stronger than the Duryea colt,
whose terrific pace with Hermis up to
the very home stretch would have tried
to the utmost the stoutest of hearts and
the sturdiest of limbs. Frantic cheers
which had been ringing in the threats
of nearly 40, 900 spectators died away
when it was realized that the Irish
Lad had gone down to defeat.
Proper, the California candidate
came through at the end and beat out
Hermis for third place. The time fol
the mile was 1889 30, and for the mile
and a quarter, 2:06 80, one, and one
fifth seconds slower than the race
made by Irish Lad last year. The
handicap was worth $40, 900, of which
$4,000 went to the second horse anC
$500 to the third.

l(7 such great villain after all.
~ Put badly, he had merely
flirted with a girl Of lower position
in life than his own, and left her. Yet
circumstances and the girl had be-
fore long made the affair seem heart
less tragedy and for two miserable
years George Hayden had been haunt
ed by 1t.
There was no doubt that he had
made love, generally with gay non
chalance, occasionally with fervor, to
Kate Moon, of Mossdyke farm.
1t was during that summer when he
was off fishing in Devon, and the
weather was beyond reproach-except
for fishing. The trout would not bite,
and Kate Moon was beautiful, tall and
black haired, with a complexion of the
proverbial Devon milk and roses; a
magnificent, passionate, impulsive girl.
1t was an artistic pleasure to him to
see her coming toward him in her lilac
cotton gown-she always wore lilac
cotton gowns unlike any one else's, full
gathered and dainty, with bordering
of palest pink around hem and waist
the effect was one of lavender and
roses.
1t was when the rector came back
after his holiday, bringing with him his
sister, his niece and-quite by coinci
