California still has 100000 acres Of
unreserved land. Most of it is rough

Gus, a little suitable for fruit growing.
Some of it is timbered. some contains
minerals, but it is not, on the whole, an
attractive field for the homesteader.
Colorado has $4,000, 900 acres lying
idle. and some of this land is adapted to
farming, with irrigation The draw
back is less difficult to surmount in
Colorado than almost anywhere else.
Florida's 100000 acres are level and
for the most part timbered. The public
land in the southern counties is marshy
and unavailable for any present day
purpose.
Idaho. with 100000 acres of gov
eminent land. has scarcely any tillable
soil The greater part of it is a lava
and sagebrush desert
Kansas has 100000 acres of unap-
propriated land The reason for this is
because the soil is not good enough to
encourage settlement
Louisiana is credited with 210, 900
acres of the public estate. This rem
nant is mostly sandy and clay soil of
1 Indifferent quality some of it timbered.
Michigan has only $4,000 acres of IN
Gle Sans farm. This land is described
as very good soil. and the reason it is
still vacant is probably to be found in
its inaccessibility-
Minnesota's 100000 acres have thus
far offered no temptation to the home
seeker. The land may be rich in min
erals, but it is not well adapted to agri-
culture.
In Mississippi there are 10000 acres
of public land, broadly described as ag-
ricultural and timbered.
! Missouri has 10000 acres CT public
domain. There is some valley land, but
most of it is hilly and timbered and not
suitable for agricultural purposes
Montana, with $1,000. 600 acres of land
which may be pre-empted, can furnish
! some good farming land. Most of it.

officers. Miss Ford was quite a belle
among the officers and professed the
most ardent Union sentiments. She
was so Intelligent and so interested in
the army's movements that the officers
took great pains to acquaint her with
all their plans. The only visitor she
had was an awkward youth who used
to come sometimes and sit on the pi-
azza and talk to her. He was appar-
emily too bashful to talk much to any
body. He was MOsby. the famous guer-

Miss Ford was suspected OF duplicity

by another woman, spy employed by
the Union secret service. She went to
Miss Ford and represented herself to

Island together-more than S.5O0,000
acres. This land has been open to set
tiers for several years in $50 acre lots,
but owing to its poor quality has not
proved attractive to the homesteader.
1t is for this reason that the allotments
have been increased to $40 acres. This
will be sufficient to enable the owner to
go into the cattle raising business. To
conserve the right of the actual set
tiers the Kinkaid law provides that the
homesteader cannot relinquish his
claim to a grant for five years. This
will prevent the cattle barons from OBJ

AS a matter of fact, there is left com
paratively little of the public domain
open to unrestricted settlement There
remains. of course, in the custody Of
the government a considerable area of
unappropriated land, but it is small

In Nebraska most Of the s.50o.oOO

North Dakota has about $4,000, 600

Utah's 100000 acres of public land

field for a reformer; it was virgin soil.
From all other points of view it was
the most hopeless country under the
sun. No one but a man of the most
reckless enthusiasm would have at
tempted it. over the whole land there
had fallen the slumber of at least nine
centuries. 1t was certainly that far be-
hind the world. In no other state was
life SO insecure, so dependent on each
individuals capacity to protect himself
and overawe his neighbor. Abdul found
himself the ruler of a land so given over
to anarchy and blackmail that it was
impossible to find an honest man of his
own race. Every Moor was subject to
instant arrest and Imprisonment, from
which he could only hope to escape by
paying a sum that must beggar him.
All the ministers made a practice of
dealing in pardons. There was not a
railroad or even four wheeled vehicle
in the kingdom. There were few
bridges and practically no regular
roads. All trade was conducted by
mule and camel back. Morocco was at
once the most fertile and most squalid
state of Barbary.
About this time, fortunately for the
young sultan's liberal development
there came to the court at Fee soldier
of fortune, a man who might have
shared the experiences of Sir Walter
Raleigh had he been a contemporary of
that worthy. He had lived in a dozen
countries, had served in more than one
army and possessed a marvellous talent
for organization. This clever adventur-
er, Sir Henry Maclean, a Scotchman,
at once won the friendship of the sultan
and was assigned the important task of
putting the Moroccan army on a re-
spectacle footing. This he proceeded
to do, and he did it so well and so
quickly that it seemed like witchcraft
to the superstitious Moors. From Sir
Henry it was that Abdul heard the sto-
ry of the wonderful things in the outer
world. To the eager and alert boy it

land and what is otherwise fit for cul-
tivation is too hiIly.
Arizona has 100000 acres described
as mountainous, arid or grazing land.
Most of it could be made fertile by ir-
rigation, and the government has in
contemplation a scheme to reclaim a
large portion of it. A few localities are
fairly well adapted to grazing, especial
ly for sheep.
Arkansas has about 100000 acres
belonging to the public. This land is
described in the government record as
rolling, swampy or broken timber land

mobiles with no roads to speed them
over and sixty foot yacht with a riv-
er only thirty feet wide He also treated
himself to a menagerie gathered from
all parts of the world at an enormous
expense He filled the royal palaces
with a motley collection Of modern
inventions - telephones, microscopes.
monographs and all the electrical de-
vices he could obtain All this was
amusing and possibly instructive for
Abdul, but it was the madness of
witchcraft to the hoary headed Mos
lens who were trying to steer the ship
Of state.
Another bold departure from the
NIoslem practice was even more serious
in its consequences. An Englishman
was shot one day at Fee without provo
cation. His slayer, a fanatical tribes
man, took refuge in a mosque Ac-
cording to Moorish custom, he was as
safe in that sanctuary as was the sui
tan in his palace. Abdul. however, did
not see fit to take that view of it He
dragged the murderer out of the sane
tuary and shot him Many of the sui
tan's own soldiers deserted and went
over to a pretender who was at that
time preparing to make trouble. This
shrewd mahdi, making his appearance
from nobody knows where, secured
much capital out of AbduTs foolhardi-
ness. 1t gave him opportunity to ac-
cuse the young sultan of forsaking the
religion of his fathers and following the
practices of the hated Nazarenes- Ow-
ing to the willy rascaIs cleverness and
the intrigues of the French, who would
like to attach slice of the sultan's do
mains to Algeria. Abdul has had plenty
TO disturb his dreams. To this is now
added the complication of the abduc-
ton. A less astute despot than Abdul
might feel hattered at having attracted
International attention. but the sultan
knows how unsafe it may be.
