WEDDING HAD TO STOP.
Ceremony Halted While Sally Jag.

Bishop Gambler OF Georgia, recently
told one OF the national lawmakers
from that state an experience he had
when he first began to preach the gos-
pei and tie nuptial knots, says the
Washington Times.
"One day | was called on and en-.
gagged to marry a couple in one of the
out of-the-way districts. | found the
house a rudely constructed log AFFAIR,
with but one room and a loft above,
which was entered by a ladder and a

Lone Widows Hundred Cats.

A singular case was decided in a
Montreal courtt'yosterday. Mrs. L..
Brossard, widow, resides in a rented
house and her landlord moved to have
the lease Cancelled on the ground that
the woman used the house more as a
menagerie than as a place of human
habitation.
1t a set forth that about a hum
dred cats were kept by this lonely
widow, and the plea was that they
not only injured the premises but
were a nuisance in the neighborhood.
The woman conducted her own de-
Tense. She argued that she was a
poor, lon widow and therefore should
be allowed to have Is many cats as
she thought necessary to solace her
declining years. Judgment was rend-
cred by Judge T~aschereau, who or.
dered the woman to vacate the house
and to pay all the rem due as well as
the costs of the case.-Toronto Globe.

1t believes tina, those desiring
" commute homestead entries should
ne compelled to reside thereon for a
period Of three years. and advises that
me desertland laws be so amended that
a person canno take more than 100
acres. This recommendation is add.
ed: Actual residence should be re
quired upon a desert entry for not less
than two years, with the production Of
a valuabl crop oil o%ne-fourth of the
area and proof of an adequate water
supply"
The commission opposes the imme-
date application of any rigid system
to all grazing lands. but recommends
that the president should be author,
lied to set aside grazing districts by
proclamation, said districts to be
under the control of the secretary of
agriculture. The summary concludes
with the statement:
The fundamental fact that charac-
~terizes the situation under the present
public land laws is this-that the num-
Der of patents issued is increasing out
OF all proportion I o the number of new
homes
While the recommendations of the
commission are a trihe drastic, the
adoption thereof would unquestiOnably
be far more beneficial to the great
west than the repeal of the land acts
in question, as urged by Mr., Maxwell
and his railroad lobby. The state
ment of the commission that the num-
Der of patents issued is increasing out
of all proportion to the number of new
homes is true. In Wyoming and other
western states homestead and desert
entries are too often made to prevent
settlement.
The recommendation that desert en-,
tries be reduced to 100 acres will
hardly meet with the approval OF the
large stoCkmcn. but the farmer will

the judge, "and n day a planter
who had made a mile front on the

ranged that he should send on his
titles for inspection, but after four
or five days he wrote me:

he wrote me:
"Last night the river cut in on me

But the papers never came" con-
tinued the judge. Two weeks passed..

PUBLIC LAND COMMISSION RE
PORT.

President Roosevelt has sent to
congress a partial report of the public
land commission appointed by him
more than a year ago. The commits
sion consists of Commissioner w. A.
Richards, Chief Engineer Newell of
the reclamation service and Mr.. Gif
ford Pinchott. chief of the bureau of
forestry.
The report is in line with past
recommendations from the same gen
tlemen. They favor a broader and high.
er use of the public domain than is
contemplated in the present land laws,
particularly the timber and stone act,
the desert act, the Communication
c%iauseof the homestead act and the act
permitting lands to be taken in lieu
of lands in forest reserves.
In transmitting the report President
Roosevelt says he is in full sympathy
with the conclusions of the commits
sion in substance and in essence and
commends its recommendations to the
earnest and favorable consideration of
congress.
The commission favors the repeal of
the present law permitting the right of
exchange of lands within forest re

advises hat provision De made for the
purchase Of private lands in such re-
serves or for the exchange thereof for
specified tracts of like area and value

nine United States senators willing to
stand squarcly with the president on

minority and that the president should
have the power to submit matters to
arbitration without going to the ser
ate for a treaty. 1t is a pleasure also
to note hat Senator Warren was one
of the nine who stood by President
Roosevelt. At the present time the

When a physician tells a woman, suf-

that an operation Is necessary 1t, of
course, frightens her.

must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full Of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t Is quite true that these troubles
may reach q stage where an operation
Is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia f. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said m operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up 20 the point where
the knife must be used TO secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain 70 help.

statements possible 20 make come from
women who, by taking Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
