Richard Hamilton Byrd.

Three men went out west to seek
their fortunes. One located in the
Middle West-not the Middle West,
perhaps, as it is generally known,
but the central section of the west
ern half of the United States-in the
desert country. He started his sue
cessful career by taking up a govern
ment claim under the desert-land act.
He was in the cattle Countrywide
COW country-and he made his strike
in cattle.
His friend went further north, still
In the desert area, close to the Cana
dian line-in the sheep country. He
took up government homestead
claim and committed it.
. The third man went into the far
northwest-the Oregon country Of
Lewis and Clarke-and he took up a
government timber CAIN. He located
in land where numbering was done.
And these three men became great
cattle and sheep and timber kings,
and incidentally landlords; and their
operations while widely different
were singularly similar. They filed on
their government claims and at the
earliest possible moment each man
proved up and sold out" for cash to
larger land grabbers. And so they
learned the mode and got their start
toward land grabbing themselves.
The desert entryman was supposed
under the law to live at least three
years on his 800 acres and to expend
during that period 5000 in construct
ing irrigation bitches and other i'm
provements, and make it his home.
This was what was promised for the
law when it was slipped through
Congress. AS a matter of fact, this
man spent day with team making
fake irrigation reservoir and then
another day running couple of fur
rows around the land, making oath
that this constituted an irrigation
system for its reclamation. Then
within six months he proved up"
made the required payments to the
government, and secured patent to
his land.
The homestead entryman, who, I'M
der the law, must reside continuously
on his claim, erected a slab, one-room
shanty, 10x12 feet and during a per-
iod Of fourteen months slept in it just
five times. This was the extent of
his home making. Then he, too, made
oath Of what he had not done, offered
the required payments to the govern
ment and secured title to his land.
The timber entryman went into the
finest timber section of the United
States-the dense forests of the far
northwest-and under the timber and
stone act, selected 100 acres of land,
the timber standing upon which was
worth SIS an acre, and swearing that
he wanted it for his own personal use,
purchased it from the government at
the fixed price of $3.50 an acre and
Immediately disposed Of it. So that
within fourteen months these three
men had secured from Uncle Sam an
aggregate of one square mile of gov.
eminent land for their own benefit
and use as homes, and sold it out to

Comfort on Uncle Sans
Ample Breast,

Cupid Is one Of the best recruiting
officers that Uncle Sam has," confded
one of the sergeants attached to the
recruiting headquarters "Back Of
nearly every enlistment there is a
woman in the case. Lovers quarrels
chase lot of fine lads into the serv-
ice. Your romantic youth gravitates
to the recruiting Office after serious
break with his sweetheart as naturally
as duck takes to water. 1t seems
to him the most fitting way in which
to sacrifice himself when loves young
dream is apparently dispelled. Way
down in his heart he nurses the idea
of making his erstwhile inamorata
sad, and it's the army or navy, with
the possibility of death in battle, for
him. Again, other first class material
is recruited by the desire Of young
fellows to sport uniform before theil
girls. In such cases Cupid does his
recruiting through vanity. But in botl
ways he manages to fill up big gaps

Mr.. Kramer is a Washington florist
with large experience in the flower
line, many new and interesting nov
elites having originated in his green
houses. Among the popular garden
roses which he produced are the
climbing Meteor" a climbing varie-
ty with large red blooms; champion
of the World" Robert Il. Lee" "F.
II. Kramer" and many other sorts
which have been sold to catalogue
houses and named by them. He has
just originated the climbing Ameri-
can Beauty" which will probably be
listed by flower-sellers next spring. He
recently exhibited in Washington the
"F, III. Kramer" carnation-a deep
pink sort-which many well-known
florists have declared to be the equal
of either the Lawson" or "Fiancee."
He states that no plants of the

for distribution before the spring Of

No nation has ever been so reckless
or has been so mercilessly robbed OF It's
public land resources as has the United
States. Since the early history of
the republic, land in vast tracts has
been granted to individuals and cor
porations, and in spite of the pubiiI
attention which Of late years has been
directed to the matter, the absorption
goes ON at an alarming rate. II
seems difficult for the man who has
lived in the west for years to realize
that there is any good reason why she
should not debauch and buy out hum
dreds of Others who are willing to sell
their birthright as American citizens,
thus enabling him to acquire do
main which would have been princely
in the days of feudalism.

Attempted Craftings.


Various articles have been tried by
clever but INSCRIPTIONS people to OBJ
tain specimens of the "Queen Beat
rice" rose, many coming into the
Kramer establishment where a huge
bouquet of the blooms was on exhibit
ton, Offering to purchase at large
prices a single flower for a bouton-
Mere Others have gone so far as to
order elaborate funeral designs with
the proviso that nothing but this par
ticular kind of rose be used. These
were only lodges to obtain the healthy
wood for slipping and growing, for
the best time to make rose cuttings is
either just before or Immediately after
the plant comes into bloom.
One Washington florist who origi-
mated the "Ivory" rose-a handsome
white flower, and a sport Of Golden
Gate"-was unwise enough to sell cut
flowers, thereby enabling the purcha-
sers to propagate the variety cheaply.
The Washington Florists Club re-
Gently awarded the new "Queen Beat
rice" rose a certificate of merit, the
first of the kind ever given by the
club. The new flower is so striking
and beautiful that every member of
the club consented to the award.

NO TURKEY STUFFLNG /?
Christmas Dinner Incomplete With

The latest and most obnoxious
crank in tn gastronOmic line is that
deluded epicure who asserts that
Christmas turkey must be served
without ''stuffing.' He says it is an
anomaly, a thing without reason, an
insult to the completeness Of the
bird. He even declares that it de-
tracts from the sweet flavor and deli.
cate aroma of the king of fowls.
Thus he thrusts himself into the pub
H. arena. most unwelcome butter
in," striving to accomplish the down
fall of an historic institution. He is
not a true American. He has never
tasted "stuffing as mother made it,
the real Simon-pure article, spooned
out of the deep recesses of the royal
bird in great crumbly masses that fill
the room with rich aroma and the
heart Of man, woman and child with
joy unconfned.
1t is the soul of the turkey, is stuff
ing. With the bird itself one Is al
ways bothered about what part he
will haye-whether white meat or
dark; whether wing, thigh, or q
drumstick; whether the wish-bone,
the liver, or "the part that went over
the fence last;" but for the stuffing,
American sentiment is universal.
The only question is: How much does
one dare to eat? And then that en-
trancing. sagey odor, from the mys-
terious "yarbs' that enter into the max.
ing-as sweet as the summer breezes
over new mown hay-as delicate as
the fragrance Of orange blossoms on
a wedding day. And perchance, in
addition, we shall catch the sublime
suggestion of an onion, waited into
our quivering nostrils, and recalling
some dear departed maternal spirit
who ministered to our boyish wants
in days of yore.
Turkey straight, without stuffingi
Not while there is breath to sound a

the former, one Of the most popular
crimson varieties, but uncertain in the
production of perfect blooms. Queen
Beatrice has none of the faults of its
parents and combines all of their good
qualities; it is resistant to insect and
mildew attacks, and capable of fore

Grown at Gardiner Hubbard Mansion
It was originated hg Peter Bissett
and will be put on the market by
Florist F. III. Kramer, of Washington.
Bissett is the head gardener of Mrs.
Gardiner Hubbard, the widow Of the
late Gardiner Hubbard, at one time
president Of the National Geographic
Society. She is the mother-in-law of
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor
of the telephone. The new rose was
produced at her beautiful suburban
residence, Twin Oaks, just outside of
the national capital.
The leading florists of the country
have known of the existence of this
rose for a year and have made various
tempting offers for it, but it remained
for Florist Kramer to offer $4,000
and finally secure the beauty.
Such fabulous sum for a rose
seems Insignificant, however, when it
is remembered that but a few years
ago Thomas Lawson of 'Frenzied FL
nance" fame paid $4,000 for mere
carnation, while the greater amount
of $125,O00 was expended for the "Fi-
ancee" carnation. 1t ia limited that
Mr.. Lawson cleaned up over 100000
out of the Lawson pink and the buy
ers of the "Fiancee" carnation easily
doubled the amount expended.
