Austin, Tex, July 2O.-rhe Land
Commissioner reports an unusually
large number OF inquiries being re-
ceived relative to the sale of school
lands. 1t will be remembered that he
announced that between now and Jan
uary about 100000 acres would
come on the market for sale to actual
settlers This land comes on in large
amounts at a time. being regulated by
the expiration of large leases. AS is
the case with most of the school land,
the buyers expect to find rich thing
OF 1t, and much eagerness Is displayed
in attempting to purchase. Under the
new law the prospective buyers must
submit their bids for the land sought,
and that bid must always be as much
or better than the appraised value
fixed by the land commissioners The
commissioner inspects the land, or has
1t inspected, and he fixes minimum
value thereon. 1t can not be sold for
less than that price. However, there
is never any question on that point
for the disposition of the. purchasers
is to exceed the lowest figure adopted
by the commissioner.
There has been some little activity
in mineral lands in the extreme wes
of late, but nothing large or definite
has become known to the public.

1t sends forth musical sounds closely

natives. who are ignorant supersti-

dread. There Is no reason for this,
for the plant gives forth its unusual
sounds because of certain thorns at
its base. These are pierced with tiny
holes by insects who search for the

How to Improve His Movements

WILL MACDONALD used to tell with a
W. chucke of a comment by his big brother
Sam, who helped him while he was studying
in Milan. Sam came to one of Wills first
performances in Washington.
How did you like it, Sam?" asked Will, at
the after-theater supper
YOU'D move a bit easier if you were on
casters, said Sam.
Some of the newspaper criticisms in small
cities where the critics were also the police
reporters and society editors, were provocative
of much hilarity. Once in Indiana the local
writer devoted most of his space to a synopsis
of the plot of The Bohemian Girl, which he
condemned in extravagant terms. THE idea,
he wrote, of working that hoary device of
strawberry mark to identify the heroine Why,

that the author was a thief as many OF the

Speaking of "The Heart Bowed Down" re-
minds me that Myron w. Whitney generally
received three recalls every time he sang 1t.
He sang it badly. and knew he did, and after
every performance he would go to his dressing
room. tear off his stage clothes, and take
violent oath that he would never go on again.

This is delivered by Bunthorne to an admir-

fervor and pathos that sensible verse would
demand. After reciting these precious
lines, Bunthorne pauses, then adds in the
gloomy cadence of his cult, "a little thing of

daughter and make his living at writing stories.

He visits Kensal Green cemetery the next day,

Green. For sometime he did not go to the
grave. but stood at the bend of the path,
whence he should be able to see her feet coming
and the blooming beneath them of the March
daisies in the turf. But she did not come. The
minutes went dragging by. Strolling presently
nearer the grave, he noticed the fresh wreath
and the letter laid on it.
He stood long while by the Iona cross over
the violets, while the dusk deepened to a
gloom like that of his mind. How empty
seemed London nowi And all life, how scent
less and stale now. without the purple and per-
fume of her! For she was gone, and all
necessity for any communication between
her and him was now at an end" He went
away from the cemetery whistling tune,
with a jaunty step, in order to persuade
himself that his heart was not hollow, nor his
mind black with care.

Longing for her only grandson, Ell

was executed at the state prison for
wife murder, Mrs. Elizabeth Morris of
Jaydee Mo-, mother of the murdered
woman, has written again for aid to
locate the child and have the little fell
low sent to her. The letter was re-
ceivsd by friends of Mrs. Morris but
it is not probable that any action will
be taken to have the child returned
to the grandmother.
The city court issued an order Dec.
26. 1903. appointing the Children's Aid
and Home-finding association the
child's guardian For some months the
little fellow was cared for at the in
stitution and the directors of the So
ciety at last met, and decided TO give
the child a home The life of the child
was weighed as against the life of the
grandmother and II was decided, for
the welfare OF the boy, to remove the
shadow of the fathers sin from his
life. and to give him a home where his
identity would be lost. This was done,
but the child's grandfather is still
