A Fair Patent Attorney.

Miss Florence II. King Of Chicago en-
joys the distinction of being one or the
few women patent attorneys registered
in the Patent Office at Washington.
Fifteen years ago Miss King, then an
ignorant country girl, earning her Nv
ing as a domestic, CHANGED to over
hear a quarrel between two families
which was taken to court for settle
ment. Miss King was subpoenead, as
witness, and among other undreamed
of things which dawned upon her In
the course of the trial the occupation
of the court stenographer was the most
interesting. After court adjourned she
questioned the court stenographer on
what he had been doing and his ans
wers settled the vexing question or a
profession for herself. She was not
satisfied to remain a domestic; the
more genteel employment Of a school
teacher, which her family had suggest
ed, did not appeal to her. Il VIII be-
come a court stenographer," she SAID.
At this point in the story OF her iife
Miss King said with smile: Having
become court stenOgrapher wanted
| to become the court
In May, 1895, Miss King was admit
| ted to practice at the bar OF ILLINOIS.
She specialized on patents, and soon
relinquished court reporting to Devote
herself to her practice.

of the river-22 feet wide-just the
width of the steamer, and the scraping
and scratching of the branches on
either side awoke me. We stepped out
on deck, and saw the most wonderful
sight of all, "The Gates" as 1t is called.
Here the stream is so narrow that the
branches of the great cypress meet
overhead, and the gray Spanish moss
hangs down like a long delicate veil.
1t all seemed very uncanny, as If the
witches were after us, with gurgling
water and the disturbed birds scream
ing and crying like lost children.
The next morning when we left the
Oklawaha and passed into the Silver
Spring, the water suddenly became as
clear as if cut off with knife. I'M
mense gar-fish and catfish swan about
in shoals. A large hawk perched on an
old dead trunk and great blue heron
winged his stately way, slowly over
our heads. We soon landed and with
regret babe goodbye to our pleasant
fellow travellers. We reached Eustis at
half past five for it had taken all day
to make 20 miles.
At Eustis We spent nearly two weeks,
surrounded by lakes and pine woods.

After a time Doctor Dick" found
that he could no longer retain food,
and gave up eating. For five weeks
nothing except water, and now and

opportunity to enlarge upon his non

a leasing bill which will give some pro-
lection to the overcrowded grazing
lands and at the same time afford the
honest settler an advantage at all times
to establish home, is considered to be
a dubious question. Chairman Lacey's
leasing bill does not seem to be much
of an improvement upon the measures
previously brought before Congress.
Unless the small stockman and the
homesteader, with 25 or so head of
cattle or band Of 100 or 200 sheep,
feels that he is to be protected, and not
driven out of business by the big out
fits. he will kill this bill as he has
killed all such previous bills which
have been presented.
Viewed from broader standpoint
the danger to the country lies in tying
up under lease large areas of fertile
country which are suitable for home
making under their present natural
condition without irrigation, and which
are gradually settled as further know
ledge is gained of them, and better
methods of farming them are intro
duced

Gently of intestinal cancer. He had not

The aged physician, who was stall

LEASING PUBLIC LANDS.
DANGER TO THE HOMESTEAD IN
ATTEMPTS TO PROVIDE LIVE
STOCK GRAZING.
Measures Pending in Congress to
Allow Stockmen to Fence and
Graze-Difficul Lies in Protect
ing Rights OF Settlers.

Allow Stockmen to Fence and
Craze-Difficul Lies in Protect
ing Rights OF Settlers.
There is a strong movement afoot,
and several bills have been introduced
in this Congress to provide system
of renting or leasing the public graz
ing lands of the West at small charge
of from one to five cents per acre.
There are some 30O,0O0,000 acres or
western public lands which come under
the general classification of Grazing
Lands" some of which are extremely
barren in haracter-almost desert
and are capable of sustaining live
stock at the rate of only about one
head of cattle to 80 or 40 acres; other
lands where there is more rainfall, are
much better for grazing purposes, ana
some of the best Of them are capable
of sustaining steer on probably 2, 3
or acres Many of the latter class are,
however, suitable for homesteads.
The difficulty has always been, as it
is today, to provide a rental plan which
will give stock raisers a sufficient con
troll of the land to warrant them in
fencing it and improving its grazing
capacity, at the same time leaving the
conditions such that the settler ano
prospective home-steader will at all
times have free access thereto.
Under the improved methods of farm
| ing advocated by the Department OF
Agriculture, and the new drought re
sisting crops which are being intro
duced by that Department, large tracts
hitherto considered fit for nothing bu
grazing, are being constantly brought
under the head of agricultural land.
The climatic conditions of the inter
mountain region are extremely varied
and the settler (where he is not hin
dered by stock growing interests which

Mattresses OF Moss.

Mattresses OF Moss.
This Florida moss, by the way, is
not moss at all, but kind of minute
pineapple, and it seems that both it
and the pineapple are true air plants.
There is no underbruSh in these Flori-
da pine woods except now and then
patches of scrub palmetto, which looks
like the ordinary ornamental fan palm
that we cultivate for ornament in the
north, except that it never grows high
nor has any trunk.
Coming over a little rise we would
perhaps look down on a pretty lake, its
banks lined with orange groves. Every
drive we took showed us several new
lakes so that this seems we'll named
the Lake Region of the state.
Colonel t has a beautiful home
among the pines, and there | plucked
my first orange and grape fruit, my
first lime and lemon. There, also, | saw
the fragrant blossom, the green orange
and the ripe, yellow fruit, all growing
on one tree. One of the finest groves
we visited contained 1000 trees, cover
ed with oranges, while many of the
trees were full of bloom. These brides
flowers look like white 'waX stars
among the rich, dark, vanished leaves,
and the trees met overhead forming
arches under which we drove-one of
the most attractive sights imaginable.
We pulled all the fruit and blossoms
we wanted. 1t is fascinating expert
ence to stand under a large orange or
grapefruit tree, and look up through
the branches, the leaves so rich and
green, with golden globes hanging
from them, their weight sometimes
bending the branches to the ground,
and all this wealth Of vendure grow
ing out of white sand
Picnicing Among The Oranges.
On the first day of March we drove
to the young grove in which my hus

this moss in the sand to rot off the out
side, the inside fiber making a goot
substitute for hair which is used in tn,

several factories, | am told, in tn
State which make fine mattresses on
OF this moss. In the Park the gra!
squirrels chase each other up AM

are naturally against any settling and
development of their regions), is con-
stantly encroaching upon their graz
ing domain and finding new localities,
here and there, of a very great aggre-
gate extent, where he can acquire a
successful foothold to carry on agri-
cultural operations.
The Lacey Leasing Bill.
One bill in particular has been intro
duced by Chairman Lacey Of the Public
Lands Committee of the House, and is
apparently intended to protect small
stockmen as well as to prevent any re-
strictions against the settler. In the
first place it provides that no corpora
ton can lease government land. A
man who had a homestead or owns
piece Of land, may lease as much as
5000 acres, which in most grazing To-
calties would not be an excessive
amount. The measure provides that
such leases shall not be transferred,
and that where they include watering
places there shall be left open right
of way for other stockmen to pass
through the land and to use the water
for their stock. 1t also leaves the
leased land open at all times to home
stead entry by actual settlers.
On the face of it this looks equitable,
and as though it might be administered
so as not to work to the detriment of
settlement and of the small stock
holder. On the other hand it seems
apparent that it would be exceedingly
difficult to prevent big cattle corpor-
alton from hiring a dozen cowboys to
take up homesteads in their own names
erecting thereupon shanty residences,
as has been done in thousands of cases
in the West, and simply to hold their
claims and their 1920 acres each, OF
leased land, for the benefit of their
employers; so that a single cattle bar
on might easily acquire the use OF 30
or 40 thousand acres.
Hard for the Homesteader.
| 1t is also not at all certain that once
holding a lease to the land and with
| fence around il, the cowboy might not
bulldoze intending settlers into passing
on to some less hostile region. No
homebuilder unless he be made of ex-
ceedingly stern stuff, cares to attempt
making a home in the face of Win
chester or of threats that If he at
tempts a settlement, his fence wires
will be cut, his grass all eaten of and
the place be made so hot for him that
he will wish that he had never gone
into the COW country. This course has
been pursued by the stockmen with
great success in many western sections.
even where the settler was trying to
make a home upon free public land,
where the cattlemen had no shadow OF
legal right to fence or hold 1t. That
the legal lease-right to fence the land
and keep other stockmen off would be
invoked to repel settlement goes with
out saying.

DEMANDS ON MOROCCO.
Importance of Mr.. Gummere's Ms
sion to Sultan's CAPITAL.

London. Sept. 1s-A dispatch from Tangier to
"The Times says:
There is a tendency to underestimate the i'm
portance of the American mission to Fez Min
lister Gunmere will not only present his creden-
tials, but also will lay before the Sultan his
governments views of the existing state of an
archy i'm Morocco and demand the payment of
American claims and punishment for offences
against American subjects The Mayhem also
will doubtless be reminded of the Sultan's prom
ise speedily TO punish Raisuli for the seizure and
detention of Mr.. PeTdicaris.
The dispatch says the position of America
renders her action in these matters easier than
i'm the case of European powers. the hands OF
whose representatives are tied by the political
situation in Europe. Americas relations with
Morocco outside the Algeciras protocol are
clearly defined by treaty. and the Sultan's in
triSues with other powers will certainly not be
accepted excuse for the infringement OF
Ihese treaty rights. Only by firm action can the
sultan and Mayhem he made TO realize their
real position and responsibility. IF" the dis
patch adds, "the American Minister succeeds in
bringing this about he will deserve the thanks
and congratulations of all who at present are
suffering from the incapacity and arrogance OF
the existing regime at Fez."
