Goes to Supreme Court.

The opinion was written by Justice
Bureh who said the case would finally be
decided in the United States supreme
court ms an act of Congress is involved.
From former Lewiston of the higher court
Justice Burch holds that the grant to the
ground took effect Immediately on the
passage of the act. and that all persgns
who bought lands adjoining the rstilroad
property took their titles subItet to the
cumpanys rights This Is based on the
fact that the officials of tine land deparf-
ment could not issue patents to persons
which would allow the purchasers title
to the land which alrendy had been given
TO the railroad.
The wide right Of way is granted to
the railroad with the express provision
that ali troops and munitions of war
should he carried free, however, and pri-
vate individuals could not encroach upon
the right of way. since the country has
been settled. that the company can be
deprived of the lands.
The case decided today should not be
confused with the suit of the Missouri.
Kansas and Texas railroad against tho
government for the land grant in Indian
Territory. in which Kansas Is acting as
trustee for the railroad company. Tho
latter case is now i'm the United States

Because of rouge skilfully applied,
the little geisha's cheeks were rosy,
and because of paint her lips were
very, very red, like threads of Grim
son silk.
She wore a kimona of cool, SHIN
mering gray, with storks in erratic
fight all up and down 1t; her blue
obi-like an overgrown pillow-was
adjusted with care, and atop OF all
was her face, lily-fair under the high,
satiny black coiffure, her slanting eye
brows-ah, Art helped Nature there
her eyes at once Turing and childlike,
and the scarlet line that was her
mouth
When Raeburn, lately arrived in
Toxic, came to the teahouse under the
wistarias his beauty-loving nature re-
joiced, and he told her that she was
like roses and gray mist"
o Taya San looked pleased, though
all she understood was the young
'Merican's smiling eyes: but she
poured his tea, and clapped her she'll
pink palms together for more cakes,
and, when another girl shuffled in,
they danced, in movements as grace
full as roses swaying in the wind.
1t was late before Raeburn remem-
bered that he hadn't stopped in Toxic
merely TO visit teahouses, and that
he must get back to Dunn's rooms as
fast as rickshaw and long-legged
coolie would take him.
He was comforted to find that Dunn
had turned in it saved the bother of

remained in the hall, to be gently

There was late and hurried break.

Dunn, as good servant of govern

leaving his friend to spend the day as
he liked. He was pleased to loaf
throughout the morning, to write
few letters, to scribble some of the
inevitable postcards, and, late in the
afternoon, clad in creaseless white, to
travel via rickshaw to teahouse-a
certain teahouse with purple curtains
of wistaria flowing all around it.
Taya San was there, and tinkled
away at an instrument that seemed a
cross between banjo and guitar;
Raeburn sat himself down, with easy
grace, in the cross-legged manner of
his vis-a-vis; they laughed together
over he:' quaint efforts to talk 'Meri-
can, and the task of teaching was so
pleasant that when o Taya San lifted
her thick lashes and said, you come

only for the pleasure of talking to
pretty teahouse girls.
She's beautiful" he confided to
Dunn, few days later, after that lean
jawed, cynical person had been jeer-
ing at him for going daffy over a
mere teahouse girl, kept there for

replied Dunn, languidly interested,
