ABSENCE TO
BE allowed
Homesteaders May Not Have
To Spend Winter Months
On Their Claims

Washington, Feb. 6-The
senate committee on public lands
today authorized a favorable re-
port on a bill permitting leaves
of absence to entcy men under
the homestead laws during the
months of December, January,
February and March.
The committee reported an
amendment providing that in the
Communication of homestead proofs
no credit for the period of actual
absences under this act shall be
allowed.
Senator Newiands offered as an
amendment a provision which
would extend the commutation
on homesteads from fourteen
months to three years actual resi-
dence, but it was rejected.
The provisions, however, led to
a general discussion of the COM
mutation clause and it is stated
that President Roosevelt favored
the requirement for increased
residence.

HE WANTED REAL MONEY
Clean New Sheets of Bills Did Not
Look Like the Real Thing
to Him.

The National Bank of Sabetha
gets its paper money from the gov
eminent in large sheets. After the
bills are signed by the officers of the
National Bank of Sabetha each bill
is cut off with a pair of scissors and
the paper becomes currency.
Some time ago Jason Mailman
went over into Missouri to buy a
farm. Desiring TO have the money
in convenient form, he got the bank
bills in the large uncut sheets. He
went to Missouri and everything
went smoothly. Negotiations for the
farm with the old farmer were soon
completed, and when it came time
for Mailman to hand over the
money he pulled out a couple of
sheets Of bills. Getting a pair of
scissors from the farmers wife he
began to cut of the bills with which
to make the purchase. The farmer
looked at the operation, mouth open
and eyes bullying. After Mailman
had cut off a few of the bills the
farmer stopped him.
"Now hold on here, brother" he
said, Il want you to know that l
take the Jasper County Farmer, an
I've bin rcadin' about them gold
bricks an things. | don't want nun
Of Yer Sundowcr money that amt
got the ink dry on it yit. Excuse
me, but I'll have to have some real
Missouri money that's got some dirt
and grease on it."
The payment was soon made in
another way. and Mailman brought
the sheets back to Sabetha with him.

HIGH HEELS HAVE USES
Peculiarly Of Cowboys Footwear
Cannot Be Ascribed to
Vanity Alone.

Every one who has travelled
through the west or has witnessed
a wild West" show has noticed the
boots worn by the cowboys. The
legs are adorned with many lines or
scrolls of stitching, while the heels
are invariably two inches high,
tapering and curved inward under
the instep, These ladylike heels
are not for display, but for use,
explains the Kansas City Star.
They are made high so as to
prevent the wearer's foot slipping
through the sJirrup when riding
On the ground they are a brace in
roping a steer or horses. As the
animal tugs to get away. the cow
boy sinks his sharp heels into the
ground and thus secures a frmness
of footing which would be impossi-
bic if his boot heels were flat and
low. At Olathe. Kan, there is a
factory that makes 200 pairs of
cowboy boots a week, and each pair
is made to order. for 10 real cow
boy will wear "hand me downs"
The company's catalogue, which is
sent to every ranch throughout the
southwest, contains directions for
taking boot measures. These are
sent to the factory by the cowboys
and the boots are made TO order.
They cost from s. to SIG. besides
the express charges. The cowboys
other pet extravaganza is his hat,
for which he sometimes pays as
much as $5o.-Chicago Evening

FAMILY CARVED FROM WOOD
California Man Surely Has the Most
Remarkable Eccentricty
Yet Recorded.

William Bennett, superintendent
of electric lighting in Fort Bragg,
Cal, has the most remarkable fam
lily in the world From his wife
down to his Youngest child they
are all carved from wood by Ben
nett's own hands. They live in a
nice eight-room house, are dressed
extensively. for Bennett has plenty
of money, and they wear iewclry.
Naturally, they are the talk Of the
town.
There are many advantages in
having such a family as this one,
for the wife can never quarrel with
her husband, no matter how late he
may return from the lodge.
The daughters can never elope,
for their father has only to chop
them into kindling wood if they be-
come refractory in such matters,
and as for the sons, if they refuse
to follow their fathers footsteps he
has only to put them into the stove,
and they will help make the house
comfortable.
While Mrs. Bennett" as the
neighbors humor Bennett by calling
the highly-ornate stick that passes
as his wife, has little to say, her
husband dresses her in the latest
fashions and has the best dress
maker in town to keep her up to
style.
His daughters hold receptions,
which the finest people here attend.
The sons are well-behavcd Young
fellows. and nothing has ever been
said against their habits in any way.
Mr. Bennett is not an insane man
by any means, but knows exactly
what he is doing and why he is do
ing it.-N. Y. Herald.

"Well, what about it?" asked the
