For many years most people
considered themselves lucky If
they could get any kind of posi-
ton under the civil service rules
of the United States. In such a
position, they would be working
for the government and any kind
of a government job has always
been considered by those outside
as being more or less of soft
snap. On account of this desire
to get into the government en-
ploy there was formerly no
scarcity of applicants for civil
service examinations, no matter
what the position was to be.
Bat this has all been changed
during the last few years of pros
perity in this country. The civil
service commission can advertise
the examinations and send out
notices galore, but the applicants
are few and far between. People
seem to have concluded that they
can do better in business for
themselves or else in the employ
of a big private company than
working for Uncle Sam. Most
of the so-called snaps offered by
the government civil service COM
: mission are now going begging
and the authorities are finding it
a difficult task to keep enough
men in the service. Many
reasons there are for this change
and the greatest in all probability
is the great uprosperity of the
country and the fact that the
men of all classes have plenty of
money or good positions that
bring them more than those
which the government offers.
Another reason is that the ma
jority of people who would be
eligible for the civil service
positions keep out of it because
they think there is so little
chance of promotion.

No More Second Homestead Entries.

A press dispatch from Wash
ington, dated June Is, 1907,
states that the general land Office
with the approval of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, has issued
an order against the allowance
of second homestead entry by
any person who forfeited their
entry subsequent to April %,
1904. The following is the press
dispatch:
Washington, d. c., June 49,
1.-The general land Office, with
the approval of the secretary of
the interior, has issued circular
to the local land Offices and the
public generally relating to the
matter of allowance of second
homestead entries. The only
general law under which second
homestead entries may be allow
ed is that of April %, 1904,
which is only APPLICABLE to those
parties who made and lost, for
feited or abandoned their entries
prior to the date of the act be-
cause of an honest mistake as to
the character of the land or un.
avoidable complication of person
al or business affairs. Full in
structions are given in the circu.
lar as to the proofs which must
be submitted by those who be.
lieve themselves entitled tc
second homestead entries. The
department holds that it is with
out authority to allow second
entries to those who forfeited
their entries subsequent to April
%, 1904, or to allow SECOND
homestead entry in any case
where valid, original entry was
made in the absence of legisla
ton expressly authorizing SECOND
homestead entries"

No Wonder It's SPREADING.

A man residing in the south
part of Auburn, Neb., had a COW
which the veterinarian ordered
killed because of having tubercu-
losis. Upon investigation of the
body ii was found that the lungs
of the animal were in very bad
condition. Large ulcers had
formed in many places. The
man owning the COW had been
selling to three families for some
time.

Henry Clews, the New York
inancier, has solution of the
problem to prevent watered stock
by the railroads. He suggests a
salaried government official on
the directorate of each railroad,
whose duty it shall be to act as a
watch dog and report stock issues
to the interstate commerce COM
mission. That's more ''regu-
lation" than the most rabid

gested.

The manufacturers of steel
rails have promised to make a
better quality of goods. Some
people claim the fault is with
the railroads for having too large
engines and cars. There is no
reason why the strength of the
rails cannot be increased in the
same ratio as the weight of the
load it has to sustain. That's
what rails are for. The general
public is forming its own opinion
as to the causes of the numerous
wrecks, and there will be a time
for "evening up"-some of these
days.

There are merchants who insist
that newspaper advertising is of
no benefit. In fact, they
don't want 10 advertise in
any manner, they say. These
Same men, however, are always
anxious to locate on the best

a sufficient fund to send a team

Other countries make grants tc ath-

HANLON UP A TREE.

Roy Hit, the star pitcher cf the
Pacific Coast league and a member Of
the San Francisco team. has refused
point blank to sign with the Cincin-
natl club, which purchased his release
about the middle Of last season. Garry
Hermann sent contract to Hit not
long ago. and was recently advised by
Denny Long that the player would sign
It. But Hit has suddenly decided that
he wants TO remain en- the coast.
which probably means that he wants
more salary than Hermann has agreed
to pay. Hit is q Iefthander. and a
good one. He was drafted by the New
York Americans year ago last fall,
but was finally permitted to remain in
California. As Jake Weimer. Cinein-
MATHS star southpaw. has also refused
to sign because of chance to play in
dependent ball in Chicago, Hanlcn is
