THE LAND GRAB.

Uncle Sam put lands into the hands
of railroad and wagon road pro
motors nearly 40 years ago, on condition
that they should sell them to settlers
for not more than $3.50 an acre and take
the money for their own. But now the
promoters and their successors claim
ownership of the land and spurn the
$3.50. That's nerve and gall, isn't it

A Slight misunderstanding.

to see printed in a newspaper a glow
ing testimonial as to the benefit to be
derived from using somebody's Cure

located near his own, and he dropped
in while out to lunch.
See here" he remarked, somewhat
forcefully, when in the presence of
the manager; you have printed a tes-
tfmonial allegedly from me with re-
gard to your COMPOUNDED stuff-and
never took a drop of it in my life
What do you mean by such pro-
cedure?"

derstanding, I assure you, sir, for
which I am very sorry. You see, we

How to catch a Millionaire.

FATHER ALLEGED UNFIT
To CARE FOR HIS CHILD

Judge Robinson continued the Lucia
Freitas habeas corpus hearing until
Thursday at 2 p. m. An amended re-
turn has been made by the respond
ents, Paulo Rodrigues and Antoine Rod
rfgues. They admit that they are not
the natural guardians of the child, but
say that her father, Frederick Freitas,
is not a fit and proper person to have
her care and custody because he is ex-
cessively addicted to the use of liquor
and is frequenter of questionable
houses. They say his income is only
$25 a month, from which he is COM
PEELED to support two minor children
and himself.
On the other hand, Antoine Rodrigues,
the child's grandfather, has an income
of more than 1928 a month and is will
ing, anxious and ready to place the
child in the Convent of the Sacred
Hearts, and make provision for her
keeping and education until she comes
of age. They disclaim any intention
to ALLEVIATE the natural affections
child should bear to it's parents.

AIRSHIP ESCAPES.
The Patrie Breaks Away from French
 Soldiers in a Gale.

Paris, December 2.--News concerning the runaway airship Patrie was collected in a dispatch from London, that dirigi- ble balloon believed to be the Patrie, had been sighted in Wales Sunday. rms was not accepted as conclusive by the French officials, who have inaugurated an elaborate hunt with warships and au- tomobiles for the missing balloon.
 The dramatic disappearance of the Pa tric has created consternation. Details of it's escape show that the airship got away only after desperate efforts had been made by 200 soldiers to hold her to earth. The Fairies motor was being re- paired in the suburbs of Verdun, prepara- tory to making trip. Suddenly gale descended and, sweeping under the ship s stern, threw the vessel upward.
 The soldiers held on grimly and were ragged 15O yards or more, but finally all were forced to abandon their efforts to prevent being carried away.
 Relieved of the weight, the Patrie shot up into space and disappeared in the darkness One of the officers, describing the scene, said:
 'She plunged away like huge fish, en- dowed with giant strength. Then she scared heavenward and in moment was eaten up in the blackness.'

May Postpone Trial.

New York, December 1.-The sec ond trial of Harry K Thaw will be called in the supreme court here to- morrow, but it is generally believed that there will be a postponement of the case to some time in January. Dis trict Attorney Jerome will request that such action be taken Martin W. Mid dleton, the new counsel for Thaw, has announced that he will oppose the mo- tion. This is done at Thaw's per soual direction, the prisoner being i'm patient, as usual to have his day in court. Difficulty in securing jury is anticipated and Mir. Jerome believes it would be practically useless to try to empanel 12 men at this time. Each juror would be confronted by the pros pect of spending Christmas at some hotel, the guest of the county. The district attorney will also base his motion on the press of other work to which he declares preference over the Tbaw case should be given.
