PuIIman's Giant Passenger.

There was one story of his career
that Mr.. Pullman used to tell with
manifest delight One night, going
out of Chicago, long lean, ugly man,
with a wart ON his cheek, came into
the depot. He paid George M. Pull
man so cents, and half a berth was
assigned him. Then he kicked off his
boots, which were of surprising length,
turned into the berth and, having an
healthy baby before the car left the
depot Along came another passenger
and paid his 80 cents. In two minutes
he was back at George Pullman.
"There's a man in that berth of
mine,' said he holly, land he's about
ten feet high. How am 1 going to
sleep there, I'd like to know? Go and
look at him."
In went Pullman-mad too. The tall,
tank mans knees were under his chin,
his arms were stretched across the
bed, and his feet were stored comfort
ably-for him. Pullman shook him
until he awoke and then told him if he
wanted the whole berth he would have
% pay ST.
'NIy defa. sir" said the tall man, "a
contract is contract. have paid you
so cents for half this berth. and, as
you see, I am occupying it. There's
the other half" pointing to a strip
about six inches wide. ''Sell that and
don't disturb me again." And, so say
ing, the man with the wart on his face
went to sleep again. He was Abraham
Lincoln.

For a week Rowena had been fat
hunting, climbing endless fights of
stairs and interviewing a seemingly
endless line ~of real estate agents. and
janitors. Each morning she set out
blithely, and each evening she came
back fatigued and disheartened. 1.-THE
price we want to pay and the kind of
an apartment we would like don't seem
to fit together she walled, recounting
her adventures to Molly and Grace at
nightfall. And this particular day prov
ed no exception to the rule. By II
O'clock in the morning she had tramp
ed miles and found nothing suita bic.

like a ray Of hope to Ter detected spir-
its.
"Yes'm," said he of the trim suit
and brass buttons.
I'D like to look at one on the third
floor" said Rowena, smiling on him.
Rowena's smile was one of her chief
charms. It lighted up her piquant face
and showed dimple lurking in her
cheek. It would captivate any one
from king to an elevator boy.
The third floor of the Edgemere
proved desirable from every point of
view. Rowena was delighted. "And
all for $50 month"; she breathed.
The boy gaped at her. Fifty dol
lars!" he scoffed "Why, these here
apartments rents for hundred and
fifty"

tainly mistaken. The paper said''-
She opened her pocketbook, found the
clipping and showed it to him. He
shook his head.
''Misprint, lady, he answered. "They

"Sure, that's just what I've been
telling this gentleman" said neat
looking scrubwoman suddenly appear
ing in the doorway. Behind her tow
cred fair haired young fellow, broad
Of shoulder and firm of chin. He stared
at Rowena for an instant.
- "Why, Miss Holden" he cried, with
a boyish laugh Of pleasure, "are you
on the trail too?''
81 should think you'd know It at first
glance" said Rowena tragicaIly. "My
sisters tell me that my face has taken

hunter-a look of grim despair that is
rnmistakable."
Dwight Curtis laughed again.

In Favor Of Publicity.

Walhalla Mountaineer: Next to
the fool two cent a mile law which
has been occupying the attention Of
our esteemed legislature for two
months past, is perhaps, the PROPOSE
ton to do. away with publicity meas
ures cutting out Of publishing
of insurance statements, Of school
treasurer statements, the cutting
down of county official newspapers
from three to one and opening the
doors of competition to foreign print
ing establishments all smack Of
short sightedness common only to-
men who have had no business ex-.
perience and whose scheme Of eco
nomics is a simple theory that expe-
rience exploded century ago.
And it is the insurgent-de mocrat
element that is responsible for this
sentiment-the very element that
asked support for it's candidates on
the grounds that publicity was the.
safeguard and redemption Of the
( country. Nine out Of ten Of the.
men elected to both houses Of the
Legislature owe their elevation to
the newspapers. The state Of North
Dakota owes its progress and devel-
opment to the newspapers of the
state, Of which a half dozen only
can be said to have made more than
low interest on their Investment.

GOVERNMENTS CARE OF
WESTERN COAL LANDS

The wisdom of demanding for the
people a fair price for their coal by
an equable leasing system has crys-
tallized into a bill, carefully pre-.
pared by the experts of the admins
tration. The only hardship 50 far
introduced by this new departure has
been the tying up from settlement Of
large areas of land where the sur
face is still suited to agriculture.
The new legislation contemp1ates
only holding fast to the coal under
these lands. 1t allows the surface to
be pre-empted under the homestead
law, but obliges the surface owner to
permit the development Of the coal
underneath, under wise laws. G
But the master stroke in this
achievement reaches further, in two
directions. 1t forms the third essen
tial element the final necessary ell
ement, in the development Of the
West. Quietly, but efficiently did
the president promote the geological
surveys reclamation system, which
in its many projects outstrips the i'm
portance Of the Panama canal. AT
the same time the president threw
| the whole weight of his national pop-
ularity to the aid Of wisely planned
forest service, which is broad enough,
for the entire country, and is bring
ing back popularity to the president
and to Pinchot, with interest. This
third administrative act, not only
nurntured but bred by the president
la1one, insures fuel enough for the
manufacturing development of the
West. More than this, it suggests
the necessary change In the mining
law which shall make it the effectuai
supplement of the homestead act in
the development Of individual EFFORT

GERS have quarters in the town that
lis houses have been rented by the
government and we all live in the

the Cuban people are surely enjoying
a good time. They are pleasure
loving people and like display. There
are a great many balls, some mas
querades and much driving about the
streets, throwing confetti, etc.
never saw people enjoying anything
more thoroughly than they are en-
joying this carnival.
We have been out to see one sugar
plantation, during the sugar making
season, and found it quite interest

on the bay and some launch trips.
The people here have been nice; to
us, and invite us to their homes quite
often. Il

FOR RELIEF OF SETTLERS

In his correspond ence to the Fargo
Forum, under date of Feb. q q, Col.
Lounsberry, who is in the general
land Office at Washing ton, says:
81 intimated recently that some
thing might done that would coun-5
teract the requirement in the secre-
tary's recent order requiring pay
ment in committed homestead en-
tries, and other cash entries of pub
lie lands, to be taken up on the un-
earned moneys account. The house
passed a bill providing for the dispo-
sition of that class of money, requir-.
ing it's deposit in the United States
treasury. The senate so amended
that entryman shall not make cash
entry until the same shall have been
approved by the register and receiv7
er, but such payment shall be made
within ten days after notice of such
approval Senator Hansbrough hav-
ing failed to secure executive action
to accomplish this result, sevured the
amendment on the bill mentioned.
It passed the senate today and now
goes to the house for concurrence. Z
Inasmuch as the cash entries are
likely to be held up for many months
until actual inspection can be made
in the field, and title cannot pass to
the entryman until such examination
is made, the existing rule would be
very great hardship, which con-
gress will have relieved if this meas
ure becomes a law, as it probably
will, for there is no provision Of law
for the disposition Of the unearned
money, and this bill is intended to
remedy the defect - Il
Under date of Feb. 26th the ques-
ton of differences between the two
houses was considered by conference
comittee Messrs. Hansbrough, Mel
son and McLourin on the part of the
senate and Messrs. Lacey, Granna
and Burnett on the part of the house
and the following provision was
agreed to, which was accepted by
both houses: IL
Provided, that no homestead en-
tryman shall be required to make
payment of the purchase money on
any application to make coal en-
try until the some shall have been
approved by the register and record
er, but such payment shall be made
within ten days after notice of such
APPROVAL" .5s
Under this amendment homestead
commuters are relieved from pay
ment of the Communication money un-5
till their applications to make cash
entry shall have been approved by
the registers and receivers of the To-
cal land Offices, and that notice Of
such approval shall be given and,
payment made within ten days after
such notice, instead of depositfng,
] the cash at the time of making final.
communication proofs, as at present.
This provision will undoubtedly be-
come law.
