/ Apparently just to fill space and
regardless whether the articles OBJ
tanned from their correspondents have
an atom of truth in them or not, sew
eral of our leading daily papers give
space to articles now and again which
often cause much needless trouble
Such was the case last week when
daily papers published an article in
reference to U. S. Commissioner Keig-
ley of Quincy, of whom not a detri-
mental word can be said unless it is
a pure invention. Like truly honest
men, Mr.. Keigley was not perturbed
in the least in regard to the article,
but it is no more than fair that the
papers who have tried to malign him
should make some restitution. The
following is the truth of the case.
! "Myron L. Frost made application
for H. E. at U. S. Commissioner Keig-
ley's Office, January 81, 1908, for a
tract of land south east of Quincy,
in Douglas county. Frost presented
a REIMBURSEMENT signed by Arthur
Jensen the former entryman.
Mr.. Keigley, after receiving
Frosts application, laid same aside,
as he had other urgent matters to at
tend to. When he afterwards, that
| day, began preparing Frosts' applica-
! ton for mailing to the North va
kima Land office, he discovered that
the REIMBURSEMENT, which had been
! presented, was not dated. VIM. Rag
less, notary public at Quincy had
made the acknowledgment of the Jen-
sen REIMBURSEMENT, which Frost had
presented, and Keigley, believing that
Mr.. Ragless had unknowingly failed
to date the REIMBURSEMENT, held same
until January 80, when Mr.. Ragless
returned from trip out in the coun-
try, and Immediately presented same
for completion. Mr.. Ragless refused
to complete same as he had purpose
ly left the REIMBURSEMENT incomplete
as Jensen had not paid him for his
work. Mr.. Keigley Immediately
mailed the Frost papers to the land
Office "a Yakima. 1t seems that Mr.
Ragless, with one, Michael Kron-
holm, were out looking at the same
tract of land on which Frost made
homestead entry, and as soon as they
returned to Quincy and learned that
an application was made for home
stead, Kronholm made out a contest
affidavit, which he mailed to C. H.
Human of North Yakima. Both
Frost's application and Kronholm's
affidavit went on the same mail.
Kronholm telegraphed Mr. Human
to be at the postoffice and have the
contest filed before the homestead
application, which was done. Frost
afterwards filed an affidavit and a
hearing was ordered before the Reg
ieter at North Yakima, set and heard
on April 10. After the hearing sew
eral newspapers contained articles
relative to the case, charging Mr.
5eigley with giving inside informa-
Len and fraud. These reports came
70. The notice of Edward Whitson,
iga of the Eastern District of
= ',ington, and Special Agent Leach
was directed to investigate the mat |
ter.

The lrishman's Prayer.

An Irish member of a gang Of
strike-breakers who were passing their
first night in one of the buildings Of
a certain Chicago beef company, not
long ago, had knelt in prayer at the
side of one of the long line of cots
just before retiring for the night,
when suddenly a shoe sailed through
the air and landed Oh the bed In front
of him.
Raising his eyes until they rested
on this leather missile, the religious
Celt broke off praying long enough to
reach out and draw the shoe to him.
Then in loud. fervent tones he con-
cluded his prayer:

THE COUNTRY GIRL IN TOWN.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright, 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

She is coming to the city-alole.
In the country nothing occurs. Life
Is about the same every day. And
the girl has not yet learned that the
greatest boon In life is to be content
and that the quiet places are the best.
1t is the monotony that tires her, she
thinks. The same faces are to be seen
at the church every Sunday and at the
picnics. She knows this one as Bill"
and that one as Sarah" Familiarity
has bred contempt And over all the
countryside is the never varying look
Of things. The familiar has grown
trite and finally distasteful.
But yonder in the city!
All, everything happens in the ethyl
There are plenty of new faces there.
The scenes change like those of
kaleidoscope. Lots of new sensations
In the city! Its air is tonic. Surely
life must be fuller there.
The girl is young and innocent. In
her inexperience she dreams fanciful
dreams. Perhaps she is ambitious to
get on in the world, or impatient of
restraint, or she is lured by the
glamour of the town. She does not
realize how safe is the sheltered life
she has always lived In the quiet
neighborhood.
Poor girl
She does not realize the fact that
her very virtues under strong tempta-
ton may lead to her betrayal Of her
self She does not appreciate the fact
that her very gentleness of nature pre-
vents her bringing to bear upon the
deceitful tempter the force of scorn
which the sophisticated can summon
to their aid. She does not know her
own weaknesses.
Poor lassie!
Her loving disposition does not hard
~ know how to deny. Her sweet IN
selfishness scarcely is able to refuse.
Every best quality of her being may
lead to her undoing.
Because
Where the defenseless chicken strays,
over that place circles the cruel hawk
and swoops upon its prey.
Poor girl.
If she falls into the wrong set of as
sociates and there is no one by her side
to warn and guide, God help the child.
If, on the other hand, she is strong
| of character, wary, capable of restraint
| and self reliant, she will take care OF
herself and rise above the undercur.
rents of temptation.

Holland Has Cheese Carriers, Guild

The cheese carriers of Holland form
a very ancient and exclusive guild, and
no one who is not extremely clean in
his habits and spotlessly white in
dress would have the slightest chance
of getting employment in the guild
The cheese markets. which are held
once a week during the summer in
the principal towns of north Holland,
bring an element of gayety in the
lives Of the farmers, their wives and
daughters, who always don their very
best and wear all their gold ornaments
and pearls for the occasion. At the
same time the shopping for the whole
week is done and carried back to the
farms in the empty cheese carts. The
May cheese, which is brought to mar
ket in June, is said to be the very
best and choicest.
