MAY KEEP HOMES.
Judge Pollock Decides for Defend
dants in School Land Cases.

The present occupants of Kansas
school lands will not be dispo ssessed
of their homes. In the famous school
land cases which were filed in the
United States circuit court, Judge
John c.. Pollock held late this after
noon for the defendants. The specula-
tors in the school lands lose.
The decision affects lands valued
at several hundred thousand dollars
and indirectly affects a large portion
of the entire western half Of the state.
The test case was founded on the
action of NJ. P. Beatty of Missouri
who purchased a large number of
certificates and the interest in the
original purchasers of school lands
who had defaulted in their payments,
the lands being subsequently sold over
again by the state to the present occu-
pants who have made in most in
stances valuable improvements.
Beatty brought suit against G. H. Will
son and a number of others, the de-
PENDANT in the test case being @. H.
Wilson who owns land in Decatur
county. George F. Beatty, Mulvane
and Gau1t, D. r. Hite were attorneys
for Beatty while Frank Doster and
Langmade and Caster were attorneys
for defendant. 2 s.

Helping With a Word.

The simple words brought quick
flush of pleasure to the wrinkled face

Largest Flower i'm the World.

Can you imagine blossom as
large as a carriage wheel? On the
island of Mindanao, one of the Phil
ippine group, was found by some ex-
plorers, such flower, says a writer.
Far up on the mountain of Parag,
$500 feet above the sea level, some
explorers were wandering, when they
came across some buds larger than
gigantic cabbage heads.
Greatly astonished, they searched
further, and presently discovered a
full-blown blossom, five petals, and
three feet in diameter. 1t was car
ried on low-lying, luxuriant vines.
The natives call it bolo. It was
found impossible to preserve it fresh,
so they photographed it, and kept
some dried petals to press, and by
improvised scales found that single
flower weighed twenty-five pounds.
1t was afterward found to be a
species Of Raff1esia, first found In
Sumatra, named after Sir Stamford
Raff1es. The new flower was called
Raftlesia Schalenburgia, in honor OF
its discoverer, DR.. Schalenburg.-

Gloomy weather makes little diff
ference to the man whose heart is
sunshiny. And the brightest day of
the season cannot let in light and
cheer to one whose heart is dark
ened. A keen nature-student writes:
"The real sorrows of life are not of
natures making; if faithlessness and
treachery and every sort of baseness
were taken out of human lives, we
should find only healthy and Wig
orous joy in such hardship as nature
imposes upon u.s." And even the
faithlessness of others cannot per-
manently darken the life of one who
lives in the friendship that never
fails. To begin and live and close
every day with that Friend is better
than to let spirits be controlled by
the barometer. Sunday School,
