DECISION
Late Ruling by the Board Of Law
Review on Homestead Com
mutations.

Inc following. iHktD from tne
Bad River, Is. d. News. relating
10 a recent decision from the
Board of Law Review of the Gen.
eral Land Office at Washington,
ID. G., will be of interest to all the
readers of the Sum
"The board of law review, the
highest judicial body Of the Gen.
eral Land office at Washington,
handed down a decision last week
that is likely to stir things up a
bit unless congress rushes to the
rescue and passes legislation that
will curtail the effect of the decis-
ion.
"The opinion lands on comma
%tation proofs pretty hard. 1t
simply announces for the first
time, in no doubtful terms, that a
party who takes homestead land
with the intention of residing
thereon fourteen months, making
the necessary improvements, and
cultivating the land as required
by law, will have his entry held
for cancellation, Strict compli
ance with the Communication law is
not enough. The surrounding
circumstances must be such as to
indicate that the party, when he
filed on the land, intended to
make final five year proof and
hold the land permanently as his
actual residence.
"In the case decided the party
had been on his land with the ex-
ception of two nights continuous
ly for fourteen months, he had
made substantial improvements,
and had nearly twenty acres un-
der cultivation, yet acts of the
party before filing and after prov
ing up indicated that he took the
land solely for the purpose of Sc
curing title, and never intended to
reside on the land after patent 1s-
sued. The entry was cancelled
entirely ON the ground that the
facts indicated that the entryman
had intended to commute and
leave the land from the first. :
at is announcing that under
the decision all communication
proofs, where patent has not been
issued, will be held for investiga
ton. If investigated a lot of peo-
pie who have hauled their trunks
to the train on the date of proof
and have pulled off other stunts
of that nature will have some
thing to think upon that may
worry them"

CHAPTER XVII.
Confessional.

But the cab was there; and within
it the girl was waiting for him.
The driver, after taking up his fare,
had at her direction drawn over to
the further curb, out of the fringe of
the rabble which besieged the ST..
Luke building in constantly growing
numbers, and through which Maitland.
too impatient to think of leaving by
the basement exit, had elbowed and
fought his way in an agony of appre-
hension that brooked no hinirance,
needed no difficulty.
He dashed round the corner, stopped
short with a sinking heart, then as
the cabby's signaling whip across the
street caught his eye, fairly hurled
himself to the other curb, pausing at
the wheel, breathless, lifted out of
himself with Joy to find her faithful
in this ultimate instance.
She was recovering. whose high spir.
it and recuperative powers were to
him then and always remained mar
velous thing; and she was bending
forth from the body of the hanson to
welcome him with a smile that in a
twinkling made radiant the world to
him who stood in gloomy side street

Of summers morning. good
hour and a half before the dawn.

RECIPES AT HAND
SIMPLE DEVICE THAT SAVES
MUCH TIME.
Veteran Housekeeper Explains Means
by Which She Is Never at a Loss
in Any Emergency That
May Arise.

An old houSekeeper said that at the
time of her marriage, years ago, she
was presented with hanging recipe
book, that was invaluable to her. ID
was fastened on the kitchen door, and
the leaves could be turned back and a
recipe found at a minutes notice.
Someone stole this treasure, and 1t
could never be replaced A friend,
knowing how 1t was missed, impro-
vised book that was even more Of a
treasure, as it had tried recipes from
sources that could not be found in any
printed book.
At a wholesale paper place she had
cut number of sheets of stiff yellow
paper that would not tear easily and
soils less than white paper These
were indented on one edge, as an al
phabeted book, but instead of letters,
the divisions were, Bread, Sauces,
Salads, Soups, Desserts, Left-overs,
Cheese Dishes, Sandwiches, Emergen-
cy Dishes, Invalid's Food, and so on.
Each housekeeper can make her divi-
sions to suit her special needs.
Each sheet was supplied with
recipes typewriter in purple ink on
white paper, the title being done in
caps in red ink. The recipes were
then grouped on the page, leaving r.
inch-wide margin at sides and bottom,
and two inches at the top to allow for
the sheets being thrown back. They
were pasted with photographers paste.
At the same place where the sheets
We're cut they had five holes punched
across the top of each sheet half.
inch below the upper edge. When
placed together red cords were run
through these holes, and the book
was fastened in five places to strip
of wood, supplied with FIVE screw
hooks opposite the cord loops. In this
way the book could be kept firm, yet
turned back like hanging calendar.
One of the groups that was invalu-
able both to housekeeper and maid
was entitled Table Service" Under
it was grouped the proper way to set
a table, down to smallest details;
rules Of service, and also suggestions
for table decoration for different occa-
sions. The housewife later added an
other list, including her own china
and the uses to which it was to be put
both for formal and informal occa-
sions.
Another useful grouping was Clean
ing Hints. These included trustworthy
recipes for doing over all sorts of
household belongings, washing laces,
muslins, spot removing, doing up fine
lingerie and renovations of every de-
scription.
Still another division was House
hold Helps, filed with useful sugges.
tions to tighten labor in every depart
ment of housekeeping.
BY tying the sheets together, in
stead of fastening them, new ones
could be added as needed To provide
for this emergency. with the book was
given a number of blank sheets, cut
the proper size and punched ready for
the pasted recipes.

Maitland tried to sOothe him. You'll
pull through this all right, and You
need never have gone to such lengths.

The ghost of sardonic smile fitted,
anonymously, across the dying mans
waXen, cherubic features.
"Oh, hell" he said; you wouldn't
understand. Perhaps you weren't born
with the right crook in your nature
or the wrong one. Perhaps it's be-
cause you can't see the fun in playing
the game. It's that that counts"
He compressed his lips, and after a
moment spoke again. You never did
have the true sportsman's love of the
game for its own sake. You're like
most of the rest of the crowd-content
with mighty cheap virtue, Dan.
don't know that I'd choose just this
kind of wind-up, but it's been fun

He did not speak again, but lay with
closed eyes.
Five minutes later Maitland rose
and unclasped the cold fingers from
about his own. With heavy sigh he
turned away.
At the door Hickey was awaiting
him. Yer lady," he said, as soon as
they had drawn apart from the crowd

been blind indeed had he failed to read
the promise in her eyes. Weary she

there is no tonic in all the world like
the consciousness that where one has

that she had suffered and endured, the

beneficent rapture, had deepened the
color in her cheeks and heightened
the glamour in her eyes.
And he stood and stared, knowing
that in all time to no man had ever

girl to him; a knowledge that robbed
his mind of all other thought and his
tongue of words, so that to her fell
the task of rousing him.
Please" she said gently-"please
tell the cabby to take me home, Mr..
Maitland"
He came to and in confusion STAN
mered: Yes, he would. And he
climbed up on the step with no other
thought than to seat himself at her
side and drive away forever. But
this time the cabby brought him to
his senses, forcing him to remember
that some measure Of conference was
demanded even of a man in love.
Where to, sir?"
"Eh, what? OH" And bending to
the girl: Home, you said-?"
She told him the address, num-
Der on Park avenue, above Thirty
fourth street, below Forty-second. He
| repeated it mechanically, unaware
I that it would remain stamped forever
on his memory, indelibly-the first
personal detail that she had granted
him; the first barrier down.
He sat down. The cab began to
move, and halted again. A face ap,
peared at the apron-Hickey's red
and moon-like and not lacking in com
placency; for the man counted on
profting variously by this nights

Hopi Marriage Ceremony Consists of
Washing the Head.

. Marriage among the Hopi, tribe of
the Pueblo Indians, Is an institution re-
garding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of a girl find, it expedient for her to
get married they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified, the girl
goes to the home of the bridegrooms
parents and grinds corn for them for
three weeks, while the bridegroom
makes a kind of sash for the bride.
Then one morning at sunrise they
both battle their heads in cold water,
which completes the ceremony.
There have been instances OF the
bridegroom refusing to go through the
performance, says writer in Outing

New ueaetahIe Knife.

One of the useful kitchen tools of
the housewife who likes daintily
served food is fiuted vegetable knife.
There are many varieties of this knife,
but convenient one has the fiuted
surface on the lower half and a plain
edge toward the point. ...sH

The friend looked awkward for a
moment, and then said:
You'll have to excuse me, old man,

Why, to tell you the truth. don't

To Keep Windows Free from Frost

To keep the windows free from frost
apply little glycerin on dry duster
and brilliant polish will result. This
is also an excellent remedy for pre-
venting windows from steaming if
rubbed on the inside of the glass after
the windows are cleaned. If little
kerosene oil is added to the water
used for cleaning purposes 1t will al
so give brilliant polish to the glass.
The brightness of the window panes
gives a cheerfulness to house that
it is impossible to acquire otherwise.
Dirty windows are signboards of q
