Ten years from now, instead of
kicking about automobiles using the
public roads. people will pay fancy
prices for farms lying along the pub
lie highways which have automobile
lines, and the big cars will pass to
and fro at regular intervals, picking
up passengers whenevr signalled and
delivering them at their destination
at a nominal fare The automobile is
destined to do ever more toward re-
moving the isolation of country
life than have the nterurban lines

another decade is ended will be put

HONIESTEADERS MAY LOSE
CLAIMS BY SELLING OUT

Spokane.-The department of the
interior has put BELLS on land spec
ulators by the recent decision that
people filing on land, and commut-
ing within fourteen months and then
leaving the land to be sold If pos
sible, may lose the land and their
rights. Only true homeseekers need
apply.
Even though proof offered shows
technical compliance with respect -
inhabitance of the land entered for
the period ordinarily required in COM
mutation cases, it must further be
shown that the entryman went to the
land to make it his permanent resi-
dence.
Residence within the meaning OF
the homestead law must be establish
ed and maintained with the intent to
make a permanent home upon the
land to the exclusion of home else
where. 1t cannot be acquired by mere
occupancy with a view solely to ac-
curing title by a colorado compli-
ance with the law, but actual resi-
dence must be maintained in good
faith with the intent to make 1t per-
manent. Such intent must be pres
ent at the intmation of every entry
whether the title is acquired after the
full period of residence prescribed by
law or at the expiration of the shorter
period under the commutation pro-
visions of the act.

This dreamland love was always
coupled with the name of another
woman-a buxom young maid of the
neighmorhood-and so Mrs. Wallace
went to South Dakota on divorce de-
termined.
Not long since two Pennsylvania
women went into court with the sad
declaration that their husbands had
ceased to love them. The cause? They
had grown too fat.
When a Mrs. Harbottle was grant
ed a divorce in South Dakota, the at
torney for the husband declared that
the only charge specified in the COM
plaint was that the neglectful man
had failed to pay for pair of corsets
which his wife had bought.
The especial tribulation that sorely
afflicted the soul of Mrs. Black, of
Chicago, was that her husband obliged
her to cut his long and silky mus
tache each morning.
A man in Milwaukee sought divorce
because his wife held her tongue re-
ligiously and refused to answer him,
even when he sought quarrel. One
in Pittsburg objected to the wife's
practic of going to club meetings and
leaving him to attend to the children
while a deserted one in Chicago as
serted that his wife left him because
he was bald-something he could not
help.
And so it goes.
Perhaps the quickest trip from the
altar to a divorce lawyers office Is
that recorded of young Pennsylva-
MIA woman, wha repented Of her ACT
fifteen minutes after the ceremony
had been performed and set out tc
seek legal separation.

This was decided upon as the pest
policy. The university officials, he
said did not wish to embarrass Dr.
Myers by calling a special meeting OF
the trustees to vote him out.

COLOMBIAN AFFAIRS
IN BOILING STATE

Panama.-Mail advlces received
dition of affairs in that republic. AS
the result of the departure of Presi-
dent Reyes for Europe the various
political parties, which few months
ago seemed united, are now complete
ly disorganzed, and there are indica-
tlons that Colombia is on the verge
of a great revolution.
The movement on July 4 at Bar
ranquilla was successful, the revolu-
tionists capturing the forts, the Mag
dalena river boats and the custom
houses. About so per cent of the inn
portations into Columbia pass through
Barranquilla, so that the revolution
lists will not lack for funds.
At first It was believed that the
movement was headed by a coalition
of conservatives and liberals but, 1t
is now learned that the liberals re-
fused to join in the rising which was
engineered by the ultra conservatives

as to how the movement has been ac-
cepted by the rest of Colombia, but
there are rumors that a serious situ-
alton exists at Bogota. There is a
rumor also that certain influential
Colombians are publicly in favor of
following Panama's example and con-
stitutlng a new republic to be form
ed of the departments Of Cauca and
Antioquia and part of Bolivar. Fears
are entertained by Colombians who
are inclined to peace that the situa-
ton will be beyond the control of
the president-deslgnate General
Holguin, who is, however, considered
probable that congress will not be
convened on July 20 as intended, as
It would be liable to elect a successor
to President Reyes, who under the
existing circumstances will not be
likely to satisfy all parties. The de-
sire of President Holgun and his ad-
visers is to do nothing that would
serve further to develop political pas
sions.

When DR.. H. w. Wiley, of pure

years ago that good bread would solVe
the American divorce problem he was

queer reasons given to courts oy seeA-
