club, which in turn represents the
homesteaders in the districts tributary
to Caldwell, desire to briefly state the
difficulties under which our people
labor, to ask some questions, and to
respectfully request that you give the
matters represented herein your care
full consideration.
A homesteader files on 80 acres. He
makes his first water payment to the
government. Upon the second pay
ment being due he ia unable to meet
it. He ha sto relinquish 40 acre back
to the government. Does he lose the
water payment made on the 40 acres
relinquished? Is it right that he
should? Could such payment be ar
ranged to apply on his next payment
due on 40 retained?
The settlers here will find it hard,
and in many cases impossible, to pay
more than $500 year per acre, in adj
dition to the maintenance charge for
water. The law at present makes ten
yearly payments. We respectfully ask
your consideration of this matter with
view to your recommending to con-
CESS that the time be extended into
such number of payments as will make
the amount practically $500 per year,
plus maintenance.
The adjustment of the farm unit by
clerks unfamiliar with local conditions
works, in many cases, to the grave
detriment of the settler. We respect
fully present for your consideration

Female Testers.

Nothing better illustrates the
dullness of society in the middle
ages than the custom used by all
high placed and wealthy persons of
keeping a professional jester, nor
was it confined to Christendom, for
We read that Cortes found an indi-
vidusl of this profession at the
court of Montezuma. Our modern
clowns, though very different from
the licensed testers of old, owe to
them, of course, their origin. But
so far as is known the female jester,
who was in vogue before the male,
has no present representative. We
are told by Erasmus that in all the
great inns on the contNent there
was in his time a female official of
this description who enlivened the
company as she waited at table by
witticisms and repartee. 1t should
be added, however, that she was
generally young and pretty. So late
as 1853 we read in Mrs. Hornby's
Travels" that she found a female
jester at Constantinople who was
exceedingly amusing.

ANTIQUITY OF CHESS.
Origin In the Far East-yHarriors Who
Were Fond Of Game.

NNN|Fu ~ hN|# " - @A4A-N 8FTtoI1 VIM
Were Fond Of Game.
Chess stands out separate and
distinct from all other games. It's
ambiguity counts for much. No
body knows how old the game is or
who invented it, but its origin was
in the far east.
There are-good grounds for say
ing that Charles the Great played
chess, and from this time onward
through the centuries the game
must have been constantly played
among the knights and courtiers of
the west. John of Salisbury, the
historian, tells of an Incident that
occurred some 800 years later than
Charlemagne.
In the stress of battle between
French and English the game of
chess was not forgotten. An Eng
lish knight seized the bride of King
Louis lie Gros and cried to his com
rades, 'The king is takenp Louis,
notwithstanding his carnal incum-
brance, more than equal to the
English knight, struck him to the
ground, exclaiming, 'Know, Sir
Knight, that at chess the king is
never takenp
At the very same time in the
mysterious empire of the far east it
was a daily custom of the heir of
the Caesars, after spending sleep
less nights in thinking how he could
repel the hordes of the Mohammed-
ans and maintain the cross against
the crescent, morning after morn
ing to collect around him his court
iers and friends to expel those
cares which made his nights uneasy
by the royal game of chess. So re-
cords Anna Commend of her i'm
perial father, whom she loved and
served so well.
At the time of the renaissance
chess was much played in the high
est Italian society. Pope Leo X.
delighted in the game and himself
possessed set of silver chessmen.
And as the game is of immemorial
antiquity, so its virtues will main
tain it so long as the world shall
last. The first book printed by
Caxton in the English language was
"The Game and Playe of the
Cheese. Treasury Magazine.

A Lucky Answer.

. A famous animal painter says
that when he was a boy he once
witnessed a fight between two dogs,
one of which belonged to an. Irish
man who was a retired prizefghter.
The Irishman's dog was badly beat
en-, and the fact was a source of
deep chagrin to the owner. He was
very jealous of his dogs record, but
as only he and the painter had seen
the fight, ne asked the latter in
decidedly significant way which of
the dogs won.
"Why," was the reply, 'your dog
won, of course. He was underneath
the other dog, but he was chewing
the life out of the cur all the time"
"That's roight," said the Irish
man. "You have saved your loife."

The Poor Mothsr-in.Iax.

A Turkish paper tells this story:
'Tbrahim Effendi, to whom thingS
happened, did you perchance hear
of the things? The effendi was
crossing a river, bearing with him
his mother-in-law and bag of gold,
his savings. Then rose the flood,
which wrecked the vessel, and Ibra-
him knew not at first which to save,
the gold or his relative. Then, hav-
ing taken counsel with himself,
thought Ibrahim and spake: My
gold will l save, for where can I
get more gold? But Allah to me
will give all the mothers-in-law
that l need and perhaps more

and all the Turks said that he was

No, Taking Him.

A small negro boy was going
along the street carrying turtle by
the tail when a ventriloquist stand
ing near threw his voice over to the
turtle and seemed to make it say,
"Where is you all goin' with me ?"
The little negro heard the question
and looked around with astonish-
ment, but, not being entirely salts
fed as to where the voice came
from, walked on. Again the ventril-
oquist threw his voice over to the
turtle and said, 81 say, where is you
all a-takin' meY
This time the boy was satisfied
that the turtle had been gifted with
a miraculous power of speech and
instantly dropped it on the side

The Power of Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm is one magnet of
power. You must fire every event
with it, touch thoughts and acts
with it.. 1t will transmute dross
into gold, drudgery into delight.
What matters if the soul which
lives beside you is cold and selfish ?
Set him a good example! Joy is
sunshine, and he will feel it. Every
irksome task is a chance for power,
for the qualities which they bring
out are Gods gifts which fit US to
enjoy better things. Easy things
will come if you have spent your
hearts blood on gaining strength,
for the very goal of power is the
ease which comes from strength.
We laugh at things and people who
used to COW or annoy US. We do
gracefully and swiftly the tasks
once SO hard. One by one we have
nnriveted our chains. We are free !

The Clever Weaver Bird.

An interesting bird is the "weav-
er." 1t seems to be fond of max
ing enormous nests merely for the
purpose of exercise in the art of
construction. Supply these birds
with strings and straw, and they
will use them up rapidly, and their
fabric is woven with a perfectness
that is astonishing. In some coun-
tries it is the custom of the weaver
birds to colonize and build one big
fat topped platform, two or three
yards across, which is so admirably
put together as to shed the rain as
well as any roof could do. Under
this roof they make individual pock-
ct shaped nests, bringing up under
this unique structure a large and
interesting family of little weavers.
There is another bird, called the
tailor" which, instead of weaving
its nest, incloses it in big leaves and
stitches the latter together with
plant fibers, just as one would sew a
piece of cloth.

Chinese v,orshin Of Ancestors.

The one spiritual force fhat DOM
mates every class Of society in Chi
ma is ancestor worship. In the Chi
nese religion there is no other that
can take its place for a moment. A
man may or may not worship idols.
He may express his utter skeptic-
ism about them or profess belief in
them. No one cares what he
thinks. Let him, however, neglect
the worship of the dead and he is
looked upon and pointed to with
the bitterest scorn both by his own
relations and by his neighbors. The
worst taunt that the heather can
hurl against the Christian, and the
one that stings him most, is the
sneering statement that he has no
ancestors.-New York Tribune.

Many quaint marriage customs
still survive in some old English
and Scottish families. One notable
tradition Of this sort still kept
green BY the Dukes Of AthoIl and
their heirs, says the London Lady's
Realm, is that Of the bridegroom
carrying the bride across the thresh-
old Of Blair castle, it being in &C
cord with an ancient tradition that
it is unlucky for a bride who enters
the castle for the first time to walk
in the ordinary way. This is only
one Of the many quaint old feudal
customs that are observed upon this
estate, which the Duke Of Atholl
holds from the crown by one of
those strange tenures which are oc-
casionally to be found in Great
Britain. Upon fear of forfeiture
the owner has to present his SOW
ereign with a white rose whenever
he or she visits the castle.
