ATHLETIC TRAINING.
To Acquire an Excess Of Muscle May
Provo Injurious.

To Acquire an Excess Of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
the idea that by period Of athletic
training man can lay in stock Of
health and strength upon which he can
draw later white rilsa,ed In seden-
tary occupation. The truth Is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
of the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them
When he stops the exercises by which
be gained them. instead of simply re-
turning to their original size they suf-
fer one or another Of the many forms
Of degeneration and become incapable
Of performing their original services.
1t is not quite true that all exercise
for Its own sake Is harmless. for 1t is
we'll to be prepared for the meeting Of
ufe's little emergencies as well as Its
ordinary and daily demands. but 1t
probably is true that. the emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself in the condi-
ton which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides Is
superduous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commendation OF athletics than an In
dictment OF our houses. Offices and
stores for lack of adequate ventilation.
II all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along well enough with
out any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants to do and should do
has all the muscle he ought to have.
To acquire more IL silly waste Of
time and perilous besides-New YORK

WOULD MEAN A BIG CHANGE.
Commissioner Bennett Makes Sug.
gestions Of Revlsions Believed
to be Desirable.

Fred Bennett, commissioner of the
general land office, recommends the
communication law be changed from
fourteen months to three years. The
recommendation is made in his an.
nual report, lin which he expresses
the belief that the small area of land
now left in this country open to set
tiers should be settled by people who
intend to make it their permanent
home and assist in settling up the
country.
|, The government does not merely
want to get rid Of the land, but it
wants it settled up, and Mr.. Bennett
believes the only practical method will
be to repeal the Communication law and
lengthen the time, and that by doing
this 1t will have a tendency to lessen
the number Of homesteads taken by
people for speculation, leaving more
chance for people desirous OF building
up q permanent home and settling up
the country. { {
Commissioner Bennett believes,
further, that the law should be
changed SO that no man can prove up
unless he has become a full citizen Of
the United States. Foreigners, he
says, can, by the present law, declare
their intention to become citizens
make entry upon public land, prove
up, mortgage the land and then leave
the country. 5s
A consolidation of the Offices of
commissioner and receiver is also adj
yocated in the commissioners report.
A:great saving Of money would be the
result If the two Offices were com-
bined and the work could be performed
in q more satisfactory manner than II
Is at present cording to Mr.. Bennett.

which have caused them to live apart.
At each separation there has been .
division of property, but eventually
they would return and live together.
The evidence is very complicated and
the Judge desires. to give 1t due con-
sideration before rendering an opinion.

result q bill is now before congress.
The application for extension was
made by numerous parties who felt
called upon to secure leniency In the
matter SO as to prevent hardship and
suffering among entrymen espe-
cially. The proposition was given in
detail in these columns exclusively
two weeks ago. d. G. Kicker is now
in receipt Of letters from both con-
gressmen, containing information of
more than passing interest in the
matter. Mr.. Martin says:
II have taken this subject up with
the department Of the interior. There
is no authority in the commissioner
Of the general land Office to issue any
circular excusing homesteaders from
remaining on their lands. At the
same time, where one is prevented by
serious conditions of weather or SINH
lar kind, the department almost uni
formly excuses such persons until
conditions will permit Of their return.
1t may be possible to pass congress
sional act extending the time for set
tiers to establish their residence until
the first Of April or perhaps the first
of May. / will prepare bill Of this
kind and make an effort to pass 1t
promptly. Iconferred with Mr.. Mon
nell upon the subject and he will CO.
operate. This would Of course only
affect settlers who have not yet en-
tered upon their lands. AS to those
who have already settled, think 1t
would be difficult to get any legisla-
tion. They would, however, run No
serious risk by being away during the
severe weather Of winter" On the
same subject Congressman Burke says:
~ note what you say about the set-
tiers In Meade, Butte, Harding and
Perkins counties, and the suffering
that will entail unless they are granted
an extension Of time to establish boni
fide residence upon their claims. 1t
may require congressional action, but
in any event l will take 1t up with
Mr.. Martin and we will cooperate
with a view of doing something to re
lieve the situation"
In line with suggestions contained
in the various letters received, on De
cember 81, Mr.. Martin introduced tht
following bill which has been::referred
to the committee on public lands anC
ordered printed:
"a bill extending the time for Ger
tain homesteaders to establish resi-
dence upon their lands.
"Be it enacted by the senate ant
house Of representatives of the. United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, that homestead entrymen in thu
States Of South Dakota, North Da
kota, Montana and Wyoming, who ar,
required to establish residence OF
their claims, under the regulation
and rules of the interior department
during the months of December, nine

four months of the year nineteel

an extension of time for that purpos
