Must Live in Tent

Huron.-Every day some evi-
dence of the need Of more dwell
ing houses in this city is brought
before the attention Of the resi-.
dents. The scarcity Of tenement
houses, places rented rooms at a
premium, and at times it is i'm
possible to get even these.
The newest means for oyer
coming the difficulty Of getting
houses occurred to the mind of a
young man who has been work
ing on the Northwestern road
here. This gentleman and his
family are now living in two good
sized tents pitched on the corner
of Montana and Seventh streets
on a vacant lot. They have their
canvas house fitted up with all
the necessary comforts and now
that the weather is mild are ex-
periencing no inconvenience or
harhships from their out of door
life.
From all indications there will
| be more than one family residing
in a tent this summer, for there
is not a day that several new res.
idents do not reach Huron with
the intention of making this city
their home.

he has lost his fruit, he will get
enough of other crops to have a

Life Is a Funny Proposition.

Man comes into this world without
his consent and leaves it against his
will During his stay on earth his time
is spent in one continuous round of con-
traries and MISUNDERSTANDING by the
balance of his species. In his infancy
he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a
devil; in his manhood he is everything
from lizard up; in his duties he is a
fool; if he raises a family he is chump;
if he raises a small check he is a thief,
and then the law raises the devil with
him; if he is poor man he is a poor
manager and has no sense; if he rich he
dishonest, but considered smart; If
he is in politics he is a CRATER and a
crook; if he is out Of politics you can't
please him. as he is an undesirable citi-
zen; if he goes to church he is a hypo-
critic; if he stays away from church he
is a sinner and is damned; if he donates
to foreign missions he does it for show;
if he doesn't he is stingy. When he
first comes into the world everybody
wants to kiss HIM; before he goes out
they all want to kick him If he dies
young there was a great future before
him; If he lives to ripe old age he is
simply in the way and living to save
funeral expenses. Life is funny road,
but we all like to travel it just the
same.

COL. THEO. ROOSEVELT'S
AFRICAN BIC HUNT OVER
Expedition Has Now Sailed for Khar-
tOum-500 Specimens Secured.

From Gondokoro, Soudan, on the Up
per Nile, Colonel Roosevelt and others
of his immediate party sailed Monday
n the steamer Dial for Khartoum,
where they expect to arrive on March
Is. With their departure the African
scientific expedition under the auspices
Of the Smithsonian Institute of Wash
ington and led by the former president
of the United States was, for all prac-
teal purposes, brought to a close.
Colonel Roosevelt considers that the
killing Of the giant Glands in his recent
excursion along the upper reaches of
the Nile was a fitting end of a marvel
ously successful trip. The results gen
orally from the standpoint of the hunter
and the scientist have exceeded all ex-
pectations.
Colonel Roosevelt and his son Kermit
have killed some 800 specimens of large
mammals. The bag includes the fol
lowing:
Seventeen lions, II elephants, 10 buff
faloes. 10 BLACK rhinoceroses, 9 white
rhinoceroses, 9 hippopottaml, 9 girafres.
3 leopards, chetahs, giant Glands, 9
sables l sitatunga and , bongos.
All these were killed in the interest
Of science and the specimens will be
disposed Of accordingly the greater
number gong to the Smithsonian Insti-
tute Mr. Roosevelt will retain not
more than six trophies for himself.
From the point of Importance the
most highly priced game may be rated
as follows:
First, the giant Glands, the first com
plete speciman Of which family are now
being taken from the country: second,
the white rhinoceroses; third, the bon
Cos. the first to be stalked and killed by
a white man. fourth, the sitatunga, d
specie Of antelope
The naturaHsts secured a remarkable
collection, comprising many thousands
of birds and other mammals The re-
salts in TINS line have been most graft
fying. and science will be enriched by
several new and smaller mammals of
Africa The game taken and the col
lections made constitute a world rec
ord for a similar period Of hunting and
scientific research in Africa. and the
American museums VIII receive the
greatest collections Of African fauna in
existence. All agree that too much
praise cannot be accorded R. J. Cunning
hame, the Englishman whose manage
ment of the expedition was as nearly
perfect as could be conceived.
Colonel Roosevelt will now devote his
time to writing, including the prepare
ton Of the addresses which he is to de-
liver in Europe. lie will do no more
hunting unless during the trip down the
Nile chance throws in his way an OPP
portunity to secure some rare speci-
mems.

MANY FARMS HAVE
BEEN ABANDONED
Vast Areas Deserted for New Field II
Activity.

The idea prevails in some quarters
that, with the approaching end of free
land in the West, the era of abandoned
farms will be forever past in the United
States. Nothing could be more errone-
Gus. There never were more abandon
ed farms in the history of.the United
States than there are today.
There never was a period in the his
tory of the world-not excepting times
of war and famine-when such uniform
ly high prices ruled for farm products,
when the world demand was so uni
formly greater than the world supply;
and there never has been a period as
far as the United States is concerned
when there were so many abandoned
farms, when there existed such a uni
form deterioration in farm values, such
a uniform and persistent movement
away from the land to the town in the
sections of the country known as the
abandoned farm areas.
Take the United States as a whole
on the first of January, 1910, according
special returns gathered by the Consyr-
walton Commission, there Is, 900 square
miles of abandoned farms, ichiehy in
New England, New York, the South
east and the Middle Central States.
at present 10. 900, 600 acres of abandoned
farms an area the same as all that part
of the Canadian Northwest that is Gull
tivated, Is times the size of Rhode Is
land, four times the size of Connecticut,
twice the size Of Massachusetts,, twice
the size of New Jersey. Averaging up
all the farms of the United States, the
size per farm is 146 acres; SO that there
are enough abandoned farms to set up
20. 600 farmers Doesn't look very
much as if the abandoned farms were
decreasing, does it, though one hears
. general rumors to that effect constant
/ ly?
Take the abandoned farm areas by
sections-in New York State between
. 1880 and 1900 more than 1900 farms
were abandoned; more than 400, 900
people left the country for the
city; % agricultural districts showed a
decrease in the population. If New
York land were worked toits full capac-
ity it would support a population equal
to France. between 30. 600 600 and 40. 70

Pets are of all sorts. Onb Of the

caressing ways, It seemed as If 1t
possessed certain sense Of humor.
Says Ella:
'I used to take It's soft band and
examine its pretty nails. Each hand
had one long, sharp claw. Such q
curious arrangement puzzled me, un-
til one day a flea showed me the use
of that claw. It bit the lemur under
the ribs. expect the little beast had
reason to be thankful that nature had
spared one toe when II promoted 1t to
the order OF four-handed animals.
There never was a more charming

antics were 90 original. When my man
let him out of his cage in the morn

bedroom, look round with large eyes
trimming over with mild curiosity,
and. lightly as a rubber ball, spring to
my dressing table, where he would ex-
anime everything. Then he would
bound across the bed and land on my
shoulders, handle my ears gently, won
dering what was in the hole, and
thrusting in his long tongue to ind
out.
That was beyond human endurance,
and I would roll the little fellow into
a ball, wind his long, fully tail about
him, and fling him into the bed. He
would be unwound in moment. and
would skip away to explore some
more.
His hind legs being longer than his
fore, he walked slowly. with his head
down; but when In hurry he would
stand up and bound along like kan
