Law and the Queen.

The uuailltness of many provisions
of British Law is euriOusly Illustrated
in the status Of the queen Of England.
SO far as her m;..iesty's private bust
ness is concerned. She is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as married woman 1T AL. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope Of the mar
ried wonan's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs Of state CON
sumo all the time Of the king. and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts In
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them. as any other
husband III the United Kingdom would.
The King cannot be sued for debt. but
the queen can DC. Should the king die,
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. in case she

IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DECISION.

The general land Office has reversed
the land office at Great Fails III the
case involving the homestead entry Of
Miss Ida Stoneman. a school teacher,
and inst ructi0ns have been issued for
the issuance of the final certificate.
The contest WAS brought in Febru-
airy, 1908, against the entry on the re-
port of special government agents, Oh
the charge that the entry woman had
never established or maintained a
residence On the land
The defendant filed 4 denial Of the
charges and demanded !: hearing. The
contest was heard December %, 1909
which resulted in All adverse opinion
by the Great Falls land Office officials.
Agents for the government testified
that the cabin on the entry was not
habitable and that il had all the APP
pe;:rauce of being deserted. and it was
found by tia register and receiver
that the claimant did establish her
residence on the entry, but they held
lIlul Slit HUI llOl II.
1t was brought out in the testimony
for the claimant that she had been
teaching school about six miles from
the homestead and that she had stay
ed in the cabin during vacations and
also on sundays.
The general land office i'll reversing
the decision maintains that the testi-
mony considered in its entirety shows
beyond a doubt that the claimant did
establish her residence Oh the home
stead that she did maintain it for the
period required by law.
The decision goes on to say that it
is not possible to conceive how. the
residence being once established, the
claimant could have maintained it
otherwise than she did. She was Il
