WANTED A JOB.
Therefore He Did His Best to Please
the Manager.

] neTSIOTS ne OiC tbs 0SSI " VlSASS
the Manager.
A certain playwright relates how a
manager was much annoyed by the
persistent applications for a "job'
made by a peculiarly seedy individual.
Time and again the manager had re-
ferred this person to his stage man
ager. "See Blank" he would say, In
terrupting the mans attempts to set
forth his qualifications.
At last the applicant did succeed In
gaining audience of Blank, the stage
manager, who was in the theater for
the time "sizing up candidates for the
chorus.
There were, of course, a number
ahead of him, but this fact did not
prevent the seedy nan from interrupt,
ing the stage manager between songs
with requests for a job.
Exasperated, the stage manager at
length turned to the pianist and or
dered him to play an accompaniment
| for the stranger. With considerable
hesitation the seedy person raised
| what voice he had in song. The result
was bad as bad could be.
The manager suddenly commanded
| him to desist.
"What do you mean by this tomfool
ery?" he demanded, disguised. "Yot
certainly have confounded impudenct
to ask me fer a job"
"Look herev' said the stranger, an
CRY in turn. II don't claim to be abb
to sing. In fact, l don't want to sing
I'm a stage carpenter. I only sang t.
please you because you insisted OF
it!'-Pearson's Weekly.

The Effects.

II have come to you, my friend, for
comfort. My best girl has treated me
very badly. l was trying to explain
something to her, but she gave me
such sharp looks they cut me to the
heart; she withered me with her scorn,
stabbed me with her keen edged
tongue"
"See here, man, you oughtn't to come
to me for comfort. What you need is
to go to a hospital for treatment."-

RULINGS MADE ON
HOMESTEAD LAND
United States Officials at
Cruces Receive De-
clSIOnS.

Las Cruces, n. NJ, March 13.-The
register and receiver of the United
States land office at Las Cruces have
just received advices from the CONF
missioner of the general land office
at Washington of the passage of an
by it is provided that anyone who,
prior to the passage of this act. had
taken a homestead or a desert land
entry and had abandoned the same,
and had not relinquished for valu-
able consideration (other than an
amount equal to the filing fees), or
whose entry had not been Cancelled Tor
fraud, would be permitted upon a
proper affidavit to make second
homestead or desert land entry.
The last act of this kind passed by
congress was dated Feb. s, 1908. 1t
provided substantially the same con-
ditfons under which second homestead
or desert land entries could be made,
with the exception. however. OF the
provision of the latter act which per-
mits an entryman to relinouish for
the amount of his filing fee.
The register and receiver OF the local
office have also received ruling from
the general land office regarding the
construction Of what is known as the
enabling act, passed by congress on
June 20. 1910, wherein it was pro-
yided that in addition to sections 10
and 36 which had heretofore been
granted to New Mexico for school pur-
poses, sections two and 80 In every
township would be added TO the school
liant, thus making four sections IN
! every township which belong to the
territory Of New Mexico. The con-
struction of the enabling act. however
provides that only such lands in sec
lions two and 80 as were unappropriac-
ed and clear on the records on the date
of the act should go to the territory.
Any lands in these sections which
were being applied for. contested, or
on which any prospective settler or
claimant had shadow Of title, remains
government land, and can be appro-
priated under any Of the usual acts OF
congress.
This means that a homestead entry
in sections two and 90 which is relin-
ouished may be appropriated, as II
does not become a part of the scnooi
section upon REIMBURSEMENT The en-
abling act provides relief for the ter
ritorv to cover these losses by specl-
fically stating that other unappro-
priated lands may be selected by the
| territory in lieu Of the lands thus lost
