ADDS TO NATIONS WEALTH
Fertile Acres Of Uncle Sans Domain
Thrown Open to the Pillow
Of the Farmer.

The domains of Uncle Sam, within
his gift, are growing smaller each
year and it is only occasionally that
we read of a new land cpc ing where
men with a birthright under the stars
and stripes can procure Il farm home
for the mere cost of his filing ices,
and the brain and Drawn he will put
into the development OF the land. Sec
rotary Fisher, the steward CT Unc,o
Sans estates, has recently thrown
oren to settlement a large area CT
and in northwestern Montana. which
has been withdrawn from settlement
and entry by the reclamation service
with a view to irrigation. Unc'e Sam
withdrew this 100000 acre empire
from settlement a few years ago with
the view Of placing it under irrigation
from the large Blackfcet project
which is now being constructed. Set
tiers came to the land lying east, west
and south of this reserved land i'll
1907. 1908 and 1909. and have had
such success in growing ali forms OF
agricultural products, that Uncle Sam
has been compelled to throw the land
open to settlement and entry under
the $50 and 100 acre homestead laws.
This became effective November 20.
1911. Professor Thomas Shaw, one
of the foremost agricultural authori-
ties in the United States. is e%athusias-
tic over the possibilities Of the new
area opened for settlement.

Business.

A train in Arizona was boarded by
robbers, who went through the peck
cts Of the luckless passengers. One
Of them happened to be a travelling
salesman from New York, who, when
his turn came, flashed cut 5000. but
sapidly took 81 from the pile and
placed it in his vest pocket.
What do you mean by that?" asked
the robber, as he toyed with his re-
volver. Hurriedly came the answer:
Mine trent, you surely would nct re-
fuse me two per cent. discount on a
strictly cash transaction like dis?'-

come to stay. We cannot go back to

When You Break Cut Glass.

An accident to cut glass invariably
plunges the owner of it into clouds of
gloom, but often these clouds have sill
yer Innings. Before throwing the
pieces away examine each piece sep
arately and see If 1t could be cut down
into anything smaller. Shops which
deal In cut glass usually have cutter
on the premises. A case is told Of a
bride who upon entering the dining
room arrived in time to see. but not
prevent, her maid from pulling instead
Of pushing the extension table, and as
It separated in the middle several
pieces Of valuable cut glass which had
been placed there during the cleaning
time fell through with crash to the
floor. 1t seemed q hopeless accident,
but rose bowl was cut down from a
dccanter, following the pattern near
the neck, which had broken off; small
violet holder was cut down from a tall
vase, tiny sugar bowl from vinegar
cruet, and small bonbon dish was
saved from larger cut glass bowl

conversation seemed intelligent rather
than simply Initiative. For instance,
If said to him, "Hello, JackT" he
would answer, "Hellog' and not put
on the Jack" as 80 many parrots do
when one says, "Hello. Pollyr'
But he could initiate me also. he
found that when any one called and
said, "Hello, .Woodr' my reply was a
low "HelloY He tried in every way
to initiate that low tone Of mine and
finally succeeded. He would go over
to his water trough and with his head
in the air would cry, "Hello. Woodr'
Then down would go his head in the
trough, and out would come the "Hel-
