WAS KIND IN OAkoTA-SCHooL
TEACHERS IN MAJORITY.
LAND FOR SETTLEMENT
a Girl From MarceIne, Mo-, Owns a
Sectional Kansas School Teacher
Became a Farmer and Postmst
Then They Married.

Dallas, 5. D., Sept 26.- More than
one hundred thousand persons will
register for a chance in the govern
ment land lottery next month. Four
hundred thousand acres OF govern
meut land in Nellettc county. South
Dakota, near the Nebraska border,
viii be opcnd TO settlement.
Can women legally register?
They can. In recent years the mum
her of women exercising the right TO
enter land has increased largely, due
perhaps to the success attained by
most Of them. Several Omaha school
teachers have in recent years spent
their summers upon land entered and
improved by them.
A Missouri Girl Prospered.
When the Rosebud country was set
tied about six years ago several wo
men entered land, among whom was
Miss Pearl shannon, who came from
Marceline, Mo, and took section
about five miles west of Dallas.
She established her title and was
ready to return to Missouri, but a
young business man of Dallas, Burl II.
Martin, demurred. Last April they
were married. These are the cold
facts. There are romantic features
to the story, which, If recited. would
enhance n mans respect for the up-to-
date, self reliant woman who is deter
mined to get a start in the world.
A Kansas School Teachers There.
Miss Erma BowersoX came to the
Rosebud country from Kansas. She
earned her living by teaching school,
county. but was unsuccessful in the
drawing. She waited, however, until
all the lucky number holders had Sc
lected their lands and then took a
quarter section under the squatters
right Realizing that she could not
successfully farm the land herself, in
building her house she made part Of
il into a store.
Miss BowersoX was appointed post
mistress. naming the town Colina. She
placed nearly all the land under cult
vation and supervised the work. Two
good crops have been raised on the
land. After fourteen months resi-
dence she earned money enough with
her store, postoffce and farm to prove
up on the place and to pay for i'm
provements. 1t Is all fenced. She has
store building about 24x60 with a
good 4-room residence.
In August she was married to Johl
Kelly, a travelling salesman. Mr.. and
Mrs. Kelly own two quarter sections
OF land and have established a com
fCrtable home in Dallas.

Tue essential part OF any device for
ths study Of the starry millionaire
suns, planets, comets and the nebulae
that are perhaps new worlds In the
making-is the lens or the optical train
that consists OF a series Of lenses. 1t
is this that makes the modern science
Of astronomy possible. There is abso-
lutely no other human occupation that
requires the accuracy Of observation
and the delicacy Of touch that ara
requisite for the making Of the finest
lenses. These are the most perfect
products OF human hands. 1t may
convey some idea Of the labor reQuir-
cd In the making OF a large lens to
say that at least one years time Is rs-
quired for the grinding and polishing
Of thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches il diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention OF
q skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy, then, to see why 1t Is
that even lenses OF high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for large telescope can
not be made In much less than four
years time, and If everything does net
go Just right it may require mucn
longer than that.-Kansas City Star.

i would, do the thing he wanted he
was gentle at first, and then, persisting
in my failure, he began to lash and
whip and sting me with his words
until I thought I should have to run
away. In agony Of impotent despera-
ton cried out:
I" I cannotI On, 1 cannot?
''bfr. Mansfield threw up his hands
In gesture Of relief, and a smile play

on earth could do it better And then
I knew what he meant, and those lines
were a triumph to me all that season 3"

OF all the superb vtctuaiS which. By
their great variety and unique eoliocs-
ton. make Maryland the Eden and
Arcadia OF every man who loves good
eating. the planked shad Is probably
the most powerful and poignant In its
appeal TO the senses. The Wild duck,
though it sets the palate TO vibrating
Ike an aeolian harp, has no thrill for
the eye. It ig a small and unlovely
bird OF a duli color and gngraceful
outline. So, too, the diamond back
terrapin. It has no more beauty In
death than a plate Of soup. And GER
tain other exquisite delicatessen, for
all their sweetness, do not soOthe the
sense OF smell. OF such are the raw
oyster. the boiled hard crab and the
Magothy river cabbage But the
planked shad-ah, here we come to q
de1cacy which enchants us alike
through the eyes, the palate and the
nose! As 1t comes upon the table it
has the imperial dignity Of a Charlie
magne. Its noble head moves one to
reverence; the epicycloid curve Of its
tail Is like the curl Of a great comber
upon coral beach. And It radiatas q
perfume as Of Araby.-Baltimore Sun.

] saw once how Ike sleep was 20 ffss

waking eyes looked cold and starved
and ragged sat upon one Of the benches
on the embankment. He was sleep
Ing, and I knew from his face that
than az least he did not count himself
miserable. But presently a policeman
came and shook the sleeper into wax
Ing life. Then all the violence Of the
world seemed to be let loose upon this
wreck OF a man. He shook and blink
ed his eyes and breathed with heavy
spaSms. 1t was just as when a fish
Is caught out Of the depth Of the sea
and suddenly cast into a basket. I
have seen maekerel shake and gasp
Like this poor man suddenly caught up
out Of the native depths OF sleep. Or
II you think that a fish thus dying il

II some giant OF fable could catch Us
up out OF our native air into the space

rica, or the countries above mention
ed, to become more intimately ac-
Quainted with the work and the prob
lens of Africa and these other couu-
tries. Such a meeting will be valua-
BILE and helpful, also, in so far as it
will give opportunity for a general in
terchange of ideas In organizing and
systematizing the work of education
of the native peoples in Africa and
elsewhere and the preparation of
teachers for that work. Wider knowl-
edge of the work that each is doing
should open means of cooperation
that do not now exist.
The object of calling this confer
ence at Tuskegee Institute is to af-
ford an opportunity for studying the
methods employed in helping the Ne
gro people of the United States, with
a view of deciding to what extent
Tuskegee and Hampton methods may
be applied to conditions in these coun-
tries, as well as to conditions in At

1t is hoped that numbers of people
representing the different govern
ments interested in Africa and the
West Indies, as we'll as representa-
tives from the United States and the
countries of South America, will de-
eide to attend this conference. Es-
pecially IS it urged that missionary
and other workers in these various
countries be present and take an act
i've part in the deliberations of the
conference.
1t is desirable, in any case, to have
any suggestions as to what might be
done to make the work of the con-
ference more helpful to all concerned.
The names Of persons who would like
to be present, with whom you are &C
duainted, will be appreciated, and
through you they are invited to be
present and take part in the delibera-
tions of the conference.
Those who come to Tuskegee prop
erly accredited will be welcomed and
entertained as guests of the institu-
ton, and will be under no expense
during their stay here.

when | was younger" a big Broad
way traffic cop remarked, II used to
cuss at everybody who insisted on
dashing across the street in front Of a
car or truck. l cuss the act still. but
not the person. Fact is, I've learned
that a majority Of people just can't
help it. An approaching vehicle about
to cross their path is like a red rag to
a bull. It's a sort of challenge, a dare.
And the impulse to defeat its purpose
can't be controlled. There isn't any
plan Of action. It's a case Of dash
first and think afterward, and some
times, of course. the thinking is done
In q hospital.

Water Under OsssrSa

Some Of the most curious phenomena
Of the world are the underground wa
ter supplies beneath deserts. In the
Rajputana deserts water is held In
vast quantities In sandstone beds un-
der the scorched surface and is drawn
up from wells sunk into the strata.
Bikaner raises its walls In the midst
Of weary, almost rainless waste Of
sand and depends On these hidden els
terms for its very existence. Whence
it comes, where is the outfall and what
quantity runs under the baked sand
remain a mystery. In one well at
Bikaner it has been ascertained that
the water supply is equal to 10000 gal
Ions an hour, which Is held TO point to
the conclusion that there is an enor-
nous subterranean flow and that the
snow fed rivers of the Himalayas must
be the source. People in BikaneF say
that pieces Of wood dropped into one
well have come up In another. The
idea Of an underground river opens up
& wide range Of possibilities to the i'm
agination.-Times Of India.
