First to Practice Palmistry.

Gypsies introduced the practice of
palmistry into England. This appears
from a statute Of 1881 called an "Acte
concerning Egypsyans," which recites
that "afore this tyne diverse and
many outlandysshe People. callynge
themselves Egyptians. using no cratic
nor faicte of marchaundyse, have
comen into this Realme and gone from
Shire to Shire and Place to Place,
and used create subtyll and crafty

they by palmestre could tell MEME and

and rubtyltie deceived the people of
their money"

AS to the "Doqdays."

The "dogdays" are so called be-
cause the Greeks on first beholding
the star Sirius with the naked eye
were wont to sacrifice brown dog
to appease his wrath, the general be-
lief being that Sirius was the cause
of the hot, sultry weather usually at
tendant upon it's appearance, and that
on the first morning Of its rising the
sea boiled, wine turned sour, dogs
grew mad and man became afflicted
with all manner of burning fevers.
Mysteries and frenzies. At Argos a
festival was held during the dogdays
known as "Cynophantes, which
means that dogs We're killed on sight.

Misquotation.

1t is very surprising to find in the
Charlotte Observer this misquotation
of an old phrase, Everything was
lovely and the goose was hanging
high" This is the way the unin-
formed commonality have come to
write it, but in the Tar Heel coun-
try they know better. The right rem
dering is "the goose honks high" as
the wild goose does when the wealth
er is fine, or, in other words, when
everything is lovely. "-Nashville

THE SMALL TAXPAYER.

The editor has interviewed
several small taxpayers Of tho
eastern part of Meagher county,
relative to the increased rate Of
taxation if Wheatland county was
created. The persons interviewed
were nearly all homesteaders that
had either just commnted or were
getting ready to commute. All
were of the same opinion that it
would be a great benefit to them
They are assessed from $500 to
$1,000 and, as one of them ex
pressed it, IF we pay two mills
more in taxes for two years, it only
amounts to from S1.6O to 50 year
more than we have been paying
The advantages we will receive in
having better roads and more OF
them will be of untold benefit.

The club we had in Harlowton last
year, advertised this town all over
the state. They only lost four
games during the season, and
played the best amateur clubs in

BAND DANCE
NEXT FRIDAY
WheatIand County Band to Civ e
Dance in Opera House on
Friday, June 14th.

The Wheatland County band
will give another of their delight,
full dances in the opera house On
Friday evening, June 14th. At
the basket social and concert they
made 1886 net. The money made
at the next dance will be used in
paying the balance on their new
suits.
1t seems to be the opinion Df
some of our citizens that the money
made at these dances go to the
individual band members. The
boys of the band are not receiving
one cent for their time and labors.
All the. money cleared at these
dances and entertainments goes
into the treasury of the band.
Every business house should, at
least, buy tickets to this dance,
even if they do not attend.
The band boys expect to make
the first appearance in their new
suits July 4th.

1902. the reclamation act, and the
provisions of this section relative
to the homestead period shall apply
to all unprotected entries as we'll
as entries hereafter made upon
which residence is required. Pro
vided, that the secretary of interior
shall, within 60 days after the
passage Of this act, send copy to
each homestead entryman of record
who may be affected thereby, by
mail to his last known address, and
any such entryman may by giving
notice within 120 days after the
passage of this act, by registered
letter to the register and receiver
of the local land office, elect to
make proof upon his entry under
which the same was made without
regard to the provisions of this
act"
The conference report leaves un-
changed the two important features
of the bill as it passed the house,
the provisions for a three-year
homestead and for five months
leave of absence i'm each year for
homestead settlers. The leave of
absence provision is modified in
form. The Amendment. relative
to leave of absence was made with
a view of making the character of
the leave and the conditions under
which it should be exercised, clear.
The Amendment requiring citi-
zenship under commuted entries
uniform with the requirement un-
der other entries was made at the
suggestion of the secretary of in.
terror. The bill provides a definite
and uniform minimum requirement
of cultivation applicable to all
homestead entries except reclama
tion entries and Kinkaid entries in
Nebraska, with regard to which
the law as to cultivation remains
unchanged. The effect of the pro
vision upon entries under the
enlarged homestead act amounts
/ to a reduction by one-half of the
area of cultivation now required

CONvENT TONS
HarloWton Is Entitled to Be
Made Convention
City.

The delegates elected to the
republican and democratic conven-
tions in Meagher county from the
Musselshell valley and eastern parts
of the county have had to 60 to
the county seat for years. It
seems that it would only be fair to
have the delegates from the west
ern part of the county, suffer some
OF these inconvenience, the same
as we have been doing for years.
Out of fifty eight delegates to the
last democratic convention, forty
three could go to Harlowton easier
and travel less distances than to
White Sulphur Springs. The same
proportion of the republican dele
gates would have the same advan-
tages.
Many of the residents of Smith
River valley have never seen the
grand agricultural country in the
eastern part of the county. Now
let us all get busy and work tc
have both the democratic and re
publican conventions in HarloWtor

man may be absent from the land
for not more than five months in

tablishing residence" In lieu the
following was inserted: THAT
upon filing in the local land office
notice of i. the beginning of such
absence, the entryman shall be en-
titled to a continuous leave of
absence from the land for period
not exceeding five. months in each
year after establishing residence,
and upon the termination of such
absence the entryman shall file a
notice of termination in the local
land office" A provision was also
added and the person committing
must be at the time citizen OF
the United States" The following
provisions was also added: That
the entryman~ shall, in order to
comply with the requirements Of
cultivation herein provided for,
cultivate not less than one-six-
teenth of the area of his entry,
beginning with the second year of
y the entry, and not less than one
eight beginning with the third
year of the entry, and until final
proof, except that in case Of entries
under section 6 of the enlarged
homestead laws double the area OF
cultivation herein provided shall
be required, but the secretary OF

showing, under rules and regula
