RESTORING LANDS TO ENTRY.

Three quarters of a million acres Of
public land were restored to entry in
September. These sestorations were
made upon recommendations Of the
geological survey. The lands so %restor-
ed to entry had been withdrawn under
previous administrations at different
times. The fact thai they are now
restored does not imply that there is
a different policy with reference to
public lands being followed now. and
the fact that one administration has
withdrawn lands n another restored
them Is ct a prope basis for criticism,
of either.
Great areas We're withdrawn from,
entry during the past two adn,inistra-
tons. and especially during the Eoos-
evelt terms. because there has i,;s,
come about an awakening Of the coun-
try to the fac, that It possessed vast
properties in the shape of mineral
wealth and water power which ought
TO be preserved for the benefit of the
whole people. These minerals and
TINS water power were scattered over
"a great area, and there were many
sections in which the exact conditions
were lot we'll understood. In order
to he safe, lands where there was rea-
sonahe ground /" suppose thai valu-
able mineral or water rights existed
We're withdrawn from entry pending
investigation. Inspection showed in
many cases that there was no need
for withholding this or that tract, and
such tracts were restored to entry as
soon as the facts were known. Resora-
ations were made by Roosevelt, by
TAFT. and now by Wilson. They will
go on as long as there are found con-
siderable tracts in the withdrawn ands
where there are neither mineral nor
water nor timber wealth which will
make the lands chiefly important for
other thar agricultural purposes.

improved Lifeboat Tackle.

A number of annoying delays are apt
to happen when it is desired to launch
lifeboat in an emergency at sea. One
of the most common mishaps of this
kind results from the tackle twisting
while the boat is being lowered, so
that one end of the boat stops in mid
air, while the other proceeds on its
journey to the sea below. Which
means that those who may be in the
boat are dumped into the water, and
the boat is lost. This has been over
come by the invention of a mariner
who has designed a lifeboat tackle
which cannot twist or become fouled.
Each of the lower blocks is fitted
with a cap covering the upper half of
the block, and through this the ropes
are passed, as well as through the
other sheave holes of the block. The
effect is to prevent the block turning
by the action of the rope. as some
times happens, the tendency to twist
being taken care of by rod which ex-
tends from one of the blocks to the
other, holding the two in the same
relative position.

grants which were made in Georgia in
the days of Oglethorpe lay in the bot

One of the highwaymen exclaimed
with pleasure as he lifted heavy,
square object from the chaise and
dropped upon his knees before it in
the roadway; yet, what he opened
to the moon were land grants which
were a relic of Oglethorpe, and were
old when Georgia, as state, was
young.
But his displeasure was lost in the
delight Of another of the bold rob-
bers who was dragging from the
chaise heavy box. He set it down
in the dust of the road. The high
wayman upon his knees rose hur-
riedly, the other two crowded about,
and eagerly they looked on, the
moon shining palely upon them as the
box was opened.
They might have been treasure
seekers, remnants of a pirate gang, or
just what they were.
The lid of the box ripped, part of
it tore loose. The remainder of the
lid was pried off, and the four bold
robbers, the moon shining palely upon
them, bent forward and in the wan
light looked upon the treasure Of $50

phone and gave word to the police.

ASKING ALMOST TOO MUCH

Declined the Service He Was
Asked to Do.

Jack POdger was the most obliging
man that ever lived. His services
were given gratis to all applicants.
He could mend a clock, repair a pune
ture, drown a kitten, paper a wall,
and, in fact, perform any operation
known to mortal man. In cOnse-
quence Jacks services were in con-
slant demand.
A week or two ago after cobbling
a neighbours boots, lancing his cou-
sins gumboil, sweeping the wears
chimney and writing a testimonial
for his charwoman's nephew, he re-
tired to rest. He was wakened by a
terrific bang at his front door, and
Immediately rushed to the window.
What's the matter?" he bawied
irritably.

at this time of night" came the reply,
but the fact is, our baby is so very
cross, and we would like you to come
