Public Lands Opened,

A statement issued by the secretary
Of the interior shows that during the
first two and half months of the pres
ent year 1871 800 acres Of public lands
have been restored to entry and 52,S43
acres have been withdrawn. The with
drawals have been chiefly for the pro-
lection of water power sites.
The largest reservations are of lands
that have heretofore been included in
coal lands withdrawn. Nearly 1,10O.-
900 acres of this type have been re-
stored in Montana and nearly 272,0O0
acres in Utah. There have also been
approximately $4,000 acres released
from oil land Withdrawals in Califor-
MIA and more than 21,500 acres in Ida
no, and in Wyoming more than 1884, 900
acres have been released from phos-
phate Withdrawals. r. =. r.

HOW DAuBlT ROSE TO FAME
Painter May Have Had Successful
= =. Qualities All the Time, and
Then Again. PR :

Realism may not always prove up
as an artistic quality explained the
old critic, "but 1t sometimes hits the
spot as business proposition.
I'm thinking of Daubit. Daubit
was middle-aged painter With fu.
ture behind him in the little town he
hailed from. He stuck to idealism
until he saw that 1t was no use, then
he turned realist and took the step
that made him. y. =
ABOUT this time he met spinster
in i'll health, fifty years old, and rich as
Croesus. The spinster was passion.
ately fond of cats. and of one big old
tabby in particular.
"Daublt saw his chance. He pulled
the strings and arranged for bust
ness interview with her. He talked
glibly and persuaded her to sit for
her portrait. She agreed to let him
paint her as she liked best to sit at
home, with the stipulation that If the
picture did not suit she need not pay
one cent.
But our painter wasn't to be baked
or daunted. He borrowed money on
his dress suit and fixed his studio up
and had her easy chair and other
things hauled down and back every
sitting. He posed her in the chair,
and he put beside it the basket In
which her favorite tabby always took
her ease. He painted this basket
empty. > =.
when the picture was done he let
her wait for q day or two before he
invited her and her friends to come
and see it. He sent a special invita-.
ton to the big old tabDy. too. That
pleased her, but she kept her critical
air and made ready to declare that
she did not want the picture enough
to pay real money for it. Just when
she was ready to speak the tabby ap-
preached the picture, seemed to no.
tice it for the first time-it was on
the foor-and then, smelling. new
ing. and evidently delighted, did her
best to get at the basket.
1.-THE spinster changed her mind in
stantly. She took the cats word for
its excellence and bought the picture
at good round price. = -~ 80 ''&
s"she hung the picture in her home,
and in six months Daubit was there
with her to help her enjoy It. His
marriage to her made him celebrity
among all the rich people. and now, he
sells more than he can paint"
How do you account for his sud
den success?' asked the inquiring
friend. 'Ead 1t in him all the time.
I suppose. and just needed an oppor-
tunity?"ss. E2>s ~ z.'0 -
Maybe" went on the old critic,
but friend of mine who ruDs little
animal store near Daubit's old studio
told me that Daubit came in the day
before the exhibition and bought some
catnip. "a - -@fiFrlt p, .~s..
For my part, I make no rash
charges-genius is genius. even when
it pursues dark and devious way"

GIRLS GlGGLE AT HANDS UPy
HIghwayman's Command Strikes
Young Ladies' as Being Excruciat-
ingIy Funny.

Spokane, Wash.-The command of
a highwayman to throw up their
hands was so overwhelmingly funny to
the Misses Elsie and Emily Bergman
that they giggled and passed on. They
were going north on Hamilton street,
near Mission avenue, when confront
ed by the man with the gun at 11:15
o'clock at night.
Il mean it," he declared.
'1'll dump it in your hand said
Emily, emptying her purse. He re.
fused to take the two cents that COM
prised Elsie's resources. The girls
were still giggling when visited by
Chester Edwards, city detective, at
their residence, No. 1405 Hamilton
street.

100000 Of Lost Baggage.

"If the value Of the baggage that
American tourists were forced to leave
in Europe last summer be estimated
ut the low average Of $50 person, the
total would amount to $5.000,000."
This is the opinion of writer in the
Railroad Mans Magazine who made
some observations III continental Eu-
rope in the early days of the war. ....
Nearly every person" he says, "was
obliged to leave his baggage behind
while the more unfortunate minority
had to leave tools of trade, because
the railroads were so fully occupied
with the transportation of troops and
munitions Of war that they had neither
rolling stock nor time to bother; with
such inconsequential truck as baggage
even at the high rates charged in Eu-
rope"
