Leasing the West.

If you noted the actions of the National Congress last weak yor
can plainly see the intention of the East to lease the West. In the
bitter fight made last week in the House politics were thrown 70 tbe

old the East ws the strongest and now the fight has been transferred

OF little use. This fight was on the leasing of the wafer nougar sno.
In the west If this is successful there is little IT ii question br,
what the next move will be the leasing of all mineral deposits ond

The worst thing about the following
is that 1t is true, and what's more,
that it happened in one of Pittsburgh's
stores.
The girl, stylishly attired, stepped
up to the still more stylishly-attired

came when he gravely told her that
they did not keep chiffon.

In her eagerness she stepped closer
to the stylishly-attired man than Flea

KNOW WHERE TO FIND THEM
War Authorities Keep Effective Track
Of All the Soldiers Under
Their Control.

1t is doubtful whether any foreign
war Office follows with an accuracy
greater than that displayed by the
United States war department the
movements Of it's officers. The follow
ing is an interesting case in point:
A young army officer who had seen
service in this country and in the
East was once with a small scouting
party in Arizona. After two weeks in
the desert his squad came to the rail-
way ear a small station. Within ten
minutes a telegram from Washington
was brought to him by the station
agent. 1t asked if the officer wished
to be transferred to n of the new
artillery regiments then forming.
He answered by telegraph that he
would be glad to enter either of them.
Then with his squad he set off again
across the desert.
1t was six days later when they
again struck the railway, this time
80 miles from the point at which they
had previously crossed 1t, but the Of
flcer's reply from the war department
was awaiting him. 1t had been tele-
6iaphou I cNoIy nLdIiou Wltnlu Two
hundred miles.
A more striking instance Of accu-
racy occurred after the same officers
transfer to the East. He was travel
ing home on leave and, as the regula-
lions require, had notified the depart
ment of the day, hour and probable
route of his journey. After he had
been on the train for eight hours at
a small station the conductor entered
with a telegram, asking If anyone Of
his name was on board. On opening
the telegram the officer found hat it
ordered him to detached duty.
Exactness of detail could not be r
ried much further. The wal depart
ment knew the whereabouts of a Sec
ond lieutenant ever when he was trav-
cling on leave of absence.

were depressing some dark emotion or

Forty years ago this night Perry
was a happy man, for tomorrow ne
was to marry the beautiful Miss Mel

st. Agnes.
But that great factor in the events

wedding was to take place the bride
to-be was stricken with a fatal illness
and less than a week later was laid
away in the village graveyard.
After the funeral Perry Fanchion
shut himself up, almost alone, in the
great house. Time moved on and peo-
pie forgot! One by one his friends
left him, until at last he stood alone,
stranger in q stranger world!
About this time the poorer people,
the destitute of the city, became aware
of the fact that they had a friend,
a very good. mysterious friend, mys-
terious because, try as they might (and
did) they never could discover his
Identity.
One time when a severe landlord
was about to turn poor family out
of the home they lived in, because
they were not able to pay the rent,
that family found the required amount
and a short note asking them to ac-
cept the money as a gift, by the fire
place. Several times incidents like
this occurred among the unfortunate,
but as to where these mysterious pres
ents came from, or by whom present
ed, none could ever tell. But the chill
dren suspected Santa Claus of having
q hand in the matter.
Tonight as Perry sat by the fire he
was very sad and very, very lonesome.
The town clock struck ten. Perry
arose, donned a huge fur coat to
play his little act bravely. A worn,
tired smile played around his usually
grim mouth as he thought of the scenes
of Joy and poverty he would witness
this night. He crossed the town with
