According to a consular report from Tangier, the forms of business publicly most familiar in most other parts of the world prove quite ineffective among the Moors. The astonishing disclosure is made that not only is the ultimate consumer in Morocco often unable to read in his own Arab, but a picture signifies nothing to him. "It may be almost inconceivable that such a case," writes Consul Holt, "but it is a physical fact that the eye of the average Moor fails to find any meaning whatever in a picture." He relates how he has repeatedly shown to Moors photographs of themselves which they have raled to recognize; "and this is true to an even greater extent as pictures of inanimate objects," with special reference to things for sale, says Providence Journal. How to coax to buy goods a potential consumer who can read neither print nor picture would evidently be a considerable problem for the modern expert in advertising. Samples and "demonstrations," indeed, are the only form of publicity which is at all likely to catch the Moor. The main machinery of exploitation as carried on in the United States becomes useless when directed at him. The mail order house, apparently, would stand no chance in Morocco. All the witchery of art in advertising as expressed in the ubiquitous catalogue would be as completely wasted on the Moor as the sense of an inscription from the Koran, decorating the wall of a Morish vestibule, on the American tourist. News comes from Africa that the "Cape to Cairo railroad," once regarded as an "iridescent dream" of Cecil Rhodes, is now so far advanced that completion is actually in sight. The finished part extends more than 2,100 miles from Cape Town, and lines in course of construction or contemplated will make the connecting links, so that within two or three years it is believed trains will run from Egypt through the heart of the dark continent to the other extreme of Africa. What development will follow the opening up of the country by this means may be left to vivid imagination. Africa in some respects is surpassing other sections in railroad progress. But the "three Americas" system is going bravely on. It will not be many years before passage can be taken by train from any point in North America to stations in the most remote part of the southern continent. There is no question that with peace and good order Cuba is bound to prosper. Despite all the criticism heard the island is making good headway in a material sense. The latest reports show that railroads are extending into every part, mines are being opened, the fruit-growing industry is expanding rapidly and sugar and tobacco are bringing returns. Cuba is a fertile region of vast natural resources of various kinds. Even under the prostrating effect of war there was rarely a time when a large commerce was not being carried on. With tranquillity in the interior and free opportunity for capital and labor to work together, there is every reason to believe that in a few years Cuba will possess wealth far exceeding that of many countries greatly surpassing the island in size. Men weighing less than 150 pounds are said to have been discharged from certain railroad workshops. Men weighing more than 180, unless usually tall, have been "released" as street car conductors as too fat to thread the throughed alies. Men over 40 find it hard to get jobs because they are too old. Men under 25 find promotion difficult because they are too young. Will the world's work presently all be done by men between 25 and 35 and of medium height and thickness? And what will all the others do? The earth is now scheduled to pass through the tail of Halley's comet next May. Persona disposed to get nervous over it should find reassurance in the fact that at least one known case of the sort was experienced in the last century with no worse results than a hazy atmosphere during the transit, and a meteoric shower or two. The supply of salt is said to be practically inexhaustible. To those who are gloomily anticipating the giving out of the world supplies this ought to bring fresh courage. Last year over seven and a half millions' worth of toys were imported. And the supreme court has decided that dolls are more necessities of life than toys. So the century, at least, cannot be criticised for its lack of attending to the cheering duty of making the little ones happy. King Gustaf of Sweden disgusted himself as a steward to obtain the views of workmen. In this country the president is overwhelmed with views right along. It having been demonstrated that to reach a height of 1,650 feet in an aerospace and then fall is highly injurious to the human constitution, aerospace will hereafter be discreet either to echew that height or to cut out the fall as an accompaniment. The new flying machine company has not yet put out a catalogue with prices for its different makes; but its capitals and its claims for a patent on everything guarantee that prices will be high enough.

Interest in the anti-tuberculosis campaign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tuberculosis associations were formed, 123 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals were established, and 91 tuberculosis pared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1909, 43 more associations for the prevention of tuberculosis were formed than during the previous 12 months, and 62 more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there was in the United States 324 anti-tuberculosis associations, 386 hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria and 265 special tuberculosis dispensaries.

CLEAR HEADED The chief bookkeeper in a large business house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm coffee did for him: "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago, and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia o' the stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time, that they aggrivated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial. "Next day it came, but the cook made the mistake of not boiling it sufficiently, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we like it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the means of during my stomach troubles. I believe it will help man today and have used no other remedy. "My work as chief bookkeeper in our Co.'s branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee-drinking days I was subject to nervousness and the 'bluees' in addition to my sick spells. These have left me since I began using Postum and I can consciously recommend it to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion." Look in pks, for the little book, "The Road to Woollyville." You read his above letter? A new problem arises. How can we be protective, safe, and fall of human life? BOY'S WELL-MEANT WARNING Nautical Call Somewhat Out of Place When Saying Grace Was in Order. There is a Treton boy who spends his summer with a sailor, who is an enthusiastic sailor. Last summer the lad was particularly impressed by his uncle's manner of singing out "Hard-alee!" as a signal for all hands to put their heads down whenever, in tacking or coming about, such proceeding was necessary to dodge the bomb. From his uncle's place on the coast, the boy was taken by his parents to visit his grandfather in the south of the state. Now it appears that the grandfather is a devout churchman, never failing to say grace at meals. It being the lad's first visit, he gazed upon the unusual preliminary with some wonder and delight, and then he table, was rebuilt for not having bowed his head like the others. The next morning the boy showed the effects of his rebuke. When all were seated at table and his grand father inclined his head preparatory to asking the blessing, the younger companion by piping in a shrill voice: "Hard-a-lee, everybody!" — Sunday Magazine of the Pittsburgh Dispatch. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago, a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company. I would have to scratch it until I had the blood running down on me, so I shone my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my legs were still swollen now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 E. Cabot St. Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1908." Worth Keeping. "John, do you recognize this hat?" "No, I can't say that I do.

Omaha, Neb. Feb. 16.—The astonishing sale of Cooper's preparations in this city has now reached such immense figures that the medical fraternity at large have become forced into open discussion of the man and his preparations. The physicians as a whole seem to be divided with regard to the young man's success in Omaha—some being willing to credit him for what he has accomplished, while others assert that the interest is not enough, which cannot last, and which will die out as quickly as it has sprung up. The opinion of these two factions is very well voiced in the statements made recently by two of a number of physicians who were interviewed on the subject. Dr. J. E. Carass when questioned about the matter said: "I have not been a believer in proprietary preparations heretofore, nor can I say that I believe in them at present. But I must admit that some of the facts recently brought to my notice concerning this man Cooper have gone far towards removing the prejudice I had formed against him when the unheard-of demand for his preparation first sprang up in this city of numbers of my patients whom I have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stomach troubles have met me after taking amnesia and have stated positively that he has accomplished wonderful results for them. I notice particularly in cases of stomach trouble that the man has relieved several cases of years' standing that proved very obnite to treatment. "I am the last man on earth to stand in the way of anything that may prove for the public good simply through professional prejudice, and I am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded them in this city." Another well known physician who who was taken the opposite view of the "Cooper-mania," as he called it, now has this city in its grip. He said: "I can only liken the present state of affairs to a certain kind of hallucination. For want of a better name, I might call it "Cooper-mania." The people of Omaha seem to be firm in the belief that this man Cooper has health cured up in a bottle. "Some of them imagine that he has completely cured them of various ills, judging from their statements, it is beyond me to say why the old gone crazy man could not die, it may be down, I think, to one of the passing fads that so often attack the American public. "Sooner or later the people are bound to regain their senses and will then realize that the reputable physician is the one to whom their health had best be entrusted." In the meantime the reputable meets several people daily, and only smiles when statements of the above character are quoted to him. A. Polish Marriage.

"Ahem!" he said, "Zacha-hm--h'm-ski, do you take this woman," etc. "Yes, sir," responded the young man. "Leo-h'm-ah-ski, do you take this man to be," etc. "Yes, sir," replied the woman. "Then I pronounce you man and wife," said the justice, glad to find something he could pronounce, "and I heartily congratulate you both on having reduced these two names to one." -Lippincott's Magazine.

"William," said Aunt Ann Skiles to her husband, after the supper dishes had been cleared away, "let's go and hear the lecture to night." Uncle Billy had forgotten that there was a lecture, and when he was reminded that a return visit was going to tell all about India at the church he did not seem over-enthusiastic. "I oughtn't to go anywhere to tonight!" grumbled Uncle Billy. "I ought to be doctoring my sick horse." "Well, you're not doing it, and you not likely to do it. Get ready and go." Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the returned missioner said, "I will wait a few minutes now for the question of answering any questions that interested persons in the audience may wish to ask." For half a minute nobody spoke, Then, to the horror of Ann Ann and the astonishment of the congregation, Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked: "What do they use in India to cure horses that have got the heaves?"

PRESS Bldg. 84th Street, San Francisco, CA 区划图 RIVER PLAN IS GOOD Rowse to Start Survey of Des Moines River. NO BRIDGES TO BE REMOVED Des Moines, Feb. 18. The survey of the Des Moines river by Albert Rowse of Sterling, ill., the civil engineer appointed by the government to accomplish the work, will begin at Keokuk about March 15. Mr. Rowse was in Des Moines yesterday. He addressed the Greater Des Moines committee at noon. He is visiting A. C. Miller, father of the plan to make the Des Moines river navigable. Engineer Rowse says that there is plenty of water in the Des Moines river to make a lock and dam system feasible as a means of opening the stream for navigation. A part of the work will be to find the exact volume of water of the stream. To place about thirty gauge boards to determine the depth of the water at different periods will be necessary for work. These will be located at various points between here and Keokuk, the stretch of the river which is to be surveyed. Two hundred miles is the extent of the survey and the fall of the river in that distance is 300 feet. The survey will take into account the topography of all the valleys having a possibility to overflow, and from twenty to thirty locks and dams will be planned. It will also be necessary to survey the flowage lands so that the dimensions of the dams may be determined. Mr. Rowsse expects to complete the work by January 1, 1911. In the distance of 200 miles thirty-one bridges are to be considered. It will not be necessary to remove any water from the reservoirs to make draws or to raise them from their present height. Several storage reservoirs are planned and a part of the work will be to make borings in order to ascertain through what sort of strata the cuts must be made. Engineer Rowsse will employ twenty-five men in this work, five of which will be instrument men and draughtsmen. BLIND WOMAN IS BURNED Body of Margaret Ryan Found in Kneeling Attitude in Front of Telephone Instrument. Fort Dodge, Ia., Feb. 18—Kneeling as in prayer, the burned body of Miss Margaret Ryan, about 50 years of age, and blind, was found in her apartments in a lodging house following a fire. So badly was the body burned that the flesh was ready to drop away in places. Miss Ryan lived with two nieces, both employed in the business district and was alone when the fire occurred. The blaze was discovered by other occupants of the house, who sent in an alarm, the body being found afterward. It is believed the woman's clothes caught fire from a coal stove and that she set fire to a couch in an effort to summon alder over the telephone, as the figure was found kneeling before the burned couch under the telephone from which the receiver had been removed.

A TRAIN LOAD OF SETTLERS VISITING BURBANK-CHALA COLONY WHERE THOUSANDS ARE FLOCKING A BRIEF STORY OF COLONY BUILDING THAT HAS ASTOUNDED THIS COUNTRY. BY CLEMENT YORE. One of the most tremendous land movements ever seen in America is progressing at the present time towards Burbank-Ocala Colony, in Marion County, Florida. One simply cannot comprehend what it means to see a thousand people purchasing seats in just a few days. One has no idea of a country that one cannot contain no habitations, and the next thirty days is dotted over with cottages; is throbbing and active with life and movement, and is the center of improvement that equals, if not surpasses those great days of the far west where many counties were popped over night. But this movement towards Florida and bricklayer—these are the people who are building today in Burbank-Ocala colony, every religion, every trade and every profession has some man or woman who is a settler at Burbank-Ocala, and who from this fact, prove that this land satisfies all people and all classes of people in this colony, places where H. S. Sieg and his organization have decided to build cities. When one sees what these cities were but a short time ago, and looks at them when one arrives at Burbank-Ocala Colony, one has an idea of their appearance will be six months later. CHAS. H. BIEG Florida A. New Emuline Builder. is far more interesting and of greater import than any movement towards land heretofore recorded in this county. The present evidence in this great museum is Charles H. and the organization which he has promulgated. This man is the pioneer of Florida in the matter of placing northern men and women in the land than one year ago Charles H. Sleg organized his first colony, which was located in St. Johns Park, Florida. Every acre of the 30,000 comprising the colony was so great that Mr. Sleg secured another tract of land, amounting to some 36,000 acres, at Jacksonville Heights, and in this turn with the rapidity of the first colony. Today at these two great colonies, St. Johns Park and Jacksonville Heights, are to be seen many beautiful lands, hundreds of acres being worked; land values are thoroughly satisfied; land values have arisen 100%, and many of those settlers who bought land, and have not even improved in as yet, are actually refusing money they paid for their homes. Then Mr. Sieg began his search for his greatest and his best Florida farm community. After careful scrutiny of all Florida lands, he decided that Marion County, north of the County Seat, Ocala, held the greatest promise for his ideals, and he purchased a large tract of land here. Upon one sale of this property lies the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad; on the other, the Seaboard Air Line; and through the heart of it travels the Ocala & Northern Railroad. Upon an eastern border of the colony, which Mr. Sieg has called Burbank Ocala, the beautiful Ocklawaha river runs, and over the breast of its waters travel passenger and freight steamers from Palatka to Silver Springs. This shows how it is to be clear land, simply by increasing the number of large quantities of tarpauline. It is thus seen that transportation, the greatest and most necessary of all adjuncts to a farm community, reaches its highest point of development at a short time ago. But a short time ago Charles H. Sleg announced through the public press his intention of selling this property, as he had sold his former coloration announcements. The response that it surprised the ideas of Mr. Sleg. Today the evidence which this man has at his finger ends of the enormous demand for Florida soil, is more astonishing than the reading of a work of fiction. Surely this is the day of back to the soil. To take a trip over the Burbank-Oakland area, give a pleasure that amounts almost to a vacation. As one approaches Florida upon any of the great railroads reaching this state, one is at once struck with the conversation one hears in the smoking, dining or sleeping car. Fortunately, often connected to the topic of Florida, and given an insight into the real condition of the fame of this great state, for these people come from almost every section of the North American continent. Every train carries many men and women, and the strangs as it may seem, the majority of them are routed to Burbank-Ocala Colony. From the worn-cut hills of New England, from the cold and bleak mountain camps of the mining districts of the state, from chill and snow-laden Canada, from the cities and from the farms, Catholic and Jew, college professor and bricklayer—these are the people who are settling today in Burbank-Ocala colony. Every race, every reason, every trade and every profession settles at Burbank—or woman who is a settler at Burbank—from this fact, prove that this land satisfies all people and all classes of people. There are three new townships in the colony, places where Chas H. Sleg and Burbank have decided to build cities. When these cities were but a short time ago, and looks at them, one arrives at Burbank-Ocala Colony, one has an idea of what their appearance will be six months from today. • The fields moving upon the fertile fields of Burbank are large numbers; they are preparing those fields for the reception of their first crops; they are building their homes, and in the wake of these settlers is traveling the commerce to lines of business, that depend upon the cultural community for their existence. Marion County, Florida, is the banner county of the state. It is the county which but a few years ago in 1990, was the only county in the state, took first prize for agricultural and horticultural products. Marion County has more fine roads than the county in which it is located and long distance telephones upon its farms, and one sees here more luxury in an hour's travel by automobile or team than one would believe in a car. We must remember in travelling over Florida, that these people whose homes we see, and whose fields we marvel at, make their money and earn their living by killing toil of working 160 acres of ground like is done in the north, but Florida is the spot where a man is rich who owns a ten acre farm. Florida is the greatest and most delightful portion of Florida, where pleasure and profit are wound and inter-wound, is Marion County, and in the very heart of this county is located Burbank-Boca Colony. If you want to read something of this great colony; if you want to know in the language of irrefutable proof and undeniable facts and figures; if you want to see with the eyes of a camera what is now being done at Burbank-Ocala, write for "Ten Acres and Freedom," a book issued by Chas. The Experiment Farm at Burbank-Ocala Colony. H. Sleg, and prepared with a most comprehensive knowledge of all questions arising in the mind of a man who contemplates making Florida his home. This great book is very expensive and it is filled with absolute proof that tells a story which no man can deny it. It is in the language of common sense. In an interview with Mr. Sleg recently, he made the prediction that every acre of Burbank-Ocala Colony would be planted north were enabled to start plowing. This means that many thousands of acres must be sold each and every week, and that hundreds of settlers are being moved to the office of the Burbank-Ocala Colony is located at the city of Ocala, in Marion County, is filled with settlers and prospective settlers to this colony, and the best plan is to plant them. Many them are sent to Burbank-Ocala for the purpose of investigating and making sure, not only for themselves, but for their friends, relatives and neighbors, and most of them buy impounded land or see the land for many people. To give one some idea of the value of this property, and how firmly convinced the Company is that it will stand any investigation, the Board of Directors of the Company have authorized Chas. H. Sieg to sell this colony land upon the strict guarantee that if it is not satisfactory to the purchaser, he may ask for and receive back every cent he has paid, together with 6% interest, any time before the actual delivery. This land is selling at the price of $25.00 per acre, upon the terms of 50 cents per acre down, and 50 cents per acre per month until the land is paid for, thus giving every purchaser 49 months after his application has been approved. Once approved, he can move on and take possession of his farm after a single payment of only 50 cents per acre. Settlers living in tents until their homes are built This is at the basis of 17 cents per day for each 10 acres purchased. My advice to every man who really wants to make an investment out of his daily savings, that will come back to him in profits that are limited only by his own capabilities, is to write at once for the great book called "Ten Ames and "Predemon" and inform himself thoroughly before he buys, and prove to his own satisfaction that Bur Bank-Ocala.

"I ate my breakfast this morning in a Market street restaurant," said a down-town business man, "and something occurred that particularly appealed to my sense of humor. A man and a woman were seated opposite me, and the waiter placed a large plate of biscuits before the two. "I prefer bread," said the woman. In a jiffy the biscuits were whisked away and replaced with the staff of life. I noticed a wistful sort of expression on the man's face as the biscuits disappeared, but he made no remark. "I guess she's the boss of that ranch," I thought, and then the woman turned and said: "I believe the girl thinks we are together." As the waitress came back to give the couple a check she wrote to the man, she two meals on one when she looked up suddenly and asked if they were together. In one breath they said No! "Well, you should have seen that girl face. She blushed furiously and then capped the climax by saying: 'Oh, you sat there so quiet like, not speakin', I thought you were married.'"—Philadelphia Record. Going to Nature.

Out of the Grand Central station the other day came a couple the sight of whom caused citizens who saw them to admit to themselves that there might be, after all, some basis of truth in the "Uncle Josh" jokes of the allegedly funny papers. The old man grasped his carpet bag and bulging green umbrella firmly, and looked up and down the street, his mouth sighing. "There's a heap o' sights in New York. I guess, Maria," he said. "I misdoubt if we see them all." The old lady's mouth set grimly.

A number of drummers were sitting in a hotel lobby, when one of them began to boast that his firm had the most number of people pushing its line of goods. There was a little argument and then a drummer who had not had much to say before suddenly rose and said: "I'll bet any man in the house that my firm has the most number of people pushing its line of goods!" "Done!" exclaimed the boasted one. The money was accordingly put up with a stakeholder, and then the boasted drummer asked: "Now, what is your firm's line of goods?"

IT VIOLATES CONSTITUTION Decision Puts In Force Former Law and Will Not Effect Confined Prisoners—Snell and Warner Will Cases Decided. Springfield, Ill.—The supreme court Wednesday decided that the act creating the state board of parole and giving the state board of pardons power to parole prisoners was unconstitutional. The case decided was that of Joseph Joyce, who was convicted of grand larceny in the Cook county criminal court at Chicago and was sentenced to an indeterminate term in the penitentiary at Joliet, or until he was paroled by the state board of pardons. The supreme court reverses the judgment of the criminal court of Cook county, holding that the act creating the state board of parole is unconstitutional because it violates section 16, article 4, of the constitution, which provides that an act making appropriations for such a board is the general assembly and state officers shall not include legislation on any other subject. The act creating the state board of parole made an appropriation for their salaries in violation of the constitution. According to an official opinion of Attorney General Stead the decision of the supreme court is "practically inconsequential." The court held that the indeterminate and parole law of 1899 is invalid, because the court automatically brought to life the former law of 1897 and declared it in full force and operation. The effect of this decision will not be felt by prisoners now in penitentiary. While true they have been sentenced under an invalid act, if they object, they will be remanded back to their trial court by the supreme court with instructions to resentence them under the old law of 1897. The court's decision does not affect the state board of pardons except as to its salary. It remains intact with practically the same functions it possessed since its organization. The only change is that under the law now in force it has only recommendable powers in parole matters. The court which tried the prisoner and the governor must first approve the beaten prisoner before the prisoner can leave the prison. The only persons affected by the decision are the prisoners who have been paroled and are now at liberty under the invalid act of 1899. What will become of them, what procedure will be followed, and what their status is the court refused to say. After three trials in the Dewitt county circuit court and two hearings in the supreme court, Richard Snell wins in the contest to break the will of his father, Col. Thomas Snell, the sarcenter millionaire of Clinton. The supreme court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court of Dewitt county. The lower court had held in favor of Richard Snell, who had been disinherited. The supreme court holds that Col. Snell was influenced against his son when he made his will, which was in favor of his grandniece, Mrs. Mabelle Snell McNamara of Kansas City. On the first trial the jury disagreed and on the second trial it held that Richard Snell when he made the will. The supreme court reversed this judgment and on the third trial the jury found that Col. Snell was of unsound mine. This opinion is sustained by the supreme court in affirming the judgment of the lower court. It was held by the lower court that the trust created in the will of John Warner of Clinton in favor of his son, Col. Vespasian Warner, was void because the will provided that the trust continued 15 years after the will was admitted to probate, it being asserted that the will might never be admitted because it was the trust heretofore would be void, because I might continue indefinitely, by violation of the rules against perpetuation. The supreme court held that the trust was not void, but was valid for the period fixed by the will. TILLMAN ILL AT CAPITOL South Carolina Senator is Suddenly Stricken at Washington—Condition Not Serious. Washington—Senator Tillman of South Carolina was taken suddenly on the steps of the capitol and had to be brought to his room two entipl employees. Later he was removed to his home.

Secretary Ballinger has issued instructions to throw open 1,400,000 acres of land in Eastern Montana to white settlers. This land was withdrawn about two years ago for the purpose of allotting on Rocky Mountain territory to the very closest lands in Valley County and wherever farming has been carried on, it has produced yields of from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 70 bushels of oats and large crops of hay, alfalfa and vegetables. There are over 8,000 156-acre homesteads in the tract, which is considerable more than the combined total in the Flathead, Spokane and Coeur d'Alene Reservations, which were opened to settlement last summer. Who Are the EI ct1 Two modern statements of the doctrine of "election," neither of which would quite satisfy John Calvin or Jonathan Edwards, are givna in the Congregationalist. One was Henry Ward Beecher's eptgrammatic and convincing phrase: "The elect are whowhose will; the no-one are whowhose work." Good as this is, there is another explanation that is a star of equal n.g.itude. It was made by a colored divine, who said: "Brethren, it is this way: The Lord, he is always voting for a man; and diev, he is always voting against him. Then the man himself votes, and that breaks the tiel." Reflections. The beautiful home was crowded with people assembled to honor the distinguished guest. But the explorer soon tired of the attentions, and as he leaned his arm against a pillar, he allowed himself to be transported back to the scene of his triumph. "Sweat," he mumbled, audibly, staring into space, "such a waste, such a waste."
