BONING FOIL GRADUATION. . Vacations w 6rt Hubbard XXX Via S V fl HERE are three good vacations. One is eo that body's and everybody's place can be filled; the next is so that when the employe returns he can see bow well he can lJ II be spared, since things go right along without him; the II third Is so the employe can show the employer, and the a , il employer can understand that the employe Is not manipu lating the accounts or Many a defalcation could have sent away two weeks each year, and an Beyond these, the vacation has little excuse. As -a matter of recuperation, the vacation does not recuperate, since, as a rule, no man needs a vacation so much as the man who has Just had one. The man who is so run down that he needs a vacation can never adjust or reform himself in two weeks. What he really needs Is to retransform his life. To work during the year at so rapid a pace that In August one's vitality Is exhausted, and a rest Is demanded, is rank folly. What we all need Is enough vacation each day so that we can face each new morning with health sufficient to do our work in glsdness. That is to say, we need enough of a play spell every day to keep us in good physical condition. The man who is done up and fagged out has not found his work. And the man who lives during the year in anticipation of a vacation does not de serve one. for he has not ascertained that it Is work, and not vacations, that makes life endurable. The only man who can really enjoy an outing is the man who doesn't need It. And the man who keeps his system so strong and well balanced that he doesn't need a vacation is the one who eventually will marry the propri etor's daughter and have his name on the Elgn. Before you manage a busi ness, you better learn how to manage your cosmos. However, this does not mean that I never take a vacation myself I do, otherwise how wquld I know the facts? New York American. Dinner to an Ele phant 2y Liliai Bell N what proved to be the coldest night of the year, a man, said to represent a brand of wine he is anxious to export, en gaged the largest stage In the world from midnight until the next noon and gave an entertainment in honor of an elo Dbant to which were bidden the men and women whose O H lights shine mostly on the Great White Way. II These people were requested to come dressed as J "rubes," in the hope of making themselves as ridiculous as possible. But tbat was unnecessary, as the report of their antics while the wine, represented by their host, flowed with increasing free dom, did for them what no amount of caricature in dress could acconiplisn. Out in the cold of this same freezing night there is a broad line. Station ed at various places In this city are municipal free lodging houses. To these flocked the army of the hungry and homeless, seeking for food and shelter from the bitter cold. Of course, nobody blames a wine agent for advertising in any preposterous way he can. Nor does one blame his guests, who can find no excitement so salted to their taste as the sort given at an elephant dinner where no dinner was for going and giving themselves up an abandonment of vinous enjoyment. New York Is a city of contrasts, and, In spite of the piteous tales of suf fering printed every day in the newspapers, the idle and the thoughtless con tinue to give parties, full of spirited and dreds, if not thousands, of dollars are worthy end. Do you wonder that some shivering empty stomach, who hears of this waste loses his faith in God and man? Nobody objects to even expensive entertainments, which really entertain, but to waste money and advertise that waste when babies are dying of cold and hunger on the coldest night of the to desperate measures to find warmth New York American.

More polish, more assurance, greater ease of man ner; the average city woman has more of all these than the average country tongued, but not necessarily qulcker-wltted. Her speech comes more readily than her sister's from the country, but for all that it may not be better worth hearing. What are the influences in city life that make for this finer polish, this greater, refinement, this urbanity? What are the refining infiuneces in the of Rustlca's sister who lives in the city?

They all come to the city to teach her what they have learned of religion, sci ence, music, art The pulpit, the theatre, the art exhibition, the concert room these are the class-rooms of the city school of life. Cities civilize, pol ish, educate largely from the outside. The dwellers In cities improve by iml tatlon; they learn from one another.

NEW EMPIRES Millions of Acres of Indian Settlement Of fer Homes and Wealth Include Rich Farming, Timber and Mineral Tracts in Idaho, Montana and Washington. Washington, D. C. Million, of acres of fertile Western lands will be made available by President Tatt for homeseekers during the next nine months If he follows the policy which has been laid down by the Depart ment of the Interior.. The settler may make his selection in any one of the three States of Idaho, Montana and Washington. It Is proposed to throw open 2.- 872,600 acres, comprising part of five different allotments to Indians. They include farming, timber and mineral lands, sufficient not only to provide homes but wealth to the suc cessful applicants. The sections under consideration include 310,000 acres at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; 64.000 acres at Lem hi, Idaho: 1,200,000 acres near Flat head. Mont.; 153,600 acres near Spo kane, Wash., and 1,145,000 acres in the vicinity of Yakima, Wash. Long ago it was decided tbat the Indian reservation must go, the In dian be absorbed into the civilization of the American continent and the districts set aside for him made avail able for homes for sturdy Americans. It has been decided that the present year Is the time to dn this. The readiness of the people of the United States to gamble has led the Government to surround its land openings with restrictions. Even with these the proportion of those who applied for lands at last year's openings to those who obtained them was fifty-seven to one. There were 114,769 in the first class, and it Is estimated that only about 2000 were rewarded with good farms. It cost the applicants on an average of $-0 JAMES J. HILL, DEFENDS PATTEN. Predicts Country Seattle. Wash. J. J. Hill, chair man of the Great Northern Board of Directors, discussing the recent wheat corner, said: "It is a mistake to say James A. Patten cornered the wheat market. It is merely a case of a man taking advantage of an opportunity. It has been but a few years since it was es timated that the average consumption of wheat per annum in this country was six bushels, but now the experts argue that it is seven bushels. The census of 1910 will show that we have a population of 90,000,000, which will mean that we will require for our own use 630,000,000 bushels hereafter. "We raise now probably 650,000, 000 bushels of wheat in the United States with good crop conditions. BELL SOLVES PROBLEMS OF AIR Hia Tetranedral Kite Will Settle, Not Fall, If dhot to Piece. ' Philadelphia. Exiresslnstbe hope that in the very near future, perhaps some time this summer, he will have perfected a flying machine that will revolutionise navigation of the air in at least two important particulars. Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, detailed to the American Philosophical Society the experiment, he has made and those' that are to come. In bis effort to evolve a perfect ma chine Professor-Bell will leave the aerodrome type of machine and place' his dependence in what he has de nominated the tetrahedral kite, a kite which has the form of a huge triangle and is composed of many small cell.. , : "AU of tb. machine, how fn nte." the Inventor, .aid, "even that of th.

FOR PIONEERS. Lands to Be Thrown Open For each to go to the sections where the openings took place, which is one, of the requirements. Almost all the applicants for the new lands come from east of the States in which the new lands are lo cated, but very few leave the Atlantic slope to try their fortunes In the West. Twenty States furnished the I pettier pan 01 uiw nppnuaiiLS last, i year. Nebraska headed the list with .17,268 applicants. This is accounted for at the Land Office by the fact that the settlers In Nebraska were pio neers, and while they have been suc cessful they have In many cases in sufficient wealth to establish their pons in the high priced lands of tbat State. This Is true, perhaps In a less degree, of the fertile State of Iowa, which Is credited with 32,413 appli cants. South Dakota furnished 17. 124; Illinois, 7988; Indiana, 918; Kansas, 6371; Kentucky, 153; Mich igan. 726; Minnesota, 3020; Mis souri, 6058: New York, 191; North Pakota, 554; Ohio, 344; Oklahoma, 36 4 ; Pennsylvania. 190; Texas, 134; Washington, 19; West Virginia, 19; Wisconsin, 1778, and Wyoming, 38. Lands were offered last year in the town of Gregory, S. D.. at not less than fl an acre, after having been subject to entry at the rate of $2.60 an acre for four years previous. These were suitable for grazing, but In many cases could be made to yield good crops. There is the word of the Government for the statement that lands in that locality entered four years before have not only produced good crops, but were selling at the time the opening was advertised at $20 to $50 an acre. Will Need All Its Wheat to Feed the People- This will leave us but 20,000,000 bushels as a surplus for export, while tn the past we have exported upward of 120,000,000 bushels per annum. So one can see that we will need all our wheat to feed our own people. Within the next five years the wheat of Eastern Washington will be shipped eastward to feed the people of East ern and Central Western States. "And in considering these facts it must be remembered that the number of live stock slaughtered last year was 1,000,000 fewer than the year previous. When farmer, of Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska can get Bixty-flve cents a bushel for corn at the country station they will not en dure the risk of hog cholera and the labor incident to hog raising, but will aell all their grain." fact that when an accident happen, to one of these machines it falls to the earth with extreme rapidity, en dangering the life .of the aviator. On account of their lack of stability In th. air the safety of the aviator de pends almost entirely upon his .kill. "The tetrahedral kite is perfectly stable in the air, as has been demon strated by repeated testa. In case of aa accident it will descend to th. earth gently and smoothly as a bird would. It could even be broken la half and .till reach th. earth In safe ty. In time, of war this would be an Invaluable attribute, as the kite would be abl to stand any amount of helling." ....... .... -- It is these two thing, that will be th. subject of th. experiments this summer.

Sir Martin, which every one had reckoned as Minoru's foremost rival. He had been crowded out of his stride just beyond the Tat tenham corner, about the middle of the course. Jockey J. H. Msrtln shot over hi. mount', bead to the ground, as Sir Martin .tumbled and with him fell the hope, of hundred, of confi dent American onlooker, and many thousand American dollars were lost To Englishmen, even those who had staked their money on some other horse, the king', success was Inspir ing as a victory in a great interna tional contest- and compensated for the rain which drove across th. field, making a wallow of mud under foot On every side it bad been asked whether, if he won hi. majesty would consider It compatible with his ex halted position to lead hi. horse from th. track, as the winning owner, have done for more than a century. There wa. no precedent for that be cause no king before had ever won the derby. King Edward, however, witS the prince of Wale, following him, lived up to the custom and in the mind, of Englishmen clinched his claim, to the title of a thoroughbred sportsman. " ' .. ., Only the accident to Sir Martin and the rain marred the day. . Electric Boy apparently was th. hone which crowded the American colt, which at the time waa well up to the fore and running strongly.

To many American, at the race track and on both aide, of the Atlantic it will seem a calamity, Judgjlng from the amount of money which some estimate at $30o,0O0, was put on the Kentucky bred colt : This large amount placed on Sir Martin sent bl. price to 8 to 1, and made him, a nominal favorite for a time. ...

Langford, the color ed heavyweight ' of Boston,, knocked out Ian Hague, the heavyweight cham pion of England, in the fourth round at the National Sporting club, London. The fight, which was for a purse of $9,000 and the championship, was scheduled to go 20 rounds. The ring generalship which he had picked up in many battles enabled Langford to score a comparatively easy victory over Hague, and the fourth round had barely commenced! when the burly YorksMreman was floored by a well-directed blow and counted out. Langford was at a disadvantage aa regards weight, height and reach, but his superior kind of ring tactics and. his quickness overcame this, and what was expected to be a long con test proved to be a very brief one. In the first round Hague was slow to start. Langford had a shade the better of It until the end of the round, when Hague reached him with a book: to the jaw. Thds seemed to encour age the Britisher, and, although no damage was done in tho second round, he showed more cleverness than the colored man. Langford opened the third round with a hard left to the face and he used this blow effectively several time, before th. gong sounded. Hague, however, partially closed the American's eye with . a hard right swing. The men came together in a fast mlxup at the opening of the fourth and Langford rut a terrific right on the Yorkshlremnn's chin, which end ed the contest The bout between Jimmy Walsh, the American fighter, and Digger Stanley of London for the bantam weight championship of England waa declared a draw. The fight went the . full 15 rounds. The purse was $1,760. HEYDLER INSTRUCTS UMPIRES. . New York.
