clemency appears to oe shown to
persons who have, as would an -
'
pear from a casual examination
of the proof offered, been absent
from theii claims for periods of
great length, and whose im
pn.wmenta are of the most
meagre character. In others,
where absence from the claims
have been of short duration and
where improvements to the val-
ue of hundreds 6f dollars have
been placed upon the land, the
decisions seem very harsh and to
go to the limit of the law in the
severity of the requirements
made.
Take two such cases and ex
amine carefully the proof in
each. It will be found that the
intention of the entrymaii, as
evidenced by his acts and the
ciicnmstances in the cases res
pectively, is the foundation up
on which the Secretary's action
iests. The intention to use the
land for the actual purposes of a
home is what constitutes faithful
compliance with the spirit of the
j pre emptionand homesteadlaws.
and the settler who because of
poverty, sickness or other mis
fortune is unable to place valua
able improvements or be contin
uously personally present upon
his claim may and generally
does- have a more earnest desire
and honeat intention to securthe
land for an actual home for him
self and family than the man
well-to-do in the world who, by
reason of his better financial cir
cumstances, good health and
other advantages, is able to place
valuable nildings upon andcul-
tivae extensive acres of his claim
while he Hits back aud forth be
tween some favorite resort and
the 1 uid covered by his entry, as
fancy dictates, having no actual,
bonaiide residence upon the claim
but still being personally present
thereon a greater number of con
tinuous days than his (as the
world tcs them) less fortunate
neighbor. One is struggling in
the face of poverty, sickness and I
distress to acquire a little laud
which he may call his own, up
on which his family m iy as a
home and cease to be wanderers
upon the face of the earth, while
the other is endeavoring toscure
title to a tract of public land for
purposes of speculation that the
fatness of his purse may become
increased. The former can do

"Why don't ou run a news

said to a reporter the other day,
throwing out a Chicago daily.
"For the same reason you don't
run a grocery store like that,''

an advertisement of a Chicago

building. The groceryman look

said: "I never looked at it in

The Governor of the Danish

their dates, and then camly and
quietly reads a paper each day,
just as though it was fresh from
the press. lie is sometimes
strongly tempted to peer into
futurity by reading some papers
ahead when he comes across in
teresting news; but he resists
the temptation, no matter how
anxious he is to know the fate of
some measure. One day's paiier
j for each day is his rule: and so
at the end of the year he is thor
oughly familiar with the news of
the preceding year. He says he
is just as happy as though he
