'Tis the place to do good here on earth.
And 'lis now when that good should be
done;
Let each soul show its manhood and worth
In its efforts all grif to dethrone,
cuoitvs:
For 'tis here wo should strive
To assuage all life's sorrows and woes,
And 'tis now we should give pose.
What wonld brirg weary hearts true re
May we see, feel and taste, hear and smell,
AU'thereis of true bliss, now and here.
Look not hence in some Heaven to dwell
Where 'tis sought through blind love or
through fear,
When all mortals seek hore every joy,
Looking not for some Heaven beyond,
They will then know of bliss ne'er to cloy,
Throughout all of life's journey profound.
Let us hail with delight that glad dav
That looks not for new worlds tilled
with
bliss,
Hut when hearts all their efforts display,
Making souls glad and happy in this.

Emtok Oukuon ft'orr:
Almost ever since the pusMigo of
tho pre-emption law, tho fnt con
gressional enactment intended to pro
tect the poor man against the rich
purchaser, and to secure homes for
actual settlors, complaints have been
rife respecting fraudulent land entries.
The homestead, timber-culture, desert-land,
and other laws have alibi ded
additional opportunities, for the perpe
tration of frauds which have not been
allowed to pass unused.
From every quarter tho cry of
"fraud" is heard in connection with
disposals of tho public domain. Ho
far as fraudulent entries under what
arc termed settlement laws are con
cerned, the people of every section
have the remedy in their own hands.
The acquirement of title to public
land under a fraudulci.t pre-emption,
homestead, timber-culture, or desert
land entry, is a matter of impossibility
unless the transaction bo winked at
and the perpetrator of the fraud be
aided and abetted by persons in tho
immediate neighborhood.
Under nearly all of these laws the
eutryman is required to publish notice
of intention to make final proof, nam
ing tho time when, tho placo where,
and tho officer before whom the proof
will bo submitted. If his entry has
been fraudulently initiated, or if lie
has not complied with tho require
ments of the statute governing such
caEes, his neighbors surely know it,
and with very little trouble or expense
they can, either before or on tho dSty
of making final proof, enter protest
against tho issuance of patent on the
entry, which will put tho government
on inquiry, and in nine oases out of
ten defeat the attempted fraud. Rut
it seems that the men who aio willing
to put themselves to a little inconven
ience for tho public good are very
scarce, as few if any protests of this
kind are filed for tho solo purpose of
protecting tho public domain from
spoliation. At least seven-tenths of
the protests entered tiro tho result of
spite, neighborhood quarrels, or a de
sire upo'n the part of the protestant to
secure tho land himtclf.
Robbery of Uncle Sam by taking bin
lands without giving an equivalent
does not seem to be considered by the
mass of the people as a very serious
offense. Men who would lire guns,
ring bells, and rouse tho whole coun
try should they detect a thief with his
hands in the national money vaults
helping himself, will, without concern,
or smiling over tho trick that is being
played, witness the commission of per
jury by tlireo men, and a robbery of
the people to the extent of a quarter
of a section of land valued at from
$200 to $J00.
Men who arc known to have per
jured themselves in connection with
land claims, either as principal or wit
ness, so that 1(10 acres or less of laud
might be stolen from the government,
mingle freely in society and aro hon
ored and respected by their fellow
men, while the man who steals a horso
from his neighbor is, by tho same
community, summarily hanged to tho
first tree.
Tho government has in its employ
special agents whoso duty it is to in
vestigate fraudulent cutties, and the
Land Department is making every ef
fort to suppress and prevent frauds.
Any citizen cognizant of un attempt
to fraudulently acquire title to land
may seuiro an investigation and bring
the offender to justice, by dimply re
porting tho facts to the Commissioner
of tho General Land Office. So long
as they fail to do so, frauds will con
tinue to bo perpetrated, and the people
must take tho blame.

If you will remember a few years ago tho
word Malaria was comparatively unknown,
to-day it Is as common as any word in tho
Kngllsh language, yet this word cover on

our forefathers In times past. So it Is with
nervous diseasew, as they and Malaria are

It u.im Mtirh a lovely night,'
The iiino'i .iown out so right,
And the gentle sephyrs fanned the leaves
Liiomdi to make tin m quiuT,
When three couples, man and maiden
With mischief heavy laden.
Went visitim: their neighbor Johnny
Over on the river.
Now John, who was a Chinaman,
Was just about as tine a man
A ever crossed the briny deep
From thecele-tial shore;
Hut money was his failng,
And whether well or ailing
He labored in his garden,
To Increase his worldly store.
The party reached the garden gate
And found' the hour was getting late;
That John was dreaming of his darling
In the tlowery clime:
Hut serving as an ointment
To heal their disappointment,
They suddenly remembered
Itwas watermelon time,
They quickly found the luscious fruit
And roused tlie old watch-dog to hoot;
Hie stampetie waited too l ninaiuau
Who hast nrd to the door;
One ft How slipped and fell on
His precious watermelon.
And made a mash completer
Than he ever had before.

And all haiuU gathered round
