Men use treachery and despise the
traitor Their moral sense rcvolts against
the means which their craving for sue
cess pcrsuades them TO use. The fact
shows that faith in the mOralist maxim
Nothing is eXpedient which is dishonor
able is not strong enough to remove
this moral contradiction. And SO the
world, which makes success duty, will
continue to pay and despise the traitor
The late Count de ChambOrd's birth
occurred after the assassination of his
father, the Duke de Bcrri. in 1870. His
mother, woman of great courage and
force of charactcr-sh offered to lead
the royal troops against the rtvolutionists
of lS30-potted to seat him on the
French throne, as the only legitimate
Bourbon.
In 1892 she landed near Marseilles and
appealed to the French legitimi>tS to
rise against Louis Philippe. The appeal
fell upon deaf ears, and the duchess was
obliged to HIDE herself. One of her
suite, named DeutZ, agreed to sell to the
government, for fifty thousand francs,
the secret of her hiding place. The be
trayed duchess was arrested and i'm
prisoned.
TO NJ. Didier, the secretary Of the
minister of the interior, was assigned
the disagrceable duty of paying the
traitor. At the appointed hour, Didier
called his son into the office, and said;
"Look well now at what passes, and
never forget it. You will learn what a
scoundrel is, and the method of paying
him.
The secretary spoke to a messenger
and Deutz, the traitor, was brought in.
NJ. Didier stood behind lis desk, on
which were placed two packages, each
containing twenty-five thousand francs,
AS Deutz approached the desk, the Sec
rotary made a sign to him to stop. Then,
with Il pair of tongs, he picked UP the
packages, and dropping them into the
open hands of the traitor, pointed to the
door Youths Companion.

Lords Who Like Our Land.

The largest owner of land bought in
recent years in this country is Sir Edward
James Reed, NJ p. for Cardiff, Wales.
lie has purchased in the last ten years
1900, 600 acres of well-selected cattle
grazing land in Montana and Dakota. Sir
Edward Reed is practical man and the
founder of cf his own fortune which he
got out of the iron and coal mines of his
native Wales and the tin mines of Corn
wall. His investments in this country
directed many others to our public do
main who had great confidence in his
saCacity. Next in consequence is the
purchase last year of 1900, 600 acres,
consisting mostly of pine land in the
State of Mississippi, though included in
this holding are 100000 acres of the
finest agricultural land on the continent,
lying on the Iazoo River bottoms. This
magnificent property belongs to the firm
of Philips, Marshal & Co., wealthy corn
factors of Mark Lane, London, who are
also the largest dealers in American
wheat and other grains in England.
Next in consequence comes the Grant
estate, which includes an entire county in
Kansas, and has within its bounds $50,
600 acres. This probably is the most de-
slrablc landed estate held by Il single
owner in America, as the land is rich,
well watered, and settled mostly by emil
grafton farmers from England and Scot
land. Alexander Grant, the owner, has
laid off all his land into farms, built about
400 good farm houses, each with the nee
essary out-buildings, and is conducting the
estate just as though it was north of the
Chcviots instead of America.
The Duke of Portland owns about 500,
600 acres, part of which is on the North
Platte, in Nebraska, and part in Colorado.
Not much of it is yet in cultivation.
Lord Stafford owns 100, 900 acres on the
line of the Northern Pacific railroad and
he is gradually colonizihg it and getting
it into field cultivation.
Lord Dunraven is the pioneer of the
English nobility in American land-own-
ing. He bought the well-known prop
erty in Colorado called by him Dunraven
Park in 1868, and at government prices.
Dunraven Park contains about 100, 600
acres. The first purchase was 60, 900,
and subsequently 40, 600 acres more were
added. 1t i one of the best cattle
ranches in America, being "A lovely val
ley, full of pure streams fed by noun
tain springs, rich in the best cattle grow
ing grass known, and the whole property
is fenced in by mountain ranges. 1t is
now easily worth 81, 200, 900, but Lord
Dunraven refuses to sell it at any price.
Lord Dunraven owns 10000 acres not
far from Dunraven, and very much the
same character of land, which is rapidly
improving. The Duke of Beaufort is one
of the four owners of tract of 400, 00O
acres recently bought by English gentle
men in the PanH Handle of Texas, and
Sir John Rae Reed is another of them,
the Others of interest being two rich
bankers sons. There are many Other
Englishmen who have from 1000 to ?,
600 acres in Colorado, Texas, Dakota
and New Mexico.

The Buying Mania.

"Shopping," said an experienced New
York floor walker, sis to Il considerable
extent habit, and | know many in
stances in which it has grown into pas
sion. The remark is often made that
women come into these large general
stores and compel our saleswomen to
show them whole lines of goods through
pure wantonness. | do not think that
such is the case. The purchasers are
seized with the buying mania, that is
all, and if they happen to be out of ready
money they feel obliged to make believe
buy. know those customers tolerably
well, and can pick them right out if |
can only get sight of them in the door
way. They will enter sort of cast down,
hut brighten right up as soon as they get
their eyes on the goods. The sight
seems to act on them somewhat as a
cocktail operates on man; it's regular
morning stimulus. Women haven't the
head to stand against genuine mark
down, and if they can't buy themselves
they are bound to see other people

THE WAY OF 1T.

The wind is awake, little leaves, little leaves,
Heed not what he says he deceives, he de
ceives:
Over and over
To the lowly clover
He has lisped the same love and pledged him
self true
As he'll soon be lisping and pledging to you.
The boy is abroad, dainty maid, dainty maid,
Beware his soft words-I'm afraid, I'm afraid
He's said them before
Times many a score,
Az. he died for dozen ere his beard pricked
through
As he'll soon be dying, my pretty, for you.
The way of the boy is the way of the wind.
As light as the leaves is dainty mad-kind:
One to deceive
And one to believe
That is the way of it, year to year;
But 1 know you will learn it too late, my
dear.

the land Grants.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5-The simple
passage of bill by the house declaring a
forfeiture of the land grant of a railroad
does not forfeit that grant and return the
land to the public domain. More than that,
there are many peopl in Washington who
havean idea that this is about as near for.
feiture as they will ever get The fact is, said
a very prominent member OF the house
as he talked of il after thinking it all over,
II have very serious doubts whether con-
gress has the right to make these forfeitures
IhaYe all along believed it to he the business of
the courts, and not that of congress, to pass
on the land question 1t is not likely, how
ever, that this action by the house means that
the roads are to lose their lands Even if
The senate SHOULD pass the bin, which is not
at all certain, the matter will be brought
into the courts in some way, and finally to
the supreme court before it is decided Lean
not suppose that the members, many of them
first-class lawyers, could have overlooked this
principle. The fact is, it is worth a mans
political scalp to have voted against the bin
with the pressure there is to pass it from all
over the country 1t is craze, and there's
no use fighting against it.
