CUPID in 1922, the lots were scattered
about the townships. The surveyors
reported l, 900 acres in East Gwillim-
bury, at an average value of SIC. 81,
amounting to $32, $50, and 2, 9S9 acres
in North Gwillimbury, worth SAP
per acre, amounting to S42, 515 in all
4, $50 acres, worth $74 765.
In the meantime a rumor got aboard
that no title existed TO these lands.
Squatters focked in to take possession
and refused to acknowledge the
Arnold right. Many suits were
brought against them and writs of
,ejectment were issued, so that finally
they were all cleared off the property,
the heirs being able to establish their
claims in every instance. The lands
were offered at fair prices and gradual
ly brought up. and are now all sold
but 1920, 500 of which are under
lease. Many lots have been sold
within the last two years, so that the
Arnold connection with the county OF
York will soon come to an end.
In the partition of 1864 the surviv-
OIS ulNluCN' up oOLit VI tAlC lcbos 81
that each of the 16 claimants might
have a share, agreeably to the direc-
tons of the court, rom the Rev.
Edwin Gladwin Arnold, who had
1000 acres, down to some Of the great
granddaughter, who have, respec.
lively, s., 50, 81, %, 20, and Il
acres. The lots were not, however,
sold in patches, but when a settler
bought 100 acres, Mr. Deeds, Of SINCE,
county of Norfolk, signed a. deed
by power of attorney for all the
heirs.
Some seven or eight years ago q
ium Der merchant OF Buffalo, N. Y,
bought the whole interest of the heirs
in this lana, which was then covered
with pine timber. At present the land
is postly cleared, and is fertile soil,
valuable for farming purposes.

Rnssin,s Centrnl Asian pesirts.

Russia wants y foolhold in Afghan
istan. So much is certain. Proba-
bly, she thought her opportunity TO
seize it mad come. She saw that
England's hands were full. The lat
ter has a difficulty with Germany
which presents various and irritating
phases. Bismarck is treadirg on John
Bulls toes, in south and west Africa,
IN Samoa. and in New Guiena. The
coHrse of the German chancellor IN
The last-named affair greatly eX-
asperated Australia, and possibly led
the Muscovite to hope that his old
enemy would be involved in colonial
complications. Then there is the
Egyptian imbrogho denuding Eng
land Of troops. Finally there looms
up a dispute between England and
France respecting the right Of search
and the complex and always irritating
question of what legally constitutes
eontraband of war.
In the midst of these varied respon-
Ibihties which the British ministry is
called on TO encounter and provide
for comes Russia with such a display
Of force on the Afghan frontier as to
indicate an intention omake Britain
difficulty her opportunity. The gen
eral consensus of European opinion
is that the Muscoylte desires 10 seize
Herat. Indeed, the disposition
which is made of the Russian
troops AT all the points which
command the so called gate OF
India" jusudes the idea which is up
permost IN mems minds. But aside
from the present attitude Of the Rus
sian central Asian army, in view OF
British responsibilities the world over.
there are other excellent reasons why
that country desires TO possess Herat.
1t would give the czar's government
great military advantages. One OF
these is the formidable position il
would secure tothe power which hold.
It of controlling the restless, trouble
some, and perverse Turcomon tribes
A strong Russian garrison in Herat
and the Turcomans could never make
one Of their old-fashioned robbel
raids without experiencing therefor q
quick and certain punishment. An
other advantage it would secure tc
Russia would be the power it woplt
give her to constantly annoy anc
menance the ameer Of Afghanistan.
To counteract these all that would
be left to this parsonage would be the
chances of soothing his undesirable,
dangerous, and persistent neighbor
with territorial and other concessions.

Britain made it desirable that the
United States should be secured as a
neutral power, and for this purpose
Spain consented to a temporary treaty
which among other things, provided
for the free navigation of the river for
the term of three years, and though
the treaty was recognized as an expe-
dent without sincerity, it served to
allay for time this western excite
ment.
In 1896, however, by the death of
General Wayne, Wilkinson, who
had returned to the service of the
United States army, became comman-
der of the American army, and Baron
de Corondelet deemed the opportunity
suspicious for revival of the old
enmities and old schemes to possess
the West. A secret agent was sent to
| Wilkinson, who was instructed to in,
cite the people en- route, the general
plan contemplated being the .declara.
ton of independence, the making of
Wilkinson the Washington of the
West, and the establishment of
government under the patronage of
the King of Spain. Just what sue
cess might have attended the nego-
tiations can not be easily conjectured,
had not, by an extraordinary acct
dent, letter containing unequivocal
proof of the plan to injure the Union
! fallen into the hands of the State De
partment. This changed the phase of
affairs, and in 1899, the United States
having materially strengthened itself
and got its affairs Into encouraging
condition, the Spanish, abandoning
the hope Of dislnemboring the Union,
evacuated the forts at Natchez, and
the Federal troops next day entered
into occupation. This ended the
cherised dream of the Spanish of es>
tablishinga strong nation at the gate
way of the Mississippi. The river
controversy was by no means ended,
though the West had now grown too
strong and resolute to endure the
closing up of the great artery against
their trade. 1.-The Mississippi" they
said, lis ours by nature. No power
shall derive us of this right" The
situation was the more complicated
by the ceding of Louisiana to
France, who proposed at once to oc-
cupy it. The outbreak of the war be-
tween France and Great Britain pre-
vented the immediate occupation,
however, and inApril, 1903, Napoleon
expressed a purpose to sell territory
he saw he could not well hold. AT
cost OF 10000 900 of francs, the
United States secured the long debat-
ed land, the course of the river was
made free, and the occasion of western
resentment removed When the
treaty was signed, Napoleon said
prophetically. This accession of
territory strengthens forever the pow
er of the United States, and l have
given TO England a maritime rival
that will sooner or later humble her
pride" 1t is worth remembering now
that the section of country that 100
years ago was so eager to dismember
the Union, less than twenty years ago
was one of the most potent agents in
preserving that unity,

lY0rrY.

Americans are more given TO worry
than any other people. We worry
about our business, our income, and
outgo. We worry over the price of
what we buy and of what we sell.
We worry about our children, friends
and servants We worry because we
cannot eclipse our neighbors. We
worry if we must journey, and worry
if we must stay at home, We worry
because we have riches, and because
we have not. Worry sits with us at
our meals, hovers about our pillow
banishing sleep, and puts in a most
unreasonable appearance as we strive
TO listen to a lecture or sermon.
All this worry is injurious. Worry
wears oHt the brain and nerves more
rapidly than hard work. A man may
engage IN the most exhausting physi-
cal or mental toll for a considerable
length Of time without detriment to
health provided he keeps serene and
hopeful The body quickly recuper-
ates if the mind is at rest. But worry
strikes deep, and eats up the vital
forces as caustic does the flesh. When
the mind is on the rack, lamenting
past evils, fretting over present evils,
and imagining a thousand greater
evils impending; the beginning of
that mental arrangement and dissolu-
ton which leads TO disease, insanity
and death, is at hand. Worry makes
many of our maniacs and suicides.
Besides the injuriousness iof worry
is It's utter uselcssness. All the worry
in the world will not make the ma
chinery of life run more smootaly,
but will retard it in the end. II your
notes are about TO be protested or
your cupboard is bare, worrying,
tossing, and groaning all night will
not put money in the bank, or break
fast upon the table. Better resolutely
close your eyes, quit thinking, and
Sleep and then, when you awake in
the morning rested and refreshed, you
may be able TO devise some method
of relief, or should something turn
up you will be in a fit condition to
make the most of it.
Those whose cares are many must.
if they would preserve life and health,
observe this rule above all others:
Whatever the anxieties of the day,
when night comes cast off all burdens
and secure eight or niue hours sleep.
Sleep quiets the nerves, clears the
brain, tones up the system, lengthens
life, and increases the capacity for
rapid and intense labor The rule
given is possible even to the most
harrassed minds, and through resolute
and persistent practice will become a
habit, so that he who has felt
as though he were bearing the
world on his shoulders during the day,
may sleep as soundly as a child at
night Tribune and Farmer.

The Reputation If a stand ard Article

tators of HosJetter's Stomach Bitters have not
only lost money by attempting competition with

The public at large has for many years been &C
quainted with the ear marks that distinguish the
real from the spurious, and cannot be persuaded
that other articles sold in a somewhat similar

The Oklahoma Boom.

The Oklahoma boomers deserve no
sympathy from the public at large.
This tract of land was coded back to
the United States by the Indians of
whose reservation it formed a part for
the express and sole use of other In
dams and freedmen, the latter being
the freed slaves of the Indians them
selves. According to the law as 1t
stands, no white man is allowed in
the territory unless he has an Indian
wife. Therr Us no reason why white
men should be anxious to 60 there.
The Oklahoma lands are no better
than the average of the government
lands that still remain open for settle
ment, and as q rule not nearly as good.
The cattle ranchers in there are also
there illegally, but they have a color
of title in having regularly leased
their lands from the Indians. The
entire bloom of the Oklrhoma region
is a railroad scheme. The misguided
squatters who are so determined TO
occupy this territory have already
spent az amount Of energy and time
which, il intelligently directed, would
have made them the owners of good
farms in better localities. The gov
eminent has warned them eff let
them take heed. AS for the one on
TWO newspapers which are egging
them on, their motive is a question
able one. The Oklahoma boom is a
fraud.
