who Owns Land in AmerIcai

Who owns land in the Unitod
Statesi Why, tho citizens do, or
should, would be the natural reply.
But unfortunately it is not altogether
so. Some OF the best lands in this
country nte owned by alien land
lords. Noarly 22,000000 acres Of land
are owned by men who owe allegi.
ance to other governments. To be
exact. there are 21,241, 900 acres Of
land under the direct control and
management of thirty foreign indi-
viduals or companies There are q.
72O, 283 acres OF land in Mnssachu,
sotts, so that the men living in other
countries and owing allegiance to
other powers own lond enough to
make ten states like Massachusetts,,
more than the wholeof New England,
more land than some governments
own to support king. The largest'
amount OF land owned by any ono
man or corporation is owned by
foreign corporation called the Holy
Land company. Talk about alien
landholders in ireland; there is twice
as much land owned by aliens in the
United States as there is owned by
Englishmen in Ireland. Think Of i'll
More than 22,000,0O0 acres Of land
owned by men in Europe American

There is something ludicrous and
irresislibly comic, says Tho Household,
in the way and manner in which tho
word "lady' has come to be used.
"Woman" has almost disappeared,
and to call any one Of the female sex
q "woman"', is to insult her. '.Lady"
is from an old Saxon word which
meant a "loaf giyer," or one who
went about giving bread TO the hung
ry. As only the rich women were
able to do this, the term "lady" was
gradually applied to one rich enough
to give aims. ~
Still later it was applied to all TO-
males who were rich enough to live
without labor. twas mark OF dis
tinction. But when it was broaden
ed in its use and applied to every To-
male it lost all Of its significance.
An advertisement not long ago APP
pearod in New York paper asking
for position as "saleswoman.' It
was refreshing to read it, for the
want columns are full OF such words
as 'forelady, '"saleslady," ""washlady,"
etc. !.
In the old daysa girl was not a.
shamed to be called O ''saleswoman,"
a 'needlewoman," or ''foregentle-
man." and 80 on. No one talks of
q ''salosgentleman" or "foregentle-
man, No; ''man" is used for tho
male sex. Is not "woman' as honor
able q distinction as "man?" Let us
get rid OF these snobbish and silly
words, and let any woman be proud
of the cognomen. There is some
thing old fashioned but grand in the
simple word "woman."

emboldened by your kindness, we ask each and
every one who takes or reads the CHRONICLE, to
solicit at least one new subscriber for the only

not promise to give you a chrome for your effort,
but we can and do pledge ourselves to furnish you
as far as it lies In our power, all the latest items
concerning women and what they are doing in the
world today. If you help us to double our SUBJ

AS the smell of the clover Pm snifln' again;
And ] wander away in a bare, footed dream. 5f=z
Where l tangle my toes in the blossoms that CLEAN
With the dew of the dawn of the morning of love
Ere 1t wept DER the graves that I'm weeping above.
And SO l love %clover-it seems like a part
OF the sacredest sorrows and joys of my heart; -
And wherever 1t blossoms, oh, there let me bow
And thank the good God as I'm thankin' him now;
And I pray to him still for the stren'th when l die
To go out in the clover and tell it good. bye, -
And lovin'ly nestle my face in its bloom
