Origin al nainin-.

OF the thousands who say quinine
is good for everything few are
aware that It's introduction into the
pharmacopUia is of comparatively H..
CEN date. Quinine is one of the most
common of Homeopathic drugs and is
used for all ailments. 1t is an aka.
loid obtained from the cinchoua bark,
whose wonderful properties rs n tonic
became known about 1857. At ihat
time the countess of Cinchon. vice
queen of Peru, was very i'll with Il
lingering fever, and the best medical
men of South America We're in attend
ance and had almost despaired of the
countess recovery. One daya wash
erwomau appeared at the palace aud
gave the countess maid "A bark which
she directed TO be given 10 her mis-
tress. The countess rallied, and III a
short time recovered. The strange
bark was then called cinchona bark,
whose praises the vice queen was al
ways singing, Chicago Times.

A Deadly Ring.

n costly ring, unguarded by police
or special Waterman, hangs suspended
by a silken cord around the neck of a
statue of the Maid Of Almodena, the
patron saint of Madrid. in one of the
beautiful parks Of the Spanish capital.
II is sci with diamonds and pearls, not.
withstanding which there is no danger
of its being stolen.
The greatest thief in Madrid would
not touch it any quicker than he would
the plate OF his own mothers collin.
Its history is curious and interesting
and equal to anything found in the
medieval folk lore. The ring was
made for King Alfonso XII, who
gave it TO his cousin, the pretty Mer-
codes, on the day of their betrothal.
Bhe wore it during her short married
life. On her death the king present
cd it to his grandmother, Queen Chris
tina. She died soon, and the king
passed the deadly little circle to his
sister, lnfanta del Pillar, who died
within the month.
Again it started on its deadly rounds,
next finding a place on the finger Of
Christina, the youngest daughter Of
the duke Of Montpcnsier, but in less
than three months She also was dead.
Alphonso next put the ring ia his own
casket and lived less than "A year after
20 doing. No wonder it safely hangs
on a statue in an unguardrd square,

As early as 1900 Americans were
fully alive to The fact that there was
"A value to real estate in and around
cities of this country which id not
attach to that Of any other nation in
the world.
The cause of this is easily under
stood when we stop to think that in
al; other countries up to that time
real property belonged largely not
To the individual but to line of in
heritance-a perpetuity that offered
no incentive to acquisition or trade.
At that time all mercantile pursuits
and trades were looked upon as he
meath the dignity of genteel peo.
pie. and as vulgar adjunct of life
which contributed remotely to their
comfort. Hence men who dealt in
real estate in a commercial way
were looked upon as little better than
professional gamblers. This did
not apply To agents alOne-for they
were little more than servants-but
to anyone who was known 10 be
dabbling in real estate.
Foreigners and descendants Of no
bility living in this country could
not perceive that the will of the peO-
ple was the sovereign of this nation,
aud that individual was an equal
part of the sovereignty, thus attach
ing to them right or joint owner
ship of the nation whose property
they could acquire and convert by
legitimate means into individual
holdings-absolutely III their con
troll, giving them the right to buy
and sell as they please. This value
is best realized when we think it was
an opening for the poorer classes
to acquire homes, and with commen-
dable vigor they sought to secure
property as quickly as possible. The
progressive had faith Ill his govern
ment, in his country and his town,
and when he had secured his home
he added to his holdings and PRO
vided for rainy day" 10y taking ad-
vantage Of his knowledge and oppor-
tunities and buying piece of
property which he knew someone
would come along and want, and
that, too, within very few years,
and at price which would net a
handsome profit. From that day
till now this has been practiced
with profit by the wide awake peo-
pie in every walk Of American life.
II has worked its way across the
continent from east to west and from
north to south, till nearly every
point in America has had II period
of unusual prosperity which Of late
years has been designated by the
suggestive name of booms. Several
years ago California headed all com
petitors and tor several years led the
procession not only of the Pacific
coast but of the entire country.
Hardly had its spirit began to wane
when Washington Territory, with
all the vigor Of q dashing youth,
sprang to the front and has led up
to the present time.

gate, Of Douglas county, used to tell
the story of II land Office official in
one of the land districts OF Missouri
which was about as follows: "a
settler, land speculator, or immi-
grant looking for home, after
spending much time and expense,
would imagine he had found a
vacant piece of land. Going to the
land Office he would make his APP
plicatlOn to purchase said tract.
This land official would give the
land plat n close inspection and
would find some mark thereon
which needed an investigation
The woIld be purchaser was in
vi,ed To wait until 1t could be looked
up. In the meantime the said off
cial would ply the applicant with
questions as To the quality of the
land etc etc, all of which was duly
noted. If the land appeared valua-
ble and the applicant waited it
real bad, the investigation al
ways showed that the land had
been purchased Uy "Sikes." Sykes
being of II speculative turn of mind,
nearly always sold the land to the
man who wished to apply to pur'
chase first for two or three times
The government price. This Sykes"
business became monotonous and u
long-headed juryman got his brother
interested and they found that
sykes was straw man put up
by this government official in order
that he might double and trible his
income every month. "Sikes"
heard OF the action of the grand
jury and he resigned before the
next morning and has not been
heard of since" Who is the
