FOREIGN LAND OWNERSHIP.

Those who consider free trade
policies the only thing for national
prosperity and Individual profit, can
reconcile that idea with the alien
land law, which debars foreign capt.
tai from investing in and holding
Texas realty. There is no i%nconsist.
ency, however, in a protection journal
taking ground against the law. Any
law that makes it possible for alien
landlords to hold large tracts of land
in the United States and farm them
out to leasers, introducing a regular
system of absenteeism, is a system
that should be broken up before it is
begun. Illinois has had eXper-
fence in this matter, and as
q result millions of acres in that state
were farmed out to renters who in
time became the virtual serfs of the
soil, impoverished and yearly grow
ing more so, too deeply in debt to the
alien owner to remove and thus COM
PEELED to accept his terms. In other
cases lands were sold on time, COM
pounded interest was exacted when
payments fell behind and after years
of struggle the landlord owned the
farms, which in many cases were paid
for twice over, and the owner was
reduced to renter and serf. So
notorious was this condition of affairs
that Illinois passed a stringent law
forbidding alien land ownership,
compelling alien holders to close out
their properties within a specified
term Of years, or else become citizens
of the country. Texas wants no such
experiments. The foreign capital
that invests in Texas, or is loaned in
Texas on real security, need not be
driven out. If these foreign money
lenders are compelled to take Texas
lands in any event, an end not desired
by them, the law can be modified
giving them a reasonable time, say
two or three years, to dispose of their
holdings. This will meet every rea-
sonable objection and avoid the dam
ger of Texas falling a prey to land.

Harry came running in with great
glee to show his new writingbook, the

"Why, isn't it as good?" asked Harry.

at Harry's bright face. And then, my
boy, you haven't any plummet.
''Plummet! What is that?" cried
Harry. II shouldn't know what to do
with it if | had one"
Grandma laughed "You don't need
it, my dear, but when | went to school
every child had rule and plummet, for
the books were not lined like yours, and
we had no lead pencils My plummet
was fiat piece of pewter, pointed at
one end and with hole in the other
end, through which a string was put
and tied to the rule. | can remember
that my father made it, the night
before school began, melting the
pewter in the open fireplace. At
the same time my older sister
made my writing-boo She took large
sheets of unruled white paper, folded
them to the right size and sewed them
together with dark covers. The next

KINDS THAT ARE WANTED.

Wanted-a boy that is manly and Just,
One that you feel you may honor and trust,
Who cheerfully shoulders what life TO him
brings,
Its sunshine and pleasure, or troublesome
things;
Whose eye meets your own with no shadow
OF fear;
No vile on the face that is open and clear;
Straightforward in purpose, and ready to
push
For "a bird in the hands worth two in the
bush:''
Who seOrnfully refuses a something to gain,
II it brings to another sorrow or PAIN
Willing TO hold the right ever dear;
Patient, unheeding the scoff or the jeer;
Doing his all with heart elate -
Wanted, that boy, whatever his state.
Wanted girl, not a butterfly gay;
Gentle and sweet IN a wOmanly wav
No beautiful picture, languid and fair
That always seems labeled "Please handle
with care
But one in whose heart is hidden true
worth
And faithfully follows it, mission on earth.
Hopeful and earnest in helping and giving,
Finds plenty TO do in the life she is living,
Filling its duties with quiet content,
Whether adverse or pleasant, just as they're
sent;
In the garb of a Queen, or in homespun ar
rayed,
Whatever her station-is needed that maid.
