for this picture than for any of the other

Nature is very particular to conceal
her deformities. and all that is worthless
or ungraceful generally drops off from
tree unless it be an injury to the trunk.
From such effects the tree never recov-
ers. Go into the forests and how often
we see deformed trees, some bent and
twisted, some parted till the original
trunk becomes like two--each crossing
and recrossing the other This was done
by depression or injury to the tree in its
young and tender years. Nature has no
power to right broken law-neither in
the animal nor the vegetable organism

Henry Watterson, the famous Ken
lucky orator lectured in n. Y. city
Monday night, and among other good
things said:
81 shall talk to you tonight as an
American" said Mr.. Watterson by way
of preface, "and whatever suggestions
or contrasts are brought forth will be
considered from purely an American
standpoint. 1t is not my purpose in
taking few guesses at this subject to
dwell upon the economic side of one or
the abstract relationsof theother. Take
the map Of North America and fix it
in your minds eye. What a great en-
pire you behold Cesar never gazed
on the like. Is there anything to mar
the prospect? Is there anything across
the highway Of the future to obstruct
the march of oftriumph? Yes. They are
Canada and Mexico. Canada, where
men with more money than morals fly;
Mexico, where mostaof the men have
money and no morals to speak of.
"Money is relative. The man who
has ten millions cuts poor figure be-
side the one who has hundred mil
lions, while the poor beggar who has
only a measly million is way below
either of them. Not only ismoney rel
ative, but it, is full of illusions and de-
lusions. Money is the first material
fact of which life is scomposed-the pivot
the piston rod which drives everything
else. The man who trades in money is
apt to take on some of the brittleness of
the metal composing it.
"Anticipation is often turned to
naught by the actual realization. The
happiest man is the one who thinks
that his wife is the best woman in the
world, and that his red headed, freckle
faced brats are better than the best
looking and best bred kidsin the world.
| don't mean to say that the poorest are
the happiest, neither are the richest.
Not all of us can get capital prizes or
sit in the high places, but we can all be
happy if we pursue the right course"

his first land decision. 1t was a case
of the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, and involved question of the
right of that company to lands within
its granted limits and the limits of
the grant to the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad company, it basing its claim
on the ground that the later company
never complied with the requirement
in the matter of locating its road and
the forfeiture of the grant in 1876

the Southern Pacific company has ac.

1t will cost you less money to

paint your house with Chiffon Paint
than any other kind. You will use
fewer gallons of it than any paint ever
made, for every shade is mixed and
ground in pure linseed oil seven times,
and therefore will cover more surface
than paint made in an ordinary way.
Not only will it cover more, but it will
last for years if it is applied to dry
surface. Never allow your painter to
work over wet wood. You are sure to
be disappointed. If the pores of the
wood are filled with water, the oil can.
not enter. Better not have your house
painted at all than to have it done bad
ly.
