HIS FACE WAS HIS FORTUNE.
The UgIiest Man In Missouri Gets Out of
,II. In I'd Aanuer-


Trouble In an Un expected Manner.
On the southern edge of Phelps
county lives Scott Swartzlander, who
is considered the ugliest man in Mis-
souri,, and there are some of his neigh
bors who will bet his equal cannot be
produced from any quarter. Swartz
lander, who is thirty years old, says
the st. Louis Globe-Democrat, has
white hair, eyes like a Chinaman, no
eyebrows, a nose of abnormal proper
tions, which lops over almost to his
cheek bone, and il Ornamented at the
end with a beautiful comic bulb. He
il lank and tall, and there are numcr-
Gus other imperfections that add to
this picture of general and particular
ugliness. SwartZlander was arrested
about a year ago for cutting timber on
government lands in Pulaski county,
and when his trial came up at Spring
field before the United States court
the prisoner was promptly arraigned.
While the district attorney was read
ing the judge snid, addressing the di.-
trict attorney: you may enter nollc
prosequi in the prisoners ease. After
a careful scrutiny of his physiognomy
am convinced that any man who is
compelled to carry that face is pun
i-hed quite enough for the amount of
lumber which he is charged with hav-
ing unlawfully taken from government
lands. You are discharged, Mr.. SwartZ-
lander. Gro as quickly as you can, and
don't forget to take your face with
you"
Undoubtedly this decision of the
learned and discriminating Judge at
Springfield, Mo, entities Scott Swartz-
lander to the undisputed title: The
Ugliest Man in Missouri"

Great Britain Has Now PROBABLY E<aehsd
the Limit of Her Expansisn.
The campaign which is now closing
in the country of the Matabeles, the
strongest native people in South
Africa, is evidently to end in confirm
ing the sovereignty of England over
wide region hitherto only nominaliy
included in the British empire There
may, says the Cleveland Leader, be
a historical interest attached To this
event far wider than any business or
social changes in South Africa can be
felt. 1t is quite possible that the most
extensive empire which the world has
ever known is at its stage of greatest
expansion. The regions in America.
Asia, Africa, Oceanica and Euro pc
which are considered British territory
embrace about twelve million two
hundred thousand square miles, or one
fourth of the land surface of globe
Russia and China together do not pos
sess much larger part of the earth
The British empire has been growing
very fast lately by the acquisition of
enormous areas during the partition of
Africa Now, however, the limit must
be about reached. There is compare
lively little territory to seize in Africa,
which can fall into the grasp of Eng
land. On the other hand, the time
draws nearer and nearer when enor-
nous losses must be sustained Can
ada will surely come under the stars
and stripes. The change is only mat
ter of time Australia will inevi-
tably become independent. That
breaking of existing relations is like
wise merely a question of years. About
eight million square miles of land and
lakes and arms of the sea are slowly
slipping from under the paws of the
British lion. India, too, will go some
day, but that loss will probably come
much farther in the future. Whatever
great changes there may be in the
next few decades are pretty sure, at
any rate, to cut down the size of the
worlds most prodigious empire, past
and present.
