known to have been planted 200 years

1t seems that there is one city in the
world which not only escapes taxes,
but pays a dividend on it's inhabitants.
This unique town is Gallnow, Hun
gary, which derives so much revenue
from it's woods, pastures and farms
that the corporation furnishes citi-
zens with free fuel. The most of the
money comes from forests carefully
guarded against waste.

1888 he was sent by the pope to govern
B~enevento, a principality under the

whole task Of making the path of true

Charley had firm ideas as to the de-

that permitted a girl to surrender grace

the position of a rejected sutton. 1t will
be seen at once that these young people

Overtonia was a new coal mining town
built ON the foundation of an old noun
tain village.
When the white front gate clicked
and the thin bent figure Of the coal
Company's president came slowly up the
walk, everybody ON the gallery shifted
position a little as an unconscious ex-
preston Of Difference, and as the dignita-
ry drew nearer the two young men Of
the party rose to their feet, but though
the apparent difficulty of his movement
might have seemed to sanction such
courtesy they did not offer him an arm
up the steps. They we'll knew that the
colonel would not appreciate such at
tention. The colonel's clean shaver
dark face wore an odd characteristic ex-
preston, because his brows were knit,
and his lips and keen blue eyes were
family and quizzically smiling When
he reached the top of the steps, he lift
ed his broad soft hat to the ladies and
took a look at everybody. "I'vego some

name.
Not all the wealth OF all the land and sea
Could buy that dear old ragged cap Of me-
They tell me it is wrong to grieve like this;
That should look with hope and faith
above;
That he is happy In that realm OF bliss,
And does not need my careful mother love
tbs kindly meant they speak the best they
know;
But, oh! cannot, yet forget my woe.
Mrs Louise ]. Strong, In Home and Country
