Farm and Home: Chicago
has voted by an overwhelming
majority TO adopt the Torrens
or Australian system of land
registry and transfer. By this
plan, all titles to land are care
fully investigated by the city,
and after five years their valid
ity is guaranteed by the city.
A receipt is given for each
deed to real estate, and the
land may then be mortgaged or
sold, by having this receipt
properly endorsed and record
ed. Numerous Offices will be
opened at which such records
may be entered at a cost Of 30
cents, and in a very few min
utes, and there is no further
risk about the title. By this
means it is made as easy and
as inexpensive to use real
estate as security for a loan, OF
to buy and sell real estate, as
it is TO handle personal proper
ty. Thi' wipes ont all the
delays, expenses, and risks
attendant npon land transfer
under the common system
which is specially designed fol
the benefit of lawyers. We
see no reason why the new
system should not become as
popular as has the Australian
ballot.

SHIPPING TEXAS VEGETABLES

Several commission merchants of
Houston are now shipping South
Texas vegetables TO North Texas,
Kansas City, st. Louis and other
points. The cabbage grown in this
section is recognized as very fine
shipping article and is being sent
North in large quantities. Not only
do IIouston's produce dealers fill all
orders from the interior with the ar
ticle grown around this section, but
the commission men are now ship
ping Texas cabbage to points that
formerly supplied this city. Let
tuce, mustard, green onions, parsley,
beets and carrots are also being sent
to Northern cities and are meeting
with a very ready sale. This is Ger
tainly a wonderful change, and
shows that the truck growers are be-
ginning to realize the possibilities
of Texas soil and climate. Early
vegetables are always in demand
and this States can produce them
earlier than any other part of the
Union.-Iiouston Post.

by Chinese forgers on the island of

In order to get the notes accepted

ed under arrest, including CAPITA N

men in Java. 1t is believed by the

confessed to having committed the
forgeries and implicated many other

DON'T LET TEA STAND.

If only one pot of tea can be made
for family taking their luncheon
at different hours, every housewife
should see to it that the tea does not
stand with the grounds in it longer
than from three to five or seven
minutes. After that time pour the
tea into another pot and throw the
grounds away. If you haze only one
teapot, infnse the tea in some other
vessel, pottery of some kind is best,
and pour into the pot. In this way
the injurious effects of the tannin
which is drawn out of leaves after a
long infusion is avoided, and you
save yourself, your friends, and
family from becoming tea maniacs.

GREELEY's EARLY LIFE
IContfnued from First Page.
evening reading.

years old he read Shakespeare
thoroughly. At this time he
was very poor, living on a half
cleared farW in Vermont and
working with his father clear
ing the land. With his brothers
and sisters, he made the prin-
eipal meal of the day on bean
porridge, the children Sitting
on the flour !around a five
quart pan, eating from the
same dish. His mother testified
that it cost not more than So a
year to clothe Horace.
The turning point in his life
came when he was 10 years old
and entered the printing Office
of Amos Bliss at Ponltney, VI.
as an apprentice. He was
bound out for five years, during
which he worked hard at his
case, improving his mind the
while and sending, his meager
earnings to his father, who was
now struggling TO clear another
farm in the woods of Pennsyl-
vania. He derived much pleas
IRE and benefit from the Public
Librfry at Poultney and exer-
sised his taste for composition
by setting up original para
graphs for the paper. His
dominating intellect drowned
AL base passion and kept him
from the allurements of life
of pleasure at this time. I here
was one thing about the young
apprentice, sshowever, a habit
which stuck to him all through
life; he. was luridly and pictur
esqnely profane.
At the beginning of the fifth
year of his apprenticeship the
paper for which he worked
failed and he started for Penn
sylvania, where he remained at
his fathers house to recover
from an illness. The next few
months were hard times for
young Greeley, as work was
scarce in that portion of the
country and the pay was poor.
Finally he gave up the effort
there and started for the metro
polls, going down the Hudson
River on a towboat. He landed
at the Battery in New York
with just $40 in his pocket, and
engaged board in saloon at
$3.50 per week. His first few
months i'll New York City was
period Of struggle, and mark
ed by proverty and privation.
