The man, in his wisdom, thought he

the land about him for his gardens and
his pastures, and on the lots adjoining
his house he planted an orchard, first
writing to the nonresident owner for
permission.
AS the years went by the houses went
up here and there on adjoining streets.
and one morning he was shocked to see
a load of lumber coming down his own

lots and had been paved with asphalt,
but the lots next to his house were un

This spring the trees in his orchard
bloomed, and the man looked out Of
his window on the non-resident's ad

vines and the flowers in his strawberry
bed, and was glad. He could hardly re

SAVED BY A PARABLE.
Beers Convinced That 1t Was Wiser
to Save jameson and Send Him
Hame Than to Kill Him.

A most interesting account of the
manner in which the lives Of jameson
and his men were spared after the sur
render to the Beers comes from the
News Van den Dag, Amsterdam:
The stern old Beers, when they had
Jameson and his fellow officers in their
hands, determined to execute the lead
ers of the band at day break The meet
ing took place in President Kruger's
house, 20 being present, Of whom the
great majority, wild with indignation
at the sudden iGroad into their terri
tory, were for shooting the British Off
GERS at once.
President Kruger opposed this sum
Cnary plan, and used all his cioquence
and all his influence on behalf Of the
prisoners. For a ,oug time his efforts
were vain. Ii was .oir o'c.ock in thc
morning, and the presidents opponents
were still for execution. The lives of
the foreigners hung by thread.

who agreed with the president, had re-
course to the old-time Boer methods of

LARGEST RANCH IN WORLD.
It's Area Is Greater Than That of
Rhode Island and Delaware
Combined.

1t seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
the largest state in the union-TeXas,
writes William Clinton, in Ladies'
Home Journal. Indeed, this ranch is so
extensive that some states could not
contain it. Connecticut, for example,
could not hold it by several thousand
acres. The two states of Rhode Island
and Delaware combined could not con-
tain this immense ranch, which con-
sists of 100000 acres, or about 5000
square miles.
About dozen years ago, when Texas
needed new state capitol, the legis-
lature adopted novel plan to get it.
A promise was held forth that vast
tract of unappropriated land would be
given in exchange for a suitable gran
lite building at Austin: Among those
tempted by this offer were ex-senator
Charles B. Farwell and his brother
John, who ultimately formed a syndi-
cate in Chicago and took upon them
selves the responsibility of erecting the
proposed capitol. Their part of the
agreement appears to have been car
ried out to the satisfaction OF the state,
and in due time they came into the pos
session of the immense domain now
known as the X l. T. ranch,

DETAILS OF THE INVENTION.

Threaded, and at the base of the
threaded interior a valve seat is
formed. A valve carrier having an ex..
terror screw thread is received within
the casing and carries an inner fleX-
ible tube having an integral flap valve
which, normally inclined, takes firm
seat against the valve carrier. The
plug or cap for closing the valve cas-
ing is threaded and ngitudinally
slotted. Pivoted near it's end in the
slot is tongue which may be caused
to open the valve for debating the
tires. When it is desired to permit the
air to escape the tongue is allowed to
fan from its normal position, so that
the smaller end CT the tongue will
pass through the valve carrier by
screwing the plug or cap inward to I'M
seat the valve. The essential features
of the invention are the improved flap
valve, the upper flange on the casing,
which prevents the inner end of the
casing from coming into contact with
the opposite side of the tire and the
novel Debating device.

great variety, without the severity of
physical strain that produces the alb
normal lungs of the runner, the hol-
low chest Of the bicycle rider, or the
enlarged heart of the oarsman.
1t is a game, too, that does not call
for unusual qualifications in the be-
ginner, and physical capabilities do
not argue particularly in his favor.
To play the game well-even to be
come an eXpert-does not require
powerful arms or legs, great height or
weight, or even particular speed or
agility. Height undoubtedly is an ad-
vantage to Il good tennis player; but
strength is little in his favor, and
weight not at all. Tall men and short
men, stout men and thin men, strong
men and weak men, all have been sue
cessful tennis players. I have even
known a player with but one arm, one
who was badly lame at the hip, and
still another who had the use of only
one eye, and yet all played the game

writer in the Cornhill Magazine, how
the various sick cases had been going

AT once the look which knew so well

fessional pride strove for the mastery
with the due righteousness which the
considered necessary for the occasion.
AT last she evolved the following
strange mixture; "Middling well, sir,

Dealers in bicycles have found thai
there is demand among bicycists this
season for narrow handlebars, and
sponding decrease for the rams
horn or drop bars. The reason as.
signed for this change is that vince
can be more perfectly controlled when
the distance between the grips is less
and it is not 50 tiresome on the arms, a.
they rest nearer to the body and in
more natural position. The leverage on
the stcering-post is not so great, how
ever, as with the wider bars. A dealer.
in speaking of the change. said he
thought the growing tendency for mar
row handle bars was a step in the right
direction, and would in the end result
in riders generally maintaining a cor
rect carriage and proper position, and
eventually do away with the bent back
style of riding.
