when there was a majority in earn
est in desiring to reach vote. So it
will in this instance. When in the
Fifty third Congress the bill to repeal
the silver purchasing clause of the
Sherman act the opponents of that
measure of reform fought desperately,
first to prevent a vote and secondly to
defeat the proposition, they fought in
vain. The long delay was due to the
fact that it took long time to bring
a majority of the Senators to vote for
unconditional repeal, but when such
a majority was in existence it did not
take long to reach vote. All night
sessions were held at which nothing
was done but talk. 1t was at one of
these that Allen, of Nebraska, now
on the State branch of. Nebraska,
made his celebrated record as long
distance orator by taking the floor at
eight o'clock in the evening and hold
ing it till quarter to seven the next
morning, speaking all the time. In
spite of all this vote was had and
the silver purchasing clause was re-
pealed unconditionally. And at that
time the majority was made up Of
men of both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties. Now the Republi-
cans alone can pass their bill without
help from any source, though it is ex-
pected that Gallery, of Louisiana and
Lindsay, of Kentucky, both Gold
Democrats, will join the Republican
majority in passing the bill through
the Senate.

sleep, when one of the mules remem
bered that he had not stepped on any
one for some time, and started through
our line with a jump. He upset the
gunstacks for six feet on each side of
him, and stepped on every one in sight.
Heads, faces and legs were all the
same to him, and he made bigger row
in short time than a dynamite crack
er would in Sunday school conven-
ton.
''He stepped on everybody in the
company but me, and was up in the
air when he went by. The rest of the
night we were kept awake by the guard
trying to talk the mule out of the no
ton of doing it all over again. You

BETTER THAN
WALL STREET

are investments made in Van CortIandt
Terrace Restricted Villa Plots, and your
money is as safe as if it Wasin bank. Now
that money is plentiful and people do
not know where to put it so as to get
revenue exceeding 4 or per cent, atten-
ton is naturally turning to real estate.
The fact is, people who 60 into stock
investments, such as Wall Street, are
like unto those who 60 to sea in ships,
for no one knows when they will return.
They are wholly at the mercy of the
winds and waves of chance.
Whereas, properly selected real estate,
such as Van Cortlandt Terrace Re-
stricted Villa Plots, always has value
as substantial and enduring as the Gov
eminent under which it exists. Being
near to an established and prosperous
city like New York, it grows in value
by the reflex effects of the thriving
community approaching, and secures
the quiet but unering accretions of
every improvement made upon or
about it. There is no risk whatever in
buying such property. 1t is right in the
line of advancement, and, like the &C
emulation of interest, grows night and
day and in all kinds OF weather, when
asleep or awake, in sickness and in health.

REMEMBER

the first purchasers get the choicest plots
and make the most money. There will
be big advance in values before the
year is out. If you are looking for an
investment that will double, yes, treble
in value, or want a desirable location
