LORD BUTE'S PALACE.
Magnificent Edifice Erected By the
Marquis on Buts Island.

For more than twenty years work
men have been busy upon the great
house which the Marquis of Butte has
been preparing for his country. seat at
Mount Stuart. on Butte island, off the
coast of Scotland. Now the building is
nearing completion. The entrance hail
to the house alone cost $500, Gee. Mono
18th columns of rare marbles support
an arcaded gallery which is rich in
marbles and bronze and blazes with
fawn color and gold. The flooring is
composed of huge blocks of purple por-
phyry, inlaid with marbles of an in
finite variety of hues and markings
Marble has been used lavishly through
out the whole house. There are three
libraries. in white, red and blue, open
ing one out of the other. In the din
ing room is a great mantelpiece carved
out of the purest parian marble.
The crypt of the unfinished chapel is
used for daily service. and here the
Roman Catholic residents in Butte are
always welcome. On the octave of
Whit Sunday the altar was dressed
with unusual spIendor. A frontal of
solid silver carved and embossed and
gilded here and there, showed with a
dim CLEAN through the shadows of the
wonderfully beautiful Except on the
highest of high festivals it is shut away
in its ponderOus case in the plate room.
Upon the altar are silver vases orna-

Lord Butte is a great lover of ami
mails. On his Mount Stuart estate he
has, among other collections of crea-
lures foreign TO the country, a herd Of
kangaroos and a flock of wild turkeys
from Kansas. His colony of beavers
used to be famous. The late Frank
auckland brought them from Canada
for him. and helped him to give them

Marquis gave away pairs right and left,
hoping to make them once more
common wild animal in Britain. The
keepers in catching them to send away
exercised more zeal than discretion,
and soon the village and curious
dam on the stream beyond the grounds
were deserted, and the poor beavers
were nearly exterminated. However, a
pair migrate to a mountain tarn in the
interior of the island, where they have
built a home for themselves in their
own way Strict orders have been is
sued that they are on no account to
be disturbed-eVen the keepers leave
them alone now-and Lord Butte may
yet accomplish his plan of acclimalza-
ton.

Sqibs From Webster.

You can tell when any one
thinks himself better than 9TH
ers, oy the estimate he places
on others.
There is no one farther from
God and his Christ than the one
who thinks he is better than
other sinners.
There is no greater work than
saving sinners, and as we can
not save them we should be
telling them who can.
Christ did not come tosave
tn righteous, for there was
node to save. and those who
thought themselves, righteous
would not accept his offer of
salvation.
Paul thought if Jesus Christ
would save such a sinner as he
was, there was none that he
would not save, and therefore.
lie preached the gospel to all.
Of all things that have been
said, there is 70 truer saying,
than that, Jesus Christ came
into the world to save sinners. +"
This is what He died, was
buried, rose again and lives for.
We have never known a soul
winner for Christ that did not
recognize himself or herself as
very great sinner, and Christ
as great Savior. Righteous
people in their owl eyes, never
win souls to Christ.
If Paul had thought that he
was better than any other sin.
ner, he would have been exalt-
ed, but as he thought himself
to be the "chlef Of sinners. he
realized he was the least of all
saints.

Some people object to the
substitution of the word Xmas
for Christmas, The former word
had it's origin in polite socie

simple. 1t means exchange of
gifts or presents. 1t does not
signify the birth of Christ, but
it does, if you don't tickle me I

A CANDID CONVERT.

The administration press has loudly
proclaimed the conversion of Mr.
Chavannes, editor of the Des Moines
Globe, Republican who voted for Mr..
Bryan on the money question in 1896
Mr.. Chavannes has returned to the
fold, however; has been elected a Re
publican precinct chairman, and his
paper advocates the election of Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt this year. In an
interview with the Omaha WorldHer-
aid, Mr.. Chavannes gives the follow
ing candid reasons for supporting Nc
Kinley this year:
Il am Republican and do not
have any faith in the Democratic
party. l am giving the Republican ma
tional ticket my support now for the
reason that l believe the election of
Mckinley means Imperialism. By i'm
perialism l mean just what the Demo-
Gratis mean when they call Republicans
imperialists."
He is supporting Mckinley because
ne believes in Imperialism; wants i'm
perialism; and knows what ticket TO
support in order to get Imperialism.
A candidate who is getting converts
because of their avowed belief in i'm
perialism can hardly assert hereafter
that Imperialism is "bugaboo."

ENEMY OF LABOR.

Theodore Roosevelt now pleads for
the vote of the laboring man. On
Labor Day he stood upon the same
platform from which Mr.. Bryan spoke
and said nice things to the horny
handed sons of toll" Mr.. Bryan voiced
the laboring mans complaint against
the Republican doctrine of Govern
ment by Injunction" and in a round
about way Teddy" voiced the same
sentiments. OF course, Roosevelt is
in sympathy with the laboring man.
fle is opposed to Government by In
junction least he says he is; he
is candidate for vice-president now,
you know. There is, however, food
for thought in an article published in
the Review of Reviews" for Septem-
ber, 1896. and written by Theodore
Roosevelt, at that time not a candi-
date for vice-president In that arti-
Gle, page 295, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"The men who object to what they
style Government by Injunction are,
as regards the essential principles OF
government, in hearty sympathy with
their remote skin-clad ancestors who
lived in caves, fought one another
with stone-headed axes, and ate the
mammoth and woolly rhinoceros.
"They are interesting as represent
ing a geological survival, but they
are dangerous whenever there is the
least chance of their making the prin-
ciples of this ages-buried past living
factors in present life.
"They are not in sympathy with
men of good minds and sound civic
morality"
