Hundreds of people used to be passing

to laugh at the crazy looking thing Jack
was putting together, and would ask him
what it was; and Jack would say it was a
ship that was to sail as well on land as

A few weeks afterward he received an
offer from q banker to lend him the
money to put up his mills and establish

pected that tho young man insisted on
knowing how it came about and then he
learned that the Queen had ordered the
investment on the strength OF what he
had told her on the occasion of the visit
to Balmoral. She had also ordered an
investigation of his character and condi-

New York. Feb. s-The actual extent Of
the late Queen of Englands wealth and
her disposition OF It by win is sure to re-
main always a purely family affair, but It
is perfectly safe to say that her savings
and the earnings of her invested capital
have rolled up one of the great twentieth

that the Queen gave time and thought to
her private property, but when she bent
her energies to the considerations of in

the Queen commanded one of the most

to the castle a quantity of HIS wares

shooting on this hill for three hundred
years.
And into the ship. and with the others,

After long and long Jack got into a
great valley that was one hundred miles
wide and ten hundred miles long, and a
bird a beast or living thing in that
valley that he could see. When they got
up 10 the head of the valley they found
one man who was catching birds aud
beasts as fast as they focked into the
valley and making them disappear,
Jack stopped the ship. ana asked him
who he was and what he was doing.
Said he; They can me Eat- We'll, and /
eat every living thing that comes into
this valley-everything that flies, floats,
creeps, crawls or runs"
Well. says Jack. you are a very
wonderful fellow, and ! should like TO
have you in my ship How would you

ship than that one of yours. that can sail
on dry land as we'll as the water. I've

everything that came into this valley for
the last three hundred years"
And he got into the ship with Jack and
Others and off they started again.
Then up II mountain side after some
time Jack was sailing with the ship, and
he thought the ship would be broken into
pieces withs the tremendous shower of
stones that was coming tearing down on
top of them. Jack did not know what
this meant until he got up to the top
and there he found man smashing the
rocks with his hand. and the broken
stones were going down the mountain side
in floods.
Jack stopped the ship to inquire of him
who he was and what he was doing.
"They call me Iron-hand." says he, ''and
I'm smashing all the mountains of this
country"
Then" says Jack, you are a very
wonderful man, and l should very much

And into the ship with Jack and the
others he steps, and Off Jack starts the
ship again.

worn out feeling experienced by so
many women is not due as a rule to
the physical exhaustion of labor, but to

a diseased condition. Yet thousands of
