KING AMONG HIS FELLOWS,
The British Lord Is a Useful Factor
Whom the Common People
Revere.

Practically, and with only an odd ex-
ception here and there, whether he
be duke, earl, marquis or plain baron,
your British lord is something of a
king in one part of the country or an
other, says London correspondent.
His country castle or seat is sort of
petty fount of social honor; his word
and whims are law within such and
such an area of the countryside; he is
the owner OF the soil; the peoples I'M
titled pastors and masters are often
of his choosing, and deep down in their
hearts the common men who have the
honor to live on his lands and to pay
him rents for the privilege feel that
without him the social fabric would
go to pieces. And, making due allow
ance for his wealth, his lack of occupa-
ton, his long descent, his belief in in
alienable rights of blood, your lord is
on the whole very tolerable, we'll
meaning and even kindly ruler. He
has money to bestow for worthy local
objects; he is interested in the breed
ing of cattle, in flower shows and in
improving farming; he is pillar of
the church and nurturer of church
day schools and his female relations
are always to the fore with blankets,
new shillings and packets of tobacco
for the necessitous.
Also when a queen attains jubilee
or king ascends the throne it is your
lord who is first in the good work of
organizing royal demonstrations in
the way of clock-tower building, bell
ringing, school treats and fireworks.
Further, in this late war he has been
most assiduous in the formation and
equipment of troops of yeomanry for
the service of majesty.

Reflections of a Spinster,

A perfumed man is as shocking as
a woman in wig.
The things he does not possess
hold an infinite charm for man.
A spare man is always called lank
by the women who dislike him.
The wife of dishonest man is one
of life's unacknowledged heroines.
1t is possible for man to divorce
a Josephine and not become a Ma
poleon.
1t is thankless lot to love a man
who is inseparably united with his
business.
There is greater obstinacy among
weak men than there is among the
strong.-Vada Agnew, in Judge.

The Men Handicapped.

1t is predicted there will be fewer
men in shirtwaists this year than last,
says the Chicago Tribune. Aman can't
make a shirtwaist over.

South African Store.

O. r. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays
River, Cape Colony, conducts a store
typical OF South Africa, at which can be
purchased anything from the proverbial
needle to an anchor" This store is
situated in a valley nine miles from the
nearest railway station and about
twenty-five miles from the nearest town.
Mr. Larson says: 81 am favored with
the custom of farmers within a radius OF
thirty miles, to many of whom l have
supplied Chamberlain remedies. All
testify 10 their value in a household
where a doctors advice is almost out OF
the question. Within one mile of my

no less than fourteen have been alb o.
