when another change must come into their
lives. We imagine what the desolate
hearthstonc must have been to Mr.. Buch-
anan; how much of the joyousness of life
passed out when Miss Lane left its por-
tails, and yet she went with his blessing
on her head. Mr.. Buchanan lived two
years later, dying in 1868 Mrs Johnston
and her husband ministered to his last
wants, and his dying blessing was upon
both of them.
We wish we might draw the curtain
here without picturing further suffering
on the part of our heroine. Never was she
more gloriously charming than as wife
and mother. She was as magnetic in her
own exquisite, hospitable home in Balti-
more as she had been in the courts of Eu-
rope and in the Executive Mansion. She
was happy in the matronly duty of train
ing her first born to be worthy of the name
of James Buchanan Johnston. But the
greatest bereavement of her life she had
yet to meet-that of the early loss OF both
her husband and son. She spends many of
her Winters in Washington. In her sOmber
robes she moves among her friends with
the same elegant, gracious air as of old,
but the sorrows of her heart have made
their impression. American womanhood
has been lifted up by the life and exam
pie of Harriet Lane Johnston, and her
ow-countrywOmen, who watched her
daily life when she was their representa-
tive before the world, and were proud of
the grand, womanly characteristics that
reflected honor always upon her country,

ward those who differed with us in what
we thought for the best and highest good
of all in that day and generation.
When the land was filled with discord
and passion, Miss Lane was faithful to her
country, and when the hour came to Law
aside the honors of the White House, she
left it, carrying with her her country's re-
spect and love.
She returned to Wheatland with her
uncle, sharing the delights OF his home and
enjoying the seclusion of private life.
which neither of them had known for
many years. Soon after their return Mr..
James b. Lane died, leaving Harriet
without brother or sister; all the others
she had seen pass over, after the home
was broken and she had entered into pub
lie life with her uncle. Now the last fam
lily chord was snapped, and she drew more
closely than ever into the companonship
of her uncle. But in 1866 the old home in
Wheatland was again gay with life and
happiness. Friends had assembled from
over the land to witness the wedding fes-
tiyities OF Miss Lane and Mr.. Henry e.
lott Johnston, of Baltimore. Amid the
gayety, the music. the flowers, nothing
gave the note Of sadness that wigs lurking

much work, and some very important
work, 1t dealt with nearly two thou

changing the constitution. 1t increased
the number of Superior court judges to

elected by the Legislature. 1t placed the

S. W. Allerton, the Chicago million
aire has the proud distinction of being
the biggest farmer in the world, and he
has reason to believe that farming can
be made to pay. He has been engaged
in it for forty years and has made a
huge fortune from the products of his
lands. He IS not a rancher in the sense
that he has large holdings of land in
one body. His possessions include more
than seventy independent farms COM
posed of something like $4,000 acres, of
which he keeps 10000 acres under cult

this king of farmers, SIS that farming
pays, and pays well. For the sake Of
illustration I can say that in one year

net profit of $4,000. This tract Of
land cost me $4,000. 1t was bought at
a time when faith in farm values was
low, and when the young men of that
region were in a hurry to get away
from the farms into the cities, where
they would have fair chance to make
their fortunes. The question of wheth-
er farming pays is well answered by
the fact that quite recently three farm
ers in Central Illinois left, at their
death, fortunes of more than three mil
lions each, all of which was made in
farming In the same general region I
can find scores of farmers who are
worth from 100000 to $4,000 And
these are the straws which go to show
that farming can be made to pay on
big as well as small scale"

time increasing their exports in a man
ner which proves interesting to those
who have watched the development of
this comparatively new industry in the
United States. The exports of tin plates
from the United States, which in the
amounted to only 1855 pounds, and in
the ten months ending with April 1900,
to 1853 pounds We're, in the ten
months ending with April, 1901, 1906, 100
pounds. In imports of tin plates the
figures for the ten months show a ma
terial decrease as compared with the
quantity imported during the same pc
Rod of the preceding fiscal year, being
SO, 609,722 pounds, as compared with
12359S,773 pounds for the ten months

one-tenth those of 1891, the year of the
