Spend Little on Living.

Eight hundred miles east of the
coast of Peru is blazing desert. where
rain never falls. It's very dryness gives
part of this great plain immense value,
for the deposits of nitrate of soda have
never been water-washed and are Of
huge value. Twenty years ago an En-
glishmans called Howard Webster in
vested over 100000 in a great tract of
this rich mineral land. Then he set
tied down near the little town of San
Mario, in the mountains, where he and
his family live on the fruit he grows on
five acres of land. Ten dollars a week
cover their entire expenses. His prop
erty on the coast would fetch now ten
times what he gave for it, yet he neith-
err sells nor works it. 1t is whispered
that he is waiting till he can dispose OF
it for such a sum as will make each of
his three children a millionaire.
Knowing his son Matthias gambling
propensities, the late Baron Won Sitlar,
who made 81, 100000 in beet-sugar re-
filming, very wisely left all his money
in the hands of trustees, who were to
pay Matthias the income half-yearly.
The first weeks Of January and July in
each year Matthias spends in regal
splendor, generally at Monte Carlo. The
rest of the time he lives on borrowed
money. But of late years his friends
have become tired of lending and pro-
fessional money lenders, who know
that he cannot touch his capital, will
Lave nothing more to do with him. At
present this heir to 100000 year is
living in a back street in Antwerp on
less than s. a week.

Hall ROBERTS HOME.
Field Marshal Back from South Africa
l. IinniZed.

Is IllOuAISus
After a long ocean voyage from battle
fields in the southern hemisphere Field
Marshal Lord Roberts, communicating
chief of the British army, arrived at
Cowes, Isle of Wight, and was personally
welcomed by Queen Victoria in Osborne
House. As the Canada came up the sea
road the spectacle of ships gayly dress
ed, sea front decorated with bunting
and Venetian masts, with troops drawn
up along theroute TO Osborne House and
cheering SightseerS, must have been pleas
ant to this veteran warrior, who Mt an
age when most men are quitting the ac-
tive duties Of life comes back to England
to be greeted with new honors for bril-
liant military successes. Notwlthstand-
ing the present ominous outlook for the
British in South Africa and the pros
poets for q continuance of the war Lord
Roberts was supposed to have ended
months ago the English do not forget
that until the appearance of the veteran
on the African scene the history of the
Transvaal war on the British side was
one of almost uninterrupted disaster and
defeat.
Now that the general who ''organized
victory" out of defeat in South Africa has
returned affairs may take another shape.
In any event Lord Roberts has fairly
won the position of commande~inch chief,
his earldom. the Order of the Garter, the
applause of his fellow countrymen and
the praise Of his Queen.
Seldom has there been so general a
demonstration of affection on the part of
the people Of London as took place on the
occasion Of the entrance to the city of
Field Marshal Lord Roberts. The
crowds were not so dense as in some OF
the late war celebrations nor was the
disorder as great, but the welcoming OF
the general formed fully as Important an
! event as any of the late jubilations.
A dispatch from London says it is al
most certainly decided that Mr.. Kruger
will 90 to America in February, probably
accompanied by w. T. Stead, who viii
make a ringing campaign in behalf OF
stopping the war. Mr.. Stead has started
for Paris in company with John f. Mil
holland, who bore an invitation from
prominent New Workers to Mr. Kruger
to visit America. While in Paris they
will see the leaders of the arbitration
movement in Europe and decide definitely
on plans

Latin nnd Presentations.

Latin is more precise than English.
Being dead language, it is not sub
ject to constant change as. the English.
The Latin name is usually descrip-
tive of some prominent feature in the
object, and so is more easily remem-
bered.
For these three reasons. scientific
names are usually in Greek or Latin,
and the drugs have the same names
in the pharmacopelia as in the sci
ences, that describe them.
Most of the drugs have no English
names.
Latin is the international language
of scholars.
1t is best for unscientifc persons not
to Know the names Of drugs similar in
so many respects and deadly in others.

That Full inner Pail.

Prosperity does not appear to be
quite so widely diffused among the mill
hands as they were led to expect before
the election. SO many mills are shut
ting down just now as to leave some
thing to be explained. OF course we
shall be told of temporary conditions
that necessitate this action. But, then,
we were told last fall that it was not
trade conditions, but Mckinley, that
made prosperity, and that if we re-
elected, him we should all have good
wages for at least four years more.

he is. He was in South Omaha, how
ever, the day before the kidnapping and
to an acquaintance. who had engaged him
in conversation, said: II have something
big on; you'll hear from me soon" A
few weeks before that time he had told
another acquaintance in South Omaha
that he was hard up. But" he added,
''if l had a few dollars with which to
buy some cooking utensils, a few window
blinds and rent a small cottage for thirty
days / would make the investment pay
handsomely and we could have plenty of
Christmas money"
1t is supposed that Grove on both oc-
casions referred to the kidnapping of
young Cudahy That crime was under
consideration long time as one of the
kidnapers told young Cudahy that the
Cudahy house in Omaha had been under
surveillance for two months.
The belief of the police that Grove
was concerned with the kidnapping is
strengthened by the fact that the woman
who owns the cottage in which young
Cudahy was imprisoned has identified
Groves photo as that of the man who
rented the house from her.
