The KINGS Tarf VII

King Edward, who is of a kindly
and generous disposition, has a tart
wit when needful. Not so long since
an American woman residing in Paris
wrote him a long letter to the effect
that if he would send her a personal
memento" of his mother she would
give a sum of money to any charit-
able institution he might designate.
The king replied through his secre-
tary. He begged to say that he had
the pleasure of forwarding the ''per-
sonal memento," as desired. He add
ed that the London hospital was in
need of funds. Enclosed was a half
crown piece, these pieces bearing the
efigy of the dead queen.-N. Y. Sun.

Travelling KurdS,

The inhabitants of Jelu, in distinc-
ton to those of the other valleys of
Tiari and Tkhuma, are wonderful trav-
elers, making begging tours to all parts
of the world. Consequently, people
talking a little English are easy to find,
but it was rather disconcerting to be
addressed in a strong American accent
by a man who had been through the re-
cent Spanish war as an American
sailor. but who has just returned to
tend his home farm, the sense of at
tachment to this little canton in a val
ley under Geliashin being stronger
than the delights of civilization. One
old fellow, who had finished his trav-
cling days, said he knew London we'll,
but the only name he could just then
remember was Bow street. Another
was returning with a comrade from a
successful our in the Brazils. when his
friend died off Lisbon, leaving e175,
which was handed over t. the Turkish
consul at Lisbon until proof of next-of-
kin relationship was established. The
man was starting for Lisbon last
spring. This gives a good idea of the
extraordinary way in which these peo-
pie exploit the whole world in their
tours.-Geographical Journal.

NEW WORLD TO CONQUER.
Six Hundred Millions of Good Amer.
lean Acres That Are Still
Unused.

Some interesting facts regarding
the great size and possibilities of our
country were brought out at one of
the recent hearings before the COM
mittee on irrigation of arid lands. It
is not usually realized, especially by
people in the east, that an enormous
area of u country, 600, OOO, 900 acres
in extent, lies unutilized. This is an
area larger than the whole of Europe
and big enough to furnish land for a
dozen Old World kingdoms. Of course
a good deal of it is, and always will
be, unfit for the support of a large
population, but with proper manage
ment, it is destined to become the
home of thousands and even millions
of people, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
This great tract lies entirely west
Of the mississippi valley and extends
over the Rocky mountains, the Great
Desert and into California. Much OF
it at present is a barren and desolate
wilderness with too scanty a rainfall
to provide the necessary moisture
for any but the hardest vegetation.
Irrigation is to effect the change.
Years of successful experience in the
artificial watering of land has proved
beyond doubt its wonderful efficiency
in certain portions of this arid sec
ton, in California, in Colorado and
so hat it is but a question
of capital and enterprise before the
whole large problem will be solved.
year sees an advance toward
this desirable end; congress has some
phase of the matter constantly be-
fore it; the United States geological
survey has rendered valuable assist
in determining the flow of the
rivers, which must be used for water
supply, surveying and estimating the
costs of dams and reservoirs and
pointing out past mistakes and errors
may be avoided.

But old Fernando was shrewd. His
love for his daughter was well adj
,aixed with ambition, and, as he saw
her growing into a beautiful woman
hood. he had no thought of seeing
her tied to a hopeless paralytic. If
she would go quietly to her relatives
in Juarez like a good girl, he told her,
she might come back in the spring,
out she could not stay now. Juana
was going away, he himself had to go
to Mexico, and it was not decorous
for her to even think of staying. So
he began; but seeing his argument
falling on deaf ears, he became exas-
perated by her defiance. He swore
that ii she dared stay h would be
no longer a daughter to him. he would
turn her out of the house. and she
and her paralytic lover would be beg
gers.
In vain she turned TO Dixon for
consolation For the first time in her
