PEERS WITHOUT ESTATES.
Titled Folks Who are Compelled to
Work for 3 Living.

London Answers.
So accustomed il the British mind to
associating q title with vast rent roll
and extensive ancestral estates that It
seems almost impossible to grasp the
fact that there are today noble Earls
and other lights Of the peerage OF our
land who cannot lay claim to any rent
roll or ownership OF wide acres at all.
Such, however, IL the undoubted fact
The question came prominently into no
tice with the death Of the recent Earl
OF Perth at that unimposing house by the
side Of Kew Green. Here he had lived
for many years. humble and unknown to
the man In the street. How many OF the
thousands who trooped past his house
into Kew Gardens every holiday ever
thought for a minute that the solitary,
elderly man standing Watching them at
that little gate was no other than the IA.

OF Scotch Earls who had stuck manfully
and bravely to the cause of the Stuarts
and lost their all In land and money by
so doing? In the church close by there

Earl OF PERTH" which often attracted
the attention Of sightseers, but few
guessed that this person was the gentle
man looking from his window opposite
the church as they came out.
Wide lands and noble estates had been
the heritage Of the Drumnionds In CEN
turtles onward from the conquest, this
Earl-recently dead-never held any of
them. They had all been confiscated by
Hanoverian Kings, who resented the ad-
herence Of the Perth family to the Stu
arts.
The Earl Of Caithness now lives In the
far West, where he has built himself a
wood house. which he has named after
his ancestral seat in Scotland--"B erri-
dale farm. The Earls OF Caithness in
olden days used to live at Berridale. in
Caithness, but this estate has now passed
into the capacious store OF the Duke OF
Portland. and the present Earl OF CATH
ness finds himself. II he lands in Scot
land, without a single acre Of land in the
country.
He went to America to seek his fortune
and has settled there. He works his farm
and makes an honest and good living by
It; but az for his rent roll and ancestral
acres-they are totally minus. He has
been a cowboy. has had bush experiences
for ten years and ig yet only 45 years old.
