A significant story of the conditions
prevailing in the part of South Amer

is told by Peter MacQueen, the Boston
traveller, whose wanderings are as
wide as the hemisphere, says the New

MOST VALUABLE GROUND.
City Lots in New York That Are
Priced Higher Than Any other
in the World.

The highest priced land in the
world is that bounded by Wall and
Broad streets and Broadway, in low
er New York city, says Success. A
square foot of ground on a corner
of Broadway and Wall street cannot
be had for less than $3.50. The mos.
expensive land in London sells for
$500 a square foot. The average price
of land in New York city's financial
district Is about SITS. Next in the
scale comes the woman's shopping
district, from Fourteenth to Twenty
third streets, on Sixth avenue, and
from Thirty-fourth street to Forty
second street, on Broadway. Here
land ranges all the way from 500 to
$3.50 square foot. On the north
west corner of Broadway and Thirty
fourth street the latter price was
obtained. The real estate man VIII ,

population on Manhattan Is in po-
sition to realize fortune. The
growth of Brooklyn and Jersey City
has checked the movement of the
population north, and it is said the
most valuable land on Manhattan
Island will always remain south OF
Central park. The lower half of the
island will soon have nothing on 1t
except office buildings, factories and
tenement houses.

SOME BIRD VIBRATIONS.
Instances of Prairie Chickens and
wild Turkeys Leaving Home
for Strange Lands.

Game birds sometimes make extern
sive migrations, even though of a spe-
cies not commonly migratory, states
the New York Sun.
Prairie chickens, some years ago,
flew northward from Illinois and the
adjacent country, and thousands
alighted in the limits of cities and
towns in their path, notably in Detroit,
Mich. Other thousands were drowned
In Lake Superior while trying to fly
across that lake. Others got over
SAFELY and took up their homes In the
Canadian burned regions beyond the
great lakes.
What induced these birds to mi
crate from region where the race
had been native beyond all memory
of man has never been explained.
Wild turkeys migrated in similar
manner from Michigan in the days
when that game bird was abundant
there. They had been hunted per-
sistently for years, when suddenly
they all disappeared.
They travelled due west, and 1t is
on record that "the flock was a guar
ter of a mile wide, and was several
hours in passing" Soon after that
strange exodus wild turkeys appeared
in great numbers in the far west in re-
gions where they had never been be-
fore, and where their progeny is still
abundant.

KISS HIM.

Curly-headed little boy,
Tired of talk and tired of toy,
Upturned face, not clean, may be,
Restless little fellow he;
Kiss the gathering tears away,
Let not rainfall spoil his day.
Do you know that just kiss
In a weary world like this,
Given to a little child,
Thought to be so rough and wild,
May direct a heightened life
From the paths of sin and strife?
See! the cunning little face
Looks at you with its winsome grace;
Like a crocus in the snow
Does the brightness overflow
All the chill and gloom-and' this
Is the harvest of kiss!
Sunny-curled, with eyes of blue,
Heart of love, with spirit true
Willful, wayward, freaksome, wild,
Just because he is a child;
Love-you cannot love amiss,
Give the little one a kiss.
