WHY THAW REFUSED.
Wanted His Sister to Have Sole Con.
 trol of Her Estate.

New York, May 3.-A member of firm of attorneys of this city stated yesterday that the reason why Henry Thaw did not give his sister away at her marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth at Pittsburg was because The disapproved of the provision of the trust deed which permitted about one-eighth of her estate, exclusive of her valuable coke rights, to be settled, al- though she retains all income" The statement goes on to say:
 MT. Thaw had objected strenuously to any arrangement which did not leave his sisters entire estate in her sole con- trol and in the end very little, indeed. of the countess absolute independence was sacrificed
 This explains the change of place and also the delay before the wedding."

A FEW alarmists are beginning TO for.
see decline Of the American race az a
result of the small families now being
raised by the better educated people of
the country. But in estimating the so
called national peril it is not wise to mis-.
construe the individual aspects Of the
question. To our minds the smaller
family means the higher standard of liv
ing, the greater opportunity for children
IL means prolonging the period of in-.

y OF until this government decided TO
dig a canal across the Isthmus of Panama
did the full significance of our future
relations with South America become a
matter Of acute concern. Now, as never
before in the history Of the chronic dis
turbances in South American territory
has the United States felt the necessity
of the most careful exercise Of judgment
and diplomacy. The future of the vast
territory laying south Of Us has within
the past year grown into immense pro-
portions and the powerful protection
afforded it by the Monroe doctrine will
insure it against possible absorption by

The Changed Grizzly.

There are numerous reliable state
ments of grizzly bears having attacked
men, but nowadays the grizzly does not
seek out his human victims, as there
are credible statements that his fore
fathers used to do. Neither does he
lie in wait and, bouncing upon hunt
er, tear him into bloody shreds In de-
lighted fiendishness, as the old time
stories used to tell. The change in the
grizzlys disposition is likened by vet
eran hunters to the change i'm the char
acter of the white cousin of the grizzly,
the polar bear OF the arctics. When
the stations for the Hudson Bay COM
pany were established, the diaries Of
the men there often referred to the
fright Of attacks by polar bears. Many
a navigator I'm the arctic seas has been
clawed and chewed to death by polar
bears. But for nearly century the
polar bear has not been regarded as so
very fierce, and nowadays 1t Is looked
upon as cowardly beast Association
with armed men has modified the polar
bears dlsposition.-Outing.

THE papers were passed in Saginaw
last Saturday and the deal closed in the
largest real estate transaction in the
history OF Saginaw county since the
Chippewa Indians sold about all of the
Saginaw valley to the United States
government in 1919. The deal involves
the passing to the Owosso Sugar Co. of
10000 acres of land, known as the
"Prairie Farm" in the townships of
Albee. James, Spaulding aud st.
Charles, Saginaw county, bordered on
the east, north and west by the Flint
and Shiawa ssee rivers. The land is
said to be wonderfully productive, the
sail being an alluvial deposit with
deep white clay sub soil, the same as is
found in the valley of the Nile in Egypt
The Saginaw Realty company were the
parties who sold the land.

ScotInnd's Round Towers.

Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers from the great
typical group found in Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe-
dral of Brechin and the other stands in
the center Of Abernethy, near the en-
trance gate TO the churchyard. The
Brechin tower. built in six irregular
courses and rising over 100 feet, is the
more perfect of the two. 1t dates from
Kenneth's reign, 971-95. and has most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1I12, found
handsome bells within its walls. These
were afterward removed and now hang
In a neighboring steeple. The origin Of
these towers is now somewhat doubt
full, but psychologists are generally
agreed that they were built in connec-
ton with churches for defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They were afterward
used as belfries, the Brechin tower hav-
ing done duty as such for generations.
The tower is now one of the sights Of
the ancient town and is regarded as a
memorial of its early Connection with
Ireland.-Scottish-
