Even Tempered Women

| There is a charm about the woman OF
even temper which we especially ap.
| preciate. says the Chicago Journal. In
fact. we are disposed to assert that no
more charming woman than the even.
| tempered one can be found at any tine
OF the year.
| How depressing, in contradistinction,
is the society of that other woman who
Is in high spirits one day and has the
blues the next. 1t is usual for such an
individual to plead the weather as an
excuse And that reminds us:
There was once a little girl. Who. on

1t was her father. sensible man, who
made answer quietly:
"If you give way to that sort of
thing you will make yourself and other
people very unhappy, and you will have
very few friends"
He said ii in the decisive way in
which some individuals know how to
say things. and it made an impression.
How much discomfort was saved the
friends and relatives of that little girl,
not to speak of her future husband. by
that short speech. it would be impos
sible to estimate.
How foolish it is, when ore comes
to think of it, this fretting because the
weather isn't all we would like it to
be. AS if there were any possibility OF
controlling it. or as if any good purpose
were served by making ourselves
disa greeable.
The eventempered woman seldom
notices the weather. unless it be to de.
eide whether TO take along an umbre!

temperature. Her society is rest and

 Imagine an American citizen turning down such an offer To let slip the op- pOrtunity to pay taxes on lot of real estate would drive him to the grave or a madhouse
 If the amount of land under taxation which is idle and of no benefit to the owners were annihilated there would be so many holes in the Western Continent that one would not dare go out after dark for fear of falling off the earth.
 What we need is less land and more improvement. Concentration of thought, energy and attention will do more for the country and more for the individual than this greedily reaching out to ob- tain possession of all in sight.
 It is this mania of acquisitiveness which leads individuals to overstep the bounds of the law and the recent land frauds are the fruits of this greed-insan- ity.

THE MANIA FOR LAND
Small Farms We'll Titled Better Than
 Great Ranches

Great Ranches
 The press has given great deal of space of late to the land fraud cases. There seems to be a mania, on the part of some, to acquire title 10 a greater portion of the earth. It is trait or mania which has been growing upon Americans for some time.
 Take the average farmer, for instance. He starts out with a hundred or two hundred acres, and with the help of a hired man or two, manages to slightly cultivate about 10 acres, mows 20, grazes 30, and lets the rest grow to cactus and cockleburrs and other foul stuff.
 Then he makes the discovery that there is land adjoining his on the north. Immediately he becomes impressed with the idea that he needs that adjoin- ing 100 acres to make his farm complete He bickers and dickers with the owner till he succeeds in striking bargain, and then he puts mortgage upon his oi iginal plat and adds the new territory to his possessions.
 He cannot afford another hired man he is almost inclined to let the one he has go, for there is the interest on the mortgage to provide for-but by work ing little later at night and getting up little earlier in the morning, he man. ages to increase the area of cultivation to 15 acres, the meadow to 25 and the pasture to 40 ard lets an additional 80 acres grow to weeds.
 One day he wanders off down by the south line of his farm and, To there is land there which he does not own. He is again attacked with the fever of ac- quisitiveness and in time there is an- other mortgage and the line fence is moved south few rods.
 Then he explores the east and west lines with like results and later finds there is still more land beyond his new borders till finally the mortgages eat him, his farm and family up and there is sheriff's sale and change of owner ship.
 It IS much the same way with the town resident who owns his little cot tase. First it is few feet more land to make the lot more roomy, then it is the house next door which is so much nicer than the cottage. Then there must be a larger house and when that is com pleted there is q dwelling on the other side which obstructs the view and the lot is purchased and the house moved off. Thus it goes, always reaching out for that which lies beyond.
 What pity the modern land-grab- bers could not look upon matters from the standpoint of Denatus, the Roman consul who defeated Pyrrhus who, when
