NATIONAL FARM WEALTH.

Commenting on the estimate that
the value of the products of the farm
during 1904, excluding the value of
crops fed to live stock to avoid duplica-
ton, was "a, COG, 900, 600 the Secretary of
Agriculture, in his annual report,
says:
"An occupation that has produced
such an unthinkable value as one ag-
gregation nearly $4,000. 100000 within
a year may be better measured by
some comparisons. All of the gold
mines of the entire world have not
produced since Columbus discovered
America a greater value of gold than
the farmers of this country have
produced in wealth in two years; this
years product is over six times the
amount of the capital stock of all
national banks; it comes within three
fourths of a billion dollars of equaling
less the cost of materials used; it is |
twice the sum of our exports and i'm |
ports for a year; it is three times the
gross earnings from the operations of
the railways; it is four times the value |
of all minerals produced in this coun-
try"

WOULD REMOVE
THE GUARDIAN
A CLAIM THAT KALAMA WAS APP
POINTED TO POSITION THROUGH
FALSE INFORMATION GIVEN.

a petition has been filed in the Cir
cult Court by Rebecca Kanahele ask
ing for the revolving of the commission
granted by Judge De Bolt making r.
p. Kalama guardian of Kahoopiopio
(w) and Mahoe (w.) They are
both minors and the petitioner wishes
to be made their guardian. She asserts
that Kalama made false statements as
to his relationship to the minors and
further alleges that Kalama's petition
was filed in the court clerks Office
about IL o'clock in the forenoon of Sep
TENDER q last that no summons or
citation of any nature was issued in
pursuance thereof, nor any notice Civ
en- to said minors or either of them, nor
to your petitioner i'm whose family said
minors then lived (and with whom said
KahoopiOpiO still ives), of the filing of
said petition or of any proposed hear
ing thereof"
She AYERS that on the afternoon of
the same day, September p, a hearing
upon the petition was proceeded with
before Judge De Bolt, as a result of
which Kalama was appointed guardian
of the persons and estates of the mi
nOrs.
The petitioner says that Kahoopiopio
is owner of an undivided one-half in
terest of valuable lands near Luakaha
in Nuuanu Valley, of an area of about
nine acres, and that Mahoe is the own
er of certain interest in real estate at
Waipahu, Oahu, of value unknown to
petitioner. She alleges that Kalama
has never contributed anything toward
the support of the minors and makes
statements regarding his mode of liv-
ing to show that he is unfit to be the
guardian of the girls. c. W. Ashford is
attorney for petitioner.

How Dick Wootton's Man Showed the
 Way to the Engineers.

How Dick Wootton's Man Showed the
 Way to the Engineers.
 An hours Journey south of Trinidad there is a farm in a bautiful valley, where the grass lies like carpet be- tween the vineyards and the foothills, where a gushing stream flows out of the mountains and gives moisture to the cultivated fields, and sometimes in the spring of the year, goes on and washes out a section or two of the rail- road on the other side of the farm. In the middle of the valley is an adobe house, built when the first railroad sur- veying party came along as the heralds of prosperity-an old-fashioned place now, where once, in the prime of his wild life, Dick Wootton lived. There, al- so, he thought out the scheme or plot, that cast a shadow over all the rest of his days and left him, a conscience stricken, fearful man, who never went out of his own home after darkness had settled on the earth. And as if the im- aginary dangers that fretted him were not enough in punishment for what he had done, one summer day in the lone- ly canon near the summit of the range, blindness came on in his old age and made him trouble at every unusual sound.
 Oftentime it was pitiable to see this man, whose name had been associated for years with the early railroad build ing of Colorado and New Mexico, tot tering around the ranch, sitting for a moment or two in the sunshine, and 1 then, as if he had heard a voice that reached the ears of no one else, rising hastily to grope his way back to the safety of his office" the one room in the ramshackle old 'dobe, wherein he 1 felt himself beyond intrusion. Some times, it seemed, his mind was not strong. What if do see?" he whined in a querulous voice. Tive seen enough. 1 There's only the mountains, anyway, and the vineyards and yes-tlere' s the mine, away up there in the canon 1 I remember the mine well enough.
 That was twenty years ago, and about the old man there still chung the flavor of romance. Like. many of his kind, Dick had allowed his hair to grow until it hung like a mane over his broad shoulders a dark brown mass that re- ceived much attention in his younger days, but fell sadly neglected in the mans seclusion, towards the end of the Ilchapter. Twenty years! Dick was a hero then in young eyes--but time has much to do with changing one's point of view and somehow the needs that made him then worthy of admiration seem now to cause a shudder.
 When Dick Wootton moved into the valley he came from the North. Some said he had been over in Arizona for a time trading with the wealthy Maya.

the construction placed by Montpensier upon the tokens of good will bestowed by Queen Isabella upon young fisher man who had attracted her notice while at the sea baths, during the year pre- vious to the birth of the princess. Again it was the duke who openly ascribed the paternity of the late King Alfonso to Marshal Serrano. In fact, .Montpen- sier lost no opportunity of circulating stories affecting the honor and rsputa- ton of the sister-in-law who was not only his queen but also his benefactor.
 It was he who played a leading part in the revolution which resulted in her abdication and exile in 1868, in the vain hope of being elected by the Cortes to succeed her on the throne. But while the Spaniards were unwilling to put up any longer with Isabella, they were much too disgusted by the base in- gratitude which had characterized the intrigues of the duke against her to permit him to have any voice in the government of the nation.
 From the time that she abandoned her throne, thirty-six years ago, Queen Isabella lived abroad, making her home in Paris, where she purchased the pal ace built by the Russian millionaire Basilewski, near the Arc de Triomphe, and converted it into a. thoroughly regal abode, her summers being usually spent at some chateau in the neighborhood of the capital, which she hired for the sea- son.
 l Only once did sine return to Spain, namely, during her sons lifetime, and then he was forced to ask her to leave the kingdom, owing to the fact that the opponents of his government endeav- ored to take advantage of her presence and of her good nature to make capital against the administration. Her grand son. the present king, has, in conse- quence, been 3 stranger to ner. For, al- though she was anxious to visit Spain during his minority, for the purpose of seeing him, it was considered at Mad rid that her stay in the kingdom would merely contribute to increase the diff | faculties of the foreign born queen re- gent, and incidentally to impair the safety of the throne.
 l But she was always treated with the
 utmost distiction and honor while
 abroad by the Spanish court and gov- ernment, which latter repeatedly paid the heavy debts she incurred, owing , to her excessive generosity and her in- ability to comprehend the value of
 money. She was on excellent terms
 with the French republican govern
 ment. In fact, she always manifested good deal of confidence in republicans, for President Grevy was in France un- ltil he became chief magistrate, while Senor Salmeron, was for many years
 her legal representative south of the
 Pyrenees.
 No member of the Spanish royal fam l fly, and, indeed, no foreign monarch or
 scion of any of the reigning houses of
 Europe ever passed through Paris with
 out visiting her, while the Spanish en- bassy on the banks of the Seine was in everything, save in political question. at her service. Her husband, from
 whom she had been separated after her
 arrival in France. but with whom she
 maintained friendly relations, died two
 or three years ago.--Marquise de Fon- tenoy, In the New York Tribune.
