Holds to Ancestral Farm.

Although George w. Vanderbilt
owns what is probably the greatest es
tate in this country at Biltmore, N. c.,
he still holds the old ancestral farm on
Staten island against all attempts to
buy it. Mr.. Vanderbilt rarely goes
there, but it was the favorite summer
home of his mother, and it was the
first country home purchased by the
old commodore, grandfather of the
present owner. An offer has recently
been made for the farm by an amuse-
ment company, but Mr.. Vanderbilt
gave the answer that many other
would.be purchasers received: THE
farm is not for sale"

many books of travel. is grandson
of Walter Savage Lander, the English
man of letters. Lander was born at
Florence, and received his education

cover the putty with soft soap. This

To remove tar stains rub the marks

then remove the stain.
To clean mirror first sponge over
the glass with little spirit, then dust
it over with some powdered blue tied

As An Example Of Close Figuring This
Is Hard to Beat.
Senator Blackburn says that during
the last Congressional campaign in
Kentucky he had visited the closest OF
the districts for the purpose of look
ing over the ground in person.
While waiting for train the sena-
tor struck up conversation with a
bystander who, to Judge from his ap-
pearance, was farmer.
Finally Mr.. Blackburn, who was, of
course, quite unknown to the farmer,
asked the latter if there was any news
in the way of politics.
mot much" was the laconic answer.
81 thought that perhaps there was a
promise of little excitement during
the coming election" gently insinuated
the senator.
Whereupon the farmer began to
evince an interest. well, stranger,
said he, there may be excitement all
right, but we've got em beat this time.
They licked us by one vote last fall,
but this time we've got 'em skinned!'
'Do you mean by that to intimate
that some of the other fellows have
changed?"
Changed nothing!" exclaimed the
farmer with ineffable contempt; men
in this district don't change their poll
tics. Howsomever, three new famil'
lies have moved in and all of 'em are
Republicans. But nairy a one of our
fellows is sick this time!"
