An Honest Man From Maine.

There are many honest men from Maine

more honesty and square dealing to the

honest man to whom the public. prints are
calling attention just now is the late Col
Jacob L. Greene of Hartford. CT. who
was president for q years of the Connec-

the head Of one of the largest of tho
small life insurance companies, with as
sets of sos 900 900. and he left n name for

FASCINATION OF DESERT.
Rauless Lands in the Southwest Have Strange At
traction for People-.In Death Valley.

The desert has a peculiar fascination
for men. writes William E. Curtis from
Arizona. 1t is an old saying that any
one who drinks of the waters of the
Nile will always thirst for them, and
man who has once lived in desert
will never be contented anywhere else.
1t is the same in all countries. People
who live in deserts never emigrate.
You find very few natives of India,
Arabia, Egypt, northern Africa or other
desert lands in other countries. 1t is
difficult to drive them away from their
rainless homes. 1t Is the people that
live in fertile regions, among trees and
flowers and springs and rivers, WHO
become dissatisfied with their homes
and seek new ones, far away. An ARAB
is fastened to the sand by an affection
that is not found in any other people
EXCEPT the HiHduS, and they will
starve to death by millions rather than
move. IL is an axiom that the less
man has the more he loves il; and the
less there is in a country 10 attract the
inhabitants the stronger are the ties
that bind them to their homes.
a recently published novel called
THE Garden of Allah" by Robert
Kitchens describes the destinations
which the desert of Sahara had for an
English woman, and her emotions and
sentiments are not unusual among
those who dwell in the rainless regions
Of the Southwest, although few of the
latter stop to reflect or realize their
own feelings or the irresistible force
which holds them. Another book on

gers College. who has q brother down

for the miners. He is a man of rare
ability, culture and refinement. He has
tasted of the pleasures Of all countries,
yet he finds full satisfaction in the life
he is living here. 1t matters not to
him that water is two bits" n gallon,
