Had his Own Burial Place.

The family of a member of parlia- nent from Yorkshire has a private graveyard and has had 1t for several genera tions. The founder of It was a Quaker and the rector of the parish in which he lives said to him after dis pute on religious matters: Well, If you don't come to church when you are alive you will when you are dead" But the Quaker thought other wise and founded the burial place, which Is used to this day.

One of the most serious problems before Congress is the question what, If anything, can be done 10 regulate the operations of great corporations for the protection of the public with out interfering with the legitimate de yelopment of capital or coming Into collision with the reserved rights of the States under the constitution. Com missioner James R. Garfield of the Bn- reau of Corporations, in his first annu- al report, recommends the adoption of a system under which all corporations which do an interstate business should be required to have a national fran chlse or license He would make con formity with all necessary require ments regarding corporate organization and management a condition to the grant of such a license, and the rak- ing of all required reports and returns a condition to its retention, and would shut out from interstate and foreign commerce all corporations which did not hold such a license. He argues that some such system as this is need- cd to correct existing abuses arising from the practice of chartering cor poratlons In States whose laws are lax to carry on business in other States to the laws of which they cannot be held accountable because of their lncorpora. ton elsewhere.

MISSIONS OF CALIFORNIA.
Historic Piles Almost Our Young
 Country's Only Ruins.


 The century-old missions of Califor- mia. builded by Franciscan monk and Indian neophyte. might well be likened to the temples of silence" writes J. Torrey Connor in the Four-Track News. Upon the crumbllng adobe walls the wild mustard hoists It's yell low banners; In the roofess arcades, where tread of priestly feet Is heard no more. sunshine and rain have wrought their will lizards crawl over the black ened shrine, and bats cling to the raft CTS of the sanctuary, beating the air with noiseless wings at the approach of footstep.
 These historic piles almost the only ruins of which our young country can boast. are accounted one of the sights by all latter-day pilgrims to the Gold CD State: but, as a rule. only the more accessible of the missions are visited, the inconsequent tourist sandwiching them between flying trips to the ocean, the mountains. the giant trees. the gem-like lakes, the golden-frulted groves and the smiling valleys of the land where 1t Is always summer.
 The unkle of the vesper bell, echoing across wide stretches of pasture. Is mingled, now, with the harsh clang of the street car gong; and on the very thresholds of the missions may be found the paper lunch box and the empty sardine can of the globe-trotter.
 The religious processions, haitins before wayside shrines, and the sandal ed. brown-robed padres, Journeying from south to north. are gone from the highway. The alcalde. who ruled the pueblos with iron hand, the dark-yis- aged Indians. the stern-faced Spanish soldiers-where are they? Cone ani gone. too. the caballero, or Spanish gal. lant, with his tinklinz guitar and bis love songs. and. likewise. the soft-eyed senorita with her mantilla, telling her beads beside the quaint old confes-

I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linaEer.s and medicines which seemed to relieve ne from pain for awhile, but at the sane time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading paper I saw en advertisement of s. 5. s. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After had taken three bottles felt a great deal better, and I still continued to take it regularly until I was entirely cured. I now feel better than for years, and cheeriuliy recommend S. s. s. to any one suffering from Rheumatism.

 Niagara Falls was discovered by La Sale, who became aware of its pres ence while trying to paddle canoe up the Niagara river from Lake On tario Finding the current of the falls too swift to ascend, he gave up the attempt and constructed the first boat ever built in the United States "a little above the falls. He remained in the vicinity of Niagara several months and came away without having bought single souvenir postal card or hav- ing patronized a hackman, forming record that has never been equailed.
 At the time Niagara was discoVener it was in a wild uncivilized state Hotel accommodations were very poor and the man who tried to wade over 10 Goat island to admire the view was very likely to be fished out of the whirlpool rapids with @ broken leg. shortly after the revolutionary wat however, Niagara was captured by the hackmen and has remained in captiv- ity ever since It has been oridgeo tunnelled navigated, swan, tight-ropea and gone over in a barrel.

 The Advertiser has no pity. It can. not feel any sorrow for the great and good insurace officials who \were la boring for the benefit of the policyhoi- ders with an insignificant reward for their splendid services and who have been compelled for lack of popular appreciatio to sacrifice some of that The Advertiser is mean old thins and is cruel and wicked. It is as fearless as a billy goat and not nearly os humorous looking. ng.,,. of sa. nunciation might be expended on the Advertiser for the lachrymose poverty it professes and the lack of sympathy There are some persons who don't seem to comprehend what sacrifices Depew made in returning from Flu rope to assist Hyde; Alexander. Nc; the rambuncfious friend up the river in the explanation of spending money to defeat Judge Parker and for other patriotic purposes.
 Hyde has sold twenty -four earring es, one for every event in the day put half of his salary on the altar oi exposure and Judge Hamilton is com peiled to stay in Europe for while all on account of their. underpaid and eounqy spyts fop p fhe poics holders and others to die in.

A Change.

Cuf1nlan Democrat, -
 Twenty years ago Sand mountain was regarded as the poorest spot in
 the south. the charge was sustained then by the unproductiveness of the soil and the manner of living Of the
 people Men drove for many miles in
 the valley to buy corn. meat and other necessaries. The change has been
 gradual and we are unable to account for 1t on any theory except the people have learned to farm on poor lands. put today the lands on Sand mountain yield better than others the people are more prosperous, have more of the comforts of life and live. better than "the valley folks" .
 grants from the, rich valley country and the air Of prosperity and progressive ness has been reversed. This Is large Iy accounted for by the desire of every man to own his own home and to build uu and improve it after he has acquir- ed the land. but the farmer has learn ed to make the soil produce better than 1t did years ago and has learned. the lesson of living at home and making the farm support him.
