pavard,. Anxsous Moment.

King Edward once said that he spent the most exciting and nervous moment of his life on a prairie in Canada when he visited that country as yout- h He was in no danger of being scalped by a red Indian or eaten by wolves or gored by maddened bison. His anx- iety and nervousness were simply due to his efforts to light a match. The Prince and his party were miles away from human habitations, they wanted to smoke and had only one match be- tween them. Lots were cast as to who would strike 1t. The lot fell on the Prince. and with great difficulty he managed to get the light which was to supply them with fire till their re- turn to civilization.

Great Land Holdings of Mrs. Fl. M' King, of Texas. Owning ranch of l.eoo,ooe acres i twice as big as the State of Rhode Island. and as large as the entire State of Delaware--Mrs. H. M. King IS one of inc richest women in the world Rv the purchase of the Los Laureios Ranch. which is adjacent to her own ranch at Santa Gertrudes. Mrs. King becomes the largest ranch owner Tn the world, says an Austin dispatch to The Pittsbure Chronicle e-Telegraph. The Los Iaurelos consists of 170,000 acres. She has more than 100000 head of
 beef cattle and the St. Louis, Browns vile and Mexico Railroad runs through her property for more than 100 miles During the last year she has given away 65, 900 acres-35,o00 for the build ing of the railroad and 30,000 for the town of Kingsville, named after her husband. At one time it was estimated 1 that 1t was fifty odd miles from her doorway to her front gate
 Mrs Kings ranch. the Santa Ger trude is an enormous revenue pro- ducer. While the most of her land is used for stock raising, practically every acre is susceptible of the highest culti- yation. Tn the last twenty-five years the land has increased In value from 15+t 2G cents an acre to $l5 to $20- IL is al in the artesian water belt and can be Irrigated. Such land in cultivation is selling in Texas for s150 an acre. It is Mrs. Kings plan to reclaim all the grazing land she owns, and by boring artesian wells irrigate it and rent and lease 1t to progressive and practical | farmers.
 Mrs. King is a product of the South west and practically all of her life has been spent on the Texas frontier. In the early days. when she went there with her husband, Capt. Richard King, Indians roamed at will on the land which she now owns. but far worse than the Indians as neighbors were the
 border desperadoes. Mexican outlaws. smugglers. cattle rustlers and the rem | egades of society who sought an asy- | lum in the Southwest.
 Captain King end his wife lived in Brownsville, the very centre of the bor- | der ruf1anage. He soon established a I reputation for fearlessness and for his ability to take care of himself in a business transaction. Captain King fought his way through the period of l terrorism and stories of his conflicts | with the bands of desperate men who preyed on his roaming herds are now told about the campfires by the cow boys of lis widow. He added to his
 land section by section and tract by tract. until he had half a million acres and his herds had grown from a few hundreds to thousands of head
 Although 73 years of age. Mrs. King
 is as actively engaged in the manage
 ment of her vast property today as she
 was twenty years ago. The routine
 management is in the hands of her son-inl law. R. J. Kleberg, but he has no authority to close any important | business transaction without the ap- proval of Mrs. King.
 Mrs King employs more than 800
 persons on the ranch, a majority of whom are Mexicans.

The worst result of any form of slavery is to produce in the enslaved A. love of servitude and to create spirit of protest against release from this bondage. Hence the persistent repetition from century to century ln a grossly ignorant and auperstitious age that woman is a sex of superior wickedness and mental inferiority, re- sponsibIe not alone for her own sins but also for those of men, could have but one result. It created within wo- men themselves a passion for self-de- preciation, humility and self-hatred, and 1t also implanted in the minds Of men a superstitious horror of the nat ural powers of women, the effect of which is not yet wholly eradicated from the mind of either sex.
 Notwithstanding all that the forces of ignorance superstition and eclesias- tical selfishness have accomplished in opposing the development of women and in preventing their highest use fitness in the church, the pages of his tory. even though written by prejudic- ed men. are resplendent with their re- markable achievements In religious propaganda. The mother of Wesley, who was the real founder of the Meth odist faith, influenced her son to rec ognize lay preachers and thus laid the basis for the great spiritual success of methodism. The Countess of Hunting don was the founder of Calvinistic methodism. Mime. Guyon numbered among her converts Fenelon and sev- eral distinguished leaders of the court of Louise Barbara Heck, the heroic Irishwoman who was the founder or American methodism. Elizabeth Fry in the prison persuaded hundreds to turn from lives of crime to virtue and in dustry, Mrs. Bartlett in six years of her personal efforts added 600 mem bers to MT. Spurgeon's church. In later times the salvation army largely owes it's existence and marvellous pow CT to the energy, zeal and devotion of Mrs. Booth. In our own country scores of devout women. as ministers. evan gelists and missionaries. have rendered Invaluable service to the church and humanity.

officers are bound by primary obligation to use
the corporate powers, after the public duties have

And yet we have witnessed disposition on the part

any public officer betrayed the trust OF his
constituents. Recent Investigations have unfor-
tunately shown dspiriting inclination on the part
of the responsible officers of some great companies
to hold out their hands for anything from a coal
mine to mere tip, and to indulge in grating,
or less petty, for their own benefit dishonesty
as any commonplace and much abused alderman
accused of doing. Obviously such inclination
has been gratihed, not merely at the expense of
the public in the venal distribution of services
which all had equal right to buy at the posted
rate, but also at the expense of the real owners
of the property, who are the stockholders.

THE corporation has reached such stage
of development in this country that it
has become the instrument for carrying
l. by much the greater part of the
country's business. The so called pub
lie services such municipal lighting and the
transportation of freight and passengers for hire,
are with the slightest exceptions conducted by
corporations. The thing is true in effect of
manufacturing. The work of making iron and steel,
of cotton and wooden fabrics, of Transforming cattle
and hogs into what are called meat products, and
of mining is rarely done by the individual upon his
responsibility, but is performed by artificial
persons which the creatures of the law.
And within recent years there has been shown
strong tendency the part of this artificial per-
son to invade those lines of trade which even now
are conducted chiefly by individuals and the
and wholesale and retail dry goods dealer is now
often a corporation. Even industry which had

In this contest Mr. Untermyer finds
himself opposed to the Standard Oil in
terests, which, according to his own
statement, are seeking to retain a grip
upon the Mutual Life through it's pres
ent head, Charles A. Peabody, yet Mr..
Untermyer has acted as counsel for H.
H. Rogers, vice president of the Stand
ard Oil company. His knowledge Of
corporation law has often led to his
being retained in the defense Of corpo-
rations; but, on the other hand, he has
also been engaged by those who have
sought to prosecute corporations which
abused their privileges, and he believes
many of the evils existing today in
connection with trusts and similar
combinations can be cured only by
government and municipal ownership.
Mr. Untermyer is forty-eight years
OF age and is native Of Lynchburg,
Va. New York has been his home
from boyhood, and he was educated
in the public schools, the College of
the City of New York and the Column
bia Law school. He is married and
has two daughters and 4 son who is q

for his fathers profession. Mr. Inter

the country. Greystone was once the

Good Roads For Autos.

Robert ?. Hooper, the new chair
man of the good roads committee of
the American Automobile association,
recently went to Chicago from New
York for the purpose Of comforting with
President John Farson and several 9TH
err western advocates of the good roads
movement, says the New York Times.
Secretary Gorham said that Mr.. Hoop
er's committee intended to pursue q
more vigorous policy toward exerting
the automobile influence for better
highways than had been the case in
the past. Mr.. Hooper is a member of
the Germantown Automobile club, near
Philadelphia, and his pet project now
is the furtherance Of the plan to build
macadamiZed state highway from
Philadelphia to Pittsburg, distance
Of 24S miles. All Of the automobile
clubs of the state are working toward
that end. Not content with this Penn
sylvania road, Mr.. Hooper has also pre-
pared a rough plan for a continuance
of the highway from Pittsburg to Chi
cago. New York and New Jersey au-
tomobilists are still discussing plans
to improve the roads between New
York and Philadelphia.
