about salt bags. Mrs. Brown said that
once they had a servant who used to
take the salt bags when they were
emptied and open them out and wash

CHAPTER XVI.

Mary Dynevor lay awake the whole
night, thinking over what she ought to do.
To her father she could not speak; his
temper was too fiery, his authority abso-
lutte, she was utterly in awe of him. She
could only see one way out of the diem
ma-to throw herself on the generosity
of Sir Everard; but she shrank from the
prospect of doing this, and when she rose
In the morning she was as much perplexed
as when she had gone to rest.
The subdean was engaged that evening
to a clerical dinner, and Miss Dynevor
departed with her nieces. They had
scarcely gone when Sir Everard Wilmot
entered. And now came Marys task.
She did not know how to begin it. She
was absent and agitated. Sir Everard
could not fail to observe her strangeness
of manner. What is the matter?" he
inquired.

LAND FOR THE PEOPLE,
France Beginning to Understand Ba-
sis of Nations ProSperity

| France beginning to Understand Ba-
sis of n Nations Prosperity.
No other nation has gone to work So
Systematically as has New Zealand to
get the people upon the land and help
them to give it a high degree of pro-
ductiyeness. OF old-world countries
France has done most to help her peo-
pie to strike root in the soil, and has
reaped the benefit in her thrifty peas
ant population. But even in France
three-fourths Of the land is owned by
considerably less than one-fifth of the
landowners.
The French people are beginning to
understand that widely distributed
ownership and q thorough cultivation
of the soil must be at the basis of a
nations prosperity and the movement
to buy up a great number of small
farms and distribute them among IN
digent families Is a step In that d.
rection, says the Craftsman. But Il Is
something that is to be given by the
state, while in New Zealand the state
does not give. Its assistance is tenn
porary, so that the man who is down
may get on his feet, and then with self
independence, pay back the
help he has had. The land policy OF
the United States comes near to that of
New Zealand in its final aim-of MAX
Ing prosperous agricultural popula-
tion-although differing widely In
method. But we have tossed our public
domain to any who wanted it with a
whose cost we have yet
to pay.

Albert Biddison, of GAINESVILLE, came
up Tuesday evening for short visit
with his daughter, Mrs. II. A. Wright.
In conversation with him regarding the
striking of oil at GAINESVILLE he says
they know absolutely nothing, except
that the drillers or capitalists back of
the project have spent thousands of
their own money, and all the money
spent by the people of GAINESVILLE has
been about 5000 to assist in building
the derrick. AS soon as the drillers re-
ported striking oil they shut down and
sealed the hole up and since then the
capitalists have been busy securing
more leases of ground and now have
nearly everything around GAINESVILLE.
They have also contracted with parties
at Mt. Moriah to drill in that neighbor-
hood, the consideration being that they
be given leases covering 10000 acres of
land and these have been secured and
signed up. Everybody at GAINESVILLE is
simply waiting for Developments.

Judge II. M. Towner occasionally
lectures before the law department at
the state university at Iowa City. In
his late visit to the state institution,
the Iowa City Republican speaks of him
as follows: Judge Towner spoke last
evening at a gathering Of the active
members, alumni and few invited
guests of Phi Delta Phi, the honorary
legal fraternity of Iowa university.
He referred to the statements of the
President and his cabinet officers that
"too many lawyers spend their time
figuring out schemes to evade the law"
Judge Towner agreed with this senti-
ment, but he expressed the belief that
the shyster was All exception, and not
so much the rule as the president
would make out. He said that the at
torneys of the country are in no wise
morally inferior to those of any other
period of our history, and that ii any
thing, ethical standards are being
raised
