The Reiqn of Property.

Property, the sense Of property, the
love of property, the regard for the
rights Of individual property-all that
is undoubtedly the strongest element
in our Anglo-Saxon inheritance. The
rights of property are better safe
guarded by law in the United States
than in any other civilized community
on the earth. Human life is cheap
with us, but property can do almost
what it will, regardless Of the COM
mon good, of life itself. Next to US
among civilized nations in regard for
property come the English from
whom we inherit our reverence for
personal possessions. There is dis
tinction, however, between the Eng
lish and the American attitude toward
property. Here in America we wor-
ship money the raw medium Of tx
change itself that can be counted in
figures and put in the bank; we don't
say "a man Of property" when we re-
fer to rich man, but we call him a
millionaire or a Millionaire We don't
think of his houses, his land, his fur
niture or his pictures, but of his dol
lars. The English think of all these
possessions into which money trans
lates itself. That, says the Saturday
Evening Post, is sign of greater de-
velopment; we shall come to that
idea, are coming to it. Again, in Eng.
land there is one class that loves
property supremely and is identified
with 1.-THE upper middle class. In
America we all love money, irrespec-
tive OF class. and speak in terms of
money.

The CAPTIVATING Widow

The discrimination in favor of the
widow finds ample justification, al
though it is probably accounted for by
the difference between what is ex-
pected of her and of her unwedded sis
ter. No responsibility as to attractive
ness rests upon the shoulders of an
unalluring spinster, and sensitive to
this depressing fact, she soon ceases
to practice the arts of pleasing and
relies for attention upon cultivated
personal satire, which quickly pals
upon one seeking a more gracious
form OF amusement. The young
widow, on the other hand, realizing
that her shining qualities have been
duly heralded, is constantly alive to
the necessity Of justifying her reputa-
ton for vivacity, sweetness of disposi.
ton, charm of manner, or daring
speech. as the case may be, and is in.
duced by pride to exert her utmost
endeavors to make herself agreeable.
In this. says George Harvey, in Har.
per's Bazaar. she profits from the
American mans chivalry to women
and fidelity to men, and is aided ma
terially by the convention of polite so
ciety. which accords her a much
wider range Of topics than is permit
ted to her unfortunate rival, whose
coQuetry must be yelled by seeming
innocence and becoming modesty.

ONE WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY.
Match Twins with Twins, Was the
Fond Mothers Idea.

A Nttle woman entered drug store
and asked the proprietor If he had AN
other picture
What kind of a picture do You
mean?" the druggist asked.
"One like this" said the woman,
holding up an attractive advertising
print.
II may have one or two of them
left" the proprietor said, but I
haven't many of them"
The woman said she only wanted
one, and her tone indicated that she
was anxious for that one. She ex-
planned that the one she had with her
had been given to one of her children.
Another child, she stated, was sick,
and was crying for a picture such as
his brother had.
That's a bad way to bring up your
children" ventured woman customer
in the store. do you try to give .
child everything he cries for just be-
cause his brother is more fortunate p
But" said the mother of the chill
dren, you don't know. The children
are twins and what one has the other
wants"
Suppose" objected the moralist,
when your children get older they
fall in love with the same girl, what
will they do?"
But the mother was ready. She
promptly replied:
Find twins and fall in love with
them"

Langdon's agents with almost unlimit-

the figures of enormous increase of

denials were honest. If the public
had not been burned so many times

none of the leaders of finance and in

What's the Use?

Mark Twain, after lifetime
through which he has cheered and
amused his countrymen, seems grow
ing pessimistic in his age. Or is this
wall, from the North American Re-
view, merely the record of one of
those moments of reaction to which
all humorists are subject: "a myriad
of men are born; they labor and sweat
and struggle for bread; they squabble
and scold and fight; they scramble
for little mean advantages over each
other; age creeps upon them; infirmi-
ties follow; shames and humiliations
bring down their prides and their
vanities; those they love are taken
from them and the Joy of life is
turned to aching grief. The burden
of pain. care, misery, grows heavier
year by year; at length. ambition is
dead, pride is defied; vanity is dead;
longing for release is in their place.
1t comes at last-the only imprisoned
gift earth ever had for them-and
they vanish from a world where they
were of no consequence; where they
achieved nothing; where they were
a mistake and a failure and fool
ishness; where they have left no sign
that they have existed-a world
which will lament them a day and
forget them forever. Then another
myriad takes their place, and copies
all they did, and goes along the same
profitless road, and vanishes as they
vanish-to make room for another,
and another, and million other my
riads to follow the same arid path
through the same desert, and accom-
plish what the first myriad, and all
the myriads that came after it, &C.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread 10 eat their
meals, although actually hungry near

Nature never intended this should
be so, for We are given thing called
appetite that should guide us as to

But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into

becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind OF food

WHAT THE COM
 PANY WILL DO.

The Leffier Electric System (inc. is organized for the purpose of man. ufacturing these cars, magnets and all other appliances of every kind and nature connected with running the Leffier electromagnetic rail- roads. The profit in building these things will be very great in them selves. because every road in the country, both electric and steam, would have to adopt the Leffier sys- tem, because it is SO much better, cheaper and more money making than any other. There is no stop ping progress. The spirit os the age demands the best there is in every thing. The public will demand the Leffier system just as soon as they become familiar with 1t. In fact, we are in receipt almost every day of letters and calls from people anxious to install the Lefier Electric System on new roads about to be construct ed.
 The purpose of the company is not to take franchises and operate roads. That part will be left for others. and there are any number of opportuni- ties which will spring up the minute the people learn the great advan- tages of this system. But all the supplies for equipping the roads will have to be bought of the Lefier EIec- tric System OneD. This alone would make one of the greatest businesses in this country. The supplies all being under patents no other com pany can make them, unless licensed 10 do 50 by the Lefaer company.
