mediately take steps to develop the
land which they have acquired.

greet very much to learn that his
daughter, Miss Cristina Mora, has
been in exceedingly bad health
for some time. Miss Mora is said
to be suffering from nervous
prostratfon, having been at a hos
pital in Monterey for some weeks.
Lately it was decided that it would
be better for her to go to a santa
rum at San Antonio, and, through
the assistance of former friends
here, this has been done. Quite a
number of our people of various
denominations have done what they
could to assist this most deserving
young lady, and all hope sincere
1y that she may be restored to
health by the treatment which she
will receive at San Antonio.

Cost of Discovering America.

Philadelphia Public Ledger.
A Chicago antiquary has dis
covered that Columbus received a
salary of $500. He estimates that
the whole cost of the expedition
that found America was about ST.
900. John Knox received a
salary of S22O, and a lead
ing lawyer in the time of
Edwar " was content with
a fee which amounted to 81 in our
money. A sumptuous Christmas
dinner could be bought then for
II cents. A dollar went a long
way in those days, but the salaries
of professional men and the wages
of laborers seem ab5urdly meager
when compared with the best-paid
ability and skill in these modern
days. The good old times would
present no attractions to those who
imagine there was a time when
labor was much better rewarded
than it is to-day. Despite the
monopolies and the trusts, a mod
crate fortune can be acquired now
more readily than it could in form
er times. In 1920 man who had
$4,000 was accounted rich, and
such men were Verv scarce.

WORLDS GREATEST WEDDING.
Over Twenty Thousand Persons Mar
ried by One Ceremony.

The biggest wedding ever known
to history was when Alexander the
Great and over 10000 Of his soldiers
took part in wedding in the court
Of Darius, king Of Persia, after the
latter's conquest by Alexander.
Twenty thousand, two hundred and
two persons were made husbands and
wives in one ceremony,
The facts are these, says The Chi
ca"o Tribune. After co1qucring
King Darius, Alexander determined
to we'd Statiro, daughter of the con-
quercd king, and issued a decree
that on that occasion 100 Of his
chief officers should marry 100 women
from the ndblest Persian and Med
can Families. He further stipulated
That 10000 Of his Greek soldiers
should take TO wife 10000 Asiatic
women.
Fot tins purpose vast pavilion
was erected, the pillars being sixty
foct high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adjoincd this for the 100
noble bridcgroomS, while for the 10.-
600 soldiers an outer court was in
closed. Outside Of this tables were
spread for thc multitude.
Each pair had seats and ranged
tlc,n srlvrS in Srm-cirrlr round the
royal throne. As il would have TAX
rn %cvcrals weeks for the few priests
to lave married this vast number Of
couples had th: ceremony been per-
formed in t'c ordinary way, Alcxan-

OLD MEN IN THE SENATE.

William Boyd Allison of Iowa, has
!been in congress forty-two years, ev-
cr since the second inauguration Of
Abraham Lincoln, says the Boston
Glohp. For thirty-four years he has
been Il senator and now he announces
himself as ready to receive seventh
term. Already his record of sena-
torial service is unequaled, and if he
shall serve out another term he will
have held his seat for forty-two
years and been in congress a full half
century.
'rhe increasing tendency to con-
tinuc old men in the senate is re-
markable development of our politics.
1t is surely not due to the softness
Of the berth. The senate is the most
influential and the hardest working
legislative body in the country; in
either respect it has few equals in
the world. Yet the men in it who
have passed middle age must consti-
tutc nearly half Of its membership.
There are fourteen who are more
than three-score and ten and half a
dozen of these are faIbout rs. Five
of the twlvc senator's from New Eng
land are septuagenarihns. At least
twenty members have served more
than two terms. Half Of the New
England senators are in that favored
class.
Long terms in the senate of the
United States are a comparatively
new fashion. They are rare in the
first half of the 10Th century. The
name of Thomas II. Benton suggests
a striking exception to the rule in
those earlier days, for he sat in the
senate thirty years.
The truth is that seat there was
not so much coveted then as now.
Men resigned it lightly. With three
exceptions-'Strong, Pickering and
Varnum--no Massachusetts senator
until Webster served the length Of
one term.
George Cabot and Samuel Dexter
| resigned from the senate to accept
cabinet places, and Harrison Gray
Otis threw up his place even to be
mayor of Boston. John Quincy
Adams was so insulted when the Leg
islature indicated its preference for
another as his successor that he re-
fused to serve out his term. Benja-
min Goodhue, Dwight Foster and El
Porter Ashmun resigned for no pub
lie reason whatever. James Llyod,
who was twice elected, resigned eacl,
time before completing his six years.
When Webster had served four
teen years he retired to enter FIarri-
sons cabinet. Being reelected, he
again retired after five years to ac-
cept place in Fillmore's cabinet.
Hoar's twcnty-seven years and
Summers twcmy-three in the senate
gave them the record from Massa-
chusctts, and each served until death
| Wilson had served eighteen years
| when he left to be vice president
Dawes, at the end of eighteen years
was forced out and his seat was tax
en- by Mr.. Lodge, who has now been
in fourteen years.

THE ISLE OF PALMS.
Interesting Sketch of South Caro-
ina's Most Famous Re-
sort.

Rising from the waters of the blue
Atlantic along the low and sandy
shore Of South Carolina not far from
Charleston, and forming one Of the
chain Of sea islands for which that
region is peculiar. there has remain
cd mnoticed, until within the last
few years, Il certain island whose
beach is unrivalcd on the South Al
lantir coast. and whose history may
be of interest to the many people who
visit it during the summer season.
It's formation is similar to that Of the
rest of these islands that abound
along this coast; that is, they consist
Of sand and other materials washed
up by the sea, and may be regarded
as encrOachments Of the land upon
the water. Ii has luxuriant growth
Of pines, palms and oaks, but Of no
great altitude on account of the ocean
breezes to which they are constantly
subjected. 1t differs from Sullivan'S 5
Island in not being mere sand
bank, east up by the waves at The
mouth Of the barber, it's undulations
being of more fixed and pcrman-
cnt nature, and not succession Of
sand drifts and dunes at the mercy
of winds and waves, much more re-
Sembling the aeighboring main, from
which it is separated by a stretch of
curving creeks and marshes. The
beach, coextcnsive with the island,
is 'ully twelve miles long, affording
a driveway uncquallcd by the best
roadway in the world. This island.
formerly known as Long Island, first
comes into notice as having been the
scene Of the landing Of the British
troops during the American Rcvolu-
ton, at the time Of the expedition
against Charleston. in l776, by Sir
Peter Parker. The deep inlet at the
! southern end separating it from Sui
livan's Island is the especial poin;
of interest, rs it was impossible to
