present at the wedding and certify to
1t. That is, If it takes place in Italy /;
but if it takes place in America, the
presence and certification of an TIA
liam consul or ambassador is all that is
necessary.
The duke earnestly objected to any
talk about a dot. He is rich in his
own name; he declared that if Miss
Elkins was to have any money it was
none of his affair.
Duke Born in Madrid.
Luigi Amadeo, now duke of the Alb
ruzzi, was born in Madrid in 1873, just
Is days before his father abdicated.
He has two older brothers, the prince
of Aosta and the count of Turin. Be-
fore them, however, comes the king of
Ita!y's son, Crown Prince Umberto,
four years old. The prince of Aosta
has two sons, six and four years old,
all of whom, beside the count of Turin,
stand between the duke of the Abruzzi
and the throne.
Though he stands high in the TIA
liam navy, the duke of the Abruzzi gets
his chief claim to fame as an explorer
and mountain climber.
Nine years ago he assembled Mount
st. Elias, in Alaska, one of the tallest
American peaks. Two years later he
sought the north pole. One of his
party reached sc degrees 33 minutes
north, beating hansen and holding the
worlds record until Peary beat it.
His Name Free from Scandal.
Clean-lived and with his name un-
touched by any kind of scandal, he en-
tertains the most romantic affection
for his aunt, Queen Marguerite, who
played the part of a mother to him
after the death of Queen Victoria,
while he was yet in infancy. He has
shown his devotion in many touching
ways. When he scaled and explored
Ruwenzori, he gave her name to its
loftiest peak He is the third of three
brothers, the two elder being the duke
of Aosta and the count of Turin. He
has also half-brother Count Salemi,
the issue of his fathers marriage to
Princess Letitia Bonaparte.
The fortune of the duke of the
Abruzzi is estimated at 100000. He
has less than his brothers, owing to
the fact that he has met personally the
expenses of his various expeditions,
but there is still more property yet to
be divided among the brothers. He
has private income from his moth.

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff contributor of southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: ct is well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and it's institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man Of
affairs when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry Of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
It is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments in
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others 20 re-
sell to farmer friends. The agents of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 160 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &c.

CARRIES SEVERED LEG.
Logger Shows Great Grit in Going
Two Miles After Fatal Injury.

Tacoma, Wash.-Carrying his sew
cred right leg with him, Daniel Stet-
son, a logger, crawled through two
miles of brush to tidewater at Toby
Inlet, B. c., got into boat and rowed
another two miles down the coast to
logging camp before finally collaps-
ing. Stetson was hand logging alone.
While telling a tree, he was caught
as the tree fell. 1t crushed his right
leg into a shapeless mass, practically
tearing it off. Stetson completed the
work by cutting the shreds of skin
which remained.
Although bleeding to death, he re-
tanned consciousness and laboriously
made his way through the brush to the
coast. Foot by foot he crawled over
logs and through swamps until he
reached the waters edge. Suffering
untold agony, he got into boat and
managed to reach small camp two
miles away. Then he collapsed. The
men procured launch and took him
into Lund. From there he was con-
veyed to the Vananda hospital, where
every attempt was made to save his
life, but the shock and the loss of
blood had been too much and he died
the next day.

Nothing Truer Than That Revengeful,
Bitter Thoughts Will Inevitably

Harbor Them.

How little we realize when we
throw thunderbolts of hatred toward
another that these terrible thought
shafts always come back and wound

yengeful, bitter thoughts intended for
another are great javelins hurled at

How many people go through life

Think of what people who refuse to
speak to another, because of some
fancied grievance or wrong, are really
doing to themselves! How this venom
intended for another poisons their own
minds and cripples their efficiency!
A kindly feeling, feeling of good
will toward another, is our best pro-
lection against bitter hatred or in

the tombs. The local name for the
vault is "the place of the little angels"
and though many of the princes who
lie here were not at all angelic in
their lives the impression left by the
white marble wings of the statues is
one of spotless purity.
One unfortunate Spanish king, Don
Jaime II. of Aragon, is daily on view
In the cathedral of Palma, in Majorca.
The sacristan of the place takes you
to a yellow marble monument in the
choir, opens cupboard, and pulls out
very ordinary coffin with a glass lid.
AS poor Don Jaime died in the four
teenth century, he is not now at all
lively spectacle. His mummy is
made gay, however, with imitation
royal robes-cottony ermine, and so
forth.

Near Settat, in Morocco, during

Most Gorgeous Burial Vault in the
World Is That in Which Repose
the Bodies of Spain's
Former Rulers.

The escurial in which for nearly
three centuries the kings and queens
of Spain have been buried is said to be
the most gorgeous burial vault in the
world.
1t is an octagonal chamber, SO feet
across, with it's walls, save where the
collins stand, entirely overlaid with
precious marbles. The staircase which
leads to it is of marble with jasper
walls. The general effect is unspeak-
ably splendid. In the midst of this
magnificence are the massive black
marble caskets let into the walls, con
tanning the bodies themselves. They
are all exactly alike, inscribed simply
with the names of the different kings
and queens. There is room for Just
six more monarchs and their consorts.
OF another character altogether is
the vault devoted to SPANS royal
children princes and princesses.

How easily, beautifully and sweetly
some people go through life, with very
little to jar them or to disturb their
equanimity. They have no discord in
their lives because their natures are
harmonious. They seem to love every
body, and everybody loves them. They
have no enemies, hence little suffering
or trouble, says o. s. Marden, in Sue
cess Magazine.
Others, with ugly, grabbed, cross
grained dispositions, are always in hot
water. They are always misunder-
stood. People are constantly hurting
them. They generate discord because
they are discordant themselves.

THE COME and SEE SIGN

This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building OF
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine

What Does This Sign Mean
1t means that public inspection OF

It means that a permanent invita-
ton is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs - with
out drugs?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told !?
Come and See.
Was there ever such person as
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any

Washington.-If the king of Italy
should die, and his son, the prince of
Piedmont, and his cousins, the duke of
Aosta and the count of Turin, land the
dukes two sons, the Prince Amadeo
and the Prince Aimone, then the duke
of the Abruzzi would be king.
1t is remote possibility, of course,
but the chance has given great inter-
national significance to the impetuous
suit of the popular duke of the Abruzzi
for the hand of that athletic and
charming American beauty, Miss
Katherine Elkins, daughter of the SEN
ator from West Virginia.
But should it all go right; should
the king of Italy give his consent-to
say nothing of Mr.. Elkins-then the
senator's daughter will come nearer
being queen than any American girl
has ever been before.
There is nothing in the Italian law
to prevent it. If the marriage is legal
ly consented to by the king, the duch-
ess of the Abruzzi takes her place
among Italian royalty. And should
would be queen. Think OF it-an
American girl queen of Italy!
Everybody in Washington knows
Miss Katherine Elkins. She made her
debut in 1903-she is 25 years old
now. Her father is multi-millionaire,
owning railroads, mines and lumber
enterprises enough to capitalize the
Ii % I@o1 CO..
Henry Gassaway Davis, once a sena-
tor, too, is also vastly rich man-so
rich that he ran for vice-president
once. Much of this wealth will eventu-
ally go to Miss Elkins. Just now Miss
Elkins has 100000 which she can
call her own.
Insisted on Her Own Way.
When Miss Elkins was ready to
enter society she showed of what stuff
she was made. She ruled against any
thing that savored of just a debutante
tea.
If 1 can't come out without this
nonsense" she declared, Il won't come
out at ALL"
So it went on, season after season,
until the duke of the Abruzzi came
here. He had met American girls be-
fore, but here was a different kind
This particular pair met at the TIA
liam embassy. The duke had come to
America in command of the Italian
warships sent to take part in the festl-
vities at jamestown.
1t was very apparent that Miss FL
kins made deep impression upon the
duke. He not only lost no opportunity
to be near her, but he developed a
ready wit in making othsr opportuni-
ties.
The Italian warships sailed back to
sunny Italy. The duke was in COM
mand and perforce had to go along.
Washington forgot he had ever been
there.
But not the duke!
Nor Miss Elkins.
In the summer she went abroad with
her mother, as usual. 1t CHANGED that
the duke of the Abruzzi ran across the
Elkins party in Paris. They met again
in Vienna.
Drawn Back to America.
Though there was no Italian fleet to
come here in the autumn, the duke of

er's estate Of about $4,000 year. As
an admiral of the royal navy, he re.
ceives an annual salary of about
sc, 900 and from the royal treasury he
receives close to 100000 a year.
AS the duke spends nearly all his
time exploring the wilds and the most
dangerous corners of the world, it is
reasonable to suppose that his wife
will be his companion in his future
expeditions. AS Miss Elkins is a thor
ough sportswoman, she is doubtless
as capable as any man Of scaling
mountain peaks. She has even init
mated to some of her very intimate
girl friends that she and the duke will
spend their honeymoon in an expedi-
ton to some out of the way corner of
the globe.
Met at Washington Ball.
The duke met Miss Elkins at a ball
in Washington given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Aarz Anderson Col. Bromwell, aide
to President Roosevelt, introduced the
handsome young Italian prince to the
senator's daughter.
Everybody in Washington exerted
themselves to entertain the duke when
he was here officially, but it was left
to Miss Elkins to make the ten-strike.
Let me do something for YOU" she
said, chatting one day with the duke.
"Ill give you a dinner, dance or a
theater party"
"Tll take them ALL" answered the
duke promptly.
So, one day, many of the friends of
Miss Elkins received cards to dinner
in honor of the duke of the Abruzzi.
After the dinner Miss Elkins an
nounced that they would attend the
theater, and off they were whirled in
autos. After the theater the entire
party was whizzed up to Rauscher's,
the Sherry's of Washington, where
Miss Elkins had invited a party for
dancing.
To his amazement the duke had en-.
joyed a dinner, the theater and a
dance all in one evening.
But that is nothing new for Miss
Elkins. She has always had her own
way. She is the only daughter of the
senator by his second marriage. She
is girl of brilliant mind, much origin
atty and pronounced will power.
If, by rare chance, she should be
caIIed on to grace throne, Washing.

Mrs. Anna Ludden Sine, who
has been a resident of MiIbank
for the past year, died a, her
home this morning about five
o clock, of heart disease. Mrs.
Sine had been in her usual good
health until the evening before,
