AprOpOs of this election, the Chicago
Tribune on February 20 paid the fol-
lowing well-deserved tribute to Mr.. Ar :
mOur, his .'widenlng influence" and the
"almost fabulous value" Of his great
industry:
ut Is a recognition on the part Of
Mr.. Hartman of the widening influence
which Mr.. Armour has In the CONNER.
cial and Industrial life of the country.
1t will not be an entire departure for
Mr.. Armour to take nm active interest
in the management Of a great railroad
property, for he has long been finan-
clally interested In the st. Paul road.
The Armour packing interests have
been associated with railroad affairs.
"As president Of Armour & Co. he has
doubled the value of the property,
fact which may appear startling to
those knowing the great values repre-.
sented In 1t when his father, p. ID. Ar.
mour, was at Its head. At the present
time he controls not only this great In.

Good Luck in White Heather.

Only within the last few years has the
florist realized that the white heather of
the moors is plant worth cultivating,
hut the result of it today is that half
the people vino wear buttonholes at all
may be seen with a sprig of this flower,
which from time immemorial has been
associated with good luck.
1t is much more lucky, of course, to
find white heather than simply to wear
it, but the wearer is always supposed to
share the good fortune of the finder.
Whether it is equally lucky to wear
heather that has been grown artificially
for sale is OF course. quite another mat
ter. but the Londoner evidently finds
something especially attractive even in
the cultivated article or he would not
have made it the most fashionable flow
err of the moment. Certainly it makes a
most attractive buttonhole, but one
fancies that sentiment has Il good deal
to do with the white heather's universal
popularity.-Pall Mall Gazette.

To Tax Heiresses for Royal Mates.

Representative SABBATH of Chicago be-
lieves he set the wheels in motion to
prevent future marriages between Ameri-
can girls and foreign noblemen. He has
introduced a bill imposing a tax upon
all dowries, gifts, settlements, or adj
vances of property made in consideration
of or in contemplation of marriage by
citizens or subjects of the United States
of America to persons other than citi-
zens or subjects of the United States of
America"
The tax is fixed at % per cent. of the
dowry and the secretary of the treasury
is authorized to adopt and enforce the
rules and regulations for it's collection.
Mr.. SABBATH plumes himself upon having
done good thing.
In connection with Mr.. Sabath's bill
it is of interest to recall few of the
marriages of American girls to foreign
ers. Below is a list of twenty two wom-
en- whose alliances with citizens of other
countries cost the United States $780,
