The first thing that struck Colum-
bus when he landed in America was
the absence of real estate; neither
corner lots. country places nor factory
sites. Calling likely looking Indian
brave. he asked. Have you a deed for
this land?"
Indeed We have not" replied the
Indian.
Then how did you get it," contn-
ued Columbus, meanwhile counting up
on his fingers the vast fortune that
lay before him even at 800 per lot
without sewer. gas. water, paved
streets or even policemen.
Our ancestors discovered It," re-
spOnded the Indian, as well as the diff

THAT will never do" exclaimed Co
lumbus in disgust. I'VE have come to
discover it again and discover it right
This will be a discovery indeed as
well as In fact" Then, turning to one
Of his crew of the name of Astor. he
handed him a deed to Manhattan
island. Among the others of his crew
he sold. bargained, conveyed, trans
ferred. set over and otherwise distrib-
uted all the rest Of the land. except
that lying west of the Mississippi
river. This he divided into two por.
tons. One of these portions he gave
to the transc0ntinental railroads and
the other portion he set aside as a
basis for future land frauds.
Needless to say, real estate Offices
sprang up everywhere. prices immedi
ately advanced and all subsequent i'm.
migrants had to pay rent.
In the beginning the Lord made
heaven and earth and Adam took a
deed for the earth because it was
more accessible.-Life.

"W-what's the trouble, Ffed!" she
asked in alarm.
Why" he replied. nervously, those
boarders up in the beach hotel have
been training opera glasses on US fol

saying this is the funniest comic opera

The summer girl smiled. p.

they chose nuns as teachers. The as

how they were to take their railroad

some opening in the mountains that
might prove to be a natural one. AT
