Haitians a Lazy Lot.

Sydney Brooks, writing to the Lon.
don Chronicle about Haiti, says the
Haitians were the first people in the
world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. c.
r. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly,
says of Haiti: I'm that little republic,
covering about 10000 square miles,
within five days sail of New York, one
may encounter more strange complica-
tons and a greater disregard for hui
man life than in the remote coun-
tries of the east. Situated in the
very heart of the West Indies, where
civilization exists in high degree
Haiti alone has kept her doors closed
to progress. She became an independ.
ent state more than 100 years ago.
Her rich lands were already und0r cul.
tivation, but the lazy natives allowed
the plantations to go to ruin, and for.
ests have grown up instead"

THE WEALTH OF FRANCE.
Better Distributed There Than In Any
Other Country.

1--WE never tire of telling the world
that we are a great financial democ-
racy, possessing immense wealth"
said Frederic r. Flahaut, banker OF
Paris, France, who is making pleas
ure tour of this country.
Frances wealth belongs to a ma
jority, and not to a minority of her
people. The rich and the excessively
opulent, possessing millions, are hard
ly to be counted by units; they may
be designated by name. The large for
tunes are limited to few people-pos-
sibly ten persons possess each some
thing like $20000,000 and over; 100
may have between 100000 and $780,
100000; 600 may have between $1,000
900 and 100000; 1000 have from
100000 to $1,O00,00O, and $4,000 have
from 100000 to 100000 each. Out of
100000 voters we have from 7000,-
900 to 100000 who are capitalists
landed properties, holders of Partisan
bonds, credit foncier bonds, railroad
bonds, national bonds; members of CO
operative bodies, people who put by
for the rainy day small sums in the
banks, that serve to assure life or in
sure against death. 1t is not the rich
who resort to the cooperative com.
panies or to the savings banks. The
manner of distribution of property.

tune of France"

and after running an hour or so We
came to a beautiful lake of blue wa

ready to throw off about 200 pounds
of dead weight. The cowboy said:
AYE, aye, SIR" and got his knife
ready. Pa let the airship down about
so feet above the water of the lake so
the fall would not kill the negro king,
and when we got nearly across
the lake, Pa said: "Cut the rope" and
the cowboy reached over with his

The most successful remedy in this
country for the cure Of all forms Of
female complaints is Lydia E: Pink

stood the test Of years and to-day is
more widely and successfully used than
any other female remedy. It has cured
thousands of women who have been
troubled with dis. 'acements, inflam-
nation, liberation, fibroid tumors, ir-
Irregularities, periodic pains, backache,
that bearing-down feeling, fatulency,
indigestion, and nervous prostration,
after all other means had failed.

youth to poetize and theorize. and then
in the years of manhood to rule from

ton of society which is capitalized
and occupies at least column in the
daily journals.
Mrs. Billy Heath was said to have
engineered the match, and the
colonel was believed to have been
merely silent partner in the transac-
ton. He was undoubtedly attracted
by tall, pale Alice Heath, and had
been quite devoted to her all winter,
but there were many, nevertheless,
who said maliciously that Marian
Heath, with all her shrewdness, would
never bring the colonel to the point
of proposing.
Even the practical Miss Grady, in
writing the paragraph had sighed
cheerfully:
This is what comes of having a
smooth sister-in-law! No girl should
be without one!"
However, Miss Grady was not in
clined, now, to admiration for the
perfidious Marian. Far from it!
Rumor might or might not be correct
Billy had led one victim into her trap.
And what willing victim! The gold
brick had been accepted without a
culver of a suspecting eyelash! Miss
Grady blushed to recall her eagerness,
and bit her lip in vexation.
In this instance Miss Grady, with

But the colonel had denied it! AT

man was reused to a pitch of unac
customed excitement. He had tele
phoned the managing editor of the

Miss Grady sat up very straight in
her revolving chair and stared at

page of her own paper, the Morning
Star, concerning the engagement of
Col. Dillingham; and Miss Alice Heath,

wind Played Havoc With the Fields
Near Pearl.

Pearl, April 24.-This section Of
county has had striking example Of
what a wind storm can do TO the
wheat fields. The wind Of the past
week has drifted soil from many ot
the finest fields of the uplands until
they are as bare as street except
for a patch Of green here and there.
In one place stack of straw ten
feet high is drifted until it is a
mound of earth. The hedges along
the road four feet high are complete
ly covered by the drifts in many
places. Old settlers say they never
saw such destruction as in this
spring. The damage covers only
about two townships. In other parts
of east Dickinson the wheat is little
affected. The general outlook for
the county's crop is good.
