was a graduate of Yale College. He
was one of the '49ers. following the
trail with the argonauts to California,
where with pick and shovel he dug his
fortune from the golden sands. Having
achieved this. he studied law and was
admitted to the bar. Then he moved
to Nevada, and there he became one
of the big mining men, helping to open
and develop the Comstock lode, the
richest mine in the world at that time
He finally came to the United States
Senate as a Republican in 1863, being

is. He went to the baseball game the
other day to see the Nationals and
Beaneaters. The Vice President was
there. too Both are fond of the game.
The President sat with his derby on

amateur actor and diamond expert,
against whom, smart although OIL

told:
When the late Cecil Rhodes was at
the head of the De Beers company, at
a time when they had for sale 220 O00
carats of diamonds, he was approached
by Barney Barnato with an offer for
the lot in one parcel. To this propo-
sition Mr.. Rhodes replied, Eyes. you

DEvA A CASTE DESTROYER.
Brahman of High Birth Taught Equal
ity in India.


Word comes from over seas of a
memorial service in honor of the late
Paramahamsa Deva, who died not
very long ago, leaving record that is
Almost sublime.
This most remarkable man was a
Brahman of the highest caste, en-
titled to a "forerunner," of the type
still frequently seen in southern India
where bearers run in advance OF high
caste Brahmans, clearing the way of
all inferior beings, whose mere breath
lis considered contamination, writes
a contributor to Youths Companion
The deva was trained for the priest
hood from his earliest boyhood and
was never permitted while young to
have the remotest association with In
feriors Even princes give him the
fright of way. His so-called spiritual
eminence can hardly be appreciated
by western races.
1t appears that the deva did not ap-
Ipreciate it, either, for after he had
graduated from his temple school ana
become guru, or Brahmanical teach
er he began to reason with his young
disciples about the bitter injustice OF
| the caste system. He said openly that
he did not believe it was of God, but
that it was the work of human lawgiv-
ers.
| The devas heretical opinions caused
widespread and violent dissent among
| the Brahmans but as his caste put
him beyond the reach of the law he
could not be punisbed-only reasoned
with by his elders.
After some years, when great hon
ors had been conferred upon Parama-
hamsa Deva, he called his disciples
together and led them to mean little
village where the plague had wrought
its fearful devastation and addressed
them as follows: my brothers, God
has put it into my heart to break the
chains that have bound our race for
centuries. l am a Brahman of Brah-
mans, yet, by the grace of God, the
lowest Of all midas low castles are as
dear to my Master as I am. I have a
solemn task to perform. Follow me or
desert me- as you will. God has
spoken and must obey
| When it became known that he lay
dying in poor mud hut in Oudh hun
dreds of Brahmans gathered round it.

At last he arose from his pallet of
grass and staggered to the door,
where he died in the arms of faith

quent of his lifelong heroism. "Let
there be no weeping for me, broth
ers." he implored, "for my soul is at

WHY NOT OWN LANDp
One of the Best Ways to Make
Money Is to Invest I'm Western

One of the Best Ways to Make
Money Is to Invest I'm Western
Canada.
deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man Is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a well-known truth. The ques-
ton is, Where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices? and this the
same writer points out in the same
article. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has a personal interest In
the statement of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting greater
possibilities than any other part OF the
American Continent to the man VINO
is inclined to till the soil for livel1-
hood and possible competence. What
interests one are the arguments adj
vanced by this writer, and when fair
that no matter what personal interest
the writer may have had his reasons
appear to have the quality of great
eoundness The climatic conditions or
Western Canada are fully as good as
those of Minnesota, the Dakotas or
Iowa, the productiveness of the soil is
rs great, the social conditions are on
a parity, the laws are as well estab-
ished and as carefully observed. In
addition to these the price of land is
nrch less. easier to secure. SO, with
shese advantages, why shouldn't this
lie offer of Western Canada-be en-
araced? The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied Once in
while complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado, no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a
few letters, written by former residents
of the United States, from which one
or two extracts are submitted. These
