SAN BERNARDINO, March 10
The arrest in Los Angeles of c. c.

prosecution with satisfaction, as the

Foolish Remark Cost Him a
Fortune.

In his highly diverting article on
"The Light Side of Finance" Mr..
Harry Furniss relates In the Strand
Magazine the following story which
Is better than any sermon on the
foolishness Of being impollte.
A very rich member OF the sristo-
cracy without heirs or relatives oil
any kind had taken a fancy TO an se'
qusintance and in time accepted him
as a guide, philosopher and friend.
he eventually made a will leaving
his acquaintance his entire property.
The knowledge OF this bred familiar
ity and the lucky one unwisely took
advantage OF ia fact possibly I'M
noticed by his decrepit, old, would.be
beneiactor. However, one day while
driving over his estates, the old
noblemsn turned to his adopted heir
and pointing to some sheep asked to
whom they belonged.
"Well, you must be an old fool not
TO know your own sheep" was the
reply.
That one remark lost the speaker
million and a hall OF money. The
"old TOOL" brooded over the remark,
called in his lawyer, left half OF his
fortune TO charity and divided the
rest between the servants, leaving
the man who had called him an "old
fool' the exact sum he had In his
previous will left his man servant.

A Proper Tribute.
Philadelphia North American.

Philadelphia North American.
Already the story OF the American
Indian IL las a tale that Is told" Ii
Is a history THAT does little honor TO
this nation. The passing OF the alb
original race, perhaps, was newt
able. The march OF civilization ls
merciless, and whether by means OF
massacres, like those of the Aztecs
by the Spaniards, or by the intro
duction OF diseases and vices, which
to she civilized races have become
comparatively innocuous, but which
are deadly to men OF the woods, the
worlds progress seems often to com
pei the obliteration OF primitive races
incapable OF adaptation to modern
civilization.
Therefore we think that the sug-
gestion that there should be erected
on Governors Island, at the gate
way of New York harbor, q heroic
statue by some great sculptor will
meet with widespread approval. We
should think that certain, II Tor no
other reason than the hearty ap-
prevail Of the Idea by distinguished
group OF army officers, including
General Horace Porter, General Mel
son Miles, who was rivaled only by
Crook as our greatest Indian fighter,
and General Leonard Wood, who fol
lowed Lawton In the famous chase
OF Geronimo.
There would be fine symbolism In
the placing OF that tribute OF honor
and farewell to the past where 1t will
be seen by every conner to America
before he passes on to the vision Of
Americas future embodied In the
Statue Of Liberty.

Value Of Missouri Corn Lands.

The value Of farm land is fixed
largely by its productiveness, and
upon this basis Missouri ranks near
she top OF all the great central states.
The yield OF corn per acre In the
whole United States for ten years
1S99-190S, inclusive-was 25S BUSH
els. Missouri produced, during the
same ten years, 2S5.s bushels, or
27,S bushels more than the average.
As 40 cents per bushel, the rental Tor
Missouri corn land $11-12 more per
acre In ten years than the average
for the United States; or, a yearly
return OF 81 II higher than the aver
age. Figuring the Investment on q
6 per cent basis, Missouri corn lands
are worth $1S more per acre than
the average for the United States.
When we think OF the great state
OF Kansas, We imagine great corn
fields and long rows OF corn.bins
bursting with corn, and yet, accord
Ing to the United States Department
Of Agriculture, Missouri produced In
the last ten years $40 bushels more
corn per acre than Kansas; In other
words, figuring the price OF land on
6 per cent investment, Missouri corn
land will bring an annual rental Of
$2.19 more per acre than Kansas;
or, as a business proposition, one
acre OF Missouri corn land is worth,
upon a 6 per cent basis, $34 more
than one acre OF Kansas corn land.
Figures don't leland Missouri is
a great corn state.
