CARRIES BIG LIFE POLICY
Prince Henry Of Prussia Said to Have
Insurance Amounting to $4,000
900 Against Assassination.

In appearance Prince Henry of Prus-
sia, who is one of the cleverest and
possibly one of the most distinguished
of Queen Victoria's grandsons, bears a
striking resemblance to King George
", and, like his majesty, is the sailor
Of the family. His first love of the sea
was acquired under somewhat curious
circumstances. In 1871 the Crown
Princess Frederick took her two elder
primitive little bathing place on the
Schleswig coast The interest Of the
young princes was aroused when one
day small yacht anchored off the vii
lige, and they appeared to have keen
desire for closer inspection Of the
vessel. The owner became aware Of
this and offered to conduct them over
sail. Their mother graciously gave
her consent, with the result that be-,
fore the trip was over the younger
had fully decided to become a sailor.
1t is said that Prince Henry holds
the unique distinction of being the
only man-royalist or commemorative
is insured against assassination. He
has an insurance of a sum approach
ing $10,000,000 against being killed by
the hand of an assassin. Some years
ago, when the prince took command Of
the German fleet in Chinese waters,
this policy was taken out. The risk is
believed to be held solely by German
companies. An ardent motorist, his
imperial highness' passion in this re-
spect is exemplifled by the following
story: While out driving with friend
one day they noticed ahead of them a
slow-moving goods van, the driver Of
which appeared absolutely regardless,
Of the approach of the motor car.
Presently the princes car sped past,
Yer fathead!" exclaimed the man,
you might as we'll ave asked me to-
make room for you" The prince i'm
mediately applied his brakes and the,
car came to a standstill. After a mo-,
ment's discussion his companion re-.
turned to the complacent van driver
and inquired, Did you mean his royal
highness to be a fathead?" But"
suffered the other, 'T-Ididnt know!"
His royal highness is sure of that"
said the princes companion. Take
this" he added, handing him a gold
coin, las a present from his royal
highness, because you are the first
man who has called him fathead!"

Climate Affected by Deforestation.


That the stripping of trees from a
country has bad effect on the climate
is indicated by the following account
by traveller in the interior of China:
"Kansu is the poorest of all the
provinces Of China and the most in
accessible by reason of it's defective
communications. Devastated by Mo-
hammedan instruction in the years
from 1861 to 1878, it has never re-
covered from the ravages to which 1t
was then subjected. The ruins every
where of what were once thriving
towns and villages impress the tTav-
eler with a sense of the horrors Of In
surrection in China. Instruction
means determination of the vanQuished

or woman. Loss of life during the
great insurTection amounted to mil

of communications the work Is diff

and poplars planted by Tso Tsung-
tang between the two capitals is fast

that it scars the face of the country,

1s Tar more interesting and of greater
import than any movement towards
land heretofore recorded In this coun-
try. The primal influence of this
great movement is Charles H. Sieg
and the organization which he has
promulgated.
This man Is the pioneer Of Florida
In the matter Of placing northern men
and women upon Florida farms. Less
than one year ago Charles H. Sieg or
ganized his first colony, which was To-
Gated In st. Johns Park, Florida.
Every acre OF the 10000 comprising
this colony was sold within 80 days.
The demand was so great that Mr.
Steg secured another tract of land,
amounting to some $4,000 acres, at
Jacksonville Heights, and this in turn
was sold out with the rapidly Of the
6rst colony.

Then Mr.. Sieg began his search for
his greatest and his best Florida farm
community. After careful scrutiny
Of all Florida lands, he decided that
Marion County, north Of the County
Seat. Ocala, held the greatest promise
for his ideals, and he purchased
large tract of land here.

H. Sieg, and prepared with most
comprehensive knowledge of all ques-
tons arising in the mind of a man
who contemplates making Florida his
home.
This great book is very expensive,
and it is filled with absolute proof that
tells story which no man can deny,
and 1t tells it In the language of COM
mon sense.
In an interview with Mr.. Sieg re-
Gently, he made the prediction that
every acre of Burbank Ocala Colony
would be sold before farmers In the
north were enabled to start blowing.
This means that many thousands of
acres must be sold each and every
week, and that hundreds of settlers
are buying this land every day.
The ONCE of the Burbank cala Col
ony is located at the city Of Ocala, in
Marion County, is filled with settlers
and prospective settlers to this col
ony, and the best part Of 1t all Is that
these settlers are satisfied. Many of
them are sent to Burbank-Ocala for
the purpose OF investigating and max
Ing sure, not only for themselves, but
for their friends, relatives and neigh
bors, and most of these men buy I'M

many people.
To give one some idea Of the value
OF this property. and how firmly con-
WINGED the Company is that 1t will
stand any investigation, the Board OF
Directors Of the New South Farm &
Home Company have authorized Chas.
H. Sieg to sell this colony land upon
the strict guarantee that II 1t Is not
satisfactory to the purchaser, he may
ask for and receive back every cent
he has paid, together with SO inter

cry of the deed.

$500 per acre, upon the terms OF
so cents per acre down, and SO cents

40 months after his application has
been received to complete his pay
ments, while he can move on and take
possession of his farm after single
payment Of only SO cents per acre.
