truth of the words OF n
noted traveller, that "if
Niagara be the monarch

Dumas Wealth and Poverty.

Alexandra Dumas rise TO wealth
and luxury was almost as marvellous
as that of his most celebrated hero.
He built n magnificent chateau. which
he named Monte Christie. There he en-
tertained all corners, friend and stran-
ger alike, with more than oriental
magnificence and sometimes with orr
entail mystery. His purse was open To
all who sought it, and the day came
when he experienced Timon's fate
without acquiring Timon's disposition
He could not become misanthrope.
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as it came. and then he
learned the ingratitude of men. His
last days were passed not in poverty,
but in narrow circumstances. He left
Paris In the fall of 1870 just as the
German army was closing in 10 be
siege il and when France was feeling
its deepest woe. TO the last he pre-
served his gayety and youthful spirit.

RidicuIne His Sons Responsible For
High Prices, Says Manufactures.
The newspapers comic Sunday sup
plements that picture hayseeds and
birds nests i'm farmers boards and
make fun of the horny handed agricul-
turist are responsible for the high
prices of foodstuffs.
So John a. Stewart. New York
manufactures and founder Of the State
Agricultural school, Morrisville, n. j..
testified the other day before the legis-
latlve committee investigating food
prices at Columbus, o. Mr.. Stewart
said the comic supplements ridicule
the farmer and his work and so drive
the farmers sons TO the cities. So few
men are left to raise crops that many
farms are being abandoned. Only the
older people remain on tile farms, said
Mr.. Stewart, and little food In excess
of what is needed there is being pro-
duced. So it is now comparatively
easy TO corner the market OH many
food commodities. He declared the sit
uation is alarming and should be
changed by making farm life more at
