M'CREADY HOLDINGS
TEN QUARTER SECTIONS, NEAR
CITY, PURCHASED-CONSID-
ERATION Is 1888, 500.
is NEAR RECORD BREAKER
TRANSACTION ONE OF IMPOR-
LANCE TO CITY-PROPERTY
HELD THIRTY YEARS.

Perhaps the largest deal in Lake
county land. from a monetary stand
point, if not in actual acreage. that
ever took place between two individ-
uals in Madison was consummated
this morning, when J.. f. Rose, of
Rose & Son, stock buyers. purchased
the entire A. w. McCready holdings.
comprising ten quarter sections of
farm property. OF the 1900 acres,
two quarter sections are just north
of the city, and the eight quarter
section tract adjoins the city on the
south. The consideration was S153.-
500.
The land embodied in today's
transaction has been owned by Mr..
McCready for about thirty years.
Not only is it valuable because of its
close proximity to the city. but also
on account of its extreme productiv-
ity. Nearly all of the acreage is un-
der cultivation. The two quarter
sections north of the city are distinct
farms, and the land south of the city
Is divided into quarter sections. all
of which adjoin. There are six farm
homes and barns on the ten quarter
sections. Some of the property
touches the last shore of Lake Her
man. For some of the land Mr.. Nc
Cready paid $31 an acre. The re
mainder was purchased thirty years
ago for considerably less money.
Boon to City.
The purchase of the land by Mr..
Rose is not without direct signifi-
canoe to Madison. Although having
been willing for several years 10 sell
his property, Mr.. McCready stead
tasty refused to entertain offers for
parcels of il. The result was that il
has been farmed by renters. Mr..
Rose announced today that after he
had made some necessary improve
ments. he would be willing TO cut the
acreage into tracts for prospective
purchasers. The lands location
would be particularly advantageous
TO the man who farms on a small on
moderate scale. The sale Of the
land i'm tracts would. il is believed.
bring additional substantial families
to the community.
Incidentally the purchase makes OF
Mr.. Rose one of the largest holders
of farm property in this section. He
is now the possessor of 2,640 acres
Of Lake county acreage. He ha.
holdings in Concord, Wayne ane
Pennington townships. Mr.. Rose

more time to other interests, and be
cause the great distance which h.
lives from Madison made it extreme

Buildinu a Small House.

When the prospective owner of q small house determines :.t last to build the home to which he has been aspiring for, perhaps. many years. he frees the consideration with the realization of a complex Eroblem-thc ne essit.' of har nonizing the ideal that has formed in his years of anticipation with the stern realities of the actual building. Con- cisely stated, his problem is this: To combine the five desirables-space, charm, dist motion, utility and comfort with the sixth, economy, within the apparently limited allowance of the small house. Sometimes he succeeds in this. Generally he yields to the diff Gcuities prest nted and sacrifices one or more of the d sirab.e qualities. thankful to get finished house after all the dissensiOn cnsuaLt with build ing progress. When, however, a home builder succeeds i'll the combining of all these qualities ill the construction of his house the achievement is worthy of record. - Raymond Comstock ill Countryside Magazine.

OrjciY1 of the Gvpsjes.

When the gylls.es first appeared in England in the fifteenth century the name gypsy was given to them by the English people, who believed them to have come from Egypt. The French, by similar mistake, called them BO- hemians But careful study of this race, and especially of their language. shows that they came originally from India. The gypsy language is derived from the Sanskrit, as are the other Ar van languages of India. A similar error was made by the English when they called a distinctively American bird a turkey. under the impression that it was an importation from the Ottoman empire. and by the French when they called the same bird coq d'Inde. be lieving that it came from India.- Christian Herald.

Never Eat What You Dislike.

Most grown people have their likes aIlI disii..cS. and if it were pun iShment 10 them to eat d deSpised ar ticle how much more so it is to a child to whom small troubles loom as tragedies: The child's distaste should not be discussed. simply ignored until he has forgotten how much he hated a certain article.

GREATER THAN 4 KING.
The old Missiasippi River Pilot Wac
 Law Unto Himself.


 Law Unto Himself.
 In that early day to be plot was to be s.greater than king" The Missis- sippi river pilot was law unto him. self-tIere was none above him. His direction of the boat was absolute; he could start or lay up when he chose; he could pass a landing regardless of business there, consulting nobody, not even the captain; he could take the boat into what seemed certain -destruc- ton, if he had that mind, and the cap tain was obliged to stand by, helpless pilot in everything.
 Furthermore, the pilot was gentle man.. His work was clean and physic- ally light It ended the instant the boat was tied to the landing and did not begin again until it was ready to back into the stream; also for those days his salary was princely-the vice president of the United States did not receive more. As for prestige, the Mis- sissippi pilot perched high in his glass inclosule, fashionably dressed and com handing all below him, was the most conspicuous and shOwy, the most Ob- served and envied creature in the world.
 No wonder Sam Clemens, with his love of the river and his boyish fond ness for honors, should aspire to that stately rank. Even at twenty-one he was still just boy-as indeed he was till his death-and we may imagine how elated he was, starting up the great river as real apprentice pilot who in a year or two would stand at the wheel. :.s his chief was now stand ing, a monarch with a splendid income and all the great river packed away in his head-Albert Bigclow Paine in St. Nicholas.

Rin Guns Nof NAyu

Modern howitZers and siege guns are giants of destructiveness. yet, making allowance for time and experience, we must still admire the good old burghers of Ghent, who 500 years and more ago turned out an iron "bom- barde" that weighed thirteen tOns This prototype of the up to date siege gun had bore twenty-five inches in diameter. Out of it was projected a granite ball that weighed 700 pounds.
 Bronze guns as big were cast half a century later at Constantinople. And when only a little over 100 years since an earlier British fleet was fighting it's way into the Dardanelles these big guns crippled six of the Ensl fish men, of-war and killed or wounded 126 of those on board. One gun of this type weighed eighteen and three quarter tons. had q twenty-five inch bore and fired d G72 pound stone shot.-New York World.
