alone. although the beet sugar factory
here has been In operation only two
years, the value of farm property has
Increased $J,000,000 as result OF the
Introduction OF sugar beet culture. An
other result has been the investment OF
S5.000.000 or more In other beet sugar
factories In this section OF the state
within the past year, which In turn
will vastly increase the value Of the
farm land surrounding them, adding
$20,O0OOo0 or more TO the agricultural
wealth of this region.

"A DIla0ND STORY.
The Way Q Russian Princess Disposss
Of Her Ic..eis.

A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
. well known Wholesale dealer OF
the Maiden lane G.stri4t. vas In tfe
Office OF diamond merchant In
London when a stranger came in
and offered an ur uaIly beautiful
stone for sale. re Englishmns

was not villinl " until le
learned who ora q stone and
where it had cor l. The man
said lie represent, friend, a wo-
man, who did noi> care TO have her
name disclosed Tie American wea
firm. Ii he co9ld not learn The
owners name he would rot bsy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and tax the1matter over
With her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nisscn to the womans
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment IN one Of the most fash
ionable quarters OF the city,, 1t
turned out that she was Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
In q nihilist movement. OF all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections OF
diamonds he had ever seen. They
we're worth 100000 OF $500, 900.
1--WE sell them a few at time"
she explained, lust enough Of
them each year to give us q living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don't sell them all and live on the
interest of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last q year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
| estimate that there are enough Of
them to keep US twenty years, and
l don't expect to live longer than
that"
One OF those diamonds forms tho
centerpiece of one of the most val
liable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent t' this country
every year. In the diamond horse

night when there are not some Of
