Star.
How vast scheme Vanderbilt con-
ceived for developing his North Caro-
lima estate, no one will ever know.
From 1892 until his death in 1914 he
made it his life's work to block to-
gether 10000 acres of mountain land,
grub out the forests, plant trees, pipe
water, build roads and level off
mountain peak for his palatial home,
Biltmore house. The project cost him
more than $10,0uOO,O00.
Two years after his death his widow
transferred to the government $4,000
acres of the estate for a national for
est reserve. Now the model town of
Biltmore is sold, and the millionaire's
plan of rural empire begins to dis
integrate. Did Vanderbilt dream
!. FOOLS paradise on those North Caro-
' lima hills. He is dead; the dream is
dust and ashes.
On rainy day 80 years ago, Van
derbilt's private car was on side
track at Asheville waiting tc' take the
young millionaire back to New York.
After a short stay he had become dis
gusted with the wet weather, the sky
line, the hotel, with everything. He
was to leave on the morrow. During
the night the skies cleared and the
next morning young Vanderbilt rising
early, watched North Carolina sun
rise.
Standing on the piazza of the Bat
terry Park hotel he looked away to the
north and saw the peak of the Roam
mountain in Tennessee, 60 miles away
Southward was the grim outline of
Caesars Head, a mountain in South
Carolina, so miles away. To the south
west, dim in that blue haze which
gives to this mountain range it's name,
was the Georgia line, 90 miles away

If the kidneys are not in a healthy

toms of kidney trouble.

Hon. Simon Napoleon Parent, for
mer premier of Quebec, who is report
ed on the road to recovery from a
very critical illness, reaches his sixty
fifth birthday Sunday, having been
born Sept. IL, 1856. Mr. Parent is a
distinguished lawyer, who by sheer
force OF talent and industry carved
out for himself noble career. He
earned with his own hands and brain
the money which paid for collegiate
and legal education, and after his ad-
mission to the bar in 1881 he applied
himself so closely TO his profession
that soon he had large practice. In
1894 he was elected to the mayoralty
Of Quebec. Later he entered the Que
bee cabinet as Minister OF Lands.
Mines, and Fisheries, and for five
years, from 1900 to 1905, he held the
Office Of prime minister.
