SECOND LARGEST LAND DEAL
One Million Acres of Good Land
in Exchange for Common
Variety of Hack.

One million acres of perfectly good
ground for a common old "sea-going"
hack beside which the most ordinary
automobile of today is like a palace
on wheels.
Can you imagine such transaction?
The land involved was that com
prising the old Sangre de Christie
grant.
The carriage was family vehicle
belonging to Charles Boubien, a
French Canadian.
The governor of Mexican province
bus. Boubien craved land. They got
together in the spring of 1916 and the
swap was effected.
That, Of course, was before that pOr-
ton of the United States comprising
the grant was ceded to the American
government.
Old Boubien, 1t would appear from
the history of the deal, was consider
able Of land baron. He already held
one grant, which prevented the ma
ing of the Sangre de Christie grant d.
rect to him, so he put forward two
Observation-Disclosures Boubien and Luis
Lee-as the ostensible beneticiarieS.
They were killed in the Mexican revo-
luton Of 1S47 and the elder Boubien
fell heir to the grant.
AS far as history records data with
respect to ancient land grants, the
Sangre de Christie was the second
largest ever made. 1t included all the
territory under the watershed of the
Rio Grande from source to mouth
Eventually, the grant was divided
into two parts. The upper part, lying
mostly in southern Colorado, is now
known as the Trinchera estates; the
lower as the Costilla estates.

SIGNIFIES TIME OF PEACE
Legend of Halcyon Days Connected
With Ancient Beliefs Concerning
the European kinefsher.

Many beautiful legends are con-
nected with the European kingfisher,
or halcyon, as the bird was anciently
called. An old belief was that
the seven days preceding the shortest
day of the year were used by the birds
to build their nests, which, it was
thought, floated off on the water, and
the seven days following were de-
voted to Matching the eggs. During
that period, "the halcyon days." the
ancients believed, the sea was always
calm. That is why the word hal
cyCn" is used to describe calm, peace
full days.
The power of quelling storms was
believed to have been conferred upon
the kingtisher by Aeolus, the wind
god, who made this dispensation when
his daughter, Alcyone, and her hus-
band, CyeX, were changed into king
fishers.
The kingfsher, from perch some
times as high as so feet above the
water, does sudden dive, seiZes q
luckless fish in his long beak, flies
back to his perch, losses the fish into
the air, catches it again coming down,
and swallows it head first.

Advice to Obese.

Your stomach long having been used
to caring for more food than your
system needed, is enlarged, and when
you eat moderately there are the wide
open spaces longing to be occupied
That is why you still feel hungry and
unSatiSfed.
Now If you will so on three-day
liquid or fruit diet, not totaling over
500 or 600 calorieS a day, this will re
duce it to its normal size and very
much less food than you have been
used to will satisfy you. Then you
can easily go on your reduction diet
as though 1t were feast.
For these shrinking days l advise
about 100 calories every two or three
hours during the day You will lose
from five to ten pounds during this
period and 1t gives you glorious start
After that it IS not wise to lose over
two pounds week.-Health Bulletin

NOTHING TO Be SORRY FOR
Even Be Advantages in Having
SWelIed Head.

We often hear so-called swelled
head mentioned as If it were thing
to be deplored Yet what could give
the proprietor more JOY than swelled
head? Imagine the satisfaction of
waking up in the morning and looking
at the sunshine with the thought ::
well, well, there's the old sun up
again to do me homage. Good old
sun to light up the world mostly on
my account What great fellow l
ami Well, I'll start out now and give
lot of folks treat by talking with
them. No use being great chap like
me and keeping myself all to myself.
I'll put on my new clothes and add all
the Joy l can. Everybody who comes
into contact with me Is bound to be
better for It,"
why feel sorry for fellow like
that?" asks writer in Golfers. Who
could possibly get more fun out of
life? True, he may be gaining his
satisfaction on a false premise. But
then how many of us can prove that
our scheme of life Is free from flaws?
The man with a swelled head is JOY
to himself and a constant source of
amusement to his neighbors. Perhaps
we should envy him instead of feeling
sorry for him.

Curious Feat of a SteepIe lack.

In telling a tall tree it is usual to
cut through the trunk at the base
and then to let the tree fall with a
crash, or by means IF ropes to ease
It's descent in given direction.
AT Rose Hill, California, tall euca-
lyptus tree, $50 feet high, has been cut
down from the top.
A steeplejack was engaged to do
the work, and he climbed almost to
the top, and began to cut off ten
foot length The section had a rope
fastened round it before it was cut
through, and when it was separated
the steeplejack lowered the section to
the ground.
Then he proceeded to cut another
ten-foot length in the same way, and
so on until the whole tree had been
felled. The work took nearly a week.
The tree was closely surrounded by
buildings. If it had been sawn
through below there was nowhere
for it to fall without doing damage
to surrounding property.

EXPLAINS LACK OF COURTESY
According to Writer, Various Forms
Of Fesr Are Responsible for
Its Absence.

The finest courtesy is that which
comes from the spontaneous manifes-
tation Of good will, says Il writer in
the Montreal Family Herald. Yet
often people who feel good will toward
others are not notable for courtesy.
When there is any failure in courtesy
1t can almost invariably be ascribed
to fear. Perhaps the person Is afraid
Of assuming too much Importance aud
Of appearing egotistical and therefore
turks In the background when he
should come forward. Perhaps he
fears that some one will think he is
trying to curry favor, and therefore
he is so distantly polite as almost to
be rude. Perhaps his good will is so
mingled with admiration as to make
fear of being regarded as commonplace
and unimportant as he cannot help
knowing himself to be prevents him
from showing proper courtesy. Or, on
the other hand, the fear that courtesy
will be assertive, Overbearing or true
ulent
Fear Is the great enemy to happi-
ness and accomplishment One of the
most effective ways in which fear
works Is through curbing or suppress
ing the courteous manners and actions
that II 1t were not established in d
position Of authority, would display
themselves as the natural expression
Of the heart.
