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

One million acres Of perfectly good
hack, beside which the most ordinary
automobile of today Is like 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 Boublen, 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
nephews-Narcissus Boubien and Luis
Lee-as the ostensible beneiciaries.
They were killed in the Mexican revo-
luton of 1847 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 Trlnchera estates; the
lower as the Costilla estates.

PLANTS WITH ODD POWERS
tied to Particular Species of
Growing Things.

Some plants and flowers are sup
posed to possess strange powers.
One of these is the mandragora,
species of the nightshade tribe, which
Is said to utter shrieks on being torn
from the ground, and to revenge itself
by killing the person who picked it.
The Romans. who attached great value
to the plant, never gathered 1t without
performing weird ceremony.
Our ancestors considered all plants
growing on wild heaths and in lonely
churchyards and old ruins to possess
evil powers. The moonwort was sup
posed to be able to open locks and
unshoe horses, while vervain, which
was under the protection Of the god
dess Venus, was sure protection
against witchcraft and the bites of
snakes. This plant was used to dec
crate the affairs of the ancient Persians
and the druids.
st. Johns wort was able, it was said,
to put to flight ghosts, demons, and
even Satan himself. Mistletoe was
called the "all-heal" plant and was
used by doctors to cure any disease.
Other charms against evil spirits were

John Harvard and EIihu Yale Con-
ferred Benefits on Early Little
American Colony.

John Harvard shares with Elihu
Yale, in the opinion of the Christian
Science Monitor, the honor of being
the connecting link between England
and the young men of America who
are graduated each year from the two
colleges that bear the names of the
two Englishmen who founded them.
The founder of Harvard college was
born in Southwark. Nov. 49, 1907. His
father, Robert Harvard, was butcher
by trade and highly prosperous. In
formation regarding John Harvard's
parents and family Is meager and
vague. There Is every reason to sup
pose, but no authentic record of the
fact, that William Shakespeare had
a hand in introducing or bringing to-
gether the mother and father of this
great benefactor. The devotion of
John Harvard and his mother was
very beautiful, and through the fortune
bequeathed him by his mother he was
enabled to make his gift to the little
colony across the sen.

EXPLAINS LACK OF COURTESY
According to Writer Various Forms
OF Fear Are Responsible for
Its Absence.

The finest courtesy Is that which
comes from the spontaneous manifes-
lation Of good will. says 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
be is so distantly polite as almost to
be rude. Perhaps his good will is so
mingled with admiration as to make
him awkward and embarrassed; the
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, If it were not established in a
position of authority, would display
themselves as the natural expression
of the heart.

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why 1t is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgot ten' The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more par ticularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system, the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says, "Taks for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp. Root, preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to re. commend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kid dey remedy has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, tho. suc- cess of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that 1t fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and biad. der ailments, corrects urinary trou- bles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Ad. dress Dr. Kiimer & Co.,, Binghsmton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents: also mention this paper. Large and me dium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.

 Possession Not Intent to Sell.
 Justice P. F. McDonough discharged John Boyda upon motion of Lawyer s. J. Traceski who claimed that the state had failed to bring in evidence to support charges of reputation or keeping liquor with intent to sell. Eight quarts of liquor, two quarts of gin and S5 empty bottles were found. There were no witnesses as to reputa- tion, excepting one woman who denied any knowledge of law violation on the premises. Likewise, there were no witnesses to any sales, nor anyone who claimed to have purchased liquor.
 Prosecutor Greenstein claimed the presence of liquor and so many bot ties was evidence of intent to sell, but the court declined to accept this view.
 Boyda's tenement at 252 Farming ton avenue, was raided by squad of police January II.

The stuff was scooped up and sent to the state chemist for an analysis, which showed it to be seven per cent alco- hol. Julin told the police that he was selling to make up enough money to pay his last fine.
 Business Not Profitable.
 Lawyer F. F. McDonough asked that q light penalty be imposed since he had Juliifs assurance that he was going out of business. He told the court that the cafe had not been profitable and all Julin's capital had been lost in the venture. Julin, he said, went into the business with the idea that there were enormous profits in the illicit handling of liquors, but has been convinced that it is more costly business than in the days of licensed saloons.
