A Gentleman.
"On the whole, the finest gentleman
I have ever met," says a writer in the
Unpopular Ueview, "was the Japanese
Samurai and art critic, the late Oka
fcura Kakuzo. 1 recall as vividly his
courteous and expectant silences as 1
do his always eloquent and brilliant
discourse. Indulgent to the small talk
of others, he declined to share it. If
he ever gave utterance to a mere
prejudice or to any petty personal con
cern it was not in my hearing. He
appeared to husband himself until the
talk should take a wide impersonal
range, and then his comment was
fervent and illuminating. A noted
American poet critic has somewhat
similar habits, llis prolonged silences
are comfortable, even deferential, his
rare speech instinct with sympathetic
understanding with men and books
and nature. The late John I.aFarge.
who was in congenial society a con
tinuous talker, offered an interesting
equivalent for reticence in the allu
siveness of his touch and in a beauti
ful perception of the kind of sympa
thetic response you would have made
had you not been better occupied in
listening to him. He had what most
free talkers signally lack, perfect
tact.”
Titles to Land.
On what just basis can 1 claim ex
clusive right to a part of the limited
surface of the earth? “No man made
the land." said Mill. "It is the origi
nal inheritance of the whole species.”
No matter how far we delve into the
past, we can find no just title to the
private ownership of land. Blnekstone
admits that "there is no foundation in
nature or in natural law why a set
of words upon parchment should con
vey the dominion of land.” "Whilst
another man has no land." says Emer
son, "my title to mine, your title to
yours, is at once vitiated.” And Her
bert Spencer maintains that the titles
all rest on force, fraud or cunning.
When Edward 1. sent his commission
to inquire into the existing judicial
frail hises in 1'JTS Earl Warenne Hung
a rusty sword on the table and cried:
"This, sirs, is my warrant. By tla
sword our fathers won their lands
when they came over with the con
queror. and by the sword we will keep
them.”—F. W. Garrison in Atlantic.
The Chain of Lakes.
North Missouri's famous hunting
ground, known as the Chain of Lakes,
having resisted all attempts to drain
and cultivate, has been allowed to re
turn to its natural state. The Chain
of Lakes is wilderness surrounded by
rich terming land, towns and good
country roads. This section was the
original happy hunting ground for the
Indians of the west. On the banks of
tile Chariton river, at the edge of tlie
lake territory, they pitched their wig
wams, built a stone fort or dam and
put up an ingenious lisli trap, for there
were no game wardens in those days
That trap, repaired and strengthened
from time to time, was inherited by
white men who followed the Indians
and operated half a century. Then tin
game wardens, attracted by the an
eient fish trap's fame, went over to the
river and blew it up with dynamite.—
Argoua lit.
European Monkeys.
One of the rarest of living creatures
is undoubtedly a European monkey.
The only place on the continent where
these animals may be found is on the
rock of Gibraltar. They are of the
type known as Barbary apes and are
about the size of a terrier dog. A most
noticeable feature is that they do not
possess tails. Only about twenty of
the apes exist, and only by unceasing
protection and artificial feeding is the
species preserved. Many theories are
advanced as to how these apes first
came to Gibraltar. A popular idea is
that a subterranean passage exists be
tween tlie rock and the adjacent coast
of Africa, and that the monkeys pass
to and fro, but the more matter of fact
theory 'that they were originally im
ported by some local inhabitant is prob
ably correct.—Loudon Answers.
His Foot In His Mouth.
Another one of the things a fellow
says as a compliment and then realizes
that it isn't, is this—reported by a post
card helper:
"I was so grateful for your thought
fulness in writing me about my pool*
husband's terrible accident!" exclaim 1
ed the pretty widow.
"Not at all. not at all," stammered |
the family friend. "I was only too :
glad to have the opportunity!”—Ex
change.
Cricket.
Cricket seems always to have been
played in Britain. The first mention
of it Is found in a manuscript of the j
thirteenth century. The name comes
from the Saxon “crLe” or “cryc," a
.crooked stick, an obvious reference to ,
the bat with which it is played.
Guatemala
Guatemala is about as large as Lou
isiana. The planters are the most In
fiuentia! element, and they sell their
products for gold and pay their labor
in depreciated currency.
Korea’s Plum Blossom.
Korea displays the plum blossom on ;
her stamps. It is the royal flower of i
her last dynasty—a dynasty which j
reigned for 500 years, until the Jana- 1
nese wrested it away.
Had the Last Word.
“Pn had the last word in an argu
ment with me. as usual, last night.”
"The last word, as usual?"
"Yes; he apologized again."—Detroit
Free Press.
