For over 200 years wars raged and nation succeeded nation in possession of the island of Ceylon, in their greed to obtain the fragrant cinnamon. Finally the land fell to the lot of the Portuguese, who so cruelly treated the natives that they appealed to the Dutch, with whom they were on friendly terms, to come to their aid. This nation for seven months laid *ege to the Island, carrying on a fierce warfare In which many persons perished. Finally In possession, the Dutch were hardly less cruel to the natives than their former rulers. They tried to keep the monopoly of the trade of the world; not a single cinnamon plant was allowed to leave the Island. If the crop was larger than that de manded by trade and the price In dan ger of being lowered, all that re mained was burned or thrown Into the sea. Cinnamon la now grown In many tropical countries, and much Im proved by cultivation. The Claim of Columbua. “Oh, no,” said Columbua. calmly, aa he sat down to dinner with the other shades on hoard the houseboat in the 8tyx. “I don’t feel jealous of Wash ington. He Is the Father of His Coun try, and I am not. I only discovered the orphan. I knew the country be fore It had a father or a mother. There wasn't anybody who was willing to be even a sister to it when I knew it. But Washington took it in hand, groomed It down, spanked it when it needed It, and starred it off n the career which has made it worth while for me to let my name he known n connection with It. Why should I l>e jealous of him?” —-Philadelphia Inquirer. Amos Grant Company Modern Homes $2,800.00 An eight-room, partly modern home in good condition.
