Those Americans who read his satires ami the statement of fact on which they were based experienced a feeling of patriotic thankfulness that 1 game laws were unknown In their land. Rut wlille "the logic of the nineteenth 'ontury attacks on the English game JnwK was never refuted this country haw seen since then a wide Imitation ol them.

Rut game laws that lrotc"t game to the Injury of agrlcul- ture and lnrrtnge tte right of Individ-1 mils to use their property as suits them copy the aristocratic English model al together too faithfully. A few years ago a man known tho country over, stood before a New York justice awaiting sentence. . As ho list ened to the words that the justice pro nounced, he heard himself denounced as tho meanest criminal alive. He waa sent to Sing Sing for a year and a half, and all the time lie was there the words "meanest criminal" rang in Ids ears. He came forth from Sing Sing, went to luxuriously furnished apartments lu a New York hotel, but -still the awlu) words continually haunted him. Tho other day with these same words still on his mind, he stood before a looking glass and blew out his brains. That man was Al Adams, the policy king. Of all New York gamblers Adams wan undoubtedly the meanest. From tlio mites of the poor, the dollars of tho laboring man, he amassed a fortune amounting to millions. On every slilo were men and women who had con tributed to his wealth, but he novo? appreciated the harm be had done un til he was told by the justice on tho bench that he was the meanest, criminal alive. From that moment he knew him self to be a marked man. a social out cast, a hunted prey. Life was not worth living. lOven his millions did not make It worth living. When Adams came out of Sing Sing lie missed his one opportunity to reclaim himself. He could have easily abandoned bis former life and began a new one, but he chose to .pursue the old course, and his choice was fatal frojn the start: for being a marked man he was always under tho espionage of the police. The fact that he was the meanest criminal seenled not to have dawned on him until short ly before he ended his life. Then ho held himself In contempt and ended It all. A sad case, but one that has its lessons for all. At a recent Chicago Commercial As sociation dinner James J. Hill retold the great 'story of the growth of tho Northwest since SoQ, laying special stress on the increase In farm valua tions 'In the fifty years .between " ISoO iwul 1000. ami predicting lhat, despite all our manufacturing and commercial activities, It will be to the farm that tills" nation must look for solid foun dations for its prosperity in the com-' hi'g generation. It Is Interesting "In this connection to consider the facts about the growth of farm valuations In the first half of the present decade as they appear in a bulletin of the Ag ricultural Department which has just been made public. The Inquiry Is based on correspondence conducted' with 4fi,. 000 correspondents "in the faH'of last year. The Increase In the value of medium" quality farms, buildings and Improvements included, in tho five-year period Is put at ."." per cent. The west ern gro'up of states and the south cen tral group, the hitter running from Kentucky and .Tennessee to Oklahoma and Texas show the greatest progress, with increased valuations "put at 10 per cent. The south Atlantic group . increase. Tho north central.group, including u.. -id die and nprth Atlantic -states, comes next with a .'15 per cent increase,. Talc Mng' farms, not by locality but by typl en I products, the cotton fa hum lead with a -10 per cent increase, the hay fnd grain farms .",1 per cent, farms deS voted principally to sugar show X', per cent, and the tobacco farms a .TJ nor cent "Increase. The grand aggregate' of Increase in valuation Is more than six billion dollars, of which more than two-thirds Is utlributod U) the bay, grain and Jive slock farms. Such fig. .ores as these show the share of the aJVlcultural Interestsof tlu country In the general Increasing prosperity ot the country. They do not show" the' bet ter utilization" of our . farming ro sources as" such. Nevertheless It is lui' questioned, that something at least of fills Iiu-rcase In values las duj' to Just such .direful nursing of farms as .Mr, Hill urgently advocates. "Moreover, this certainly may he saM. that.the present prosperity,, ooT 'the farmers . is putting thorn lu an excellent position to mako tho most, collectively and individually," ol .their .economic opportunities.

I havo been troubled with a- very bad case of eczema which 1 have spent hundred of dollars trying to cure, and l went to the hospital, but they failed to euro me, ami It was getting worse all tho time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and ouo cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now com pletely cured and well. It was impos sible for me to get employment, as my, face, head and body were covered with It. The eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and It had worked all the way around down the back of my, neck and around to my throat, down . my body and around the hips. It itched so I would bo obliged to scratch It, and the tlesh was raw. I am now all well, and I will be plcnsed to recom mend the Cuticura Remedies to all per sons who wish a speedy and perma nent euro of skin diseases. Thomas , M.
