PF1 Not to long ago a famous railroad mag-naf. remarked: "America thinks in thousands now, but fifty years hence it will be In millions." Apparently ha was correct, as'de irom the ract that he was long on the date. Evidently It Is not necessary to wait miy years, since the mere question of puglllstlo supremacy between James J. Jef fries and Jack Johnson Is to Involve mil lions of dollars as a result of Its many ramifications. Time was. and not so many years ago, either, when pugilists were will ing to contest for purses the nmounl of which could be expreyed In four figures Not sa today, however, for to the lncrcns! kubi 01 iivmir must ho added the Item of expense incidental to the settlement of ring chomplonNhlps. mis additional financial burden offers one oddity. Inasmuch as no one has come forward and charged that the lateat tariff tinkering Is responsible. Not even the In surgents at Washington have mentioned It In their propaganda. It la evident, never theless, that a new era is at hand In Pugilism. The cry, "Back to the Farm!" promises to be lost In the roar, "Ponvnrd to the Ring!" No longer are rlns heroes dressed as "Human Thunderbolt" nnd thn "Fighting Cyclone." Instead we rend of Jeffries as the "Hope of the White Race." nd Johnson ns tho "Negroes' Deliverer." When pugilists, no matter what their kIzo or ability may be, are thus Introduced to the public, It in but .a step to "Billionaire Battlers." Judging from the efforts of the ciatlstlrinua who are at work on the case, it would appear ns though he latter title Is as well deserved as any of the vim a niuui nave oecn evolved ly vpoi ting writers. These wine men of figures have already haken loose a bagful of ciphers which when they stood up in rows with a single numeral In front of them makes a most Imposing array. Tha addition of a dollar Ign furnishes a perfect climax. Theso horny flstrd survivals of the stone age are, after all, tho real money makers. irimmvw nature seems to reward Its fol lowers handsomely, despite civilisation Doasieo triumphs. Just stop and think, gentle reader, of dividing a purse of $101, wo aa the result of assimilating ROM east to west, and from north to south, the people of this great and glorious coun try are working Just now, aa they probably have not done before, upon one great nrnh- problem of living and especially tho cost of living. The high cost of the necessaries or life Is at the present time the dominant theme In the minds of the people. And the question suso-exts innih.r one very closely Identified with It, whether mis is not a most opportune time to serf ously consider the relative difference be tween actual necessaries and luxuries There Is a difference, and a very great dif- leretice. What la the difference between actual necessaries and luxuries? The wor.i "luxury" la defiled in the dictionaries as any article that ministers to pleasure." And "necessaries" as essential requi sites." The etymological meaning of these two words ;'necessarlea" and "luxuries" leave no doubt as to the great difference existing between them. How common a raying it la that we hear: "It costs so much how to live.'" And yet. In spite of the present high cost of living, how few people really discriminate between what they actually need and what thev actn.iiu do not needl The avera.e man with h- average Income, even If he dues occasion. ally think of the future of his family, how can he make any satisfactory provision for them-for does it not take about n that he earns to live from day to day? Is 11 noi ms aauy problem-how to meet his present obligations? It Is all and more than he can do. Still, this lo the man who ought to very carefully consider the rela tive difference between necessaries and luxurics-botweert the thlniti that hB have and those things ho need not have It is in the light of this great differ. that life insurance becomes not a aubjuct iu regain njjnt.y or to postpone, but an actual and every day necessity. In thousands of cas-s upon it depend the pro tection and preservation of the home, when the hard-working bread winner has ceased 10 wont-ana passed on. In tho inventory of essential requisites, every man, whether rich or poor, should Include life insurance. If he Is poor he needs it all tho more, be cause It Is the only way by which ha can make future provision for the actual needs of his family. If he Is rich he never can tell whfn his riches will leave him with nothing except his life Insurance to pro tect the ones nearest and dearest to him. To make provision for his family to the best of his ability Is the sacred duty of every man. "He that provldeth not for his own household," declares the "Good Book," is "worse than an Infidel and hath denied the faith." Life Insurance, because It covers contingencies which cannot be otherwise provided against, is without doubt the very best and wisest provision a man can make against the "rainy day," and gives the cloud In the distance a most beautiful "silver lining." In the light of our discussion. Necessaries vs. Luxuries, sure.y me insurance must be eeen to be an actual necessity for every man and for the protection of every home. It becomes the only means by which the majority of men will ever be able to make any provision for the future of their families and yet how many men scarcely give It a thought until It Is too late. A writer In "Tho World Today" re cently stated that among l.luO persons In Philadelphia almshouse, only three were found to have been beneficiaries of life In surance and thoso only to the extent of Itf.OOO. In the Montgomery county Pennsyl vania Almshouse none of the 13 Inmates had ever been beneficiaries of life Insur ance. Of 6,000 children passing under the observation of father Lynch of Chicago, at one of tho large church asylums, the parenti carried life Insurance In not more than twelve cases, of twenty-four work. Ing men recently drowned, for whose fam ilies the newspapers took up popular ub- , ... turi,eu ,lle insurance for as much as H.OiiO. This Is the comment of "The World Todav" n ti... Thus do tho orphans of the uninsured ba- oome the dependents of tho state." We might continue to give such fact. nri figures as these, If tho valuable space of Tho Uee would only permit, but enough surely has already been written to convince the averago man with tho avcrago Income -working hard each day over the problem of llvlng-that there la a great difference between necessaries and luxuries-bctween tho things ha actually needs and the thlrga he actually does not need, and that among the most pressing and vital of his needs is the great and constant need of life Insurance. JNew ork on Tune Xi and will not return until July 11. The circular, which Is of Itself a most pretentious affair, calls for stops of anywhere from three hours to day at Indianapolis, Kansas City, Grand Canyon, Redlands, Los Angeles, Santa Bar bara and lel Monte, on the way to San 1'ranclsco. On the return trip a more northern route will be taken and stops will be made at Ogden, Salt Lake City, Huena Vista, Colorado Springs, Lenver, Omaha, Chicago and Buffalo. Laturloua Trains. All these trains will be solid vestlbuled Pullman equipment. Including parlor, sleep ing, observation and buffet cars. Special ! drawing room and stateroom compartments win cost rrom MO to lX each In addition to the regular fare of $250. Perhaps the most remarkable special Is one prepared for those admirers of puglllstlo contests, who, for business reasons, cannot afford to havo their names appear as patrons of the "art of self-defente" as the promoters of bouts delight to term such affairs. This will be a special train which will be char tered exclusively for a large number of gentlemen who will register as Mr. Iirown, Jones or Smith, as their fancy may dic tate.

The biggest land owner In the Cattle Raisers' association Is Don Luis Terraza. of Chihuahau, Mexico. His holdings are estimated at 7,000,000 acres, but then In that aectlon of the country a man is merely stock farmer until he has a range of 1,000,000 acre, or so. Kight in Texas, however, there ar some ranges big enough for a first class base ball diamond or a game of croquet. Tom Waggoner Is not yet out of land remembrance. A 300,000 acre tract, valued at $6,000,000 with the cattle on It, was given to his three children as a Christmas remembrance. The 600,000-acre tract which he split with hi. children to give them a .tart In life did not comprise all the land he owned then and now. In fact, million 1 the term necessary In getting It all In. but this 300,000-acre tract was one ranch. all In one bunch, in Baylor, Knox and Wilbarger counties. In the land retained by Mr. Waggoner Is the Gardo Blanco ranch, of 800,000 acre.. Th Zacawelsta ranch, which was the center for th com bined ranches, wa given to Mrs. A, B Wharton of thla city. Ills daughter. By the gift she becomes owner of ground enough for a tennis court, at least. It. Ixe being 100,000 acre. It I hard to rea lise how much $00,000 acres comprise. It 1 about 1,100 square miles, or as much as the state of Rhode Island. But there era other ranches with room to get a full breath on even in thl age of congestion. There I Mr. H. M. King' ranch of 1,000,000 acres In outh Texas, and the Matador, In the lower Panhandle, with 60,000 acres. And even central west Texas, which now claims to be no longer ranch, but a farming country, has sev eral good sized patches of range property. George and W. V. Reynolds hav about half a million acre of ranch In that aec tlon of the state, and the Swensons hav about 660.000 acre for cattle feeding still In Dlckln county, whll the "M.
