In hi life he bas been sick enough
to go to bed but four times and on

dows open all the year. He does not
know what a dull drowsy feeling la
but is always fresh and vigorous. -always
feel just like I look when you
see me on the streets" said he, and
those who know him will agree that
he always bas the bearing of the
healthiest and most robust of men.
His statement that his health is per
fect is, from all appearances, abso
lutely the truth.

Hen in the Flood Rescued After 11
Perilous Journey.
Wilkesboro Patriot.
An enterprising black hen that
took refuge on a pack of lumber on
the Meadow Mill Co.'s yard in North
Wilkesboro during the big Hood, and
that was observed by several persons
perched upon the lumber as it was
carried down stream by the Mood, has
been located in the lower end of Yad

and tir.harmed in her perilous Jour
ney. The pack of lumber that bore
the hen safely through so many dan

lodged on an island and persons wi"
In view saw the hen and rescued her
after the water recoiled. Mr. J. 1).

A THIXti THE WORLD IS

Some of the World's I .and Baron
Half a century ago the government
of Mexico gave Don Luis Terrazas
17.000,000 acres of Mexican land for
his services in clearing the State of
Chihuahua of brigands and for his
military successes against the French
under Maximilian, who had planned
to become the Emperor of Mexico.
He was worth a billion dollars, the
landlord of 40,000 tenants. 10.000 of
whom were bis own private hired men
in charge of his 2,000.000 bead of
horses and rattle and his 300,000
calves. There were two towns on bis
estate, and it took a railroad train
eight hours to cross It He lived
with his family In a baronial castle.
In 1913 Villa drove the octogenarian
Don to the United States and divided
his estate among the widows and or
phans of the rebel soldiers. At pres
ent be Is living with his family In
San Antonio, Texas, and has only a
few millions of dollars left.
Every time William Randolph
Hearst allows his glance to stray to
wards Mexico his blood boils hot.
"Home, sweet home, be it only one
million five hundred thousand acres,
there's no place like home," he sings:
and. calling for Arthur Brisbane and
five phonographs, he sets Arthur to
work dictating five editorials at once
on the Mexican situation. Mr. Hearst
is one of the largest landlords in the
world. To get to his place in Mexi
co, you cross the border and turn to
the left. Walk along the road until
you come to his front gate, turn In
and walk forty miles, and you are
at his front door.
Every morning somebody knocks
at the door of the Duke of West
minister and says, "Good morning,
Duke; here's yesterday's rent." The
Duke sticks it in his pocket noncha
lantly, without counting it, for he
knows that it's Just an even $5000.
He is the richest landlord in England.
Every time the lease of one of his
London properties expires his Grace
renews it at an enormously enhanced
rent. The Duke is only thirty-seven.
The landlord, Felix Isman. makes
no secret of the fact that he started
life as an offlce-boy, who could neith
er read nor write, at $2.25 a week.
After a year of earnest work he was
raised to $2.50. He It was who
bought the site of the United States
Mint in Philadelphia, putting the
deal throuch on a shoestring and
stretching the payments out over
nine years. Nine years he collected
the rents, while the land Increased
enormously In value, and the city
worried itself siek trying to collect
the taxes. "Better a vacant house
than a bad tenant," is his motto.
What d'you mean by " bad." Felix?
One who asks to have the parlor re
papered everv nine years?
It's wonderful, when you come to
think of it. that only a little more
than a hundred years ago the found
er of the Astor fortune came over
rrom Waldorf and found New York a
vacant lot. He bougrht nice corners
from the Indians at about one red
head a front foot, and handed them
down to his descendants. Today ten
ements, apartments, theaters, fash
ionable hotels, and big office build
ings pay 24-year-old Vincent Astor
some millions a year.
Baron Edouard de Rothschild of
Paris Is the head or the $4,000,000
banking house of Rothschild, which
draws its Income from millions of
acres of land In all of tne six conti
nents. The Rothschild rules, which
have been handed down In the family
for a hundred years, are: 1. Remain
faithful to the law of Mo?es. 2. Re
main united to the end. 3. Consult
your mother. 4. Look on the family
wealth as a perpetual trust. 5. Never
brook disobedience. 6. Intermarry.

Monroe, 1M. C.
a few months ago at the age of
eighty-four in obscure London bache
lor rooms. Though his realm con
sisted of 57.000 acres in South Gal
way, he lived there for only one short
period In bis life. During the Fair
Rent Campaign the tenants vera
driven off bis estate, and for twenty
years 400 of these exiled people liv
ed miserably aloof the road to his
estate, forming a starved little colo
ny known as Evicted Village.
The Duke of Bedford's yearly In
come from his London property was
a cool $10,000,000 for a long time;
but when Lloyd-George's land taxes
went Into effect in 1914. it became
only half that The poor Duke was
forced to sell nineteen acres of his
London property for an approximate
$30,000,000. When his heir. Lord
Tavistock, came of age. and the ten
ants of his country estate gave the
young man a handsome present, the
Duke could give In return nothing
but bis cordial thanks.
Three times a week little Mrs. Re
becca A. D. Strope, aged seventy-one,
climbs the wooden stairway of No.
175 Broadway to a musty office with
battered desks and chairs and well
worn linoleum on the floor. From
the center Is administered the $25,
000.000 Wendel estate for the sole
benefit of four old ladies all in
charge of sister Rebecca. The real
estate rules of the office are as fol
lows: 1. Never mortgage anything.
2. No property for sale. 3. Remember.
Broadway moves north ten blocks a
decade. 4. Tenants must make their
own repairs. Mrs. Strope Is a land
lady w illing to lose money for a prin
ciple. Thousands of dollars in rent
als she has sacrificed because the
Wendel wpn't lease to saloons or
restaurants nor will they allow elec
tric signs on their property.
Frederick Weyerhaeuser came to
this country from Germany eighty
two years ago and went into the car
pentry business. Not making a sue
cess of that, "Dutch Fred" went We.f
to take up lumbering. He took up
quite a lot thirty million acres of
rich timber-land, an area equivalent
to six New Jerseys. His sawmills,
sprinkled all over the lumber terri
tory of the Northwest (one of them
in Oroflno. Idaho, was a mile square)
turned out a fortune of millions. Be
cause Weyerhaucuser was a taciturn,
parsimonious man, nobody knew the
extent of his wealth until he died In
1914 in his modest St. Paul home.
"The mouth is made to eat with,"
was the maxim he used In replying
to the inquisitive ones. A Maxim si
lencer, as it were.
