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. Mr. W. J.

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.

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.

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. Items from Wcddington. Correspondence of The Journal.
