Per haps this Is largely true so far as Schwab's observation extends. Hut It must bo understood thnt the brain of Charles M. Schwab lias n very limited horizon.

Tho man who thinks of nothing but mnklng money mny not bo cnpnblo of realizing that other peoplo can think of nobler purposes. Llko the pig, with Its snout so deep In tho trough that Its eyes aro burled In tho slop, Its hu man prototype mny nlso be unable to seo or think of anything lu tho world but the ouo business of getting all that's to bo got. It Is right nnd proper thnt tho pig should hnvo no thought but for Its stomach It Is made that way.

Ho spills no blood, but ho murders n man to mnko a pig. It Is tho basest of suicides, nnd perhaps tho commonest. It Is right nnd proper, too, that n mnn should mnko nil tho money he cnu get honestly nnd use wisely. Tho mnn who mnkos money, ns n menus to nn cud, Is not to bo despised. Ho Is doing his pnrt of the world's work, nnd tho part Is no smnll or Ignominious one. Hut thcro nro other duties In tho world nesmes nniKing money.

Tho French settlement of "Nntehl koehes" Is shown nud tho countries of tho Natchez nnd Apache Indians aro Indicated und It Is Interesting to note tho "Klo do Norte," which, nccordlng to this wonderful mup, rises among Home mountains In n hind about where South Dakota now Is. Mr. Iletislnger says one Important factor In the text of this work Is tho dcscrlptloii'of certain Indian tribes "to ward tho Nort; Hlver" (Klo Orando), known as tho 'Teens," was then tho name for the reformed Indians living lu tho missions, for It speaks of them us "having embraced Christianity" und "being tho moro passionate lovers of tho Spaniards," Texas was therefore, no douht, derived from tho word 'To ens," ho says.
