An empty headed duke ones said to
Thomas Carlyle at a dinner:
"The British people, sir, can afford
to laugh at theories."
Carlyle, scowling, replied:
"The French nobility or a hundred
years ago thought that they could af
ford to laugh at theorists too. But a
man came and wrote a book called
'The Social Contract. This man was
Jean Jacques Rousseau, and his hook
was a theory and nothing but a theory.
Tha nobles could laugh at his theory,
but their skins went to bind the sec
ond edition of the book."

If it is possible to frame up an absolutely safe, sane and conservative
investment, and at the same time give the Investor big returns on his
money, we have found it read the following and judge for yourself.
No chance to lose, and you cannot
help making a big profit. Here is
our story:
Last week a client of ours read
our advertisement for lands for col
onization purposes. He thought he
had what wa wanted and came to
see us. He brought with him a de
scription of 6036 acres. It reads as
follows:
Situated in a level valley, 40 miles
wide and 90 miles long, completely
fenced, 640 acres under plow, 8500 in
hay and 1896 acres virgin soil, com
pletely equipped for irrigation, all
main ditches completed and lateral
ditches' sufficient to irrigate every
acre except the virgin land, and
water can be put on every 40 of the
virgin land for a cost not exceeding
25 each 40. The owner haa a per
petual and exclusive water right;
sufficient supply of water to irrigate
the entire 6036 acres, and a surplus
sufficient to supply another tract
equally as large.
The property is ready for aubdi
- vision.
' The proposition looked ao good to
ns that we took a 80 day option at
$50 per acre, including water right.

We propose to form a syndicate to
bay this land, and immediately
thereafter to pot it on the market

An old 'military dictionary tells ns
that rata were sometimes used in wat
for the purpose of firing powder maga
zines by means of lighted matches tied
to their tails. We cannot offhand re
call any historical Instance of this, but
presumably It did occur, seeing that
Marshal Vauban laid down special
rules for counteracting It. Anyhow,
the dodge la as old as Samson, who,
yon may recall, uBed foxes In a similar
way for a somewhat similar purpose.
As to the royal rat catcher, We may
add that he had a special official livery.
According to Pennant's "British Zoolo
gy," it consisted of a scarlet costume,
embroidered with yellow worsted, In
which were figures of mice destroying
wheat sheaves. By the way, rats were
not the only animals honored with a
special catcher. Llecester, for instance,
used to pay a yearly salary ot 1 lis

this class of land are such that we

little probability that the unit hold
