One of the most notable incidents of
recent occurrence in California is the
.livision of large landed properties,
with ultimate plans ft i colonization.
This comes about from cat.se.-, beyond
the control of the great land owners,
w ho part reluctantly with their prince-
ly realities. Tin e causes are in opera
. taste.
Without saying more Mr. March
wrote the checks, to w hich the old man
added his tremulous signature. As the
:our.d of the limping footsteps died
nway in the hall, Mr. March turned
again to the five checks on his desk.
"They look small—yes, they do."
Mechanically he added a cipher to the
one nearest him. "That looks better."
A cipher was added to each check.
"One hundred. Two hundred and fifty.
They'll all have to be written over."
Mr. March leaned his head on his
1 hands, less in a hurry to get home
than he had thought. The glorified
*'ace of the old servitor was still before
bis mind's eye. Mr. March doubted
if ever in his life he had looked into a

COSTLY GIFTS.
Not So Much Appreciated ;.s Presents
C'iieaper and More Tactful.
Holiday presents have become each 1
year more and more expensive, while
the actual giving is getting less ai.d less
hearty. We bewail the worry of plan-
ning gifts, and get ourseh.s irritable
and sick in the necessary shopping and
purchasing. And hundreds, yes, thou-
sands, of us give a sigh of relief when
Christmas has passed, and are ready to
confess that we are "so glad it i.s nil
over for another year." And why?
Simply because of one thing; we are
actuated by the wrong feeling. The
whole system of our living is becoming
one grand mass of foolish ostentntiou,
and our present mode of Christmas-
giving is the outgrow th of it. We feel
that we cannot afford to give a 1 imple
present; we must give something ex-
pensive," something that will make an
appearance and show. This is felt by
the recipient, and next year, to hold her
own, she feels that she must return
something equally costly. The follow-
ing year this must again be outdone,
and so it goes, each year adding to tin
expense, and less to the true spirit ol
the giving. We nil try to outdo each
other, and we are proud when we are
told afterward that our present was
the most beautiful of all that were re-
ceived. Now, as a matter of fact, tli<
most expensive things we can buy are
generally the most useless, particular-
ly when we go into the realm of orna-
mentation. Surely these are not the
times to lock up hundreds and thou-
sands of dollars in ornaments as useless
as ofttimcs they are ugly. Of the use-
ful we can scarce have too much; oi
the useless a little goeth a very lon:j
way. Presents with a purpose arc
presents indeed, but how few we set-
nowadays. With a great host of people
it does not seem to matter so much
whether a present is appropriate, oi
whether it will prove acceptable to the
recipient, so long as it is costly and
"makes a show." We too often la\
others under obligations which it is
impossible for them to meet without
embarrassment.—Ladies' Home Jour-
nal.
This year there are two rlilin(f coaU in '■ ,'jnn :i|| ,ntr the I'niteil Suites, I.ul are
vogue. One is a jaunty double- breasted I
cutaway, made to show a vest and linen '
chemisette. It has a small turnovei |
collar and peaked lapels to roll ojten;
also a mannish pocket near the left !
shoulder. The other coat is single- '
breasted and ends at the waist line in I
a point, with a coat-tail back. The first !
coat is the more popular, as every worn* |
an who rides delights in a vest, and it s |
iu this coat that the vest is displayed to
advantage.
The latest vests are of Tattersall vest-
ing in plaid designs. They are extreme- .
ly stylish and give the correct touch of i
color to a dark costume. The novelty |
of the season is a dark blue and bright
green plaid. Plain red vests are always j
in favor during the fall, and they are
pretty .enough to be worn the year |
round,
Shetland cloth is perhaps the newest j
material for riding habits, but the j
standard cloths, like whipcord, melton !
t .nd covert are always to be relied upon.
The favorite colors are dark blue. |
brown, black and deep green. The skirt j
of the well-made riding habit does not |
fit too tightly over the hips. It mean- i
tires two inches below the foot when in |
the saddle. A new riding skirt, which j
originates with one of the best habit
makers in town, is well worth adopt- |
ing. It has one seam of the skirt on the
side, \\ liich goes over the pommel, out-
toned instead of sewed. The button?
are arranged with a fly, so that tiny
are invisible or. the outside of the skirt
but in case of an accident or when any
extra strain is brought to bear upon tin
seam it will quickly unbutton.
The linen chemisette and collar worn
with the riding habit changes but little
from season to season. It should al-
ways be severely plain, and a four-ill- I
hand tie is preferred to a stock bow. A
small black four-in-hand is considered
cousins,
brother and
hail made in the h
ily. John could easily reali/.e the feel- |
ing of opulence which it spread
home roof and that of his unc
near. Later he had enlarged the gift.
Brother, sister and cousins had married
and set up homes of their own. None
of then had, line himself, prospered!
abundantly; and when first John
March had written out three checks for
ten dollars and two for twenty-live,
he still knew the rejoicing they would
carry into families in which money
was scarce.
He had rejoiced in doing it, all the ,
more that a little effort and self-denial
had been necessary accompaniments of
the gifts. That was many years ago.
Time and circumstances had built up
walls between him and his relatives, j
and the old heartiness of good w ill was ;
wanting.
"It is really time I was letting it go."
A thought'crossed him of how good the
bit of money still came to its recipients.
"But I'm under no obligations to keep
it up. I have made my money—they
had the same chance. Their lives are
what they have made them, just as
mine is what I have made it. They ex- j
pect help from me, and they have no |
right to.'
He fretfully recalled the time when
it had been represented to him that un-
less the brother who still held the old
homestead had a lift of a few hundred
dollars the place would pass out of his
hands. It had been given, and that
was the end of any trouble from David.
With his sister it had been worse. She
had made an unfortunate marriage,
and then been widowed. Meek and
mild in her disposition, she had never
directly applied to him except when
in extremities, but was given to keep-
ing her burdens and struggles before i
him in a way which he sometimes |
found exasperating.
Cousin Tom had been a scapegrace— j
always in trouble, always looking for |
some one to help him out and set him ,
going again on the basis of many prom-
iaes of better things. Cousin Harvey |
was the possessor of a larpe family t
and smi ll everything else. It was not
no very long-since Mr. March had helped j
htm out west, finishing his assistance :
with the suggestion that in future it
would be agreeable that he should keen 1
crate tone of one taking sjtecinl pains
to make himself understood.
"What do you mean. Mike?"
"Jist phat I'm aftlier savin', stir.
Five hun'erd dollars to Patrick O'Toole,
an' five hun'erd dollars to Dennis
O'Toole."
"Out of your damage money?" Mr.
March asked, between two short
breaths (if astonishment.
**That'd be it, sur. Where else would
the iikes o' me be gettin' five hun'erd
dollars?"
"Where, sure enough! Why—" Mr.
March gazed at the old janitor with a
comical mixture of amazement and
friendly contempt. "Why—you old—
fool!"
Mike stood quietly with a broad grin
on his face.
"I)o you mean to say," went on the
gentleman, "that you're going to give
such amounts out of the two thousand
dollars you cot as damages from the
street railway for injuries which have
made you a cripple for life?"
"Such amounts" seemed a little be-
wildering to Mike.
"Would ye be thinkin' I ought to l>e
dividin' aiquil wid 'em, beiu' they're
me own brothers, sur?" he began.
"< o long with you!" said Mr. March,
with a laugh and a stamp of his foot.
"Mike," he continued,seriously,"if you
do mean such a crazy thing, I hope you
will hear me when I advise you against
it. Why, man, you are getting old.
Your two thousand dollars is almost all
your dependence for your old age—for
you and your wife."
"It's the ould wife and mesilf '11 be
airnin' this many a year yit, sur, plase
the Lord."
"But, Mike, think of the difference
this money w ili make in your comfort.
With your simple ways it will make
years of ease in your life. You can sit
by your fire in your own snug hired
room, instead of working liard—you
with your crippled limb."
"Musther March," he said, "I know it
all, none betther nor mesilf. I know
jist how much nisier it is to sit by the
fire nor to go out in the perichin' cold
1 and the initial figure would not be one
ot the smaller ones, either. His own
family lived well, but not extravagant- j
ly; his yearly expenses were but a small I
proportion of his rapidly increasing j
yearly income
"And I've never made anyone feel I
rich. Old Mike's ahead of nie there." i
With a shrug of his shoulders he drew
towards him one of the checks and
added to it another cipher.
liich? There was not one of these
| families to whom such a check would
not come as an angel's gift, with stares
and catches of breath, tears of joy from
care-burdened elder ones, shouts of de-
light from youngsters. lie knew it all,
tor he had been poor himself, long ago.
"One thousand dollars. Twenty-five
hundred dollars."
There was a little excitement nl>out
it, Mr. March left his chair and walked
up and down the floor. How liad it
been that he had never before realized
what a small scratch of his pen could
do? They were his own flesh and
blood. They were in one way and an-
other enduring the hardness, the daily
md nightly wear of mind, the pitiful,
gnawing solicitude which belongs with
small means. Soul, mind and body,
the hardness touched them all, binding
them down with it,s iron touch, narrow
ing them with its cruel limitations.
His own flesh and blood. They had
stood to him as of far less value than
this money he had been accumulating
—money which could never bring to him
m« re than food, clothing and lodgipg.
Yea, it could. It could bring to him,
to his very self, his very heart, the hap-
piness of five fnmilies—this rare privi-
lege which he thanked God could come
with an easy scratch of his pen.
As he still crossed and recrossed his
office floor his movements beenmo
quicker, a glow spread over his face,
and a new light shone in his eye. At
length he sat down nnd slowly wrote
again the checks, lingering over them
as over an enjoyable task; and when all
were finished each showed still one
more cipher.—Sydney Day re, in Dein-
orest'c Magazine
THE GRACE OF ACCEPTANCE.
More Ditllcult to <iru« cfully Uccclvc* Than
to Mwkc h Ulft.
This may be a surprising statement,
but it is nevertheless true: it is a
harder matter to receive a gift graceful-
ly than to give one. Just4hink about
it for a moment and see it it has not
proven true in your own experience.
Have you not given something upon
which you had spent a great deal of
time and work, and which you had in-
tended should give pleasure, and then
had ail your glad enthusiasm chilled b\
a lack of something, you could hardh
tell w hat it was, in your friend's man-
ner? Don't you suj:pos;e you have
sometimes disappointed some one else
in like manner yourself? It is worth
while to think about the gracious way
to receive a gift, and then it may be
that this Christmas time you w ill con-
fer as much happiness upon the giver
us you receive yourself from the gift,
and so it will be a two-fold source of
happiness. In the first place, think
only of the generous intention of the
giver to give you pleasure, instead of
the value or usefulness of the gift it-
self. There is an old Arabian proverb
which fits in well just here: "Never
look a gift horse in the mouth." When
a man is going to buy a horse he exam-
ines his teeth to see his age and deter-
mine other matters relating to his
value. If the horse is to be a purchase
this is all very right and proper, but it
would be very ungracious if the horse
was intended for a gift to examine its
mouth and look into the value of your
present. Let us be very careful never
to look our gift horses in the mouth.
Even if we may have reason to suspect
the sincerity of the intention of the
gift, which sometimes may be tke case,
crush out all thoughts of that kind as
unworthy of yourself, if not the giver,
and receive it gratefully, taking it for
granted that it was meant to give you
pleasure, and that you intend to express-
that pleasure.—Christian Work.

Inequality In the World.
There is, and there always has been
inequality in the world, in spite of tin
striving of generous heurts and eu
lightened minds for equality. Although
equality has never ceased to show it
self, and effect itself, within the dif-
ferent orders, and in modern times tc
characterize at least superficially that
more efficient in California for various
loeal reasons,one being the higher price
of lund, and another being that it is not
a corn country, which crop gives em-
ployment to laborers luring a large
part of the year. In the hands and un-
der the watchful eye of an industrious
owner there is no port of the world that
will better repay the small farmer who
engages in mixed husbandry on the in-
tensive system. But this is faraway
from the theory of the great ranchers.
Some of thoe owners have sought t >
cultivate their land by hired Chinamen
or by leasing to tenants. largely for*
eigne rs; but the great acre: has bc«
given over to vast herds of cat le, horse t
and sheep.
This state has her share of electric
railroads, with certainty of great in-
crease in the near future, while towns
of asphaltum pavement and level or
e;..-y country grades over almo.-t land-
less roads for cyclinghaveconspired to
bring the price of common range horses
below the cost of raising. I>cef pro-
ducers still find a profit if they have
alfalfa fields for a "finish," but this
culls for an investment in seeding and
irrigating, drain growing formerly
yielded large returns by means of the
machinery used, which fi rs t attained
perfection in this state, but is now out
of the question on lands held at these
prices.
Fruit grow ing, for "which California
is and ever will be distinguished above
all the other states of the union, re-
quires an investment on each acre equal
to or greater than the price of the land,
and also the constant oversight of the
owner, or of an interested high-grade
manager. Good lands have be 11 con-
sidered first-class security, and the
owners had no difficulty in placing
I mortgages of $5,000 to $500,000. Pay

and there is no alternative except to let
the property go at reduced prices.
While this is a disappointment to many
families, who hoped to see the mag-
nificent estates go to their children,
perhaps for generations to come, yet it
will be of incalculable benefit to the
state.
These great landed estates in-
clude many of the most desirable lands
in the valleys, which selections were
made in early days and purchased as
Spanish grants, often at a nominal
price. Other ranches, sometimes com-
prising hundreds of thousands of acres,
were purchased in part from railroad
grants of every alternate or the odd
numbered sections or square miles,
while the even numbered sections were
acquired from the United States
through the various land laws, and
finally gathered into the millionaire's
estate. This land monopoly, w hieh h:*a
so retarded real development, is cer*
tninly giving way under the pressure
of the now conditions.
Most of the great lords of the soil
have passed already into the sear and

does theft, so does murder, so does un-
chastity, so do almost all the sins and

in fact, the sum of them; in the body of J
this death they fester and corrupt for- j
ever. As long as we have inequality we '
shall have these sins and shames, which
spring from it, and which live on from
inferior to superior. Few vices live
