A Colonial Bachelor .
OSTON’S famous bachelor,
B Fuvnxeuil, came to Boston from/the
family home at New Rochelle, N. Y.,
and was soon received at the home of-
his uncle, Andrew Faneuil, a freaky
old man, who, although having been
married in his early life in France,
seemed determined to prevent any of
his nephews from indulging in that
alliance. “
This old Huguenot merchant had
taken. his nephew, Benjamin, brother
of Peter, to his heart and home, with
.the tacit understanding'that he should
have his great fortune on condition
that. he should remain single. Things
went on well in that mansion on Tre-
and all was up, for he was engaged
before he hardly realized it, and was,
consequently: banished from his un-
cle’s home and prospective fortune.
It was then that Peter stepped into
the beautiful home of luxury. on the
same conditions. '
No arrangement of domestic affairs
at the Tremont street mansion could
have been more to the mind of the.
~_Peter and niece Mary Ann each in sin-
gle life. occupying that which he could
no lo: gcr enjoy and feasting them—
selves upon the good things of his gar-
den. Theirs was a lot envied by many.
Among the homes to which young
Peter was introduced when coming to
Boston. was that of the Jekyll family,
consisting of. the head, who was col--
lecto-r of the port of Boston, his queen-
‘ly wife, with two sons and two- daugh-
ters, who were not far from his age.
Here Peter found most congenital so-
ciety. ' Joseph and Bic-hard Jekyll with.
Peter mellll made ahappy trio.
Peter most generously shared his
portion of the Coleman pears from his
uncle’s garden with these companions.
'The cinnamon roses, so carefully cul-
tured by the old Huguenot, were early
found before the large pierglass at the
Jekyll home, and the rarities produced
in the Faneuil hothouse were slyly
shared with title- Misses Hannah and
Mary J ekyll.
In August, 1730, Jonathan Belcher
appeared as the. governor of the prov-
ince. He was of Massachusetts birth,
son of Andrew Belch-er, aconrtemporarry
of Andrew Faneuil. Young Jonathan.
had been sent to England as agent for
the colony, and made so favorable an
impression on the king, George I., that
his majesty had appointed him as gov—
ernor of his native province.
The coming of the young man in this
capacity was an occasion ofgreat pomp
and parade in the town. There was a.
reception :1; his residence in Orange
street. The people of “quality” in the
:town were all in. attendance. and Peter
Faneuil 1' resented his Huguenot- sister
when the company took positions for
the dance.
Peter and Mary came in touch with
the Jekyll ladies, and a- mutual admira-
tion at once sprang 11p. When the
J ekyll sisters displayed their grace in
the minuet Peter's eyes were riveted
upon them. ,
Fearing that his uncle Andrew might
detect: his emotions. Peter plunged into
business in hopes to conquer himself.
In vain did Peter seek relief in busi-
ness.
' In less than. three years the port of
Boston was without a collector, and the
Jekyll pew was shrouded in mourning,
Peter was honored with a mourning
ring from the Jekyll heirs.
In the course of settling the estate
the family was obliged to leave Bos-
ton and go to London; The real es—
tate in Boston was left in Peter
Faneuilr’s charge. These-duties heper-
formed with a willing heart. When
signing a receipt for rent in behalf of
the Jekylls'hc felt that he had a per-
sonal interest in the welfare of each,
and when making a remittance be ac-
companied it- with a letter, which con—
cluded with his characteristic, “I sa—
lute you, kiss my h-and,” etc.
When the Huguenot uncle was ill
Peter was notified by the Jekyll bro-th-
ers that their sisters were about to sail
for Boston to be in his care.
fearful was .Pelcr of losing the
conditional fortune thathc had not
even intrustc-d his secret to his sister,
Mary Ann, and she planned to wel-
come the young sisters at the mansion
on Tremont street.
The ship arrived and cast anchor at

; The Jekyll brothers" request toPetelr
Faneuil applied only to their sisters’
financial interests, but. he construed it
to mean their entire welfare. ‘
But when Peter was off guard Lord
Linninlgton made bold to step forward
'and make love to Miss Mary Jekyll.
The mere rumdr of it was enough to
:cause Peter to appear and remonstrate
;wi*th all his business ability, but of
what avail are business rules and
formulas at such a crisis?
; Had Miss Mary ventured to ask, as
"did the Puritan maiden—“My don’t
yen speak for yourself, J ohn?”—it
,would have availed nothing. Fearing
Ithe future, but hoping against the most i
discouraging symptoms, Peter Faneuil, ,
§with a heavy heart, left the Green'
,Dragon tavern and made his way to his
beautiful home.
_ ‘As Peter and Mary Ann Faneuil
fW-alked Up to King’s Chapel on an early '
ESabbath the jolly bachelor saw post-ed _
Ithe intention of marriage between '
ILord Linnington and Miss Mary
Jekyll. There was no rest or worship
in the Faneuil pew that Sabbath.
Mary Ann was visibly disturbed, and 3
Peter spent. his time in planning for
‘the future.
He at once made plans for the young _
ladies to go out of town for a change,
and, during an interview with Miss
Mary, extracted a promise from her
not to allow the publication to be re-
peated on the following Sabbath.
Mr. Faneuil thought himself fortun—
ate in securing a home for the ladies
with a family of his friends at Haver-
hill, and it was a relief to him when he
saw them seated in the Faneuil coach
and started on their journey. He was,
however, uneasy when be reflected
upon what he had done. To exactya
promise without making one—in other
words, to rob a young lady of a fond
hope and not put one in its place, was
beneath a man of his position. A re-
solve to make her a contingent prom-
ise brought temporary relief to him,
but the contingency was his bug-bear,
‘and he went no farther. “Budge not”
carred the day.
Believing that an ounce of preven-
tion is better than a pound of cure,
Peter Faneuil decided to have the la-
dies return to England.
They were not averse to the plan,
and he made all needful arrangements
for them to cross the ocean in comfort
befitting their station. When the ship
was ready to sail they were called to
Boston, but only one responded to the I
call, and the distressed merchant de-
layed the vessel until he could have
time to pen a letter of explanation to
Mr. Robert Blacket Jekyll, in which he
says:
“I am sorry Miss Mary does not- con—
sult her own interest so much as I
could wish. She suffered herself to
be published to one Lord Linnington,
of St. Christopher‘s, whose character
I need not tell you of, He is :1 worth—

“Who has been the lady’s adviser I
know not, but much fear it has been
carried on by one and the other, with
the. privacy and knowledge of them
whom it would have become better to
have been ignorant of anything of this
nature. .
“I have done my utmost to persuade
her, and am sure whoever has influ-
enced her in these affairs cannot be her
friend. There is no accounting for sex
in afi'airs of love." ‘ .
Alas for Peter. He was astonished
that so much could be accomplished in
three days, when he had spent so many
years and done so little in that line.
He did not take into the account the
fact that Col. Saltonstall was a widow-

‘i‘If I had money,” said. aNorristown'
man, according to the Philadelphiafleci
0rd, “I'd exploit. the little village of
Waretown, on Barnegat bay. Ware—
t-own is not wonderful on account of its
excellent fishing and gunning, but on
account of its power of curing bald-
ness. Call me, if you will, a. liar, but
the fact- remains that not a bald-head-
ed man is to be found Within five miles
of Waretown, and any bald: stranger
out bareheaded as oft-en as possible, on
the bay and in the black grass mead:
ows, begins to thatch up right away,
and in- a year has a crop that isn’t a
thing but smooth! When I was down
last, in ’95, I met a man named Henry
Camburn—«you know they’re all Cam-
bilrn-s pretty much; down there. Well;
Henry, though an old man, hadahead
of thick, soft. brown hair like a. boy’s,
and he said it was his third crop.
“Twice. had he lived away from Wane—
each time, and so did. his hair. I believe
that the pure, strong winds, that smell
of pines and the! sea cause this thing,
and- if I had money I would get to-
gether a. colony of- bald—heads, take
them'ldown. to Waretown, keep them
out all day, and- every day fishing in
the summer, ducking in the winter,
without any hats, and; in a- yearI would
discharge them cured. I could easily
charge them $1,000 a head. Any man,
if he had it, would pay that.”'
LARGEST RANcfi’m -WORLD.
Its Area Is Greater Than That 01
Rhode Island and Delaware
Combined.
It seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
writes William Clinton, in Ladies’
Home Journal. Indeed, this ranch is so
extensive that some states could not
contain it. Connecticut, for example,
could not hold- it by several thousand
acres. , The two states of Rhode Island
and Delaware combined could not con-
tain this immense ranch, which con-
sists of 3,000,000 acres, or about 5,000
square miles. _
About a dozen years ago, when Texas
needed a'new state capitol, the legis-
lature adopted a novel plan to get it.
A promise was held forth that a vast
tract of unappropriatcd land would be
given in eschange for a suitable gran.-
ite building at Austin. Among those
tempted by this offer were ex-Senator
Charles B. Farwell and his brother
John, who ultimately formed a syndi-
cate in Chicago and took upon them-
selves the responsibility of erecting the
proposed capitol. Their part of the
agreement appears to have been‘car-
ried out to the satisfaction of the state,
and in. due time they came into the pos-
session of the immense domain now
known as the X. I. T. ranch. ‘

The New York botanical garden will
publish shortly the results of a- recent
expedition sent out under its auspices.
to explore the flora. of Yellowstone
park and the surrounding region. The
party of botanist-s was under the im-
mendiate supervision of Dr. P. A. Ryd<
berg, and its expenses were paid by‘
William E. Dodge. After a search of
‘three months it brought back to New
York 15,000 specimens. Most of these
were specimens of flowers, shrubs,
trees and seeds already well known,
and classified by scientists, says the
New York Sun.
But there was one species found hiths
erto unknown to botany, This was the
smallest willow tree extant anywhere
in the world. It is only an. inch and a‘
half high, and was found by ’Dr. Ryd-
berg on the summit of the Bridger
mountains in Montana.
“This species,” said Prof. N. L. Brit-
ton, of Columbia university, and direct-
or—in—chief of the New York botanical
garden, “is entirely new to us. It is
_‘.he very smallest willow tree to be
found anywhere, and flourishes to some .
extent on the Bridger mountams. ts
pigmy height is due to the extreme‘ex-
pols-lire of the mountain top. We can—
not plant it here, as Weather conditions,
would quickly kill it off, but a number
of preserved specimens will be ex—
hibited in the botanical museum in the
Bronx, when that building is com-
pleted next summer.”

That “Every Dog Has His Day” Is In-
terestingly Exemplified by an
English Canine.
Police Constable Dale, of the Learn-
lngton (England) force, has a kind
heart, and he has found that kindness
pays, says the London Sketch. In Jan-
uary of the past year he saw one day,
a sad sight in the streets—a poor, ema»
and most miserable-looking
spaniel being dragged along, tied to the
back of a dust cart. He not only pitied-
the poor animal, but came to his res-
cue. After ascertaining from the dust-
man that the dog had been given to him
by a lady who wanted to get rid of it,
and who certainly must have been-
without a particle of womanliness or
humanity. Dale purchased the dog for
a shilling. He took him home, care-
fully tended and fed him, and King
Kruger (for that is the name he has
given his pet) has now developed into
a beautiful silky—haired."field spaniel.
At the. recent Leamingtou dog and fan-
ciers’ show Constable Dale exhibited
King Kruger, who simply carried allbe-
fore him, winning the first prize in his
own class, the five-guinea challenge cup
for the best dog in the show, and a
special prize of a half-hundredwoight
of dog food given by a London firm.
King Kruger now has a. beautifully
