WMi Roll of Bills Looked Like Wealthte ii . leading Tammanyites were Mttling their election bets at the Dem­ ocratic club the other day when Hen­ ry Schroder remarked reminiscently: "It cost me a trip to Florida a few months ago to learn why New Yorkers have such a mania for one-dollar bills. As it happened, the trip paid me pret­ ty well, besides clearing up the dollar- bill mystery. v "An aged negro near Ocala had foiv tfr acres of land, for which he was ask­ ing |30 an acre," continued the racon­ teur. "We had haggled over the price for a week when a Florida friend of mine advised offering him $10 an acre cash down in bills of smallest denom- ablation. It took some time to gather so many one-dollar bills in that com- inanity, but finally, with an imposing roll in my grip, I called on the ob­ durate landowner. One glance at the pile which accompanied my offer for the land was enough for him. He ac­ tually signed the transfer as though fearful that the bargain would slip through 'ift, fingers."--New York Greatest in the World. .Islington, Ind., Dec. 5th.-(Special) --Mr. W. A.

Pixie-Led. if Ivarsdale to his tower unhindered; and the of the winter nights, while the winds of the Wolf Month howled about the palisades, he listened undisturbed to his harper; and the rest of the winter days he trod in peace the homely rou­ tine of his lordship--in peace and in absent-eyed silence. Perhaps it was the future that was engrossing his mind, but sometimes it came to him dimly as a strange thing how so small a matter as a slip of a girl in a page's dress could loom so large that there was no corner of manor or tower but recalled some trick of her tossing curls, some echo of her ringing laughter. Did he outsit the mald3 and men around his hearth and watch the dying fire with no other companions than his sleeping dogs, fancy placed a scarlet-cloaked figure at his feet and raised at his knee a face of sweetest friendliness, whose flower-blue eyes brightened or gloomed in response to his lightest mood. Whenever this vision rose be­ fore him, he stirred in his chair and turned his face from the light. As the winter wore on, he grew rest­ less in his solitude, restless and sul­ len as the waters of the little stream in their prison of ice. He told himself that when the spring came he would feel more settled; but when on one of his morning rides he Came upon the first crocus, lifting its golden cup toward the sun, it only gave to his pointless restlessness a poisoned barb. Involuntarily his first thought was, "It would look like a spark of lire in the dusk of her hair." When he real­ ized what he had said, he planted the great forefoot of his horse squarely on the innocent thing and crushed it back into the earth; but it had dohe its work, for after that he knew that neither the promise of the springtime nor the fullness of the hartest would bring him any pleasure, since his eyes must see them alone. Ltke a new lease of life it came to him when the last of t.fee April days brought the long-delayed summons to the King. The old cniht, who consid- | changed that inside the threshold the i Etheiing checked his swinging stride to gaze incredulously. The knots of men, scattered here and there in buzz­ ing discussion, were all dark-robed merchants and white-bearded judges, while around the table under the window a dozen shaven-headed monks were working busily with writing tools. The King himself was no long­ er armored, but weaponless and Clad in velvet. Certainly Edmund had never re­ ceived a greeting with more.of formal dignity than the young Dane did now, while Edmund could never have spok- jen what followed with this grim di­ rectness which sent every word home like an arrow to its mark, "Lord of Ivarsdale, before I speak further I think it wise that we should make plain our minds to each other. Some say that you are apt to be a hard man to deal with because you bend to obedience only when the com­ mand is to your liking. I want to know if this is true of you?" Half in surprise, half in embarrass­ ment, the Etheiing colored high, and his words were some time coming; but when at last they reached his lips, they were as frank as Canute's own. "Lord King," he made answer, "that some truth is in what you have heard cannot be gainsaid; for a king's thane I shall never bs, to crouch at a frown and caper according to his pleasure. Yet I will say this--that I think men will find me less unruly than formerly, for, as I have accepted you for my chief, so I am willing to render you obedience in any manner soever you think right to demand it This I am ready to swear to." . Canute's fist struck his chair-arm lightly. "Nothing more to my mind has occurred for a long time, and I welcome it. As to this which 1 now offer you, I think few are proud enough to find fault about it, for I have called you hither to be a Mar­ shal of the klT>«rrtoV> »nd to have the rule over my Guards.** "Marshal!" Tnat tnen was what the mutter in the ante-room had meant. Sebert would not have been young and a soldier if he had not felt keen delight tingle through every nerve. m & Indeed, his pleasure was so great that he dared say little in acknowledgment, lest it betray him into too great cor- dialty toward this stern-young ruler who, though in reality a year younger than he, seemed to have become many years his senior. He said shortly, "If I betray your trust, King Canute, let me have no favor! Is it your inten­ tion to have me make ready now against this incursion of tlie Normans, of which men are " The moment had corns which must, once and forever, decide their future relations. ered that a command to military serv­ ice could be justified only by imminent national destruction, was deeply In­ censed when he learned that the call was to no more than an officership in the new body of Royal Guards, but the young lord checked him with im­ patience. "What a throng of many wordc, my friend Morcard, have you spoken! Did you learn naught from the pali­ sade that gave way because churls paid me their service when and uow they would?" he demanded. "Now let me inform you that I have got that lesson by heart, and hereafter no king shall have that trouble about me. At sunrise I ride back with the messenger." And he maintained this view so firmly that his face was rather stern as he spent the night settling matters of plowing and planting and pasturage with the indignant old ser­ vitor. But the next morning, after he had set forth and found how every mile lengthening behind him lightened the burden of his depression, a kind of Joy rose phoenix-like out of the gray ashes of duty. "If I had continued there, I should have become feeble in mind," he said. "Now, since I have got out of thct tomb that she haunts, it may be that I can follow ^my art more lustily." And suddenly his sternness melted into a great warmth, toward ' the strap­ ping soldier riding beside him, toward the pannier-laden venders swinging along in their tireless dog-trot, even toward the beggar that hobbled out ot the ditch to waylay him. "To live out in the world, where you are pull­ ed into others' lives whether you Will or no, is the best thing to teach people to forget," he said. "Solitude has comfort only for those who have no sorrows, for Sdlitude is. the mother of remembrance." He got genuine enjoyment out of the hour that he was obliged to sit in the ante-room, waiting to be admit­ ted to the King. "Praise to the Saint who has brought me into a life where there are no women!" he told him­ self. "Yes! Oh, yes! Here once more I shall rule my thoughts like a man." When a page finally came to summon him, he followed with buoy­ ant step and so gallant a bearing that more than one turned to look at him as he passed. . "Yonder goes the new Marshal," he heard one say to another, and gave the words a fleeting wonder. The bare stone hall into which the boy ushered him was the same room in which he had had his last audience, and now as then the King sat in the great carved chair by the chimney- ^ things .were so He did not finish his question, for the King raised his hand impatiently. "It is not likely that swords will have any part in that matter, Lord Marshal. There is another task in store for you than to fight Normans-- and it may be that you will think it beneath your rank, for instead of the State, it concerns me and my life, which someone has tried to take. Yet I expect you will see that my death wculd be little gainful to England." A second curt gesture cut short Se- bert's rather embarrassed protest, "Here ate no fine words needed. Listen to the manner in which the deed was committed. Shortly before the end of the winter, it happened that Ulf Jarl saw the cook's scullion pour something into a broth that was intended for me to eat Suspecting evil, he forced the fellow instead to swallow it, and the result was that, that night, the boy died." The Etheiing exclaimed In horror: "My lord! know you whence he got it?" "You prove a good guesser to know that it was not his crime," the King said dryly. "A little while ^go, I found out that he got it from the British woman who is nurse to Elf- giva of Northampton." To this, the new Marshal volun­ teered no answer whatever, but drew his breath in sharply, as though he found himself in deep water; and the King spoke on. "I did not suspect the Lady of Northampton having evil designs toward me, because--because she is more prosperous in every respect while I am alive; and now that belief is proved true, for I am told for cer­ tain that, the day before the British woman gave the boy the liquid, a Danishman gave the British woman an herb to make a drink of." He paused, and his voice became slower and much harder, as though he were curbing his feelings with iron. "Since yod have heard the Norman rumor," he said, "it is likely that you have heard also of the discontent among the Danes, who dislike my judgments; but in case you have not, I will tell you that an abundance of them have betaken themselves to a place in th€ Middles®* fwesV wfcera Uiey iiYe ©In­ laws--and their leader Lodbroksson. "It is unadvisable for me to 'stir up further rebellion among the Danes by accusing them of things which it is not certain they have done, and even though I seized upon these women it would not help; while I cannot let the matter continue, since one thing af­ ter another, worse and worse, would be caused by it. The only man who can end it, while keeping quiet, is the one who has the friendship of the only woman among them to whose honor I would risk my life. I mean Randalic, Frode's daughter." Whether or not he heard Sebert's exclamation, he spoke on as though It had not been uttered. "One thing is, that she knows nothing of a plot; for did she so, she would have warned me had it compelled her to swim the Thames to reach me. But she must be able to tell many tidings that we wish to know, with regard to the use they make of their jewels, and the Danes who visit them, and such matters, which might be got from her without letting her suspect that she is telling news. Now you are the one person who might do this without ipaking any fuss, arid it is my will therefore that you go to her as soon as you can. Your excuse shall be that the Abbott has in his keeping some law-parch­ ments which I have the wish to see, but while you are there, I want you to renew your friendship with her and find out these things for me. By obey­ ing me in this, you will give the State help where it is most needed and hard to get." When that was out, he raised his head and met the Etheling's eyes squarely, and it was plain to each of them that thife moment had come which must, once and forever, decide their future relations. It was a long time that the Lord of Ivarsdale stood there, the pride of his rank, and the prejudice of his blood, Struggling with his new convictions, his iev loyalty. But at last he took his eyes from the King's to bow be­ fore him in nc&le submission. "This is not the way of fighting that I am UBed to, King Canute," he said, "and I will not deny that I had rather you had set me any other task; but neither can I deny that, since you find you have need of my wits rather than of my sword, it is with my wits that it behooves me to serve you. Tell me clearly what is your command, and neither haughtiness nor self-will shall hinder me from fulfilling it." (To be continued.) TO MAKE GOOD COFEE. Here Is the Recipe of Veteran New York Hotel Manager. "The feoffee at any breakfast table," says a veteran 'New York hotel mah- ager, "is one of the most important elements of a satisfactory meal. "Coffee should never be decanted. The pot must be fitted with a cover that lifts off, and not one which swings back. It must also have a cover for the spout. Make your own filter from a piece of not too fine white flannel, sewn into a bag ter­ minating in a point,. which must be long enough to reach half-way down the pot and wide enough to fit snugly over the top. Have your coffee (two- thirds Java, one-third Mocha, or any mixture you prefer) ground as fine as powder, says Good Housekeeping. It will require all your blandishment to get your grocer to do 4his, but the .secret of the excellence of thia. way of making coffee depends upon the fineness with which it is ground. Fill your pot with boiling water to heat it pour it out, fit on the flannel bag, put in a heaping teaspoon for each per­ son, and 'one for the pot,' and pour on one large cup of boiling water for each spoonful of coffee. The water must be absolutely boiling and it must be poured slowly. Let it stand sev­ eral minutes on the back of the range; lift out the bag and send it to the table. I will not say 'have hot milk.' For the perfect coffee you must have thick, sweet, rich cream; put in the sugar, then the cream, fill up the cup from the steaming vessel and you have that 'coffee which makes the politician wise.'" The Old-Fashioned Mother. That old-fashioned mother!--one In all the world--the law of whose life was love; one who was the divinity of our infancy and the sacred pres­ ence in the shrine of our first earthly workshop; one whose heart is far be­ low the frost that gathers so thickly on her brow; one to ~wbom we never grow old, but in the manhood's strength, or the grave council, are children still; one who welcomed us coming, blessed us going, and never forgets us--never. And when, in some chest, some drawer, some closet, some corner, she finds a garment or toy that once was ours, bow does she weep, as she thinks we may be suffer­ ing or sad, says the Pittsburg Press. Does the battle of life drift the wan­ derer to the old homestead at last? Her hand is- upon his shoulder, her dim and faded eyes are kindled with something of "the light of other days" as she gazes upon his brow. "Be of stout heart, my son. No harm can reach you here." But sometimes that armchair is set against the wall; the corner is vacant or another's and they seek the dear old occupant in the graveyard. God grant you never have! Pray God, I never may! Ferret Keeps Mice Away. "The other day," said a Jersey wom­ an, "I was in the basement of a New­ ark department store looking at house- furnishing goods, All at once an odd little beastie, with tawny fur, scurried past me and ran behind the' counter. Or course, I jumped, but the girl clerk- laughed reassuringly and remarked; " 'It's only the ferret.' " 'The ferret! * I exclaimed. 'Does he belong here?' "*He seems to think he does,*'the tflerk answered, 'and I don't know myself how we could get along with­ out him now. At first we girls were scared to death of him, and he was Just as afraid of us. But he's been here so long he's got used to* us, and we've come to think that he's Just about the best friend we could ask down here. " 'You see, he's death to the rats and mice that come from the grocery department, right next us, so without the ferret--well, I don't know how we'd stand it, for we're not allowed to climb on the counters.'"--New York .Sam-,. • - • r\ • % Will Canada in the n«txt quarter of a century take the place of the United "States as the great wheat exporting section of the western hemisphere? EveryUiing points that way. In the opinion of experts the United States has reached high water mark as a wheat exporting country. The in­ creasing population over there has reached the point when home con­ sumption is becoming annually great­ er in proportion than the increase in wheat production. As a matter ci fact wheat production is decreasing Dver there as the, land becomcs more valuable and by reason of the demand Tor other forms of produce for homri consumption. !t is said that the wheat crop this year Is not more than 70 per cent, of the crop of 1901 and much below the crops of 1902 and 1903. It is estimated that this yeai the United States surplus for export will not be over 100,000,000, which is ieBS than any year since 1878 with two exceptions. Not only is this the case, but a considerable quantity of the best Canadian wheat is being im­ ported into Minnesota and also Ohi- AI1 this tends to keep the price of wheat near the dollar mark, and "dol­ lar wheat" is the loadstone that will attract farmers to the Canadian Northwest, where land is cheap and can be farmed on a wholesale basis, particulars of which may be had from any Canadian Government Agent. The reduction of American exports will have the double influence of in­ creasing Canadian production and keeping up the price. It constitutes roseate prospect for this country, needs no exercise of optimistic thusiasm to foresee the near expan- of the Dominion into the actual oositiun of the "granary of the ei WHS." Country Life in America's Christ­ mas Annual is even larger, with more sumptuously printed color pages and illustrations this year than last, and it is certainly one of the most strik ing magazine publications of the month. A leading feature, "Christ mas~ in the Open," by Hamilton Wright Mabie, is illustrated with four frontispieces in color, to show the spirit of Christmas in the north, east, south and west.
