One specially high peak of the Andes
affords "a peculiarly fine view Of the sun-
rise, and on two sides of this peak huts
have been built within an hours climb
of the apex in order that travellers hav-
ing scrambled up the mountain side may
rest over night and go at it fresh in the
morning. An American, says the New
York Sun, reached the summit of the
mountain from one of the hats just at
sunrise one morning and found himself
face to face with a stranger who had
toiled up from the hut on the opposite
side.
Both gazed in silence at tine sight be-
low, and hen one said to the other,
There is only one other view that
equals this, in my opinion Just what
| was thinking" said his companion.
What's your other view" That to
be seer at sunrise from Fort Nonsense,
heal Morristown, N. j." said the first.
why, that's mine, too" said the other;
and then, standing together on that
lonely peak, the two compared notes,
and discovered that they We're neighbors
in the little Jersey town.

According to the July report of the
superintendent of the census, the amount
of mortgaged debt Of the farms and homes
of the country is g., 5G5, 200, 600. Based
upon this report the st. Louis Republic
made the following estimates:
II all the real and personal property
of Missouri, all its lands, houses, rail.
roads, cattle, grain, stocks, farms, bonds,
promissory notes, merchandise and other
property of all kinds was sold at auction
for it's total assessed value in 1890 il
much to pay this debt. In taking the
states in alphabetical order in 1890, if
they had been sold for the total assessed
value of all their real and personal prop
erty, the proceeds Of the sales of Ala
bama, Arkansas, California. Colorado.
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida and
Georgia would have been only s 2,545.-
O00. 900; $50, 000, 900 less than the amount
of this mortgage debt imposed upon the
farms and homes Of the country under
the past legislation of the Republican
party. The annual interest on this debt
at 10 per cent. would be $3.50 900 600. If
the state of Alabama had been sold nj
its assessed value in 1890. including all
personal property. there would still have
been a shortage of $50, coo, 900 on the in
terest of this single year, and throwing
IN Idaho al $25, COO. coo and Arizona nj
Eel ,0OO. 200 the total value of the two
states and one territory would have
been still Sl3. 000, 900 short of the years
interest debt. Now nearly all of this
debt is Oh the states of the Mississippi
valley. nearly all of the interest is paid
by the labor of the people of the Missis-
sippi valley, who are AT the same time
bearing the enormous burden q. the Re-

collected into Il book called The Queer
People" which had and still has a large
sale. The animals therein talk and
speculate and moraliZe. Said Mr.. Cox:
After writing for juvenile magazines
several years, | learned that a story to
be successful must have a moral. 1t
wasn't enough to he funny, and | con-
ceivel the idea that while animals were
successful, children could never forget
that my stories about them We're fables.
This feeling interferes with the love
children can nave for the possible"
So he bethought himself of the Brown
les, being very careful to find out ex-
actly what they are. IL took the detini-
ton from the Encyclopaedia Britannica
and hereit is in the front of the Brownie
books said Mr.. Cox. opening one and
quoting from it. Il found they were all
males, d~elighting in harmless pranks
and helpful tasks, and that they never
hold conversations with people. | add
ed. for the sake of more action, that
whatever task they begin they must fin

Another Of his ideas was to put IA
childish face on each figure. Children
study every face separately" says the
author, 'and know them individually
That is a curious point. | have never
used a name for a single Brownie, but
each has been named by his character
and is known individually. There are
the Indian. the dude, Uncle Sam, Dutch
man, Eskimo, Scotchman, lrishman,
Turk, student, policeman, sailor and
many more-thirty III all"
Mr.. Cox gets letters every day from
children who write about the Brownies
and want his autograph. He

pleased they are when they tear open
the envelope and find what they want"
said the kindly man, with a smile. A
twinkle is almost always to be seen i'll
his eyes, which are blue and full of fun.
The wner of the eyes has 40 children,

Brussels carpet and the few pots of

Brownies deserve a pleasant home"
says Mr.. Cox. and they have it, as every
visitor will testify. A glass of wild
flowers is on the bookcase. Several of
the pictures are large engravings of the
Brownies, and hanging here and there
are real Brownie figures made by ad-
