GAMBLING IN TULIPS.
A ssrange Popula- Jra.e In Holland I've
centuries Ago.

A Ssrange Popula- Cra.e In Holland I've
centuries Ago.
Toward the middle of the seventeenth
century one Of the strahgost OF popular
follies took possession of the usually posi-
tive and hard headed Dutch. At that Pc
riod Holland had grown from small begin
nings into riches and luxury. With taste
for vivid colors, the merchants of Haarlem
began to center their admiration upon
tulips. Gardens were laid out, now varie-
ties sought, emulation became rife and
mania spread over the people. New forms,
shades or combinations were introduced
into the market, and fortunes were made
and spent On these lowly flowers. Bulbs
reached fabulous prices, and the only simi-
lar craze in moro recent times seems to
have been the sale of the famous peach
blow vase in New York city at the Nor
gan sale. This latter, however, was con-
fined to a few connoisseurs, while the tulip
craze swsy. sn ertire slow going, practical
Dutch community.
Ono bulb of choics variety WAS equiva-
lent to coinrotence for an entire family
whereas In HARLEM living was cheap. In
q contiguous city for one plant was given
q carts of grain, carts Of barley, oxen,
600 mounds of cheese, complete suit OF
fine clothing and silver goblet. Another
bulb was sold for $4,000 forins or about
| $5, 200 Of our money.
Once there was In HARLEM left only two
bulbs of a certain priced variety. For one
was offered and refused the equivalent IL
| our currency of Sl,s40, besides splendid
coach and pair with their trappings. An
other refusal was of - acres OF valuable
land. On the registers of another city to
day can be seen the record of the sale OF IN
tulips for the benefit OF an orphanage
which brought in the amazing sum OIL
our oountry-s36,O0O. The spread OF thi
crazo is a study in psychology. Finally
when gambling In tulips began, whel
brokers bought and sold LONG ant
"short," the government decreed thu
debts contracted should be exncted In tn
usual manner. Soon thereafter prices sud
denly fell, and the mania died a nature
death. Philadelphia Times.

How m Agent For . Real Estate Firm
Tackled Mrs. Ella w. Peattie.
4 One OF the short stories included in
Mrs. Ella.W. Peattie's recent book, "a
Mountain Woman.,' is called "Jim
iLancy's Waterloo" 1t was originally
printed in Harper's and created quite
stir throughout the west because of the
faithfulnass with which it depicted the
hardships of farm life in certain SEQ
tions of Nebraska.
Immediately after the story appeared
Mrs. Peattie received storm of protests
from land agents and real estate dealers,
who swore that she had done the state
of Nebraska irreparable injury. One
immigration company believed it would
be good idea to get another story from
Mrs. Peattie's pen to offset the damag-
ing effects OF the first. 1t sent one Of its
agents to her.
The real estate man explained that
his company owned a large tract of land
which it wanted to place on the market
and wanted toknow whether Mrs. Peat
tie would write pamphlet booming
the enterprise.
"Why, sir, i am afraid you don't un-
derstand the sort of literary work / do, !"
protested the writer. ''I do not write
pamphlets and commercial work for ad-
vertising purposes write nothing but
fiction"
The agent drew closer, cleared his
throat with an apologetic cough and re-
marked confidentidly: "That's it,
mum. That's what we want--fiction.
