The circular Of Jacob Wollner says: There
has been a good deal of wool selling in the
last two weeks, principally fall wool and defec-
tive springs. also some Nevadas. There has
also been quite a movement in secured wools
but at low prices In new spring woods very
little has been done so far. Some few lots
of spring from southern foothills have been

clip is not in very good condition, most of the
woods showing a cocklebur. and 1t is rather
dark, owing to the long dry spell in the early
part of the winter. Very few foothills or
northern woods have come in so far.
The price for secured wool has not ad-
vanced and whenever cent per pound or more more
is asked ii stops the sale. In Nevada the early
shearing is nearly finished, and the woods are
in fair condition and are selling at Sq10c.
In the Eastern market, especially in Bos-
ton, there have been large transactions. but at
lower prices than have prevailed since the
early part of 1897. 1t seems the manufacturers
have their way no speculation Is going
on and woods only bought as they are
wanted, and If the seller asks a higher price

is still not very active and at the prices wool

The first years interest had been met
on the 18th day Of August, 1856. and this
day the second payment was due. But
II was not the prospective payment Of the
interest that caused the amused smile on
the bankers lips.
Robert Campbell had for two years or
more been q frequent caller at his resi-
dence, and the banker had noted that q
growing intimacy had been advancing be-
tween the young man and his daughter.
So when Duke had mentioned his name,
and just after Herman Craven had made
his avowal, Uncle Alvin thought not of
the interest money, but of the probability
of another demand soon being made for
his daughters hand.
well, Robert, I am glad to see you, s.
he exclaimed, as the young man came for

"Ah, sir, you have been very kind t.
me; but wish to pay this money tonight;

Here the sound of Attorney Dobbs'
voice was heard in the outer room rs he
approached the door.
''Tell me tonight, Robert, my boy" said
the banker. "Dobbs may be here for an

TRUE KINDNESS.

Rich Man Who Believed In Doing Good
with His Money.
The late Colonel Lee, of BrOOkline
Mass, was a rich man who thought
that the rich should give away money,
instead of consuming their income on
luxuries and an ostentatiOus establish
ment The man who accumulated and
did not distribute was, in his judgment,
not only selfish and foolish. but danger
ous to society. The saying Of the Mas
ter, Freely ye have received, freely
give" SO ruled Colonel Lees life that
for forty years he was never tired of
giving money to those religious, pol,ti-
cal, educational, charitable and com
memorative objects which his judg-
ment approved. He did more; he gave
time, service, himself. at the command
of duty. even jumping social barriers to
respond to its call. A writer in the Bos-
on Transcript tells this story:
Colonel Lee was one day driving
through BroOkline, when his progress
was obstructed by labOrers digging in
the street. Glancing at the men. while
the obstruction was being removed.
the old gentleman noticed one poor feE
low with handkerchief tied about his
hand and evidently in great pain.
Questioning the man, Colonel Lee
learned that a pick had almost perfor-
ated his hand, and beside bleeding pro-
fusely and suffering intense pain he
