RECTOR ROBERTS, of the U. S. Mint, has just
returned from trip through the middle West He
IL said of what he observed: Money is plentiful and
the West to have all of its share. In fact,
there much money that Nebraska banks for instance,
competing for commercial paper Chicago with interest
at low do think this has occurred before.
Heretofore, the Western banks have had much
money and have had borrow from Chicago and the East
Money is going from the West the East and this
renders the money market in the East easy Therefore,
American money going Europe where interest higher.
There is not much talk of politics in the West The general
understanding is that President Mckinley and Mr. Bryan will
be renominated. Mr. Mckinley will carry Western
States than he did three years ago, and will obtain much
larger majority in Iowa than before Many Democrats who
voted for Bryan told that they satisfied with the
situation and would for the reelection of Mckinley"

old Fancy, and as he rowed home in hist
high-prowed, green skiff, flash of inspira
ton came to him. He would build a vik-
ing boat and take it to Chicago-the idea
was all his own for he had not heard Of
that other ship which was to come from
Norway.
When he had tied the painter to the pier
he ran to the house to tell his wife what he
had heard. She was seated by the window
knitting coarse gray SOCK The living
room was so clean that it reeked with the
odor of yellow soap and whitewash. Take
off your shoes - the old woman screamed
as her husband came in, his boot soles leav-
ing their print on the white floor.
He went out and returned in his stock
ing feet "Everina," he said "have you
heard OF the great fair in the South-in
Chicago?"
81 read something about it in our paper"
she grunted-they took the Scandinavian
Gazette, for they spoke little English and
read none. "But what is that to you, old
fool"
The old man moved about the room in
his excitement his faded brown eyes were
bright and his wrinkled cheek showed a
touch of color. 81 am going to build
beautiful boat" he cried, "a viking boat,
and am going to take it to the fair. There
l can sell it for much money" he added
cunningly, knowing that the hope OF money
would interest his wife-for himself the
Joy of planning and building would be
enough.
"Y0u are dreamer" she retorted scorn-
fully. "You will build wonder boat
you are always building boats that fall to
pieces or rot on shore "
For moment Peter was abashed. 1t
was true that heretofore there had always
been grave defects in his boats that made
them safe only in smooth weather, but he
was ever dreaming of the perfect boat that
could ride out any storm. He had not been
born builder-he had picked it up after
he was grown, but he came from family
who had been shipwrights as far back as
their annals ran. In a minute he was
cheerful again. 81 will build a wonder
boat" he said stoutly 81 will make
viking galley, for | remember we'll the
model that used to be in my grandfather's
house at Aardal. He has told me that it
was very old and was exactly like the long
ships of the sea kngs-and my grandfather
was a wise man and builder of stanch
