former owners of this mine. the North.

about $65,000, which leaves $780, O0
above the indebtedness. This insures
the payment of all the company owes,

The MiStletOe.

There are some pretty traditions con-
nected with the use of the mistle'oe at
this season of the year that date back to
the ancient celebrations. The ancient
Britons worshiped the god Tutanes, the
god of the sun. OF course the winter
solstice, or the turning point of the sun
in it's course, the change from decreasing
to increasing length of days, was an oc-
casion for rejoicing among that people.
Their customs, practiced by the Druid
priests, were therefore appropriate. They
went out at this season Of the year to
gather the revered mistletoe and it is
significant that they cared for none but
that which grew upon the trunk Of an oak
tree which was sacred to the sun god.
Two white builocks were led out and
tied to the oak tree upon which the plant
was found When the mistletoe had been
detached by the priests the bullocks were
sacrificed. The mistletoe was hung up
above the doors Of the houses to insure
good luck for the year that was about to
begin. In Normandy the plants are still
gathered in great quantities and shipped
to England and America for what pur-
poses we well know. The hanging up
Of the mistietoe seems to reflect some
what the custom Of the Druids and the
Britons Of centuries ago.
The mistletoe grows in England and

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
The Giving of Gifts at Christmas
Should Be Much Simp1ified.

The Giving of Gifts at Christmas
Should Be Much Simp1ifaed.
In the Ladies' Home Journal Edward
Box writes in vigorous depreciation OF
the complicating Of Christmas. 'Much
as we need simplicity in all the phases
Of our living" he contends, "its greatest
need is sometimes felt at Christmas. And
it seems pity that we cannot make be-
ginning there. We could If we would
simplify this question Of presents; if we
would leave out Of our consideration all
bit the natural promptings of our hearts.
II ever material considerations should be
dismissed from our minds and lives It
should be in connection with Christmas.
II ever our friends should see our hearts
our real inner selves-it should be on
Christmas day. Not that we should be
other than our real selves on other days.
But as it is, we are not our actual selves
on the day of all days when we should
be. See how we strive that our present
of this year shall surpass the one we gave
last year! See how instinctively we think
Of the material value Of what we give,
and actually of what we receive! See
how we wrong ourselves by leaving need
full things undone and inviting illness

New York.-Pending the january inter
est and dividend disbursements, money
lately has been working somewhat closer,
the rates this week having been firmly
held at 81 to 6 per cent for both call and
time loans. A higher money market il
always to be expected in December, ow-
ing to tbs necessity on the part of the
banks at all the large financial centers
to accumulate funds in preparation for
the disbursements referred to, and the
present year the demands on this account
are much greater than usual The amount
to be distributed next month in the way
of interest on bonds and dividends on
stock is variously estimated at from
$125, 100000 to $200,00O,000. Business
sentiment continues rather conservative
Prices for all commodities are being well
held. Trade and manufacturing reports
Indicate a slow but steady and healthy
growth in all directions
Chicago-Speculative markets on the
Board of Trade suffered during the week
for lack of business and at the end of
Fridays session prices were not changed
materially from those ruling at the close
of the week preceding. The trade was in
large parteconfined to those handling the
spot commodities, purchases or sales of
the futures to an extent equal to their
spot transactions being a necessary part
of the business as it is now conducted.
Speculation pure and simple disconnect-
ed with the movement from producer to
consumer was perhaps never for the same
length of time so restricted as at pres
ent. Still the current price of wheat
seems sufficient to attract supplies ade-
quate to consumptive requirements.
There would probably be no great alarm
for the future should the rate of farm
ers deliveries diminish to some extent,
as is usual toward the end of the calen-
dar year, seeing that any discrepancy in
the movement from first hands can be !
made good readily from the liberal re-
serve in the visible supply. Scarcity of
contract corn has continued to keep the
price of the nearer deliveries at a pre-
MUM over the more remote, contrary to
regular custom, and although the grade
immediately below the contract is of the
usual shipping quality. Provisions ruled
steady in spite of heavy receipts of hogs,
the consumptive demand, both foreign
and domestic, keeping pace with the man

was obliged to resign his cadetship be-
cause of his physical condition, according
to his father, and he grew steadily worse,
but he would not divulge the names OF
the cadets who committed the fendish
acts, even to the end. Throat consump-
ton resulted and to this his death is at
tributed. The young man could not eat
anything for weeks without the greatest
pain and died in agony.

The ants should object to the
expansion ofthe horse trade. Sem
timent should be aroused to induce
the democrats to have their horses
canned rather than sent to the
Philippines for use in the hunt for
rebels. This expansion is having
its effect in Idaho. And then the
horse cannery at Linton may
have to shut down if this expan-
sion movement is not nipped in the
bud. Already horses which sold
for $3.50 for canning are worth $50
for the cavalry. The purchase Of
one special class has advanced the
price Of all other classes 100 per
cent in a year. Tell it to the
ants.
