Money in Corn and Wheat.

Mr.. Ernest T. Wes brook, OF Omaha,
Neb., is in the city, registered at the
Charleston Hotel: "Our wheat crop
this year is the largest in the history
Of the State and the farmers are hap
py," said Mr.. Westbrook in speaking
toa reporter for the News and Cou-
rier. "For the first time the wheat
crop is more valuable than the corn
crop. Nebraska this season produced
thirty million dpllars worth Of wheat
(ifty million bushels) and twenty-five
million dollars worth of corn. Think
OF the farmers in one State reaping
seventy-fivc million dollars at one har-
vest. Working the soil for living
is not so bad according to these fig
ures."
Mr.. Westbrook is also interested in
>the Texas oil boom. Goa my way
down here" he said, .sI passed
through some of the richest districts.
The Beaumont boom is still exciting
the people Of the Lone Star State, as
well as the entire South. Oil has be-
gun to come into general use out there
for fuel. The daily shipment by rail
from Beaumont now amounts to 10
cars. The exports by water are rapid
ly increasing. The producers COM
plain bitterly Of. the scarcity Of cars.
Nearly all the oil territory has been
gobbled up and there seems little
chance for anybody going now. A
great deal Of worthless stock is being
offered and the good stock is not to be
had at any reasonable price ''-Ne,os

g ;oEe Sseasion Wien. Kaiser Wilhelm
Lost His Self Possession.

Ore nScasion tvEen Kaiser Wilhelm
Lost His Self posssssion.
Kaiser Wilhelm, always a self
possessed character, was even as a
lad equal to almost any emergency,
but there was one time in his life
Rhen his aplomb failed him COM
pletely, and that was when he was
received in o private audience by
Leo XIII. Strange to say, the self
possessed young emperor felt com
pletely overawed by the presence of
the holy father and his encourage.
A gentleman who was present and
witnessed the whole scene said that
q student coming before row Of
examiners or a culprit appearing
before q court could not have look
ed more frightened than did the
emperor when he stood between the
folding doors Of the audience hall
as they opened before him.
As he caught sight of the Pope
in white garments, stiff, immobilc,
almost unearthly, surrounded by
half a dozen cardinals in red robes,
who were looking at him curicnsly.
his half powerless right hand, il
which he held his present ior the
pope, gold snrabox, with his own
portrait frame in rubies, shook
so violently that he dropped the
treasure. The monsignore who was
nearest, in STOPPING to pick it up,
bumped his head against that of the
emperor, who was similarly engaged,
and the shock SO unneryed his
majesty that he quite forgot the he'll
met which he held in his left hand
and which fell to the ground in its
turn.
At last everything was put
straight. His holiness was still
quietly smiling his everyday smile,
and William advanced few steps
to deliver, his little speech, which
he did with a sulky voice. He look
ed as furious as if he just suffered
from the ewkwardness of somebody
else, and they say that "a hours
afterward his brow remained as
closely knitted as those Of bear
Modern Society.

in the city said, 81 wish we'd

sponded, "Wait; I'll get you one"
AS it was late in the evening all tie
shops were closed. A moment later

ion into brilliantly Lighted cafe
and walked briskly up to the bar.

The man turned opened locker,
pulled forth a half dozen umbrellas,

."Could you do that in every sa-
loon.?" the stranger inquired timid-
ly when the two were once more in
the street.
,'.I could, but you couldn't" the
native declared. "You couldn't say

Why Napoleon Failed.

! Arecent book, written by an emf.
nent English statesman, Lord Rose.
berry, upon Napoleon the Great, is
profoundly interesting in its sympa-
thetic, and yet judicial, estimate Of
the most marvellous of modern con-
querors. Napolean appears, to this
latest biographer, so great in his
energy, his intellect, his genius, that
he "enlarges the scope Of human
achievement. He "fought.t the Aus
trians once for FIVE consecutive days;
without taking of his boots or closing
his eyes; he would work for eigh-
teen hours at stretch; "h;s genius
was as unfailing and supreme in the
art OF craftsmanship as in the art of
war, and he was as much the first ruler
as the first captain in the world"
Ordinary measures do nc. sTr!!y; &c
him; wo seem to be trying to span
mountain with a tape" The conclu-
sion arrived at is that Napoleon was
the largest personal force that has
ever come into the modern European
world.
Why, then, did his career end in de-
feat and exile? Napoleon own say
ing IS revelation on this point. II
am not man like otner men." he as
serted; "thc laws Of mortality could
not be intended to apply to me-" He
believed that religion was essential to
the nation he ruled, but not to him
self. He was not antagonostic to it;
he patronized it rather. But for a
man as consciously great as he to obey
the Ten Commandments when they
ran counter to his own views, appear
ed to him absurd. Humility was in
his eyes no virtue, but an entire mis-
take.
Yet humility alone could have saw
ed him. The dangerous, the fatal
element in Napoleon's nature was
ambition. In youth, The was pheuo-
menally sane and well-balauced. But
his little knowledge Of his own pow
ers unbalanced him; nothing seemed
impossible; nothing seemed as impor-
tant as his own destiny; "the intellect
and energy were still there, but as in'
caricature; they became monstrosi-
ties" Then came the inevitable col
lapse Of insane and impossible ambi-
tions; and at forty-six, the man who
had dreamed Of governing a world be-
came captive exile. His conquests
left no mark; the kings ho made lost
their thrones; France was beggared
and exhausted by him; and tie great
est gifts ever bestowed upon q human
soul since the days Caesar thus failed
to help forward the world.
Ii any one was ever great enough to
do without goodness, Napoleon was
the man. The result of his expert
ment ought to be enough to satisfy
anybody. There is no need for small
er men to'repeat the test; it stands as
fnality. Plain, simple goodness is
the necessity Of great souls as well:as
lesser ones; duty is the supreme law,
God, the almighty ruler. Napoleon
failed not because ne was not great
enough, but because he was not good
enough. "Not b. might, nor by power,
but my spirit, saith the Lord Of
hosts" That truth stands;..and we
may stand or fall by it, as we choose.

AMERICAN CEMENT.
my Ernest n. AcI<erman, President
Lawrence Cement Company

The manufacture of Portland cement
in this country has increased enormously
during Mr.. McKinley's administration.
1t was one of the industries in which he
took a special interest, and in his closing
remarks upon the Mckinley bill he de-
voted a considerable portion of his time
to an exposition of the industry.
In 1897 there was produced in the
United States 2,617 900 barrels of Port
land cement, while this year the produc-
tion will exceed ten millions of barrels.
Formerly, imported cement was used
in the foundations and in the construc-
tion of all important public buildings.
However. as we are now supplying the
Dragon Portland cement for the new
custom house, Stock Exchange, Cham
ber of Commerce and the East River
Bridge it may be safely assumed that
American Portland cement has gained
a foothold with engineers and architects
that the foreign can never displace.
