PIE library of congress has

S9iE library of congress has just
~ succeeded in getting possession Of
some most interesting papers Of Rob IT
Morris, who was our first secretary of
the treasury. His official title was su
perintendent of finance, and these docu-
ments comprise nearly 5000 letters writ
ten by him during the period when h.
was managing the pecuniary affairs Of
the young government and subsequently,
the last of them being written in a
debtors prison in Philadelphia, to which
he had been confined because he found
brought about by speculations in land.
! Such papers, left behind by the man
who financed the republic in it's infancy,
afford a deal of curious reading. Mo-
body seems to know what became Of
them during three-quarters of century
after they left his hands. They were on
their way to junk shop when secured,
by a lucky accident, by Gen. J. Meredith
Read of New York city. 1t was one of
those finds" that offer themselves once
in lifetime to the enthusiastic biblio-
phile, and after Reads death his widow
sold them to the National library.
The papers are bound in 16 volumes
Of ledger size. In fact, the writings We're
originally made in these books, the first
three of which are the private and off,
cial diary of Robert Morris from the day
he entered on his duties as superintend-

The Retort Courteous.
Chicago NewS.)

In 1888 General Henry Knox enjoyed
the honor of being the greatest" of elev-
en- distinguished officers of the army,
weighing $50 pounds. Noah Brooks in
his book entitled Henry Knox" says
of him: With captain sergeant he was
selected to present the hard case of the
starving and naked men at Valley Forge
to the attention of committee Of con-
gress.
One of the congressman, wishing to
show his wit and sarcasm, said. that he
had never seen a fatter man than Gen.
eral Knox nor better dressed man than
his associate, Knox managed to keep his
temper and remained silent, but his sub
ordinate retorted:
1.-The corps out Of respect for congress
and themselves, have sent as their rep
resentatives the only man who had an
ounce of superfiuous fish on his body
and the only other who possessed COM

Chaffee's Sternness.

AS indicative of the sternness with

the time Of the greatest excitement says:
when a rich American in Pekin limited
to the general that he would gladly bear
the expense of transporting two magnifi-
cent temple bronzes to New York as a
gift to the Metropolitan Museum of Art
if the general would overlook their re-
moval he roared until his voice fairly
shook the walls of the inner city:

Gerome the Great.
Chicago News.)

The career of Geyome, the famous
French painter, has been one long tri-
umph; early in life he made fame, very
soon riches began to follow; for many
years he has been probably the wealthiest
artist in the world. He is old now, but
none the less he has still the 1.-the, ac-
tive figure of a boy.
He has the artists direct searching
gaze, but the brow and jaw of a soldier
of Kitchener, to speak in the terms of the
day, or of Napoleon, whom he has made
his hero and celebrated over and over
again in picture and statute. He
speaks most often with the terse force OF
a general at critical moment of the
battle and makes violent gestures.
Mr.. 0erome still lives in the palatial
home near Montmartre which he built
twenty years ago.

Who Gets This Great Sum?

We invite your attention to
the figures given in the clipping
below from the Texas Planter.
If n ton Of cotton seed have n
value Of 1924 90 and up, what
should the farmer get for his
seed? Twenty four dollars per
ton is SO cents per bushel. Now
the factories should have some
profits, but are they entitled to
more than onehundred per cent
The price Of seed for the last
crop was not over IA cents
Many did not get over II cents.
Now the mills ought not to
make 200 per cent. The farmer
should get more for his cotton
seed or refuse to sell them. AL
lowing fair margin for rises
and falls and expenses, we say
cotton seed are worth "a cents
to the farmers and should never
sell unless he gets about that.
