An Authors Idea of Plenty.

The good of money is to get things
you want This is the creed of Harry
Stillwell Edwards, the Georgia novelist.
Mr. Edwards decided to write story
In competition for a $4,000 prize Of
fered by a newspaper for the best Amer
lean story of mystery. Mr.. Edwards was
g. writer of Southern verse, and of dia-
lect stories of that picturesque people
OF the South known as Georgia Crack
ers. He surprised his friends by saying
that his wife had furnished a splendid
plot for the tale of mystery that he
was to offer.
The couple went to work enthusiastic
ally on the story, entitled it Sons and
Fathers" and it won the first prize.
To the question, What will you do with
the money? the Edwardses said not a
word. Weeks passed and the curiosity
of the towns people was still on edge.
Then. one day. an express wagon de-
divered 20 Grated bicycles before the
Edwards piazza.
"Every single relative of mine." said
Mr.. Edwards, has wanted bicycle.
and not one of them would have a poor
wheel There are 20 of u.s. all told, in
the two families, and so when l got a
check for $4,000 1 just sent $4,000 to the
best bicycle firm in the country. and
got 20 500 bicycles. And what's money
for If it isn't to get what you want"

N MISCELLANEOUS
Christmas Tree Trade.

A writer in Country Life in America
retells the story of one Mark Carr,
Jolly. sturdy woodman living among the
foothills of the Catskills, who. about so
years ago originally conceived the idea
of sending Christmas trees to the New
York market. Then the Christmas tree
was a custom mostly celebrated by for
eigners He had heard or read of cele-
brations in the metropolis, when
churches and houses were adorned with
pine, hemlOck and holly. 1t occurred TO
him that the stately young f1r trees,
covering the mountain side about his
modest home, might be made profitable
The chopping and transportation would
comprise the whole cost of the enter
prise and it could be done at season
when he had little else to do. So, early
dn December, 1851, Mark and his boys
drove two OK sleds, loaded with young
trees, through the deep Snow to the
river at Catskill, whence the father
started with them for the city.
One old-fashioned silver dollar secured
a strip of sidewalk on the corner OF
Greenwich and Vesey streets, and there
the long sighted mountaineer set forth
his forest novelties. Customers speedily
appeared, soon buying all his wares at
prices that seemed to him positively ex-
orbitant Highly elated. Mark enjoyed
a few days OF town life and returned
home. but the next year he came again
with a much larger stock, and from that
time to this the business has continued
to increase until now hundreds of thous-
ands of trees are yearly sold from Mark
Carr'S old corner.
