When Ambassador Choate was lead

ling lawyer had a fling at him. There
was scarcely an attorney who was not
afraid Of him in open court, but else
where an occasional display of cour-
age and rimpudence would be made.
One day in the Lawyers club a bud
ding pundit, now highly successful
practitioner. observing MIR. Choate at
4 neighboring table, asked In a voice
meant for others to hear:
"Ah. counsellor, why was your
luncheon so rudimentary?
Perhaps you can explain" said the
legal light. dryly.

Willow Culture in New York State

Nh'S" SS'tdIC III NC" rOTk SIdtS.
One of the crops that has for some
time been attracting attention to Ly-
ons and Galen is that of the basket
willow. which has grown to consider
able dimensions in these two towns.
The crop has just been marketed and
Clyde and Lyons have the distinction
of being two of the most important
shipping points for this commodity.
In the two towns named it is esti-
mated that there are nearly three hun
dred acres devoted to the culture OF
these willows. An average yield this
year was six tons to the acre, and an
average price of about sl7 per ton was
received for the crop that has been
sold. Syracuse is the market to which
all Of the willows grown in this vi
cinity find their way. When the viii.
lows are stripped Of their bark and
otherwise prepared for manufacturing
purposes they are worth about SIPS
per ton.
It Is said that the first Willows
grown in this part OF the country were
planted by John A. Blackburn in 1862.
Mr. Blackburn came from the South
and gained some knowledge of willow
culture near his former home in Mary.

He has unlimited money to squander,
and is wild to throw it into mine

him in the way of veins and promis-
ing indications and computations.
And, oh, yes, while about it you might
take a peep in FaxOn's mine adjoin-
ing. Make a few golden notes about
that also. After purchasing from me,
the Englishman may as well buy out

Of you and will accept the report
without question. You understand"
Yes. Clint Bayland understood, and
he understood the significance of
small roll which Battlesea's hand
dropped carelessly upon his desk as
he turned and went out. 1t was a first
installment for his reputation. And
Clara FaXon, the most beautiful girl
in twenty miles round was the daugh-
ter of the old man whom Battlesea
would be glad to help.
He walked irritably to the window
of the Office and looked out, not dar-
ing to trust his eyes with a second
glance at the small roll on his desk.
He did need the money, sorely, more
than he would care to have any one
know. And it was only an indication
of what would come. With Battlesea,
who owned more mine and town prop
erty than any ten men in the country,
as his friend, his prosperity would be
assured.
But somehow, the thought of the
prosperity did not give him the pleas
ure that it ought. Oddly enough his
mind went over the snow-clad peaks
to the mother he had left in the East,
and from her to-Clara Faxon. What
would they think?
A smart runabout swung up to the
Office door, and handsome young fell
low of about his own age raised a

He whirled in his chair, to find
Clara FaXon standing before him, her
face a little pale, but her eyes glow

"Oh, Mr. Bayland," she cried i'm

Papa, and Mr.. Battlesea are so angry

place. And ruin, of course, meant los
ing whatever chance he had of win
ming Clara Faxon.
The wrinkles were deep in his fore
head when he entered the Office and
dropped down at his desk, his head
upon his arms. He wanted to think,
to reason the thing out in a sensible,
practical manner, but could not. His
mother kept slipping in between him
and his thoughts, and with her came
Clara Faxon. He knew what his
mothers searching eyes meant, and
he fancied there was something in
the girls straight gaze that looked
out upon life in much the same way.
But she was on the other side of the
black gulf, and he must step across
to reach her. Once there, by her side,
with those eyes as inspiration, he felt
there could be no heights too great,
no plains too broad, for them to COM
pass together.
1t was a long, bitter fight, lasting
through the night and into the gray
dawn of the next day; but in the end
his mother won, and with haggard
face he made the small roll into a
secure package and returned it to
Battlesea by his Office boy, stating it
was something that had been left in
his Office by mistake. Then from his
notes he made out the reports for the
three mines.
One afternoon, a week later, while
writing to the management of min
ing company in another state in re-
