never was so plentiful. The west is
particularly fortunate to have this
cash at this time. when loans in the
east are demanding good premiums,
and this condition is largely indicative
of the prosperity of Nebraska agricul-

"The Nebraska farmers are buying
more machinery, building material

They have had several good crops in
succession, and they are all on easy
street The sale of their products

II the government can prevent 1t
there will be no fuel famine in the west
and northwest next winter. Strenuous
measures have been taken by the adj
ministration and the railroads to avert
such disaster, and the subject came up
at q last cabinet meeting before presl-
dent Roosevelt left for Oyster Bay.
The action was precipitated by Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern Pa,
cific railroad, who wrote to Commits
sioner Lane OF the Interstate Commerce
commission, prophesying that such q
famine was strong probability unless
some steps were taken to prevent it.
Mr.. Lane Immediately took up the
matter with Secretaries Taft and Gar
field, urging that coal supplies at depots
Of the government be put in as early as
possible. The matter was considered
by the cabinet and it was decided that
the suggestion should be adopted.

Here is a legend which I heard in

Der shadows on sleeping lagoon:
Ghita Gherardini was tile niece of the
doge. Poets whose names we have for
gotten, but who We're renowned at that
time, had composed innumerable songs
in her honor They praised in them the
tresses Of the young girl, black as night,
in which pearls cleaned like milk
white stars. They also sang about the
radiance Of her dark violet eyes and
about the two roses which formed her
lips. In truth, Ghita Gherardini was
very beautiful. She had, however, lis
tened too earnestly to the passionate
words Of the singers, and an immense
pride took possession of her young soul.
One night she heard beneath her win
dow the yearning sob Of lutte. Stand
ing in a motionless gondola, a lovesick
page was singing to her. Tender was
the music, and the water and the dark
ness added something to the sweetness
of the strains and to the passion in the
voice of the singer. The young page
was clarifying her as the most radiant
among all women,
Ghita heard him, and delightful
remor ran through her. Without wait
Ing to light the torches, which had gone
out; she took her mirror and ran to the
window, through which the moonlight
shone into her room. Thereupon In this
mysterious light she saw that she was
strangely beautiful; that her beauty
was indeed almost supernatural. The
moonlight revealed her pale and trans
parent. like the princess of a poem.
Intoxicated with her charms, she let
the seductive mirror slip from her
hand, and sigh Of admiration and Of
ecstasy escaped her as she cried:
am beautiful! | am beautiful"

A correspondent of a contemporary
who has been searching for the most
monotonous method Of earning living
decides in favor of that of cracking
eggs. Il met man who said he was

and was rather inclined to boast about
the number Of ggs-continental eggs
which his firm bought in the course of

calamity five eggs are broken into a
bowl at time before being added to
the common stock. There are men, he
told me, who do nothing else but crack

THE BAYEUx TAPESTRY.
An Extraordinary Work of Art of
Great Historic Value.

Great Historic Value.
Few besides those who have visited
Bayeux or have especially studied the
traoldinary work Of art is really like
or have any authentic knowledge OF Its
history 1t tells the story Of Edward
Harold and William and Of the con-
quest of William in a series Of pic
lures, SO that It's value is great as a
chronicle as wei as relic Of needle
work 500 years old.
The vicissitudes Of the treasure have
been L1any. 1t is curious fact that
from 1916 until 1924 it seems to have
dropped entirely out of the worlds
knowledge. 1t was preserved with
care among the treasures Of the
Bayeux cathedral and was brought out
for eight days every summer and hung
about the nave of the cathedral. No
one but the peasants ever saw it, and
the cathedral authorities cared for 1t
only as a decoration. In 1924 an old
drawing Of part of the tapestry came
into the hands Of a learned antigua
rian, who tried without success to find
the original. The Pere Montfaucon
also tried to find 1t and ut last succeed
ed and told the world about it In his
great book, Monuments de la Monar-
chic franchise"
The church had no power to protect
such treasure in 1924, and the ancient
length of linen with It's quaint EN-
broidery was dragged out Of the ca.
thedral and used to cover one Of the
military wagons belonging to the local
battalion M. lie Forester rushed to
it's rescue and substituted a canvas to
cover the wagon and brought the tap
estry to his study till he was relieved
from his self appointed mission by a
commission that undertook the protec-
ton Of the work Of art. Now the tap

Tile restless eyes were never turned

She thought Of nothing save her own
triumphant beauty and of the Jewels
which set it off in sumptuous fashion.
One day Ghita Gherardini slipped a
little mirror beside the first page of
her mass book, which had been deli
cately Illuminated by pious artist.
And while her attitude Of devotion edi-
fed the multitude she studied her face
enshrined in the book Of prayer.
The doge's niece had forgotten that
the Creator alone is worthy Of wor-
ship and not any of his creatures. She
had also forgotten that pride is an
abominable sin-aye, perhaps the most
perilous Of all sins-since 1t was the
cause Of the rebellion Of the archan-
gels and the downfall of Lucifer.
One day Ghita Gherardint was in
tently studying her face in the little
mirror between the holy leaves Of her
mass book, and suddenly she uttered a
loud cry Of terror. Through the large
building it rang, drowning the solemn
voice Of the priest, the responses Of the
congregation and the sonorous muir
muir Of the organ. And straightway
the doge's niece fell to the ground In
a faint. She had seen reflected in the
guilty mirror, the sacrilegious mirror,
not her own countenance, but that Of
Death.
There is today in the Church of San
y, to- u
was accomplished, the statue Of wo-
man, who is seated and looking at her
self in mirror. Very beautiful is
this woman, as beautiful as Ghita
Gherardini was formerly. The story
goes that this statue is the work Of a
famous sculptor, but the people be-
lieve-and their legends contain a
good deal of truth-that it was once

body was turned into stone by the ter
rible vision.
