Greenbacks for Display.
Wealth has suddenly come to the
French River Indians through tho

lands near Lake Nipissing For
many years the late chief OF the Glib

plantations OF the agent that the
piece OF paper each received meant
that a large sum OF money was in the
Quebec bank to their credit, which
could be obtained when required. A
short lecture on banking and the
convenience of the savings depart
ment followed after which the re-
cipients marched solemnly to the
bank and drew the face value of the
checks.
Burdened with wealth, they return

Indian piled his money up on the
table and joyfully regarded the
stacks of greenbacks which spelled
ease and comfort for some time to
come. One Indian insisted on having
bills Of small denomination and was
loaded up with mountain of green
backs. With a grin he staggered in-
to the office, money bullying out of

Pope Thought Best When in Bed
Victor Hugo Wrote Standing.
Alexander Pope, who was the lit
erary pontiff OF his time, thought
best when in bed Whenever a
thought came to him he would jot it
down on scrap of paper. His SER
want often found bedclothes and floor
covered with white bits containing
aphorisms which have now become
hackneyed quotations.
Victor Hugo wrote Les Miser-
ables" standing up, an attitude which
Hawthorne also assumed when he
wrote many Of his romances.
One leg thrown over the arm OF
chair or sitting on the arm of his
secretary's chair were Napoleon's fa-
vorite positions while debating to
Bourrienne, a position which he vari-
ed now and then by patting that
scribe on the head or pulling his
ears.
Sir Walter Scott could while reclin-
ing on lounge dictate to two aman-
uenses, who frequently had to stop
writing. so funny the dictated pas
sages seemed to them,
Balzac, in a monks robe, frequent
ly wrote from midnight till noon,
taking draughts of strong coffee,
when drowsiness attacked him, and
thus shortening his life by many
years no doubt.
William Morris made one of his
famous translations from the Greek
while riding on the steam cars. Walt
Whitman and Horace Traubel, origin
al in all things, were most origin
al in the position they took while
thinking. They were wont, so Mr.
Traubel says. to climb upon pile
of lumber and lie down upon their
backs. In that way each found out
what the others best thoughts were.
