An Authors Long Search and a Sub-
 sequent Surprise.
 When Albion W Tourgee wrote "A Fools Brand" he named one of bis leading characters Theron Pardee. An early copy of the book fell into the hands of the Rev Luther Pardee. an Episcopal clergy man of Chicago. whose father was named Thereon Pardee. The na me is such an unusual cOmbina- tion that in anazement the rector showed the book to his father. and they were both puzzled by the coinci- dence. They decided to write Judge Tourgee and ask him what had led him to use the name He replied. in equal amaZement. that he had not supposed there was such q man living as The ron Pardee Then he stated that he had prolonged search for a suitable name for the character of his story one that would express just what he ina gined this character to be. In the course of the hunt an old copy of the curriculum of Union college had fallen into his hands. It was dated 1925. or something as far back. and among the names of the students was one Thereon Pardpe The. judge said it had i'm pressed him as being one of the rich est. most solid and most satisfying names he ever had heard. so he decid- ed to adopt it for his character. The curriculum was so old that he had no hesitation in using the name. and he was astonished to learn that the right ful owner of it was living His expl't- nation was accepted and the resulting acquaintance was pleasing all around.

TULIP MADNESS.

The Craze That Ragged In Holland In
 the Last Century.
 During the tulip craze in Holland in the last century in one year the sales aggregated iO.OOO.OOO tiorins. Holland went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership in them was divided into shares. Spec ulators sold them short. At one time more tulips were sold than existed. At Lille brewer sold his trade and good will in exchange for bulb. which was thereafter known as the Brewery tu- lip. In Amsterdam father gave one by way of dover with his child. There after the variety was known as the Marriage of My Daughter At Rotter- dam hungry sailor. happening on few. mistook them for onions and ate them. The repast became as ia nous as Cleopatra's pearls and probably ex- ceeded 1t in cost At The Hague a poor fellow managed to raise black tulip. The rumor of that vegetable marvel spread. Presently he was vis- lted by deputati0n from syndicate. For that eve lamb of his the deputa- ton offered 1000 forins. which he re- fused. He was offered 10000 forins. Still he refused Cascades of gold were poured before his resisting eyes. Finally. tormented and tempted. he succumbed There and then the depu- tation trampled that tulip under their feet Afterward it appeared that the syndicate had already grown gem precisely similar and. unable to bear the idea that rival existed. had au- thorized the deputation if needful to offer ten times the amount which 1t paid.
