Great Demand For Money.
In the last few months, the shortage
of money has been noticed and some
banks report the demand is so great
that the banks are taking care of
their regular customers only. There
are various theories for this shortage.
The price of hogs, cattle, corn, wheat,
and oats, which is low, is blamed as

cause he does not need to: merchants
are paying their billssin the east
which withdraws the money from the
west, and there is nothing to replace

or other products have been shipped
This situation, however, was slightly
| relieved in the last two weeks when
farmers sold enough grain to do their
holiday trading. This happens at the
same time every year and week af
ter Christmas the Norfolk banks fee
their balances are being slightly in
creased.

sent to country banks from the Nor

to the question. but 1t Is based on

the sources of timber waste, such as
fires, grazing and careless logging,
nor is the demand comparable with
the consumption for other purposes

Instead of discouragng the custom,
it should be considered consistent and
proper that it be maintained in sup

they could be put which would contri-
butte so much TO the JOY of man as
their use by the children on the great

SHOW YOUR LOVE.

When man chooses from all the
women in the world one woman to be
his companion for life, he solemnly
promises before God and man to love
her with an aIectionate love. And
that love should be rs real and genu-
inc after they have been married
twenty-five or fifty years as it is on the
morning Of the wedding day. We
need not be 50 demonstrativc. We
hardly expect the same outward eX-
pressons of love in an aged couple as
in newly married couple. But the
love should exist just the same less
demonstrative than youth, but real and
genuine, and maniiestiug itself in a
thoughtful courtesy true politeness,
and loving gentleness toward her
who has walked by his side for many
years, and with him borne the burdens
Of life.
You may give your wife costly Christ
mas or birthday or wedding anniver-
sary presents; you may furnish her with
fine dresses, a beautiful home, costly
carriages, and send or take her to
fashionable watering places, but her
heart hungers for something more
even the free, hearty, continued, daily
affection Of your heart. Nothing Use
can take its place. The other things
are valuable only as they are tokens Of
such affection.

A wealthy man, while Intoxicated
one day, attempted to cross an avenue
where a little street-sweeper, to whom
he had often given a coin, was waiting
for hurrying carriage to pass. The
street-sweeper saw the gentleman $
danger and sprang forward and threw
himself against him and pushed him
back; but his own little feet slipped
and he fell directly under the prancing
horses. They picked his poor bruised
body up and carried it to hospital
near by. The man little Andy had
saved was sober now, and wept as he
said, ooh, Andy your life for me
How can bear it?' But the tears the
strong man shed we.e tears of repen-
lance. He never touched the liquor

THE PRICE or SUCCESS.

In the Ladies Home Journal, Ham
ilton w. Mabie says: "The plain fact
is that those who cry out against their
limitations instead of resolutely work
ing through them, are not willing to
pay the price of patience, self-forgetfuIs
ness and resolutc work which must be
paid before we can touch the goals Of
the higher success. The Real is set in
the way of those who think they want
the Ideal, to test the sincerity Of their
devotion and the depth Of their pur-
pose. The higher successes are for
the few, and the happiest thing that
can befall many who think they want
to follow the paths OF art as singers,
painters or writers, is to so discourage
them at the start that they give up
the vain quest before they waste time
and opportunity, Those who have the
true passion in their hearts will go
through storm and fire to their ap-
pointed end; those who have only a de-
sire will stop short and 90 about their
real business. 1t cannot be said too
often that taste for an art. n love ot
it, pleasure in it, and strong feeling
that one is destined to practice it, do
not decide the question; the one thing
that decides it is the possession Of the
indispensable passion and the unmis-
