hope that the walk has not tired you
too much"
When they got to the door of the
fox's house, he said: "Come right in
and sit down, for I know that you
must be tired, and perhaps a bite of
something to xeat will refresh you a
little" The fox was thinking of the
meal Of green vegetables which the
rabbit had set out for him, and he was
almost inclined to offer the rabbit
nothing to eat but the meat of a fat
turkey, which had been missing for
some days from a neighboring roost
But" said the fox to himself, that
would be an unkind thing to do to
the rabbit since he has been i'll, and
suppose he forgot the other day
that foxes do not eat green vegeta-
bIes."
So instead OF the turkey he brought
out some green pea pods, which he
had gathered the day before, and the
rabbit thought ne had never tasted
anything more delicious.
'"They are the finest ever ate,' he
said to the fox, as he finished the last
of them, "and it was exceedingly kind
of you to be so thoughtful"
They sat and gossiped the news of
the wood for an hour or so before
Jack Rabbit, rising said: well, l
think that it is about time was go
ing, for the walk home is pretty long
one and have to go rather slowly.
shall have plenty of time to think
over whatever bit of wisdom you have
to give me on my way home, although
] may not be so fortunate as to see
any application of the lesson"
Il would not overdo," said the fox,
"and you had perhaps better take two
or three days to apply the lesson am
about to tell you. There are great
many men and great many animals
who are never happy, and, for the
most part, they are themselves to
blame, for they have not learned the
lesson that contentment with what
we have is the greatest source Of hap
piness."
That, then, is the lesson I am tc
apply" said the rabbit. well, / will
see how well can do it," and saying
good-by to the fox Jack Rabbit start
ed for home.
All the way home he did not see a
thing which furnished any sort Of ar
application of the wisdom that the fS1
had told him, but the next morninr
he was awakened by the sound o.
voices outside his burrow, and peek
ing out of the hole, he saw a small
boy holding in his hand cap which
was worn and frayed, and he was
saying to himself: 81 won't wear
that old cap any longer. My father
has got to buy me new one, and tc
make sure that he does am going tC
throw this one away" and, drawing
back his arm, he flung 1t as far as hC
could toward some bushes, where II
landed in a hollow of the ground, vel
covered by thickly leaVed branch o.
small tree.
What an unhappy boy" said the
rabbit. ''and all because he is discOn
tented with what may be the best that
his father can afford"
a few hours after Jack Rabbit
thought he would so over to where

PRICE OF WHEAT SCARS.
Call of Europe for Bread Sends Cost
OF Grain to Highest Point.

| Chicago, Jan. 4.--EurOpe's need of
bread resulted today in spectacular
buying of wheat and caused new war
prices here. 1t was pointed ou.,
however. that the highest quotation
today, $1.S4 "a, for May delivery was
still roundly SO cents a bushel under
the price forced here in 1898 by
Joseph Letter, during period of
worldwide pes.ce-$1.S5.
The upturn apparently had little,
II any. effect on farmers. Country
offerings were decidedly meagre, as
they have been for some time.
Although the prime impetus for
nigh prices today came from seeming.
ly unlimited export demand, there
was no doubt that the public bought
wheat heavily. especially in the first
hour Of the session. Millers, too, were
said to be anxious buyers, fearing
that the tremendous export call would
leave them short Of supplies. Rough
ly The total sales to Europe TODAY in
the United States were estimated at
100000 bushels. OF this, 10000
bushels was known to be for the re-
lief Of the Belgians.
Experienced observers failed to no.
tice any unusual excitement on the
exchange. The one striking fact was
the steady absorption of every bushel
Of wheat offered.
Talk among brokers centred almost
wholly on the idea that for the pres
ent the United States was virtually
the only big exporting nation. No
body seemed to look for an immedi-
ate opening Of the Dardanelles, and
1t seemed to be taken as a certainty
with prohibitive vessel rates Argentina
would be unable to take care even
OF contracts already made, especially
with Italy. where embarrassment will
be serious il large amounts expected
prior to March / from Argentina are
not received as bargained for.

Begin the New Year Right.

This newspaper, like all others in
the South, has been filled each week
for months with news and comment
on the disastrous effect the war in
Europe has had upon the finances Of
the farmers and merchants Of the
cotton States, but we have not made
personal application Of the hard
luck stories. 1t is, nevertheless, a
fact that the financial strirgency
prevalent these past few months has
hit the newspapers harder than any
other class Of business-harder even
than the farmers or the merchants.
Everything that is used in the pro-
duction Of a newspaper has advanced
in price as a result Of the war and the
cost Of issuing the newspaper is
greater now than ever before. This
Is bad enough. but what is worse is
the falling off in income from adver-
tising and the almost complete fail
ure Of the income from subscriptions.
In October we sent out approximately
two thousand bills for subscriptions to
regular subscribers. the total amount
aggregating several thousand dollars.
The response was and continues to be
disappOinting-very few of those in
debted to us for subscription having
remitted or called at the office to set
tie their accounts. The amount that
each subscriber owes us is small, but
the total Is large and we need the
money to run our business. We are
not Understanding the scarcity of
money in the country but we feel sure
that large majority Of our subscrib-
ers could. without serious inconven-
fence, pay us the small amounts they
owe for subscription. If they will
look at the matter from a business
like point Of view they will see that
while the subscription bill is a small
matter to them, the total Of all the
subscriptions, is a large matter to us
We could very we'll afford to wait until
next fall for $3.50, but we cannot af-
ford to wait until next fall for eight.
cen hundred times $3.50. Do you sec
the point?
| We ask each subscriber to examine
the label on his or her paper, which
shows the date Of the expiration OF
the subscription, and ascertain the
amount due by check or money or.
der. or call at this office at an early
date, pay the amount and receive 6
receipt.
