the household of Peter Celian, which
included, besides the head of the
Mouse, his two children, Phoebe and

AS the story of this family is un-

Peter Celian loved his two children
with a great human love and under

Mat fatherly love to Lena, the niece
" his wife, whose mother and ia
&lher were dead.
The failure to spread his love
about and to focus some of it on
Lena resulted in a mental debt

CREDIT LOANSARE
RAISED BY HOUSE
S35, 100000 Now Available as
$5,000,000 ,of Original
Issue Is UnS0Id.

st. Paul-$3O,OO extension of
loans to farmers of Minnesota was
granted by the house of representa-
tives.
The house reached the compromise
figure after arguing about how far the
system of rural credits which was put
in force two years ago should be car
ried. The bill before the house, in
troduced by Representative r. A. Will
kinson and 73 co-authors, provided for
raising the loaning power Of the bu-
reau S40,000,000.
The bureau two years ago was limit
ed to issuing $4O,000,000 in bonds, the
proceeds of their sales to be distrib-
uted to farmers. OF that amount, $685.
100000 has been issued already and
the money loaned. The Wilkinson bill
sought to extend the limitation to $780,
100000.
BY compromising at 100000 600
extension, passage of the Wilkinson
bill by the senate and approval of
Governor Christianson would mean
that total of $35,OO0,OOO would then
be available for loans, since s5,000,0 900
of the original s4O,OO0,O00 is still un-
sold. The vote on the bill was SO to
%.

Curing the Great Thirst

In the old days there was philan-
thropic Tennessee distiller who be-
lieved in spreading sunshine wherever
he could. One Christmas he sent
gift of prime whisky to an improvident
acquaintance who lived from hand to
mouth in cabin up in the hills.
Along toward the end of January the
beneficiary dropped in on him and in
timated that If his friend was so In
clined he could use little more liquor.
Aren't you rather overriding things,
Zach?" inquired the distiller. "If my
memory serves me rightly, it has been
less than five weeks since gave you a
whole keg."
"Well, colonel" explained the mendi,
cant, "you got to remember that
kag of Ticker don't last very long in
family that can't afford to keep q
cow"
