DOLLARS
BY
NINCLAIR LEWIS
zchose nesv character, Cordsvood McGash
Of Jackrabbt, is as real as Babbftt,
and more I0zable

nickname, Cordwood. He bought and leased
forty thousand acres of land before he was
done. When the trees had been - no doubt
disgracefully - slashed down, and he could
not sell the cutover land for even five dollars
an acre, it looked as though Cordwoods for
tune of 100000 would 60 in taxes.
Then they dug up iron.
His poor domain of sand and brushwood
was discovered to be as rich in surface iron
ore, to be mined with scoopshovel and railroad
car, as the Mesaba Range itself, and every
inch of the deposit near Jackrabbit was on
Cordwood's land alone. The steel companies
bought him out, handsomely.
So it happened that at the age of fifty-five
bachelor because he had always loved all the
ladies too generously to pick on any one of
them, this little man with the hard hands of a
workman, this cheerful dancer in saloons, this
busy speculator to whom business was not
money but game. found himself with
$1,000, 600 to his credit, no job any longer,
and no notion whatever as to how he could
use all that incalculable pile. And it found him
the one rich man in Jackrabbit Creek, with its
twelve hundred inhabitants of whom no man
aside from Cordwood McGash could afford
two simultaneous pairs of suspenders. 1t found
him millionaire sitting tilted back in a cane
seated chair in front of the Sunset Trail Hotel,
piping to Nanny Ilgenfritz, the grocer, "Say,
devertellyuh about the time was prospectin'
in Colorado -"
For years, Cordwood had roomed with the
Widow Tinkerbun, and he didn't see how he
could hurt her feelings by leaving her, now
that he was suddenly rich.
Sister Tinkerbun had no suites in her board

ing house. Neither did the Sunset Trail Hotel,
for that matter, nor the National House,
where the tin-can tourists stayed.) So Cord
wood solemnly engaged the row of six uncon-
nected bedrooms - all exactly alike and
equally uncomfortable - on both sides of the
upper hall, and by sitting and smoking in
them in turn, he felt that he was doing his
duty by his wealth. He also brought home to
Sister Tinkerbun and the boarding house
table such delicacies as caviar, especially i'm
ported from Minneapolis, ten pounds of
peanut brittle, and an enormous tub of
mackerel, very spoiled.
He bought, from Cohen and Cabot, five
suits of ready-made clothes, in checks, plaids,
and orange stripes, with six pairs of shoes and
seventeen neckties. 1t is true that he went
on wearing the familiar Tapping grey over
sized suit in which Jackrabbit had known him
for five years and the same comfortable old
shoes and Stetson, but he did once in while
venture on the reddest of his new ties.
Yet even with such Fifth Avenue display,
he did not feel that he was getting his moneys
worth.
Seven million dollars to spend. That,
brooded the once-happy speculator, was a
task.
he gave every child IN town bag OF candy.
Mostly, they got sick, and for days he was
unpopular with every one in town except the
doctor.
He built vast, $5OO,OOO Community Hall,
and was atrociously bored by having to sit on
the platform at the dedication ceremonies and
listen to the local congressman and three
varieties of bishops.
He sent the local music genius, Les Doggins,
Evening star., 1935-02-24
SEVEN MILLION

to Paris, to study the violin. And Les really
was genius, Jackrabbit Creek was certain,
because while most musicians can play only
one or two instruments, Les was master of the
fiddle, the piano, the parlor organ, the mouth
organ, the saxophone, the cornet, the banjo
linitar, and the shared drum, and he could
even, during idle moments between giving
shaves and haircuts at Obey Tengbom's Elite
Barber Shop make very interesting melody
on comb. But even out of this fight into the
higher arts Cordwood got little satisfaction,
because for months he received no word from
Les except picture postcards usually de-
picting the Eiffel Tower.
Not but that Cordwood had plenty of
generous advice about spending his seven
million. From the Twin Cities and even from
Chicago, by train, motor, and plane, came
genial gentlemen who loved to give away
cigars and who were willing to let Cordwood
in on annuities, Brazilian gold mines, Long
Island real estate, and i latest and most
refined and intellectual racket of all - Little
Magazines which were going to revolutionize
both Capitalism and Poetry. But to these mis-
sionaries of good will Cordwood was curt,
with snarling c,rtness which surprised the
friendly citizenry of Jackrabbit Creek. They
who remembered him listening to an impov-
erished farmer and paying up his mortgage
were astonished to see him, armed with an
ice-water pitcher from the Sunset Trail Hotel
lobby, chase New York bond-salesman from
Main Street clear out to the Mile Bridge.
These alien experts did not understand
Cordwood. They told him how to make
money. And what he wanted to do was to get
rid of his money - and to get some fun out of
doing it. And to get rid, painlessly, of 81, ,0OO-

He thought of travel and probably if he
had had an energetic wife, he would have
gone out to view the Tai Mahal, and the lark,
oyster, and kidney pie at the Cheshire Cheese.
But he had been credibly informed that in
New York you had to bathe every day, which
certainly meant pneumonia; that in London
you met nothing but lords, who addressed
you, "Hy sye old chappie;" and that in Paris
they spoke funny language and danced in
the street.
One satisfactory thing he did do. He bought
the Sunset Trail Hotel, so that he would not
feel guilty of loafing about it all day long in
this time of depressing freedom, when it was

LONDON, January 10.-The loss of
at least 20 lives was attributed today
to severe assault of Winter, general
over much of Europe.
Fifteen of the victims were drowned
when the 336-ton fishing trawler,
Edgar Wallace, foundered almost
within sight of its home port, Hull,
England
Only three of the Edgar Wallace's
crew of 18 were saved.
Shipping in many parts of Europe
was in distress. Five men were
drowned near Belgrade when small
boat sank in the ice-jammed Danube
River A hurricane placed vessels on
the Black Sea in peril.
Communications we're interrupted in
some sections, particularly Yugoslavia.
For America the weather had its
bright side. Andrew Cairns, secretary
of the International Wheat Confer
ence, said a continuation of the low
temperatures would affect European
wheat adversely, bringing an increased
demand for importations from over

ELLSWORTH DROPS
PLANS FOR YEAR
Defeated by Weather in At
tempting Trans Antarctic
Flight.

ieader' Ellsworth rHthspaditfon rEtnsAn'aF''i' Flight
~ wireless to The Star
SNOW HILL ISLAND, Weddell Sea,
Antarctica, January 10 IN. A. N. Az.
Frankly, I feel bitterly disappointed
at being unable to accomplish the
transantarctic flight this year. Only
the weather is to blame.
We did our best and that Is some
satisfaction, for I am a believer in
the old axiom that it Is better to have
tried and failed than never to try
at all. There are some men who are
born to champion the lost causes and
I am one, perhaps, for I shall not
give up.
But for this year the time has
passed for a transantarctic flight, so
We shall put the Polar Star on board
the Wyatt carp as soon as weather
permits.
Various Accomplishments.
Still, the effort has not been in
vain, for we had our flight over the
unknown, many features have been
added to the maps and, besides, we
bring back valuable collection of
fossils from regions thought to pos
sess only snow and ice.
But of even more value, perhaps,
will be the memory of the great, ST.
lent, purple-tinted, icebound world
over which we flew, where in touch
with the vastness of the unknown, it
is not difficult to sense the magnitude
of the universe and the nearness of
its Creator.
Then, too, there are the lessons
garnered cheaply for the price paid,
for nowhere else does one learn the
value Of friendship as in these desc
late wastes. Perhaps it is because of
this that men come back to them
again and again.
Lesson of Patience.
Then, last but not least, is the les
son of patience, not the patience
born of hours only, but that of days.
weeks and even years. I am forcibly
impressed regarding this as gaze
down upon Nordenskiold' little hut
below the cliffs during my fossil
excursions around Snow Hill Island,
for, have some conception of what
it must mean to be locked up in
these regions for two Winters with
temperatures often below minus so
and recorded winds with velocity
of 90 miles an hour. Even after
suffering these, NordenSkiold had to
make q mad rush for the rescue ship
before the ice closed upon him for a
third season. His own ship was
crushed by the ice.
Perhaps I should be satisfied, for I
have experienced great adventure
during my life-yet:
who has known heights and depths
Shall not again
Know peace
Not as the calm heart
Knows
Low ivied walls; a garden close,
The old enchantment of a rose,
And though he tread the humble
Ways Of men,
He shall not speak the common
tongue again
Who has trodden stars seeks
Peace no more"
