If therís is a single senator who has not "been

Tear ago, when the floor trad<
Minnesota was In Its Infancy, two
Ing speculators—Peter! Muller of
Paul and David Bak-net^f Minneapo!
—waged a perpetual warfare to conti
the market .The two towns being n<
together, thére was frequent coram
cation between the families in each,
and It so happened that a aon of Barnet
fell in lové with and becataie engaged
to « daughter 9Í Muller. The parent*
' of both being, wealthy people' for those
times, lttyas expected yhat each would
make a liberal donation to tlie"yo>|llg
couple Itaniet, whó was a generous
man In every way, led off by announc-
Ing that In- would take bis «on Into
partnership with blm and give blm a
house. Having made this promise, he
waited for w>me Intimation of tAe in-
tention* of Muller. Weeks passed and
no such Intininilon caihc. At last Lena
Muller told Frank Baruet that her. fa-
ther claimed that-in America It was
the custom for the husband to take bis
wife and support her without assist
ance from her father. As Muller came
from Germany, where dowries are al-
ways expected, this argument was very
weak and showed a penurious spirit
Not long after that Muller received a
•business communication from Barnet
stating that he had made a contrail to
deliver 10,000 barrels of flour and of-
fering an astonishingly" htgb price for
the lot. Muller wrote that lie would
furnish the flour, but, as barrels were
scarce, be would not lncludo them In
the contract. To .this Barnet agreed.
It happened that the wedding had.
been arranged to take place a few days

The Texas Coaster, published at Richmond,
asks why should not Texas furnish, a president,

, Texas is now furnishing the cheapest fuel in
the known world and would be supplying 75 per
cent, of the fuel of the world at this time-were it
not for- insufficient transportation facilities,
which will be overcome in a few years. ' . ^ ,
Presumably the Coaster concludes from this
reasoning that Texas is abTé.^tÓ make the'politi-

what depressed. Nevertheless there
was a cunning look In his eye. As booii
as the wedding was over he took
Barnet aside and after insisting
his sampling Bomé very fine whisky
he had Just received from Kentucky
.confessed th&t he was unable to ful-
fill his contract to deliver the flour.
"I know that very well. Muller,"
said Barnet. "I own all the flour In
these parts. You can't buy a barrel of
it anywhere."
"That was very smart of you. Bar-
net. to corner the market. At what
figure will you settle?"
"Oh, give your daughter $10,000 for
a dowry, and we'll call it square." .
'.'All right" And, going to a writing
desk. Muller drew a check for the
amount, taking a release from Barnet.
"Now I think we'll try another glass
of that Kentucky whisky" he said.•
After a liberal supply of the bever-
age the two men rejoined the wedding
party and mingled with the guests.
Just before the bride went up'stairs
to put op a traveling costume M.ulleir
stepped up to her..and.in presence of
the guests, who were flocking around
her, he handed her the check for $10,-J
00Ó.' The news of the gift was soon
known to the assembly and the two
towns, and for once Peter Muller got
credit for being a very liberal man.
The next :day Barnet went to Mul-
ler's office; He was ushered Into the
private roord, where MuIlerHransacted
his most important business. Muller
greeted him pleasantly and asked if
he had not awakened feeling very well
after the .fineWhisky he had drunk.
"There's not a headache in a barré! of
it," be snld warmly.. ,
"It's about barrels I have come to
see you," said Barnet *T understand
that, you luivo n lot of flour barrels.",;
"You're rfulit there. I own nil the
barrels In Minnesota."
Barnet looked grave. . r;..
"You want them for your flour," con-
tinued Muller,. "and you shall have
them. I was offered a good profit for
•them this morning, but I have been
keeping them for you."'
"Yes,." said Burnet; "I want them.
You know that I ha vé contracted to
deliver a large quantity of flour by
the last of this* week, and'1 have no
barrels. What do you want for them?"
"Ach." said Muller. dropping "Into
German, "I will turn them all over to
you at the price I paid for them, only
you give me a eheck for $20,000 in re-
turn for the one I gave Lepa yester-
day, with one day's interest. I,ena
will get all I have/,when I die. Just,
now your boy will have to support her.
America Is a fine country. I like Its
customs very, much."
Barnet smiled grimly. Qoihg to a
desk, he drew a check for $20,000 and
handed it to his rival. ■
"All right. Mr. Muller." he said,
'"'Frank is perfectly able to take care
of your daughter, and I'll engage that,
she shall have all,that she has been
accustomed to have."
"Qood morn lug, Mr. Barnet Come
over with your family to my house to-,
morrow night We, have a few' friends
coming. Besides, ( want- you to try
tome more of that Kentucky whisky.
It is floe, isn't It ?", And he slapped
Barnet on the back.
