No chicory or any adulterant in this choice coffee ^ ' A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS ^ The hero of this story, though no longer pasha of a great city, still Uvea In peace and tranquillity la one of the secluded coast towns of Morocco. The tale of his magnificence In other days Is not lost, nor is the story how he once met the demands of an income overspent. It was as ingenious as It waa dishonest â€" which is saying much. The Tangier correspondent to the Lion- don Times writes: At length the pasha's situation be- came B«rious. The crops of the year before had been poor, and he had drained every possible source of re- venue, legal and illegal, Just and un- just. The Jews would tend no more. The tribesmen of the country round threatened revolt, but every day the expenses of his household increased. It was a matter of pulling through till the hanrest â€" but the harvest was still a couple of months ahead. Two or three thousand pounds would suffice for the most pressing needs â€" the rest might wait: but how to raise even that paJtry, insigniflcant sum? For the whole of one night he pondered, and Id the morning he issued an edict. There was danger, this document â- iated, from the surrounding tribes, whose loyalty to the Sultan was m doubt. The walls were sufl'.clsnt to defend the city, but It was of vital Im- portance that the suburbs should not be raided, as the population was large- ly dependent for its food supplies on the gardens and granaries situated outside. The military forces under his command, though sufficient to pro- tect the tow*r were quite inadequate to venture outside and patrol the sub- urbs, and there was no cavalry. In these circumstances he proposed to rais« a troop of horsemen. The men were to hand but there were no horses, and the edict terminate);^ in inviting every merchant of the town to provide a horse. Now, unlike the .â- Vrab tribesmen of the country districts, the town Moor le no ^ide^. H« climbs now and again on the padded crimson saddle of a fat mule and ambles to his -place of busi- ness or to pay a visit, but a horse is to him an annoying and dangerous quadruped, possessed of only two Ideas: to flght every other horse it ^ meets â€" for in Morocco only stallions are ridden â€" and to throw its rider. Accordingly not a single merchant pos- sessed a horse and determined not to buy one until the absolute necessity arose, on the principle of "wait and see." A few nights later about ten o'clock, when all the inmates of his house were asleep, there was a tremendous knocking at the nail-studded door of the house of one of the principal mer- chants of the city. Hastily donning â- uch garments as were within his reach, and wrapping his bed blanket around him, for the night was cold, the elderly gentleman called out from ^ within and asked what was wanted. "Open, In the name of the pasha!" With a drawing of many bolts and the turning of great kejs the door wa^ "opened by the merchant himself, who tlm sked the reason of this late ,Tl8lt. "We hive called for your horse." replied the master of the pasha's household, who stood without, sur- rounded by half a. dozen particularly evil-looking soldiers. "My horse?" "Yes, the horse you were command- ed to buy. The tribes are in open re- volt, and the horse is required at dawn." "Oh, sir," replied the now affright- ed merchant, "I have been looking for a horse ever since the pasha's edict was published, but in vain. I have searched high and low, but I couldn't And one. I left no hole or corner unex- plored, but all without successâ€" so help me all the saints of Islam, may peace be upon them!" "Then you have no horse?" asked the pasha's representative roughly. "Alas! my lord, to-night I have none â€"to-morrow I will endeavorâ€"" "To-morrow you will have no oppor- tunity. My orders are to arrest and Imprison every merchant who has not got his horse." "Arrest! Imprison!" cried the miser- able blanket-wrapped old gentleman. "Yes, arres't and imprison." "Pity! I beg pity!" he cried, weep- ing copious-ly. "You are a good and worthy man. Soften your heart. Find me some solution to this tragedy." The master of the pasha's household seemed to ponder the matter deeply for a moment and then said, "Indeed I pity you with all my heart, but I must obey my ordersâ€" unlessâ€" " "Unless?" "I am ready to make a sacrifice. My own horse la here. I will sell it to you, and you can hand it over to the pasha." "Oh, thank you. And the price?" '/Three hundred dollars." "Three hundred dollars!" almost shrieked the merchant. "Three hun- dred dollars? Impossible!" "I eee you don't want to buy It." And, calling up his ill-looking soldiers, he ordered them to arrest the unfor- tunate man. "I will pay! 1 will pay!" cried the merchant, and. leaving his blanket in the hands of tlie soldiers, he escaped Indoors, to emerge a few moments later with a bag of coin. "There is more than three hundred dollars there," he said, '"far more, but it does not matter." The master of the pasha's household ordered a man who led a horse by a rope to hand it over to the merchant. In the flickering light of the lamp the miserable Individual found himself face to face with the object he most dreaded in the world, a horse; and what a horse! It appeared in the darkness Immense; its eyes seemed to him to glow with unearthly fire, > and as he unconsciously took hold of the rope it reared and neighed. With a cry of terror the merchant sought re- fuge ihslde his doorway. "Come, come," said the pasha's re- presentative, "you must take the horse," holding out the halter. "Where â€" where can 1 take it?" pite- ously asked the merchant. "I-have no stable." "Your house â€" " "My house! There are only women In my house, and even the courtyard is carpeted. Ever>'one would die of fright; besides, it would certainly kill me long before I got it in." And a fresh flood of tears- staved his words. "Well, take it you must â€" unless â€" " "Unless?" "Unless I take it round to the pasha's stable to-night Instead of to- morrow at dawn." "Oh, my god friend, my savior, take it!" and he pressed more money Into the officer's hand. The cavalcade move<l off, and. cry- ing and shivering, the merchant closed bis door. It was only then that he re- membered that the soldiers had not given him back his blanket. When the merchants of the city met to attend to their business on the fol- lowing day it was evident that they were all suffering from nervous shock. At first they guarded a dl»<y^«t til- , cure. bufA^ngth our frtenif related ! the episode of the previuufi nisht. (Juricusiy^ eogugh, they ha0 all had the same exrertence â€" and, more curt- CU8 still, in every case it had been a ferocious untamable gray horse, with fiery eyeballs, which had screamed anl ,reared, that they had one and all been, obliged tu buy at a wickedly ex- crbitant price for the pt.iUa's cavalry. Tife same day tliS pasiia announced that he bad been able to make peace with the surround^g tribes, and that all danger was over." As be sat in bis garden he ordered one of his slaves to bring him a cefrtain horse from the I stable. A few 'minutes later, with a I bound and a neigh, a vicious-looking . stallion was led before him. He lojk- ! ed at it for a little while and smiled; I then said. "Let that good horee have i a double fead of barley to-night," and, â-  feeling kindly disposed to all the ! world. anJ generous, he ordered his ! workmen to be paid three days' pay â-  cut of the twenty-six that he owed , them; and went into the bouse to ; count th^ dollars. The Coatly Arctic. RoaI4 --^mundstn deserves a better rewar(t than permi 'yion to file a vcluu- tary petition in l;ankruptcy at Chris- tianla. The Norwegians themselves should organize a fiscal rescue expedi- r tton, if none e'lse will undertake it. For the doughty explorer who was first to attain the South Pole has stimulated geographic enterprise throughout the world. His re-searches in magnetism and in trend of oceiin cuirents have ' resulted in valuable contributions to ' knowledge, and he. has put new land on the .Antarctic map which may prove one day to be of great commercial value. Amundsen in bis exploration has had to live by faith like other sailors before and since Columbus. The lat- ter received a few Uundrfi dollars for discovering America. Nansen. Inter- national altruist that he is, has had to write books to finance his journeys. Shackleton was compelled to pass the begging-bowl vigorously to supply the little "Quest" for his final adventure. The first American polar voyager. Kane, of Philadelphia, could not have financed his undertaking without the generous aid of a New Yorker, as Peary, after strenuous lecture tours and much writing, owed his supreme encouragement to another broad-mind- ed citizen. The annals of discovery are filled with the experience of de- termined navigators who sailed to- ward the unknown with incomplete equipment and S'trong faith, and who on their return were mlsM-ably recom- pensed, though others richly profited by their pioneer activity. At this late day it ought not to be necessary to urge prompt aid for the gallant mariner of Norway. The world in his debt should enable him to meet obligations he incurred for the benefit of the race. WffiNF0ODFAn5 Defective Digestion is the Cause and .Misery Follows.

Among the broadening Influences In our lives, one of the most potent ia an acquaintance with those who have lived In other lands and have a range of Intellectual interests and spiritual Inclinations that are new and fresh and stimulating. Those who put a girdle round the earth and have not the powers of sympathy and imagina- tion, enabling them to feel and to see deeply, are traveling in a physical sense, but they might as well remain at home for all the gain they make In the knowledge of the world and in the understanding of their fellowmen. In a little, isolated country men lead narrow, egocentric livevs and boast that their tethered daily round circum- scribes all that is worth while. Oliver Wendell Holmes said of a New Eng- land city that you could not pry the inhabitants loose from their Idea that It was the hub of the solar sy.stem. In Lhasa, capital of Tibet, the belief of each Ignorant, simple soul is that the filthy, smelly town Is the centre of everjthing. The mountain villages of the Andee are filled with folk who scratch for fleas, postpone till "mana- nn" what ought to be done to-day and indulge the chauvinistic pretense that no land Is like their own. no glory comparable witii its glory. But the like conceit persists and rur.5 at large In parts of our own Dominion. Too sufiloient unto ourselves, we inveigh against the alien as unae.^imilable when we ought to be teaching those whom we would find docile enough in most Instances if we cared to teach them. It is a sign of savage ignorance and of imperfect civilization to feel re.sent- nient against another man merely be- cause he comee from a land we never saw and uses a dialect with which we are unfa.:uiliar. It we are meatally hospitable, we shall eagerly welcome the chance to hear wonder tales of strange climes and peoples and ati- ventures with "beasts, men and gods" sucli as are denied to our shut-In lives except through the medium of litera- ture. It argues a purblind, miserable satisfaction with tie groove we move in when we are unwilling to step out of it with an outheld hand of personal greeting to a "foreigner." Those who most want the peace of the world are those who sedulously cultivate all ways and means of In- ternational Intercourse. They do tiielr best to give the desirable stranger to feel at home and at ease among us. Because they seek to es-tabiish a uni- versal friendliness, they are of one mind to discourage the anarchist and his seditious principles^ They would not Inundate Canada with those who would demoraliie and destroy. That kind of foreigner they would repeK but the others are welcome guests, and the desire of every lover of his own land la to make friends cf them for the ad- vantage of the entire comity of civil- ized lands. If the Canadian forests could ren- der an account for" thi' ;i;ewood sup- plied by ith»m in 1922. il would read something like thi«: "The Canadian rublic, to the Fore.st: of Canada: 8,- 8«0,S4G cords of tlrawoud. ?3S.228,702."

Tu produce ihl."! enormcus quantity of HrewQcd required ;;41,7»O,560 cubic tejt of standing timber,, the largest amount $or..:unied by any or our many forest products. To the unthinking person this fire wood output Is but one of the many uses to whicji our timber producing arec.3 are put, and is passed by with the same unonncern as day and nigiit, .says the Natural Resources Intelli- gence Service of the Department of the Interior. If, however, he were travelling from Halifax to Vancouver, and, looking. out of the car window he should see a pile of firewood seven feet high on either aide of the track, with no break through the 3.494 miles he would cover in his trip from coast to coast, he would get a visual demon- stration of the importance of Canada'* annual cut of firewood. Pilled four feet high it would make a wall 12,832 mUes in length, or a wall across Canaida fourteen and oneJialf feet high and four feet thick. Almost all apecies of wood are need for fuel purposes, depending upon the area In which it is cut and the mai^ ket. In Ontario, Quebec and tbe Mari- time Provinces the firewood Is mostly composed of hai^wood. maple, beech and birch predominating. In the Prairie Provinces large quantities of poplar and jackplne are iwed, while in British Columbia, owing to the very large variety of timber available, many species are used. When it is remembered that Cana- da's forests are annually providing over a cord of firewood for every man, woman and child in the country, and that the warmth and comfort of mil- llcns of our people are dependent up- on the continuance of this fuel supply, the value of the forests of Canada will be more fully appreciated. Large areas of Canada, particularly in the central portion, are devoid of other local fuels, and dependence must be placed upon wood or Imported coal. It is therefore the part of wisdom to protect the forests from fire that the enpply of firewood for domestic and power pur- poses may be assured.
