Chicago life, we can vouch for the following
as true in every particular. A produce ope-
rator from Watertown, IN. W watching the
signs OF the times and arguing that when
wheat was down to sixty cents and corn
thlrty-five to forty in Chicago, they could
mt get much lower. went to the grain city
aud invested his pile, some S30,0n0, all in
" stub.tal" corn. This corn is last years llli-
sgrowth, and is called " stub.tail' because
about one third OF it is rotten, fit for nothing
but to make rot gut whiskey. He bought it at
a very low figure and had il all put into one
pile IN big warehouse, where it was TO wait
rise u several days elapsed and there was
no inquiry for "stub-tal." He played bill
lizards, rode around the city. and occasionally
took a "nipper" by way of keeping his cour-
age up. At length he was informed that his
corn was heating. He examined the pile and
found it shot as hades." Surprising it was
all up with him he went off on slender"
and for thirty days he did not know stub-tail
from A No. | corn. At length he blowed
out. cooled off. and upon examining his corn
again found that it had cooled of also, and
without damaging it whit He opened his
eyes to the market reports and found his
corn had so risen in price that he found no
difficulty in selling il at good round profit
ofeleyen thousand eight hundred dollars Had

sold it at sacrifice. 81 much for Chicago
spree. M wonder with such luck that the
operators in that fast town should occasional
