DULUTH. Mimi. March 6.-Curb feeling was
steady and firm with few sellers. Opening
prices were 921sc for May, which was the
lowest point of the day. A feeling of firm
ness developed more strongly as buyinQ Or
ders came in. Sales were made at
all points from the opening to 925Sc,
when. some liberal selling orders struck the
market and somewhat checked the urgency
OF situation, and values dropped Off from
9214c to $3.50, but features were of too strong
character to induce much local selling and
moderate buying soon carried prices back to
outside figures, 925sc, the bid. market closing
with sellers at this figure, 921Sc bid Cash

firm, with conspicuous absence of bearish
feeling. Sales, 100000 bu; receipts, $500 bu.

Daniel Webster's Pillow.

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent Webster as present an enor-
NOUS sized pillow to use on his place.
Webster gave out word that on a GER
tain day it would be christened. The
day arrived, and the surrounding
farmers for miles came in to witness
the event. A dozen teams with aris-
tOcratic occupants came from Boston.
1t was expected by every one that
Webster would make great speech
on the occasion, reviewing the history
of farming back to the time when
Cincinnatus abdicated the most mighty
throne in the world to cultivate tur-
nips and cabbages in his Roman gar
den. The pillow was brought out, and
ten yOkes of splendid oxen hitched in
front. More than 200 people stood
around on the tip-toe of expectation.
Soon Webster made his appearance.
He had been calling spirits from the
vastly deep and his gait was somewhat
uncertain. Selling the pillow handles
and spreading his feet, he yelled out to
the driver in his deep bass voice:
care you all ready, Mr.. Wright ?"
"All ready, Mr.. Webster" was the
reply, meaning, of course, for his
speech.
Webster Strengthened himself up by
a mighty effort, and shouted:
"Then let her rip !"
The whole crowd roared with laugh
ter, while Webster with his big pillow
