LIQUOR IN SOLDIERS HOMES,

The United States Government few:
years ago adopted the system Of licensing
suffers in the various homes for disabled
soldiers in the country to sell liquor to the.
inmates. It was believed that by furnishing:
good liquors it would prevent the old soldiers
from being poisoned by the vile compounds
they purchased outside at saloons In the
neighborhood. The Woman's Christian,
Temperance Union claims that this systam3
has proved q failure. They say that the
privilege granted has been abused, and that|
hundreds Of old soldiers, able to buy as much
liquors as they choose have been made con-.
firmed drunkards by the system. Mrs. Sarah
A. McClees, Superintendent Of the soldiers
and sailors branch of the Union, has taken;
up the work of having this system abolished.
She is in possession Of mass of testimony
obtained from inmates Of the various homes
which goes to show the truth of the unions
claim. Mrs. McClees has been engaged In.
this work for three years, and hopes In the
end to obtain Congressional investigation;
into the charges which the union makes. q

needlessly? She would see him soon,
aand then all would be well.
+ Jack met her at the station in the
early morning as she emerged, dusty,
with tired eyes. yet flushed and rosy
with excitement. How nice he looked!
So clean. so English, so handsome
among the crowd of black men! His
manner was charming, though perhaps
just tritle nervous, as was natural
after so long parting.
When May retired to rest that night
she murmered'a little prayer of thank
) fulness. She was more fondly, more
idiotically and hopelessly in love than
ever; and Jack was--well, just per-
lection.
r AS the days went on. however. her
Woman'S instinct. that instinct which
never deceives, told her something was
wrong. Jack was certainly restless
and Hurried and absent; he pleaded a
great deal of work; and so shortened
the hours they might have spent to-
gether. Twice, too, she had met him
riding with another woman when he had
told her he was going to bis office. The
spark had fallen on dangerously in
tlammable material; the fire burned
briszly. May was jealous.
Oh, that terrible hour, when she asked
him what it meant, and sat dissolved
in despairing tears, while Jack
walked up and down the room, his
face rigid and hard and pale as
death, ard a sharp line marking itself
between his eyebrows! No bitter words
had ever before passed between them,
and none passed nOw-She loved him too
much-only it seemed to May in those
cruel days as if her lite and her heart
were ebbinp from her
"IIove you so, dear, that | only can
leave you." she said in the words of
Mrs. Browning, that most intense of
amorous poets, and Jack bowed his
head.
What was there to be said? What
could ever patch up the broken sympa-
thy between these two?
May returned by z. & D. steamer to
England, telling her friends that the
climate of India did not agree with her,
fact her languid looks and pale cheeks
fully bore OUT. Jack stayed behind.
Adelaide Ripley could have told a
tale, too. Her life had ceased to be
bed of roses. Wild and bitter reproaches,
cold looks ana cutting words replaced
the loving worship and attention to
which she had grown accustomed; but,
like wise woman she kept her own
counsel, and people wondered how it
was she had secured handsome Jack,
as it seemed, forever.
Six months later he left her without
a word of farewell or explanation, and
accepted an appointment a thousand
miles away. His arms are still stretched
out longingly, and his heart is empty,
and warm and loving, but May has re-
manned dumb.

The imports of specie during the week
amounted to Sl6s,9O7, Of which Sl2s.959
was In gold and S39.942 in silver. The
Post says: The important factors in
the advance for the week were the i'm
proved condition of the money market,
the movement of currency in this direc-
ton and the buying on the part of the
bears to cover short contracts. The
daily reports from the West have been
of bearish character, but the value of
such statements is we'll realized, and
they were without any effect to influ-
enee prices for stocks. The appearance
of the bank statement at 11:45 was
somewhat of disappointment, in that
the increase in the surplus reserve
was only sS72.O5O. which was less than
expected, and during the last fifteen
minutes of business prices sold Off SO

was only 1888. 400, but the deposits were

of S333.65O in the required reserve,

statement does not indicate the actual
condition OF the banks at the close of
the week, which is considerable strong
er than to-day's returns make it appear.
The feeling at the close Of the week
was more bullish than for some time
past. but after the large advance of the

cause no surprise. The total sales of

Mrs. Potter's Stage Hat.

"Do you WISH" said the milliner, ito

tile following: "When the rehearsals

Camille is a nervous woman, fashion,

eccentric. Eccentricity, then, must be
tile dominant trait of the hat. But it
must also partake of the individual
taste-the caprice of the actress. Now,
Mrs. Potter knows very well that one
of her principal charms is her wavy,
fluffy reddish hair, which seems always
on the point of escaping from its pins
and rolling down her shoulders. She
therefore wished to have her hair
show both in front and behind,
Having expressed this desire, she seated
herself before the large mirror and L

model. Then we began to look for

really an embarrassment OF choice,

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 19.-The wheat
market was big one again to-day and
the trade was puzzled to keep track of
the action. The market opened with a
burst OF strength and with July over lie
higher. This was due to somewhat
sensational crop reports, cold and dry
weather reports in Ohio and the North
west and to the large export and mill
ing business at New York after the close
yesterday. The strength was main
tanned on the good inquiry for flour here
and the flood of buying orders from the
East and the country. On the early
bulge there was selling of June by
Hutchinson, but he gathered in all the
July he could. Several houses, includ
ing Dunn, Logan 81 Co., Mitchell,
Smith and others, sold very freely
ON the first advance. Later in
the day buying by Hutchinson
was even more noticeable. The East
continued to buy also. Still more
Cudahy's brokers were active in buying
July. This caused a second strong
bulge, and prices went to the top points
of the day. Liverpool closed I'D up on
stop wheat and California futures. New
York sent reports on ten boat loads
of fresh export business. Wheat and
flour cleared to-day amounted to 10000
bu wheat, and for the week Atlantic
ports cleared about 725, 600 bu in wheat
and flour. May opened at 9Jc, and sold
off to S919c. June was at &c premium
over May. July was the big deal, and

OUTWITTING THE TEACHER
The Exceedingly Cute Trick OF a
Chicago School Girl.

Chicago Herald.
1t requires a pretty smart school
teacher nowadays to get any the best of
a modern "kid." This was never more
fully demonstrated than it was the other
day right here in one Of the Chicago
schools. In some of the schools
the old-fashioned and unnatur-
al method of teaching free
arm writing is employed, and the child
dren are Obliged to twist their hands
over unnaturally in order to obtain the
free-arm movement. In order to insure
this position the teacher places small
shirt button on the back of each little
hand, as piano teachers sometimes place
pennies on the backs of their pupils
hands.
This is done to insure the keeping of
the hand in the correct position, for
if tipped in the least the button slides
off and thus betrayS the erring scholar.
This button arrangement is quite
tiresome to the children, and
they complain of it at home.
The other afternoon bright lit
the girl returned from school and said
to her mother: ''Mother, l kept the
button on my hand nearly all day ~ ~
day." The mother expressed s0r1e sur
prsse at such a feat. YES" said the
little one, II gummed it on with piece
