HOLD YOUR WHEAT.
A Wheat Raiser's View of the Situation
A Heavy Shortage and Better Prices
in a Few Months The Supply.

Chas. L. Hyde, of Pierre, s. d.. has
issued a circular to the press for the
benefit OF farmers In which he reviews
the wheat situation and calls upon
farmers to hold back their grain for a
few months n they will receive a great
increase OF price. He says every u
try in Europe has a short crop except
Russia. Our own crop he claims to be
100000 900 bushels below last year and
twice that amount under the year 1891
crop. The stringency OF the money
market the past SIX months has kept
the price down. The exports this fall,
since last harvest, have been large,
amounting to 80,O00,O0O bushels. He
thinks it doubtful if there will be enough
wheat January /, 1894, in the United
States to meet the usual requirements
until another harvest. The low price of
wheat has caused a small average of
winter wheat to be sown this fall. Each
day the world 100000 BUSH
els OF wheat, and if farmers only hold
their wheat a few months longer they
will reap a share of the profits which
will come from a largely increased price.
He himself has two crops on hand and
proposes to hold to it still.
In connection with this statement of
Mr.. Hyde, it will be a matter OF interest
to give a statement from the North
western Miller of November q, which
says:
The stock of wheat in private eleva-
tors Of Minneapolis is $4,000 bushels,
an increase over last Monday of 1l5,0OO
bushels. This makes the total stock of
Minneapolis and Duluth 115, 49, 65
bushels, a gain for the week OF 1,470,377
bushels. A year ago the stock Of these
two points was 13,688,524 bushels. The
Market Record estimates the stock in
country elevators of Minnesota and the
two Dakotas at 3,675,OOO bushels, an in,
crease for the week OF $4,000 bushels.
The aggregate stock Of the northwest
is thus made 1878, 765 bushels, or q.
55O,317 bushels more than q week 70.

At the Bureau of Information.

Some odd requests are made at the
postotfice bureau Of information in
New York Recently German as
sailed the clerk with this query: Il
wrote letter to my wife in Seabright
a week ago, and don't get a letter
from her yet. Can you tell me why
she don't answer" The clerk couldn't
tell him. One afternoon in winter,
when it was already dark, man who
was very much intoxicated thrust a
lot of papers at the clerk and asked
him to find out the owners name and
address from them. Tell me where [
live and who am, "he said. When told
he wanted the clerk to take him
home, and the obliging official had
him put on a street car. A country
man took the clerk Of the bureau of

this style not long ago: Il want to
marry lady who is at the hotel with
me. Can you tell me where l can
find a good minister" what de-
nominations" asked the clerk. "Bap-
fist or Methodist, | don't care which. p"
When the clerk directed him to a
CLERGYMAN not far from his hotel, the

with his bride one day and wanted

Truly Honorable.

The truly honorable man tries to
remain ignorant of things that
concern him not. He turns aside
from the confidential gossip, glances
away from the open desk, shuns the
place where whisper is audible,
with just as much care as he would
use to avoid profiting by mistake
in his change. His curiosity does
not crave the knowledge of sdch mat
ters. 1t has the whole wide world
for it's area, and seeks its satisfaction
in more who. esome directions. After
ALL the information to which We
have no rights is the smallest and
poorest and least valuable to US Of

tivate a rthy curiosity on subjects
that shall enlarge our minds, deepen
our feelings, and strengthen our pur-
poses. and we shall shrink from that
ignoble inquisitiveness that revels in
dishonest gain.

Latest Portrait of the One Living Embodi-
ment of the Idea of Royalty.
Her Majesty the Queen of England
and Empress of India stands in this
irreverent and practical close of the
century to the world at large as the
one living embodiment of the idea of
royalty. Other monarchs may seem
august to their own subjects, but to
the world generally they are merely
figures set up at the head of the gov
eminent, to be abolished as soon as
some more convenient system may
be arranged. The sentiment which
surrounds the Queen is based on the
real power which she has always
shown. She has never surprised or
puzzled her people, still less has she
ever disappointed them. The feel
ing has grown steadily through all
her reign. She was Queen when most
of the people now on earth were
born, and never for a moment has
she ceased to be the Queen. To the

EXDertS at Fault.

DR.. Brunton tells some good stories
in an address to the London Medico-
Chiurgical Society. He remembers

diseased, and who had one of the
pupils OF his eyes enormously dilated.
After great many learned opinions
had been given as to how the faulty
heart dilated the pupil, the man
upset the coach" by casually observ-
ing that the eye was glass one.
Another of his stories is that of a
professor who was telling his students
that he was able to discover this,
that, and the other symptoms of in
ternal disease from the teeth of a
woman whose case was being dag
nosed. She was very anxious to help
in the business -rather too anxious,

without the Queen.
She is a very little old woman,
stout and redfaced and not beauti-
full, but there is no one in her king
dom, with it's hundreds of high-bo
beauties, who carries with her the
stateliness and dignity of her
Majesty. She is not naughty, for her
motherliness is traditional: she is not
resolute, for many times she has
modified her own opinions to agree
with those of her Ministers; she has
not a remarkably strong mind, for
her books show only ordinary ability.
She impresses the world because all
her life long she has honorably and
seriously borne her crown, has been
true and good and kind; has realized
that the welfare of a nation was in
volved in whatever she might do;
that for her mistakes many others
must suffer; that her esponsibilities
were great; that the world was worth
living in, and her people worthy her
never ceasing care. This picture Of
the Queen shows her as she presided
over the wedding of her grandson,
the Duke of York. If that occasion
was really her Majesty's last state
appearance before her people, as was
.rumored at the time, she studied to
please them by putting aside her
mourning and wearing rich white
lace with her stately black gown.
The picture was taken at Osborne,

How a Boston Man Saw q Sun Spot.

How Boston Man Saw q Sun Spot.
A Boston man living out in the
suburbs has discovered a fact that
may interest good many persons.
What he found was that it is quite
possible to see the larger spots that
appear on the suns surface without
glass or lens Of any kind.
The shutters Of the observers house
happened to be closed, and though
a tiny hole near the top OF them a
beam of sunlight found it's way to
the floor There it left an image,
clear and round, tinged at the cir
cumference with a fringe of blue and
orange. The whole appearance Of the
beam as projected reminded the spec
tator of the image of the sun taken
on paper through telescope, and he
got a sheet of white note paper in or
der to test his surmise The result
confirmed it. A beautiful round i'm
age of the sun fell on the paper, and
near the center thereof could be seen
a plush spot, which moved about
with the image whenever the paper
was shifted. The blush colored OBJ
ject was a veritable sun spot, and the
observer watched it by the simple
means described for several days un-
til the revolution of the sun had car
ried it out of sight. boston Herald.
