Time to Quit.


What are YOU going to DO with your
wheat? You will have to take a very
low price for it. perhaps the lowest
you ever accepted. Crowded England
is the worlds wheat market. From
the United States she used to get her
principal supply, and she had to pay
enough for it that the American farm
er realized from II dollar to Il dollar
and half bushel. But it was found
that India, British dependency,
could be made Il wheat producing
country. But India was Il silver using

silver must he had. The United
States was the great producer CT silver

England could not buy American sill
yer to exchange for Indian wheat !;
she could more protitablv buy the
American wheat direct But by de-
monetizing silver the metal could be
made cheap. This was done, and the
British can now buy an ounce of silver
for from 50 to 80 cents. This ounce
OF silver they swap for a bushel of
Indian wheat just as they did when
the ounce of silver cost $1.29. The
British, therefore buy what silver they
need in America, and with it buy Their

themselves knocking holes in it. 1t

the Government with the necessary

My attention was attracted by the

in the direction where had last seen

Never was man more dead in earnest.
The sand all around him was in com

of his hump could be seen as the loose
sand settled around it,

second to see the poor fellow blown to
atoms. Then came the explosion with
jar that shook the ground and sent a
hundred pieces of iron singing through
the air.
We kept our eyes fixed upon the spot
as the smoke and dust slowly lifted,
and the first thing that came to view
was the head of Ford, still on his
shoulders AS he realized that he was
all right, he looked back at US and
sang out: "Whoo-eer' as cheerily as if

The Queer Escape or a Confederate from

A Virginia soldier, Capt. T. c. Nor

characteristic" wartime incident
which he witnessed while his company
were stationed at Totopotomoy creek.
The men had thrown up 'respecta-
bic earthwork," splitting their can
teens into scoops because they had no
shovels, and the next morning the
federal artillery opened upon them.
In the company was a hunchback
named John Ford.
Before the Smelling began, writes
Capt. Morton, Ford had been placed on
the advanced picket line. and his posi-
ton happened to be in sandy bottom
near the creek, where he had sheltered
himself behind an uprooted tree. He
could be seen plainly by many of the
men, crouching low in the sand.
Suddenly large mortar she'll fell in
