His Great Mistake.

Il SEE, remarked the wile-awake farmer.
that wheat has gone up 70 20 cents in
Chicago, and there's report that /, will
keep goin' till ii gets 10 dollar. Now,
Ia Ike 10 contract to sell you my crop
for 20 cents. Seventy cents Will do M.
"a rather have a sure thing while its goin'
than 10 take my chances on doiu' better by
waitin'"
But, replied the commission merchant,
II can't agree to contract Tor your wheat
at 20 cents"
why not? lis goin' up to dollar, an
you'll make 30 cents a bushel. Amt that
enough
"Oh, yes but, you see, that 20 cents is
only a speculative price. Il amt what
they pay for real wheat.
Don't pay that for real wheat What
in thunder DO they pay it for, them
why, for options
"Well, what the blazes are options?'
why. they're promises to get wheat and
sell il for such and such price
well, then, they got 10 get the wheat,
amt they"
NO, they sell the promises again, ac-
cording as the market rises or falls
An they don't buy an sell any real
wheat al all?'
Not much
"Just buy an sell wind at 20 cents a
bushel?'
That's about it,
Thunder an Mars, wish I'd knowed
that last fall Il wouldn't a-sowed any wheat.
I'd tied my grain bags to the back o my
fannin' mill an kept the boy turnin' it all
winter till I'd filled all the bags I could get
hold Of. But it amt too late yet. By
Gosh, if it's wind they want. stead OF
wheat, l can supply the market for the
hull country right off my own farm. -

The notion that the Sahara is altogether
a barren and worthless waste is wide of
the truth. In 1892 there were 1900, 900
sheep in the Algerian Sahara alone, be-
sides 1000, 900 goats and 26O, 600 camels
On the Gases there are 100000 date
palms, giving dates worth 5000, 900 a
year. So even the desert is worth keeping
under control.

not carried out the understanding were
introduced, but Judge Williams said
they were really nice letters but they
did not change the fact that Cashier
Menke had a right to do just what ne
did do in the matter.
The jury had been sent out during
the argument and Judge Williams or
dered them called in. He stated to
them that Cashier Menke had not made
false entry and told them to return
their verdict finding the defendant not
guilty. He ordered the clerk of the
court to draw up the verdict and when
the foreman had signed il Judge Will
Jams asked the jury if that was their
verdict and each one meekiy NODDED his
head in the affirmative
And then the cashier OF the New
York bank who had come all the way
out here to give his testimony looked
very much disguised and Colonel Perry
with that innocent bland. child-like ex-
preston of his sided up 10 the New
York man and said: you fellows had
better skip out or You viii all get IN the
pen before you get out or kansas
That was too much-Snd the New YORK
cashier laughed heartily.
When Menke was discharged he was
congratulated by his friends and Mrs.
Menke's face was brighter than even
a summers sun shine in Kansas. Her
husband had not only been acquitted,
bu. Judge Williams had actually COM
mended his action And the average
man and woman who attends the
United States court positively thinks
that what Judge Williams does not
know would not only make a very
small book but that such book would
not be worth reading.
The case of A j. Lusk. the president
of the Hutchinson bank, was then

Lusk was taking a vacation In oio

A motion was then made TO dismiss
