LUCY WAS DEMuRE.
But the Sedate Young Minister Feared
High Kicking Girls.

But the Sedste Young Minister Feared
High Kicking Girls.
A sedate young minister recently took
up quarters in a boarding house in the
Tenderloin district. He was delighted to
find himself the only gentleman at a ia
BILE where six young women lent charm
even to murky coffee and hashed and re-
hashed hash. He took them to church
with him on the first Sunday morning,
and in the >evening they sang gospel
hymns for him. He retired early that
night, and the sound Of their voices
lulled him to sleep, but it did not seem
to him that the song was exactly gospel.
However, he had forgotten the occur
renee by breakfast time.
The next day some marks on the door
If the back parlor attracted his atten-
hon. There were just as many of them
although he did not notice that-as
there were young women, varying in al
titude from AZ to 81 feet. Over each
mark was a capital letter, buS it did not
occur to him that these capitals were the
initials Of the young women. Under
meath the lowest line and around all of
the lines except the two upper ones
which represented progress - was a
smudge as if former lines had been rub
bed out in order to make later and high
Or ones.
The sedate theologue became very
curious about these marks. He asked
many questions, but the young women
only teased him by way of answer, excit-
ing his curiosity and fascinating him all
the more. 1t had seemed to him that
young women of the city had more
charming ways than those of the coun-
try. One Of the six in particular, by
name Lucy, had won his admiration.
She was the demurest of all, and she it
was whom he took to church alone and
for whom he bought ice cream and can
dy wrapped up in boxes bearing gold la
bels. Yet eve she was proof against his
most subtle queries about the meaning
of those marks.
What might have been the future re-
lations between himself and Lucy if he
had not returned Unexpectedly one even
ing from prayer meeting no Il can tell.
The door Of the back parlor was partly
open, and he heard a whisk of skirts and
saw near the topmost mark on the door
the toe of a little boot-Lucy's boot.
His baggage was packed before he
went to bed.-New York Press.

II HONEST Firms.
Life and Property Are Both Thoroughly
Secure Among These People.

Life and Property Are Both Thoroughly
Secure Among These People.
Life and property are thoroughly Sc
cur in Finland. Trunks and parcels are
left for hours in the street, to be found
when wanted by their rightful owners.
In the country districts the houses are
never barred and bolted, even in the alb
sence Of their owners. Then, again, it
is no uncommon thing for a blooming
girl Of II or a young married oma
to drive alone in her cart q distance of
so or 60 miles through dense forests
and by the shores of gloomy lakes, con-
veying the family's butter, cheese and
eggs to market in town, and then to re-
turn home alone with the proceeds. In
trade the Firms are not only scrupulous-
~ honest, they are %heroically, quix-
otically SO.
A tradesman will tell you the whole
truth about his wares, even when he
knows perfectly we'll that by SO doing
he loses a customer whom the partial
truth would have secured. "This seems
exactly the kind of apparatus I am look
ing for" I said to a merchant in Hels-
ingfors some months ago in reference to
an article that costs $75, land I will buy
it at once if, knowing what I want it
for, you a honestly recommend me to
take it.. "No, sir; l do not recommend
you to take it, nor have I anything in
stock Just now that would suit you"
And I left the shop and purchased what
I wanted elsewhere.
"Here's your fare, said to a peasant
in the interior who had driven me for
three hours through the woods on his
drosky, handing him 81. "No, sir
that's double my fare" he replied, re-
turning one-half the money. And when
I told him he might keep it for his hon
esty he slightly nodded his thanks, with
the dignity of n of natures gentle
men. scottish American.

FEAR As A CAUSE OF oEAIh.


ThA Imagination y Potent Factor In 40.
quiring . Fatal Disease.
"Of the whole number of persons
supposed to die Of disease. y said q prom.
inent physician the other day, II should
say that at least 90 per cent are really
carried away by fear. Were it not for
this element mortality would be far less
than it is"
In support Of his statement he cited
various cases where the element Of fear
had entered largely in as a potent factor
to persuade people that their time had
come. Presentiments, prophecies, pre-
,monitions and general all
played their part. Some years ago four
criminals, condemned in Russia to die,
were taken to a house and shown sew
eral beds, in which, they were told, u
number Of cholera patients had died.
In fact, the beds were new, never hav-
ing been slept in. The criminals were
informed that they would be set at lib
erty il they would undergo the ordeal
of sleeping several nights in the beds.
From the prisoners point of view it
was a possible though desperate chance
Of escape. They one and all decided to
TAKE the chances. At the end of the
r;me prescribed two were uninjured
IND went free, but the others developed
oil the symptoms and died Of Asiatio
cholera.
Two physicians determined to take
advantage of the impressionable mind
Of a female patient and prove a theory
for the benefit Of science. The lady had
complained of an itching on her back.
She was told that a blister would be ap.
piled. Instead a common postage stamp
was applied, and. so runs the chronicle,
performed all the offices Of the plaster
which was not there.
A college professor was once the sub.
ject of a practical joke at the hands Of
the students. They met him one after
another, and each successfully inquired
after his health, saying that he looked
i'll. He took to his bed, a physician was
called, and for days the professor imag.
incd ne was ill.--New York World.

DREAMlAND.

Where highs the whispering linden
To 9 cmmer's lightest breeze,
Where tuneful birds make music
Unseen mid shady trees
How sweet awhile to iinger
Beside some babbling stream,
And lulled by its soft murmur
To fall asleep and dream!
What strange fantastic pictures
Pass mirrored DER the brain
As youth forgets its troubles
And age grows young againl
The past, 10 more remembered,
Makes way for what shall be,
And scenes of future gladness
Are all the dreamers see.
All, would these idle fancies
Might sometimes prove them true
Nor fade away to nothing
And vanish from the view!
Fond thought! But r~epining.
Perchance it's happier thus
To leave unsolved life's riddle
Nor ask what waits for US.

In oats business was very active but
a heavy feeling existed throughout
There was a weaker feeling in the cash
market and the same was extended
into the speculative crowd. Toward

wheat and corn. June started at 2S1s
cents, sold at 2S92sh cents. up to 2S2s

JULY WHEAT STACKS ON ANOTHER
TWO CENTS
Corn, Oats and Provisions All Higher,
Purely in Sympathy With wheat--wed-
nesday's Course Is Repeated, Opening
Easier, Advancing Early, Anxious Buy
ing, Shorts Scared to Death by Frosts,
Chinch Bugs and Hessian Flies and an
Advance, Fairly Continuous to the Close
--Rumors of Drouth Scare in Odessa.

Chicago, May 1.-THE chinch bug
and the Hessian fly had another in
ming in the wheat market today, scar
ing shorts and advancing the July
price 2 cents. July corn gained Il
cent; July oats Il cent and provisions
made advances, all in sympathy with
wheat
Wheat made similar start to that
on the day before. 1t opened weak
with considerable pressure to sell, at
from u TO II cent below the previous
days closing price and almost imme-
diately thereafter a general desire to
buy quickly succeeded the contrary i'm
pulse at the opening. The advance
which started within half a minute of
the opening carried the price UP from
653s cents for July, at which a few
sales were made, to 66ss cents, and it
1uctuated for half an hour or so be-
tween 66A cents and 661a cents. After
that the buying was more general and
very soon it became almost universal
until the price had been advanced with
a Whirl to 61as cents, which figure ii
reached in little more than an hour
from the opening. The weather map
was reassuring, the general tempera-
ture being low enough 10 suggest death
TO insects without being severe enough
to do more than check a too rank
growth of vegetation. The foreign
markets, while firm, showed a reluct-
ance in following the course of other
things here but there were numerous
reports of damage TO crops by frost.
chinch bugs and Hessian flies and
shorts Were forced to cover 1t was
said that Partridge covered a big line.
The daily statistical news was not Of
an exceptional character. The north
western receipts were smaller than a
year ago. but the total of the primary
markets was larger. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 152 cars compared with
2i2 on the corresponding day of the
year before. Primary market receipts
altogether were 100000 bushels against
only $4,000 on the corresponding DAY
OF last week. and 1893, 900 on the day of
the year before. Export clearances of
wheat and flour from Atlantic ports
amounted to 397 900 bushels. 172 900 of
which was in the shape of wheat. One
matter which may develop into some
thing sensational should il receive
further confirmation was perhaps not
generally known in the pit during the
session. Milmine, Bodman & Co. Of
New York, wired their house here that
they had received dispatch from a re-
liable firm in London to a good New
York house saying that there was fear
of damage from drouth expressed from
Odessa. Kansas City wired that wheat
was bringing rs cents per bushel there
The crowd here did not dare sell any
wheat short and every time they
bought it they had to advance their
previous bids. July advanced to 6S1b
cents and 68A G6sS cents was the trad
ing price at the close.
Corn acted heavy and but for the
great strength in the wheat market, It
logged a. il IL might have declined. In
