A Daring Peruvian Indian.

The truth of the following anecdote can
be vouched for:
An Indian montone-o, alone, with his
rife on his shoulder, came out OF San
Cristobal street to that of Pileta de Santa
Catalina. On facing the fort of Santa Cat
alma and as he advanced in that direction,
rifles and mitraillcuse were fired at him,
but the fellow went Oh the even tenor OF
his way, letting them blaze away at him
without touching his rife or turning his
head, until he reached the corner OF Gen
eral street, where he performed right
about face, took of his kept ami made .
polite bow to those on the for, who had
taken so much trouble TO Kill him.
The officer in command on Santa Cata-
lima was so impressed with the cool and
undaunted bearing of this montonero that
he ordered his soldiers To give him cheer.

Stories OF the Wheat Pit Called Up by the
Recent Fluctuations of the Grain.
Times like the present, when the Chicar
60 grain markets are fuctuating wildly
and fortune may be made or lost within
an hour, are almost always attended by
incidents So extraordinary as to be scarce
~ credible. There is trader on change
who made u vow last week that he would
never again have his boots blacked. The
price OF shiue has not gone up with wheat,
and the regular quotation is O nickel, but
the shine in question cost this trader in
the neighborhood of IS, 900. 1t came about
in this way: lie was thinking that his
boots needed a brushing up, but he was
watching short line Of wheat which was
to be bought in if the market advanced to
a certain figure. 1t was a figure that no
one thought would be reached that day,
but this trader was trifie nervous over
it, so he hesitated about going over to the
backing stand. AS bad luck would have
it. another trader happened along and said,
"Charley, let's 60 over and get shine"
''No," responded Charley facetiously.
II haven't got the price"
That's all right. II you III 60 and get
q shine with me, I'll pay for it,
Charley took him up, and while they
were getting the shine the market, with
one of those freaks no. unusual during
the last week, made II skyrocket upturn
and staid just a quarter OF . cent over the
figure at which Charley ought to have
bought to save loss Of nearly S., 600. He
may retrieve himself if the market ever
declines, but UP to date he has IS, coo
charged up to shine account.

Suddenly happy inspiration seized him.
He quietly slipped out to the washroom,

Rushing into the corn pit, he fiourished
the sprinkled hat wildly over his head and

Among the many drubbings given the
boys on change by B. p. Hutchinson was
a notable mansuver Of his the morning OF
the day that the great Harper collapse
came GU. In June Of 1887. Wheat had ex-
perienced some such boom as is being
witnessed at present, and everybody had
a craving to buy wheat. The Harper crowd
were famous bulls. and IL had become the
fashion TO keep along with them. Early
in the day Mr.. Hutchinson, by some IN
known means, obtained hint of what
was to happen-namely, that the Harper
people Were to give ont and the market
burst into tatters, carrying the price down
and down. So far as is known. no one else
in Chicago knew what was to happen, and
whether Mr.. Hutchinson dreamed it out
or not is q mystery
He came into the pit with serene smile
on his face soon after the opening and
taking handfuls Of his trading cards out
Of his pocket he passed than around. tell
Ing the boys they could have all the wheat
they wanted-just to put il down on his
card and never mind about the price. The
crowd took it as a good joke, an eccen
tricity, and proceeded to buy all the whes,
they could get on TO the cards. a few
hours afterward the collapse came, the
market tottered and at last reeled over
like drunken man down into the depths
After that the boys fought shy Of Mr.
Hutchinson when he offered his trading
cards around the pit.

SOUND LOGIC.

That an Over-crOwded market
affects the prices Of produce is self
evident. The desire Of q great
many farmers to Immediately rush
their crop to market had more to
do with the low price Of everything
last season, according t" the opin-
ion Of experts, than anything else.
The Texas Farm and Ranch, a
paper thoroughly acquainted with
and entirely devoted to agriculture
III intereste. in its last issue sounds
tue following note Of warning.
which We would advise our farmers
to heed:
All recent crop reports agree that
the contingencies Of the past few
weeks indicate u yield Of cotton far
below the estimate Of . month ago.
But, however short the yield, il
farmers rush their cotton to market
beyond the immediate wants Of con
sumers, they will have to take for il
what buyers offer, and as long As
the supply is ahead OF the demand,
buyers will not offer any but the
lowest possible price. When the
seller runs after buyers, prices are
low; when the buyer must have
goods, prices 60 up. Farmers
should RENE mber this and act &C
cordingiy.
