Grain Notes.

There was no attempt at trading yester-
day The commission men were all in their
offices, but no attempt at trading was
made. Friday and yesterday the receipts
were 3oS cars of corn, So cars of wheat, Il
cars of oats and 9S cars of hay.
q A message from Syracuse, Neb., says:
Seventy-fve thousand bushels of corn
have been cribbed here during the past six
weeks Fifty-five thousand bushels of new
corn have been shipped out by the eleva-
tors during the past two weeks. An extra
freight train for corn from this point is re-
duired every day. What is true of this
city is true of every section of Nebraska.
About all the corn has been husked in
Western Nebraska. The great problem is
the manner in which 1t can be handled.
Many are storing their grain.

Advertising Makes Busine.,.

Aside from departures In policy and tn-
novattons on large scale the originality
of the department store is largely supplied
by two departments to some extent core
lated. These are the advertising depart
ment and the window dressing department.
One Is the literature of the great store:
the other its art. The shop windows are a
great stimulus for the department whose
goods are displayed in them. A good show
ing will often wonderfully increase the
sale of the stock well as attract GUS
toners to the store who are new to It.
Frequently the head advertising man is
the general manager of the store. Whether
this is the case or not, he is a general su-
pervisor of the establishment, with a COM
plete knowledge of its ever changing de-
tail Every day he holds consultations with
heads. Of departments to find out what
particular lines of articles they want
Doomed and about those articles he
writes alluring statements for the shop
ping public to read. sometimes arranging
for illustrations with them. The amount
OF money spent for advertising is appalling
when looked upon as an expense One
great store in Philadelphia spends on an
average $1,000 every day in the year. and
a good many spend $500 day. The adj
vertising receives probably more of the
personal attention of the head of the
house than any other department The
hedu VI tue ilIiIl WHICH eSpeDuS tle great
sum Just mentioned personally suggests
and frequently writes the leading lines in
the daily announcement. The proprietor of
a great store in Brooklyn does this invari-
ably. and thinks the time well spent which
the work daily requires. The mail depart
ment tends to enlarge this expenditure, as
the store reaches out to the utmost parts
of the country, and the future Will no
doubt see an even greater development in
the effort to secure mah customers in the
small towns and in country places.-Scrfb-

A CHASTITY Scene During the Late Ar
menian Slaughter.

A procession of four or five scavenger
carts met US. The first one passed with
out notice. Over the second a piece of
mating was thrown, and from under the
mating protruded the hands and feet of
dead men. The third had no covering over
it CHASTITY load of four or five bodies thrown
in. doubled and twisted as they CHANGED to
fall The uppermost body was a horrible
spectacle, with only broken mixture of
skin, hair. and blood in the place where
the Skull had been. In those carts were
more than score of bodies Of Armenians
Of the poorer class. who had been killed.
not with weapons, but by beating with
clubs The Turkish bludgeon-men had
been at work On the streets, and the mu-
nicirality had placed it's carts at their
disposal to remove the evidences of their
crime. The victims had been battered to
pieces merely because they belonged to a
hated race. The contempt for their fate
shown by the government officials in thus
indecently piling their corpses like offal
in the scavenger carts, and in parading
the evidence of its heartlessness before
the eyes of the club bearers who were
waiting opportunity for similar achieve
ments, swept away every trace of sym-
pathy for the Turks wronged by the an
archical proceedings of the Armenians at
the bank. I.
From the bridge another horrible sight
could be seen. Men were at work gath
erinS dead bodies Of Armenians out Of the
water. Almost Immediately upon the out
break at the bank the Kourdish porters
employed at the custom house on the Stam-
boul side of the harbor. more than mile
from the scene Of disturbance, had killed
all whom they could catch of their Ar
merian associates. and had thrown them
into the sea- The police were now having

of the wretches were still alive.-From "a

A s1sTERLY REMEDY.
She Said She Would Not Let Her Bro

tner-in-LaW TO cut OF the Family.
From the New York Sun.
There are more ways of killing a dog
than by hanging him. and there are more
ways of curing man than by giving him
medicine. At least there is another way of
restoring feminine invalid to health and
strength, If the experience OF a certain
young woman of this city is to count for
anything.
This young woman is a most attractive
creature, bright. pretty. amiable Any man
might be proud to win her, but no one has
succeeded so far. She has married sis
ter, however and has often expressed her
fondness and admiration for her brother
in-law in enthusiastic terms. All of which
is part of the story.
Not long ago the married sister had a
serious illness, and the young woman did a
large and devoted share of the nursing
Everything that care and medical skill
could devise was done for the invalid, but
she remained an invalid in spite of all.
after day she limited more strongly that
after day she limited more strongly that
she was not long for this world. The
young woman, of course. boIstered UP her
sister with encouragement and tonics three
times day, but the sister still insisted
that it wasn't any use. Finally she got to
a point where she was so very low in her
mind that she called the young woman to
her bedside one day. and in voice choked
with emotion she said:
Don't try to hide it from me any longer,
Gracei It's got to come and I'm recon-
ciled. or I hope am. But before I go I
want you to promise me one thing
Now, stop talking such nonsense" gent
ly chided the young woman. You're 60
ing to be all right soon. All you need is
another bottle of tonic and a good brace"
The sister feebly shook her head.
You mean 1t all right. but you don't
know. tell you I am going to die and
this is dying request have to make of
you"
'All right dear" said the young woman,
humoring her sister for the time
'It's-it's about Ned beginning to sob
weakly. Ned was her husband, by the
way. IT want-I want you-to look after
htm-and see that-he isn't-isn't-oh, too
miserable-you know. Promise mel ask
1t as-ny last request-that you-will look

bitterly.
The young woman was really deeply af-
fected but she had flash OF inspiration
and she said briskly, almost gaily.
Don't you worry about Ned! I'll see
that he doesn't go out of the famiIyI"'
what do you mean?" she demanded.
'I'll keep him where / can take care of

The invalid stared for minute then she
said In business-like tone:
You mean thing! III see that you

A True Renr Story.

Speaking of law and the enforcement of
discipline in Yellowstone park. heard the
story of bear there which I consider
exceedingly important not only as a COM
ment on the discipline Of the park but
as moral lesson to parents in domestic
obedience. The story is literally true, and
IL it were not should not repeat It, for
1t would have no value. Mr. Kipling says
"the law of the jungle is-obey." This also
seems to be the law of Yellowstone park
There Is a lunch station at the Upper ba-
sin, near Old Faithful, kept by a very in
telligent and ingenious man. He got ac-
quainted last year with she bear who
used to come to his house every day and
walk into the kitchen for food for herself
and two cubs. The cubs never came. The
keeper got on very intimate terms with the
bear, who was always civil and we'll be-
haved. and would take food from his hand
without taking the hand). One day to-
wards sunset the bear came to the kitch-
en-, and, having received her portion, she
went out of the back door to carry II to
her cubs. To her surprise and anger the
cubs were there waiting for her. She laid
down the food and rushed at her infants
and gave them a rousing spanking. "She
did not cuff them; she spanked them" and
then she drove them back into the woods.
cutting them and knocking them at every
step. When she reached the spot where
she had told them to wait, she left them
there and returned to the house. And there
she stayed in the kitchen for two whole
hours making the disobedient children
wait for their food, simply to discipline
them and teach them obedience The ex-
PLANTATION is very natural When the bear
leaves her young in particular place and
goes in search of food for them. If they
stray away in her absence she has great
difficulty in finding them. The mother
knew that the safety of her cubs and her
own peace of mind depended upon strict
discipline in the family. o, that we had
more such mothers in the United States,-

Mud Baths of New Mexico.

The hot springs of New Mexico" says
a gentleman from Las Vegas, "are on the
Santa Fe railroad, six miles from Las
Vegas. and they are situated in a basin
about thirty acres in extent, surrounded on
all sides by hills rising to a height of from
$50 to 400 feet, shielding the place from
wind and sand storms. The mud baths,
which are famous for their curative effects.
are only to be had in two places In the
world, here and at Carlsbad, Germany. and
it has been shown that the mud found at
the hot springs of New Mexico and which
is used in giving the baths. IS of the same
chemical composition as that of Carlsbad.
1t is very interesting to note the forma-
ton of this mud or peat. 1t is formed by
the vegetation which has been washed
down from the hills probably a century ago
