All the Impotence, r~ecklessness and

Grandpa's Way.

My grandpa is the strangcst man!
OF course love him dearly;
But really it does seem to me
He looks at things SO queerly
He always thinks that every day
is right, no matter whether
LII rains or SHOWS, or shines or blows,
Or what the kind of weather.
When outdoor fun is ruined by
A heavy shower provoking,
He pats my head and says: "You see,
The dry earth needs q soaking
And when think the day too warm
For any kind of pleasure,
He says The corn has grown an inch
l see without a measure"
And when l fret because the wind
Has set my things all whirling,
He looks at me and says: "Tut! tut!
This close air needs q stirringm
He says when 4 fits are piling high,
And fence-posts scarcely peeping:
"How warm beneath their blanket white
The little flowers are kceping!"
Sometimes | think, when on his face
His sweet smile shines so clearly,
lt-wouh be nice if every one
Could see things just as queerly;
Tile Chidren'S Friend.

argue that the production OF oliver has
so far surpassed the production of gold
as to make the value OF silver only
one half that OF gold, and then In the

they declare to be so great as to leave

type the emphatic tone in which men and
women from every part of the United
States speak and write of Paine's celery
compound, not a word more would be
needful
Unfortunately, when published in the
stereotyped pages of a. daily paper, these
enthusiastic letters can't help losing part
of their earnest, persuasive character.
Paine's celery compound is not one of
the many sarsaparillas or neryines that
manage to make themselves public. as
far as their mere names go, but without
making themselves. known to suffering
people by actual use Paine's celery
compound has been used and enthusi-
astically recommended by the most ju
dicious, considerate, careful men and
women in every city in the United States,
as an absolute cure for nervous debility
and exhaustion, neuralgia, sleeplessness,
melancholia, hysteria, headaches, dys-
pepsia. rheumatism, kidney trouble. and
all blood diseases 1t Is the best spring
remedy In the world.
Bright and breezy April days have a
stronger charm of hope about them than

any other days of the year. Now Is the
season appointed by Nature herself for
new growths, and a casting-off of the old
parts that have served their purpose,
and are outworn and diseased. That ter
rible throbbing of the heart the neural
gia, the headache the leaden weight over
the eyes and in the forepart of the head,
need only Paines celery compound to
vanish forever
Paine's celery compound has come le-
ultimately by its present tremendous rep
utatbon, as an invigorator, nerve-regula-
tor, blood-restorer and body-recuperator
There is nothing experimental about 1t.
No remedy in existence ever received
such emphatic and plain spoken testimo-
malls from sick, ailing, tired, and run
down men and women.
1t is no halfway cure that is attempted
by Paine's celery compound, but clean
sweep of every trace of neuralgia, rheu-
matism constipation, headache, dyspep-
STA and blood impurity from the system.
Take Paine's celery compound in the
spring to purify the blood, strengthen the
nerves, and make health!

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2l-The unexpected
strength at Minneapolis today set wheat
spectators to scrambling for cover to such
an extent that December closed at an adj
low Saturdays close. Corn was heavy and
closed sc lower. Oats closed unchanged
and provisions 21aM7,ac higher.
The foreign adVices received this morning
We're Of nature to cause uneasiness to the
hn!l III the wheat market and the con-
sequen was that many of them who had
long M.!eat made haste to dispose of it.
The weakness also encouraged some sell
ling short, the result of which was a de-
cline in the first hour and a half of the
session of &c below the closing quotation
of Saturday. Cables came lower both from
Liverpool and on the continent, the former
opening I'D off and later lost another I'D;
the amount on ocean passage showed an
Increase of 900 bushels during the last
week and the world shipments were IN
officially reported from New York at $780,
900 bushels. In addition to this New York
wired that foreigners were large sellers
there and that many buying orders had
been cancelled.
The opening price for December was SIC,
against 6lssc Saturdays closing figure,
and by IL o'clock 60lacM60ssc was quoted.
The decline, however, met with stubborn
resistance. and, Notwithstanding the weak
ness of closing cables and selling in New
York by foreigners, the market hardened
under the steady acceptance of all offer
ings. Minneapolis and Duluth received 1,1OS
cars, against 15O2 cars on the Monday pre-
ceding, and 800 on the corresponding day
of last year. Atlantic port exports amount
ed, in wheat and flour, to SO 900 bu. Both
of these items We're rather encouraging
to the bulls, and during the last hour the
market got quite strong and an advance
Of about 112c over the low price resulted.
Minneapolis reported an advance of nearly
&c and an unusually sharp cash demand.
December finally sold to G2Ac and closed
firm at 62is@62Ac.
Corn was quiet and weak. Prospective
heavy receipts and heavy country selling
combined TO neutralize any effect the late
strength Of wheat may have had. The in
crease in visible was also factor. May
opened &c lower at 24&c, declined to 24ssM
2ilac and closed easy at the opening price.
Oats were weaker and lower early, but
rallied and closed with all the decline re-
covered. The early depression was in
sympathy with wheat and corn and on SELL
ing by local traders. A better demand
sprung up later and aided by the advance
in wheat prices rallied. May opened Ac
lower at 19c, declined shade, and rallied
to 19Ac, where it closed.
Provisions were firm and ruled higher
Opening prices were slightly higher, as a
result Of better hog market. Packers
were liberal buyers and further slight ad-
vance followed. Most of which was re-
tanned; January pork closed TIC higher at
sos; January lard 21sc higher at $3.50;
January ribs &c higher at $3471.G35O.
Estimated receipts Tuesday: Wheat $50
cars; corn 700 cars; oats 400 cars; hogs Il, 600
head.
