Provisions of Every Character Going Up
with the Golden Grain.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug 23.-Follow-
ing the example set by wheat, all the
other cereals and flour are enjoying an
unprecedented boom, and show an in

food stuff, until the cost of living, in the
narrower sense, has been increased to
the average consumer "a per cent. dur
ing the last few days The advance is
by no means regarded by the more
competent observers as at an end, and
a still greater increase in the price OF
the necessaries is predicted

While we are mad
At his having FIRST chance to Miss Daisy
Saying. you are a typical Daisy.

And the atmosphere grows more hazy;
With fearful eyes

Not to get still closer to Miss Daisy
Saying: you are a dear, winsome Daisy.

And gracious is not at all lazy;

But will seek for her younger sister;
Who to so serve would draw a blister;
Go 1t. young man.,

The favorite pastime with Miss Daisy
Saying: will you be mine, charming Daisy

And the tableau yivant shows may;

The terrapin wedding with no dance;
A mere pretence
To save expense,
And to make her no longer Miss Daisy
Saying: you are my own darling Daisy.
