How the Weary Office Boy Discovered What a
'White" Was

II tell you how it wuz, see?" said the
| office boy to the main squeeze" as
| he called the cashier. The office boy was
almost bursting with food. He had just
returned from his luncheon. His vest
was wide open, the upper button of his
trousers was unfastened to give his
stomach room in which to expand. 1t was
not always thus with the office boy.
Usually he came back from luncheon
hungrier than he went, and had to kill
his appetite with cigarettes, smoked
surreptitiously in the engine room.
well, how was it? asked the cash
Ter.
"Ye see, I bin eatip' veds fer a good
many months. Sometimes when de ole
man loosened an gimme a nickel fer
runnin' out to his house, l made it d
blue But it was ginrally reds"
What in the world do you mean by
reds and blues?" asked the cashier.
why, reds 10-cent check, blues

Say; you're not so quick as the tele-
graft, are your"

"Well, I'm eatin' reds and blues fer a
long time now, an / alwus went hungry.
Sometimes it was piece of custard an

samwich an piece NV peach an draw

"but / do not understand draw one

know what draw one means? Why,
dat's draw cup of coff.
Which l presume stands for coffee, -
said the cashier hesitatingly.
Sure" answered the office boy. Il
knowed all the time that a green wuz

find out even if 1 had to eat my way to
it,"
why didn't you ask?" said the cash
ier innocently.
Il amt no Rube, goin' about rubber
neckin' an askin' questions. When I
want to know anything 1 just find out
by experience. / amt takin' no chances

Well, l saved up, an saved up, an at

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-May wheat, which
closed yesterday at 76sS opened today at
76ssQf67s. There were only few sales at
the higher of the quotations as the in
fluence which prompted the advance lasted
for only q few moments. This was de-
cline in English consols. which, taken in
connection with the unsettled condition of
the European political Eituation,. was
thought to indicate growing danger of war.
But this was almost Immediately lost sight

arrive next month. The presumption was
that such large amount of wheat would
break the market there. 1t led to exclus-
i've LIQUIDATION in which some of the strong
est holders in the pit participated. After
the scramble to unload was over, the mar
ket quieted down somewhat and a slow
recovery to 75N ensued. This was only
temporarily, however, liquidation started
again during the last hour and the mar
ket already weakened, by the large unload
ing. Easily forced down to 1915, the market
had recovered to 75H at the close. Corn
suffered a little in sympathy with the de-
cline in wheat, May getting down to 231a.
which is the lowest 1t has SO far sold this
season. Oats were quiet and featureess.
At the opening steady feeling existed,
but later on In the day when wheat de-
clined, similar action took place here.
Trade in provisions was light and prices
suffered another small decline in SYM

the brand law will be placed in the
office of the register Of deeds of all
organized counties by June 1st.
No certificates will be issued, nor
any action whatever taken on appli-

the first Monday IN January 1898.

are used with the brand.

make clear the point is that have been
misinterpreted.
Yours
