AMONG THE WAVING CORN.

Down in the fields the tasselod corn
Flutters its ribbons green,
That cast tangled web about
OF shifting shade and sheen.
Tho timid cornflower dos its hood
And shows it's azure eyes,
That open ON this wondrors world
In tremulous surprise.
p Of somewhere ia adjacent woods
A little brooklet trills
OF purple shades and leafy bowers
Among the distant hills.
The bold and Haunting poppy holds
Its crimson goblet high
To tempt with sweet and drowsy wines
The bee and butterfly.

What Wheat Is Doing.

| A million dollars in gold are on their
way from England to America, another
million have been engaged in Paris fol
shipment this week. and half million
more are coming from Genoa, says the
| New York World. The steamer Mona
brings to San Francisco 100000 from
Australia. Last month s., 200 900 came
from the same quarter, and conserv-
alive estimate is that we shall receive in
the near future about s25 100000 of gold
from Australia alone.
The explanation is that our exports are
phenomenally large and our imports
phenomenaIly small. Our grain ship.
ments alone amount to a million dollars
a day, and there are not enough Ameri-
can securities held by foreigners who
willing to part with them to settle this
"balance of trade" Foreign investors
are not disposed to part with American
securities.
This inflow of gold increases our
money supply and cannot fail to aid in
the revival of prosperity.

Millinery Openings.

Boulder is assuming Metropolitan
manners when it can have four milli.
merry openings in one day. Such was
the case yesterday. Lack of room pre-.
vents giving each separate space, but
suffice it to say that such an extensive
display of trimmed hats and trimmings
has seldom been seen in Boulder. Rich
autumn foliage, artisticaliy arranged,
added much to make the displays even
more attractive. Plumes, birds, ribbons
and feathers called forth many excla
nations from the ladies, who always at
tend these openings. The Golden Rule
had music box which played all the
afternoon, to the delight of all visitors.
Miss Wilson served delicious fruit
frappe to her visitors, while Madame
Lewis had an. excellent orchestra, be-
hind screens, whose music was simply
superb. Madam Lewis, Miss Wilson,
The FAIR and The Golden Rule stores
are to be congratulated for their sue
cessful openings. for it is certain the
Boulder ladies have never before seen ex
hibited here such an array of fall mlli
merry as was displayed by these enter
prsing firms yesterday afternoon.

Fall Of the Greek Ministry.

Athens, Oct The Boules Legislative
assembly met yesterday to consider the
peace treaty with Turkey and the politi
cal situation in general. The galleries
were crowded, and the proceedings were
followed with intense interest. Nj. Ralli,
the premier, mounted the tribune, and,
alter reviewing the events leading up to-
the beginning If the peace conditions,
invited the chamber to vote confidence
in the government. He proposed reso.
luton to that effect Amid great excite
ment the chamber defeated the resolu-
ton by vote of 90 to 80. This defea,
precipitated crisis. 1t is deemed i'm
practicable for M. Ralli to continue in
office with the cabinet as now constituted
Tne Delyannists are large majority
OF the chamber, and no cabinet could

Dingley's kindergarten for Women.

About six months ago Mr.. Dingley in
an address to the house remarked: "The
past four years have been enlightening,
especially to candid investigators of eco
nomic problems. We have been attend
ing kindergarten on gigantic scale. -
The millions OF women who crowd our
stores may not be as candid investiga-
tors of economic problems" as Dingley
and his confreres. but every one of them
knows the difference between high prices
and low prices. The placards in our
large stores announcing that owing to
the new tariff prices will soon be raised
are as effective object-lessons in the
Dingley gigantic kindergarten as are
Frcebers gifts in the childreu's kinder.
