that the wheat stock of the world
amounts to only about 10 million
bushels, one of the smallest supplies

States, both from abroad and from
those whose condition is to be i'm
proved by the revival of manufactur-

great and result in "A prosperity sim

of these publications have evidently

Drowsy Passenger In q Street Car.
One of the few passengers in Belt line car
that stopped at the South Ferry carly onemorn.

curling black mustache. He had apparently
been enjoying late supper, and was fast asleep
when the car reached the end Of the route.
Tho conductor. noticing that he did not leave
with the other passengers. walked in and tapped
him on the shoulder. Tho man was not easily
awakened, however, and the conductor WAS
obliged to saSke him rather roughly. The
passenger finally opened his eyes, and. after
rubbing them for few moments. slipped his
right hand into his waistcoat pocket as IL look
ing for his watch. He found nothing In tho
pocket, and was wide awake in an instant.
Great Scott! I've been robbed Of my watch"
he exclaimed.
The conductor became interested imm mediately,
and bade the man mako search of all his
pockets. The man did 80. but could not find the
watch, and then the conductor said something
about two young men who had left tho car
several blocks before it reached the ferry He
ran over for the policeman stationed at the
ferry, and when he got back found tho black.

he continued to slap his sides and laugh.

the conductor.
"Drunki no." exclaimed the man. Indignant:
but thon his funny streak came er him again
and he burst out laughing afreah.
Tho policeman looked at the conductor who
winked and tapped his head In return. The
policeman motioned TO tho conductor to take
charge of the man while he ran for an ainbu-
lance. Just then the black-mustached man got

tho ferry house, still chuckling to himself.
