MADE A FORTUNE IN WHEAT
Joseph Letter Surprises the Smart Set
in Chicago Society.

one OF the men who, as the brokers
put it, have made a killing in wheat
this summer is Joseph Letter, son oi
Levi T. Letter, the Chicago dry goods
magnate. Young Mr.. Letter is credited
with having caught the wheat boom
when il was rising, playing the bull
side Of the market like veteran
plunger until now II is estimated that
he is more than 100000 to the good.
Up to last spring young Mr. Letter
had been known simply as "one Of the
Letter boys" In society circles he had
done little something to gain an in
divmuality Of his own. He had led a
few cotillons and had attracted aJten-
ton by his varied aad well selected
warorobe. He had taken an active part
I'm social affairs and was counted one
of the gayest OF the younger and eX-
elusive set but no one ever suspected
that he would ever accumulate any
money except by Inheritance.
1t was with some incredulity that
the bulls and bears Of the Chicago
boana Of trade heard that the elegant
young Mr. Letter was seriously deal

Homemade Tape Measure.

An exceedingly pretty as we'll as
useful adjunct to ones workbasket is
tape measure made from grosgrain
ribbon to take the place of the usual
ugly measure, which does not seem
suited to the pretty baskets which are
now so generally used. The measure
can be made as long as one chooses,
but for the one most generally used
a yard and one-eighth of grosgrain
ribbon three-quarters of an inch wide
ae needed. The ribbon, if pale vio-
let, should be marked off into quarter
inches with violet ink, and the ends
are fastened over little white sticks,
which can be procured at any store
where art notions are sold. The mea-
sure is made much prettier when tiny
voilets, outlined in ink, are scattered
here and there on the ribbon.

one of pale shrimp pink with Safrano

feathery white blossoms. Every one
likes a hand screen to ornament the

A Chapter on Colds
SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS THAT May prevent
SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
The Danger of Neglecting a Common Cold"
Serious and Often Fatal MaladieS may
Result from CareleSSneSS.
FOm me Me,rs, Rarrsonburq, Ia.

In most instances colds are the result of
fmprudence or lack of forethought. Even
in eases where a sudden change in the
weather or an unavoidable exposure is re-
sponsible for the first slight cold, fresh and
more severe colds may be avoided by OBJ
serving little care. But a. mere cold - is
such a common thing and causes so little
inconvenience that Notwithstanding all pre-
vious experiences we neglect to take the
most simple precautions, in the way of
wearing suitable clothing, the avoidance of
draughts. etc.
One should always bear in mind the
necessity of exercising constant vigilance
to avoid catching cold. When the tempera-
ture in the house is higher than that out of
doors, never 90 out without putting on an
additional wrap. Never sit in a cold room
even though you do not feel chilly. And it
is better to suffer little discomfort from
wearing heavy underclothing than to run
the risk of a chill.
The following letter from lady in Sicily
Island, La, graphically illustrates the dis
tressing consequences that are liable to fol-
low a simple cold.
