Last weeks exports of wheat were
with one exception, the largest on
record, and Schwartz, Dupee & Co. S
advices have been that the European
demand is certain to continue for
some time, the stocks there being
light and the present buying only to
supply the immediate demand. At
the present figures farmers are nat
urally selling their wheat freely, and
this not only means an earlier stop
page of their deliveries than in other
years, but also that when this stop
page occurs there will be practically
no grain in the bins. From these
facts the bulls argue that wheat must
sell at dollar or better before the
new crop is available, and the logic
of the situation is certainly on their
side,

she shrieks,
She'll smile and caress you perchance for a
day,
Then blow you up roaadly, for that is her way,
And many good people had rather leave home
Than stay when this surly old woman will
come
Her children behold her with terror and dread
And hardly dare peep from their warm, cozy
bed,
Though brave little Golden Locks, hardy and
bright,
Sometimes ventures out for taste of sunlight.
Yet such rare housekeeper never was known.
She sweeps the wide earth, every corner and
zone
And this queer old woman, so hated and feared,
Most beautiful children has nurtured and
reared
She carefully hides them away out of sight
And keeps them by daytime and guards them
by night.
She cradles them gently on earth's tender
breast
And lulls them with breezes from south and
from west
Until their sweet beauty is ripe for display.
When two charming maidens young April and
May,
Call out the dear children to play in the sun
And then claim the work the old woman has
done.

nal service Office in this city. which
runs affairs generally in the Northern
Mississippi valley, is upon record as de-

The wind has been high throughout
the storm and in some instances has
shown remarkable pertiracity in cling

hours kept up 50 miles per hour gait
lat various points in South Dakota.
The falling temperature is general in
the lake region and upper Mississippi
valley, but there has been no heavy fall
of snow east Of Iowa. In the latter state
the sleet and snow has been very heavy
and the reports indicate lower temper
allure and more snow. @
In Western Kansas there has been
much trouble because of the snow
packing across the tracks and trains
have been held at eating stations until
the tracks can be cleared. The storm
lis practically over in this locality and
the sky is clearing. ~
Nebraska has had the same expert

Opal novelty is in feathers. Ostrich
