SENTENTIoUs SAYINGS

The wings that riches have are nearly
always used in going instead of coming.
Kind words never die. If they did prob
ably they would be more appreciated.
The only period in woman's life when
she gives any thought to dress is between
the cradle and the grave.
Repentance is often COMPOUNDED with a
determination not to get caught again.
A man could learn a great many things
IL he didn't think he already knew them.
Professionals always beat amateurs,
That's why widows invariably distance
young girls in matrimonial races.
When a widower courts a widow they
are both in favor of a new trial.
1t Is always surprising how much deeper
hole Is after one gets into It,
About the only thing man wants after
he gets all the money he needs is more.

curve that would make a professional
baseball pitcher turn green with envy

Physical Points Of a Soldier

The average volunteer rejected on his
physical these days Is a very much aston
ished person. He has been accustomed to
consider himself as representing, pretty
nearly at all events, the beau ideal of man
hood, and his surprise is great when a cold
eyed military surgeon picks flaws all over
him. He is too tall, perhaps. Not that six
feet and bit over is an Objectionable stat
ure, but very tall men are apt to lack depth
of chest which is quality indispensable
in soldier. Depth of chest means lung
capacity, which implies endurance, march
ing ability, etc.
The surgeon inspects the teeth Of the
would-be recruit, as If he were horse, and
turns him down If they are bad. Good
teeth are required for the proper chewing
of food; defective ones mean dyspepsia. If
1t be true that an army travels on its
stomach" the, Individual fighting man Is
handicapped by trouble with his digestive
apparatus. May be the volunteer Is too
short or too fat. Plumpness is we'll enough,
but the war department wants no fat men,
because they lack strength, endurance and
activity. Besides, fat is symptom of
physical degeneracy, and Is apt to mean
weakness of the heart.
likely to be amazed at finding himself re-
jected because his feet are excessively fiat;
yet the requirements are carried to such
an extreme as this. 1t seems that very
flat-footed soldier does not make a salts
factory infantryman, because he cannot
march WELL Negroes, Of course, are ex-
tremely flat-footed, but data are lacking
to show how their marching powers COM
pare with those of whites. During the
civil war they did some pretty good march
ing, certainly. Necessarily, the recruit must
have proper feet. and even his toes must
answer to certain specifications. An in
growing nail. or even a corn, will count
seriously against him. Bow-legged and
knock-kneed men are Objectionable, partly
because they do not look well. me military

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, May 25.-There was some re-
coyery in wheat today from the depression
and weakness which ruled yesterday. The
Liverpool cables came higher, which was
quite unexpected. in view of the recent
weakness, and suggested manipulation, es-
all lower. Trade was dull, but the late
bearish news and the bearish statistics
seemed to have been partly forgotten, and
there was good deal of profit taking. An
other reason for strength wasthe nervous
feeling over May and the general expecta-
ton that Letter wus sure to cut the price
of that month materially higher. The in
ference was that all the futures would be
bulishly affected by the excitement and
high prices in May, and this, with the
higher prices abroad, started shorts to COW
erng and added somewhat to the advance
ment. There was an effort to put more
vigor and strength into July, and the effort
was in measure successful, being aided
by the general expectation of bull manipu-
lation by the party In control of May and
June. The weather was much cooler, but
quite favorable for growing wheat. Liv-
erpool cables are I'D higher. July opened
1a0l3c higher at 1.10@1. 12ia, sold off to 1.09A,
then rallied to 1.12M at the close Septem-
Der closed at 8Sas@SSlac, a gain of 1Ac. May
ranged between 1.57 and Ito, the latter the
closing figure.
Corn was firm at the opening. Realizing
caused loss of the small advance until
near the close, when it rallied closing Mc
higher.
Oats were helped by short covering, July
closing A@asc higher.
The firmness of the speculative articles in
provisions today was lard. There was a
good deal of commission house selling of
pork, and some of 1t was on stop-loss or
ders. Pork shows a loss of Be, and ribs

WATER WAS SATURATED
What an Eastern Temperance Lecture
Got in a Kansas Drink

A temperance lecturer from Boston was
travelling westward over the Santa Fe, and
whenever he met any Of the other passen-
gers he soon commenced to talk temper

lecturer fell in with a native of western
Kansas.
"This is Kansas" remarked the native
of the land of sunny skies.

uor men. and are now travelling in evil

NEW YORK. May 25.-It was day of

the thirsty man.
The temperance lecturer took 1t, put the

without removing 1t. When he was through

lips.

The bears were thus encouraged to more
vigorous measures to bring about de-
cline. Their attack was directed against
the specialties with q view to uncovering
stop-loss orders. This they succeeded in
doing in Metropolitan Street Railway, To-
bacco and one or two other specialties.
Declines in these stocks ranged from one
to four points, and in demand railways ex-
tended to point. No general liquidation
was induced, however. and there was some
covering at the decline. so that the market
rallied and closed dull and firm. Manhat-
tan and some of the Vanderbilts and the
coalers closed higher, and Third Avenue
and Great Northern preferred continued to
show conspicuous strength. Otherwise net
losses were the rule. From the speculative
