RAT WITH A WOODEN LEG
How an Inventive and Humane Boy
Fitted Out His Captive

A rat with wooden leg is a curiosity,
as curiosities go nowadays Yet such an
animal can be seen any day at the resi-
dence of a man named Dugmore, in the
southwestern section of the city. About a
month ago Willie Dugmore, a lad of IL
years, found the little rodent in trap in
the cellar. His first impulse was to brain
the pest with baseball bat, but the rat
looked at him so peadingy that Willie S
heart was touched. and he decided to take
the trap to an adjoining vacant lot and
lberate the animal. This he did, but in
stead of scampering off, as he expected,
the rat limped painfully up to him and
began to lick his hand. Willie then dis
covered that one of the animals legs had
been almost severed by the trap.
Taking the rat home, he cut the leg off
and then bandaged the wound, using as a
liniment little vaseline. He then put the
rat into cage and nursed it for a week.
He then removed the bandage and found
that the wound had completely healed
The rat was, however, unable to walk, and
Willie decided that he would make for it a n
artificial leg. Going down to the cellar,
he obtained piece of pine, and after some
whiting, succeeded in making a leg. This
he fastened on with string, and was de-
lighted to see that his plan was entirely
successful. The rat is now the family pet.
and can be seen any day hobbling about
the Kitchen or teasing a little Irish terrier
of which it has made lifelong friend

Iron Trade Conditions

1.-THE iron trade is between hay and grass"
says the Railway Review. "Those who are
behind the scenes are willing enough to ad-
init there is more business in pigeon holes
and in constructing engineers and archi-
tects' offices than there has been for years,
but these authorities are retcent when
asked to guess when the rush will come.
Railway people are waiting for more vigor
and for settling down of the good condi-
tions. Agricultural people are buying freely
manufacturing interests are spending con-
siderable money on mill and factory equip
ments. Should these great interests resolve
on an aggressive instead of a conservative
policy the long talked of conditions would
arrive, viz, those of firmer and higher
prices and a demand that would promptly
absorb the production of furnaces based on
12.OOO,000 output. While the country Is
practically there now, the line is slack. Very
little will make 1t taut, and the difference
means remunerative marginsI as against
scant margins to 81 900 900, 900 of iron and
steel manufacturing capital"

Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, June 16.-There was small
bear panic today which caused an upward
rush of prices in the first hour such as has
not been seen on the stock exchange for
days. Blocks of 1000 shares and upwards
of leading stocks were snapped with avid
ity. The prominent specalties and the
grangers had the most conspicuous ad-
vances. but the strength was quite well dis
tributed in the list and gains in the rail-
roads were nearly uniform. After the OPEN
ing rush the market fell into dizziness and
drifted rather aimlessly below the high
point but without falling to the opening
level. The later transactions were limited
in volume and the closing was almost mani
mate but firm at the top. The absence of
any large general demand after the rush to
cover shorts, considered in connection with
yesterdays downward movement indicated
that the market is near the point of stabll-
ity. Yesterdays decline failed to dislodge
any large offerings. indicating that the sup
ply is firmly and strongly held. But there
was equally absence in effort on the inside
interest to>advance prices today, except in
special cases. The demand from the shorts
was very pronounced in tobacco, sugar,
Peoples gas and the grangers.
Rates for time money were quotably
higher, ranging from to 21a per cent for
sixty days and 3l2 per cent for six to eight
months. New York exchange at Chicago
also fell to 10 cents discount. Business was
not large in the bond market but the tend

framework and bought two panes of ordi-
nary window glass for the vision business.
This was a complete failure. The glass
didn't magnify and this being so the COW
was, if anything, worse off than before.
Did you ever look at anything through a
glass of beer? No? Well, just try it and
you'll be surprised at the magnifying prop
critics of the beer. 1t was by the merest
accident that 1 discovered the fact, and
then decided to utilize the discovery as
far as the COW was concerned. took out
the single glass in the useless spectacles
and got another frame made, in which In
serted two panes for each eye. These were
about an inch apart, and, having made the
thing absolutely liquid tight, filled the
space with beer.
1.-THE result was remarkable. No sooner
were the spectacles adjusted over the
cows nose than she kicked up her heels
in positive delight and scampered wildly
about the field. She is now the most clear
sighted COW on the farm. Naturally, feel
proud of my success, but honestly 1 may
tell you that from a financial standpoint
it would have been better for me to have
killed or sold the COW. Why? Well, I'll
tell you. News of this wonderful COW has
gone all over the city. The consequence is
that day after day curious people call at
my house to see the animal. They all
praise my ingenuity, as they call it, and
what can do but invite them in to refresh
ments and cigars? Since I planned the
scheme 1t has cost me at least ten gallons
of whisky and a score of boxes of cigars
to do the hospitality act. can't stand
this thing, and l must either sell the COW
or present her to dime museum"

Prices and Prospects Of the Trade In
Cereals

CHICAGO, June 16.-At the start ad-
vanced quotations from Liverpool and num-
erous crop damage reports, together with
the belief that Armour was likely to prove
stronger card for the bulls than Letter,
started wheat higher. The bear element
was for a time considerably demoralized
and the buying rush was quite pronounced.
September which closed yesterday at 72A.
found plenty of buyers at 1914 and some few
were even paid 1914. July sold up to S2l2, or
21s above where it left off last night. How
ever, both Chicago and Liverpool came so
under the influence of the immense pros
pective supplies of wheat, that Liverpool
commenced to topple and the bull contin-
gent here took fright and the buying came
to a sudden halt. Then there was rush
on the part of the early buyers to unload,
some to secure profits and some to get rid
of losses and the decline was more rapid
than the advance had been. At the close
July was u to q cents lower and September
1Ss to ~ cents down.
There was a strong opening in corn on I'M
favorable weather conditions, long corn
was for sale in apparently limitless
amounts, however, and the early advance
was more than lost. July closed Is cents
lower.
At the opening oats presented strong
front on unfavorable crop reports. but
eased off with wheat and corn closing y
cent lower. There was momentary firm
ness at the start in provisions under the in
tiuence of q strong opening of the grain
market. Packers and pit traders sold free
ly and prices broke badly. The market
dragged heavily and closed heavy with only
a moderate reaction from the bottom
prices. Pork is 121a cents lower and lard
and ribs each cents lower.

THE SECRETARY OF WAR
Should Be a Man in Whom the Publ
Has Full Confidence

The New York Times, in a vigorous edi-
torial, insists that the president should Sc
lect new secretary of war in place of
General Alger. Says the Times:
IF this war is to be seriously conducted,
1t behooves the president to provide him.
self with a serious secretary of war. He
carried for year the burden of a super
animated secretary of state, and finally re-
Iieved his administration of it only when
it had come very near to bringing about Sc
rious complications with foreign powers.
1t is necessary that much more summary
course should be taken in the case of Sec
rotary Alger than was taken in the case of
Secretary Sherman. Secretary Alger has
now been secretary Of war for a month in
time of war, and that is month too
long"
The Times undoubtedly voices the senti-
ment of a large majority Of the thinking
people of the country.
General Ager is political soldier. He
received the appointment CT secretary of
war in return for his liberal expenditure of
money and his party services in the CAM
paign of 1896. Alger has been for twelve
years candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for president. He is rich man. and
has unheaded his barrel each year of a
Republican presidential convention, with
the result that he received few votes for
president in several national conventions.
His delegates were usually picked up in
the southern states, where his arguments"
more readily prevailed, especially with the
colored delegations. His presidential pre-
tensions and longings have been the sub
jects of ridicule on the part of his party
press and politicians of influence and he
has never been really taken seriously until
President Mckinley rewarded him with
cabinet portfolio.
Had any serious thought of war existed
when the president formed his official FAM
ily Alger would very likely have been the
last man to be placed in charge of the war
department. He has managed that depart
ment in, opposition to the opinions OF the
best men in the army, and has by his course
done much toward demoralizing the army.
Alger has a little knowledge of military
matters, but that little knowledge has not
benefited the country. He Is not up to date
and is an invalid. He should be replaced
by a secretary of war in whom the country
would have perfect confidence.
In the civil war of 1861 the war depart
ment was presided over by Edwin M. Stan
ton. Such man is needed at the head of
that department today.-Syracuse Courier.
