Chicago News.
There is a certain young lawyer prac-
ticing over in the criminal cOurt-a youth
who yearns for fame and glory. few
days ago the lawyer begged a newspaper
friend to give him advice whereby he
could get his name in print and thus
receive a ADVERTISEMENT and. introduction
to the general public.
'I'll give you straight tip said the
reporter. You are In that big case before
Judge Umpteradum, aren't you?"
Yes. But all l have to do is to lug
the law books. The older lawyers do all
the talking and get all the reputation.
They're had their pictures in the news

mentioned the fact that / am living
Easiest thing in the world spoke
the reporter. "Objeet to one of the judges
ruling this afternoon and get up a scrap
with the old man. He may fine you for
contempt and he may sit on you hard, but
the trick ought to get you into print.
IL it goes far enough you might get q
two-column picture"
The lawyer went to his task with i'm
patient joy. His senior partners allow
ed him to do a little questioning of a
witness, whereupon he proceeded to ask
questions that brought a sharp inter-
Iuption from the judge. Unawed, however,
the youth kept at his querying.
IL have already said the Judge, in
stern accents, ruled that such questions
are foreign to the case and their an
swers are utterly inadmissible''
The young man glared at the Judge His
opportunity had come. In the room he
noticed five reporters. He could not es-
cape fame now-it. was simply forced
upon him.
Your Honor he spoke in terms of
whitening severity" your ruling Is alb
sIrd upon its face, and should not be
tolerated in any court of justice I will
add TO this that the ruling plainly stamps
your honor as bull-headed lobster"
1t cost him $40 and baliff ran him out
of the court room, but he paid the money
and went out gleefully. Fame had come
upon him. He grabbed the morning pa
pers the next day with eagerness and
this was what he read in the las para

THE STOCK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE board room
OF the stock exchange was almost de-
serted, and there seemed to be an abso-
lutte lack of buying demand so that even
insignificant offers carried the level CT
prices down. The few traders present
seemed more disposed to sell stocks in
anticipation of an unfavorable bark
statement and on the general principal
that prices will yield in a dull market
An idea of the narrowness of the mar
ket is given by the fact that during the
first hour there were just two transac-
tons recorded in st. Paul, which was tt
more notable because of its good state
ment of gross earnings for the second
week in June. The buying of the Flower
group, which has been persisted In for
the last few days, in the face of the dull
ness in the rest of the market, Was aban-
doned, and these stocks were allowed 10

There has been an advance in the price
of wheat the past week, ranging from
IA cents to cents per bushel, according
to locality. The advance has been due
to various causes. Principal among
those was, perhaps, the renewal OF crop
damage reports, which were of the con-
vincing sort, and carried with them the
somewhat doubtful weight Of the govern
ment report. 1t is said that the gov
eminent crop report can be taken to
mean almost anything that will please
the man who reads it, but this Is largely
in the nature of commercial joke. There
Is no Disgusting the fact that the report
has It's immediate bearing upon prices,
as 1t has had the past week. In addi-
ton, however, to the damage reports and
the government statement there came
other news that had telling effect upon
the wheat market Prices in foreign
markets took an upturn and there was
no let-up to it after it once started. That
feature, perhaps, did more to strengthen
the hands of the bulls than did either
of the other influences that were at
work upon the market. At any rate,
wheat Is now in a stronger position than
it has been for many weeks, and unless
there Is some unforeseen change in the
situation the bulls will probably hold
control for the week.
Corn and oats have shared in the
strength of the grain market, oats, as a
rule, leading the way. Corn is stronger
than it has been at any time since the
talk of scarcity of supplies in farmers
hands and the poor quality of the grain
In store. Oats are also in active de-
mand, and the grain market, as a whole,
is in bullish humor.
