And Mr. Coon says: ''Oh there's some--

And with that they gave a great hur-

grabbed their stockings and turned
around just in time to see Mr. Dog jump
right straight out of his chair for he
did not know where he was the least bit
in the world.
"Oh. there's Santa Claus himself"
they all shouted together, and made
rush for their rooms, for they were
scared almost to death. But it all
dawned on Mr.. Dog in a second, and he
commenced to laugh and hurrah to
think what a joke it was on everybody.
And when they heard Mr.. Dog laugh
they knew him right away, and they all
came up and looked at him, and he had
to tell just what he'd done and every
thing; so they emptied out their Stock
ings on the floor and ate some of the
presents and looked at the others, until

BALZAC'S QUEER TROUSERS
[F,rorn the london Onlooker.l

from the London OnlOoker.J
In a little village in the heart or Tour
aine there still lives a small, brown, old
man whose great pride it is that he
once had the honor Of making pair of
breeches for Balzac. When he trotted
up TO the chateau where Balzac was
staying. he found the great author writ
ing novel in the garden, staring wild
" about him, while he covered sheet
after sheet of paper with words for
which a world was waiting. The tailor
was forced to interrupt the progress of
the book in order to take the measure
ment of the writer. Balzac submitted
to the operation with a good grace, and
made only one remark to the operator.
This remark was enigmatic- NO feet!'
he said, and returned to his work. The
tailor, in great perplexity. inquired of a
servant what was meant, and was in
formed that Balzac wished to have
trousers made without openings at the
bottom. so that he could sit and write in
them without having to put on slip

GOOD EXPORT DEMAND
Main Bull Factor in a Strong
Wheat Market.
MAY 11-8at-4 CENTS UP
Corn and Oats improved
Provisions Better.

Chicago. Feb. IA good export demand
overshadowed other bullish factors in a
strong and active wheat market today
Ma closing 11sGA over yesterday. Corn
clos ed sake and oats &c improved. Pro
visions at the close were a shade better
than yesterday.
May wheat opened 1kG5sc over yester-
days close at 67sqQc, supported by the
Paris advance and prediction Of cold
wave. The market touched 671zc and the
ascent began which was continued TO the
end. Trade was active and the market
broad. Liverpool turned strong and adj
yanced on reports of weather me1acing
to the crop IN France, and 1t was feared,
the same cables reported, that Argentine
shipments would be delayed The con-
ditions were a support to the local mar
ket The most cheerful news, however,
from a bull standpoint, was that the e1-
port demand, which, day after Day, has
been labelled slack, had improved
In confirmation OF this New York report
ed SO loads taken for export, while $1,000
bushels were sold here for direct export.
The price for May was steadily bid up
to 6SSsa1ac, at which II closed, 1lsQAc
over yesterday. Primary receipts were
AL, 900 bushels, compared with $4,000
bushels last year. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and -four were equal 10
2s7,0 bushels.
The corn market was strong and active
the greater part Of the session-and
shorts bought literally. The main infiu-
ence in the strength was the report that
the Argentine crop was suffering from
extreme heat. Liverpool was higher on
this Country offerings were small Lo-
cal receipts amounted to $40 cars. May
closed 3sd1ec over yesterday at 3312Q@sc.
The oats market was strong, but trade
was dull. The strength of other grains
was the main factor. Receipts here were
17S cars May closed &c up at 259sc.
In the face OF heavy hog receipts and
lower prices al the yards, provisions
showed strength which excited the ad-
rniration Of traders. Liverpool was well
up on product and the strength Of grain
was a factor. Offerigs were light and
the demand excellent, particularly from
,one influential concern, which naturally
caused buying by lesser interests. The
market was lower at the starr, rejecting
the heavy hog receipts, but this was more
than recovered. May pork closed Phase
over yesterday at S1L1215; May lard
shade down al s.. 12d15, and May ribs at
21aG5c over yesterday at IS. 00q6.G2t5.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow;
Wheat 80 cars, corn 100 cars, oats 200
hogs, 5000 head.
