was an extraordinary small short interest
at the beginning Of the advance and this
was hastily covered. Foreigners had
hedged against considerable cash stuff in
this market, but of course this kind of
shortage entailed no financial loss. Stories

parched spring wheat fields OF the great
northwest, where authorities declare not
one-third of the crop OF former years can
be harvested. A bumper winter wheat
crop has already been assured outside OF
Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. For the sat
isfaction Of those who may be in fear Of
starvation it may also be stated that the
visible supply of wheat in the public
granaries of the United States exceeds
45,OOOOOO bushels. These are the grains
OF comfort left to the bears, who also have
the assurance that every month in the
year records wheat harvest in some
country of the globe. But at present

When the sheriff Of Dakota county, Ne
braska, was apprised of the work Of the
81 South Dakota farmers in digging q
channel across Rninger's neck to make
short cut for the tortuous Missouri river
recently he Immediately dispatched posse
of deputies TO stop the unlawful work.
Among the posse members were bankers
and prominent business men. They went
fully armed, as it WAS expected deter
mined resistance would be made, but they
arrived too late. The last farmer had al
ready crossed into South Dakota before
the posse came in sight.
When the posse arrived they found the
swift current Of the river fast eating
WIDE and deeper channel across the neck
through which, the trench was dug. II is
only a question Of few hours when the
channel of the big river will be unalter-
ably changed and the farms on the fertile
peninsula will be part Of the domain Of
South Dakota.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
A well-known railroad man. who Is
also a city official, took an eastern
jaunt with his wife last month and
finally reached Bar Harbor. When he
stepped up to the clerk of the leading
fashionable hotel of the place he was
a little appalled, at the contemptuous
manner in which that magnificent
creature seemed to regard such paltry
trifles as hard-earned dollars.
"A room in the house for one week
will cost each of the occupants ST."
he remarked in an airy manner, as
he looked straight through the atmos-
phere just above the questioner's hat
And meals?"
Meals are s24 per week for each
person"
There was a brief silence. during
which the Cleveland man made rapid
mental calculation.
But before he could speak the clerk
again put in his oar.
"In addition to the other charges"
he remarked in voice as monotonous
as Dan Days, each guest must pay
$40 for the maid"
The Cleveland man smiled. He fan
cied he had the clerk this time.
why, we haven't any malj." he
chuckled.
II understand" said the clerk in his
iciest manner. But did not refer to
your maid. 1 referred to our maid.
Each guest Of the house will pay $40
per week for the services of the maid
in caring for the room occupied by said
guest"
The Cleveland man stared. He Is
familiar with hotels Of every 1escrip-
ton and in all sections OF the country
but he had never before run up against
quite so hard proposition. But he
