IFrom the AtchisOn Globe.1
A man who lives by his wits, usually
lives by dishonesty.
Who is right? No two people seem
to agree on anything.
It has been our experience that an
editor often needs editing.
Every ten industrious men are COM
PEELED to support schemer.
This town is improving: we haven't
heard man cuss it in three or four
months.
Don't abuse some people for not look
ing well, because some people just nat
urally can't look well.
Watch out that your popularity is
not due to the fact that you tell a piece
Of gossip surprisingly well.
There are five members in a certain
Atchison family, and every one de-
mands a different drink at the table.
The complaint is frequently made by
married women that their husbands
don't compliment them. Have they ever
tried good cooking on them?
Even women who claim that they I'M

like other reformers. He now proposes
to start a Kin Journal, and have it sold
on the streets by women, as the War
Cry and other reform publications are
now sold.
Admiral Dewey no doubt thought it
all over carefully. and concluded that
it was a good thing" to run for presi-
dent. 1t turns out that he did exactly
what he should not have done. Your
mind does not seem to be of much use,
after all. All of us frequently think over
propositions, and then do exactly what
we should not do. Don't laugh too much
at poor old Dewey: you have no doubt
made the same mistake he made.
It makes no difference how a man
gets his burden: it IS usually one in

that there is some wonder that more
! attention is not paid to solving kin pro-
| blems with intelligence. Shiftlessness

who fails to provide for his old age will
some day become a kin problem. Some

thinks they should.

Admiral Dewey's reversal Of himself

THE PRICE OF CORN.

TFrom the Minneapolis Tribune.1
A Minneapolis commission house has
issued a circular to it's friends and Gus
toners in the Northwest. in which it
takes the position that corn is bound to
advance until it reaches a point where
il win stimulate a much larger move
ment from first hands; that corn is
worth SO cents a bushel to feed to hogs
and steers; that every corn-c consuming
industry in the land is running at full
capacity, so there is nothing in the
present price to check the demand in
that direction; that our farm reserves
are less in proportion to our require
ments than in 81, when corn sold at rs
cents a bushel. Additional reasons for
believing in higher prices for this cereal
are thus succinctly stated:
Because our secondary stocks in
country elevators and cribs are the
smallest in years, fully 10000 900 less
than last year.
Because our visible supply is small
5000 coo less than last year, and a large
proportion already sold for export.
Because stocks at lake ports and in
the hands Of eastern dealers are the
smallest in five years.
Because the amount on ocean passage
IS only 100000 bushels, 100000 less
than last year.
Because stocks in the United King
dom and on the continent are very
small, less than 5000 in Liverpool-nOt
one weeks consumption.
Because the cOnsumptive demand in
this country and abroad is the largest
ever known, and the natural growth Oh
unprecedented business activity
Because for the first time in years We
have no competition in the markets Of
the world, the Danubian and Argentine
crops being complete failures.
Because we are in an area of intense
speculative activity and the same forces
