NO USE FOR CRUTCHES.

Mrs. James Kell, of e33 Tenth street,
N. E., Washington, d. c., writes in let
ter Of recent date, as follows:
"a few months ago had an attack CT
Sctatic rheumatism in it's worst form.
The pain was so intense that became
completely Frustrated, and was for a long
time perfectly helpless. The attack was
an unusually severe one and my condi-
ton was regarded Is being very danger
Gus. was attended by one Of the most
able doctors in Washington City, who is
also member of the faculty Of leading
medical college here. He told me to con-
tinue his prescription and 1 would get
well. After having it filled twelve times
without receiving the slightest benefit,
declined to continue his treatment any
longer. Having heard 8. s. s. (Swift's
Specific) recommended for Rheumatism,
I decided, almost in despair, however, to
give the medicine trial, and after had
taken few bottles YVES sble to hobble

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, May 21-After hours of
flrmness because of the dryness in the
northwest, wheat weakened to-day be-
cause it looked as if this condition
might be changed. The market opened
firm. Cables were higher and the
seed sprouting rain still remained a
stranger to the northwest. Traders
were disposed to stay on the safe side
until it developed whether there was
to be prolonged drouth IN the north
west. July opened 3sc higher at 673s
@12c, touched 671ac and for hours
chung around the mark. During the
afternoon some messages from the Da-
kotas and adjoining territory came in
and announced that it looked like rain.
Vague as this was it was sufficient
combined with the corn weakness, to
cause selling. AS there was little de-
mand July slumped sharply to 6615c.
The close was easy, July 3s@12c down
at 665sc. The cash business was slow
New York reported IL loads taken for
export Clearances in wheat and -four
was equal to 337 900 bushels. Primary
receipts were $4,000 bushels, compared
with 549, 900 bushels last year. Mime
apolis and Duluth reported 1856 cats
against 1928 last week and 4S1 year
ago. Local receipts were II cars, none
of contract grade.
While July corn was declining in the
session, the market was active, but at
the bottom it became quiet and stay
ed so to the end. July opened shade
under Saturday at 3S to 37Bc and sold
off to 36%c Cables from Liverpool
were weak, the weather favorable and
country offerings, especially from To-
wa, reported much larger. These were
the factors. The market received some
support at BIC but finally this was sat-
isfed and the market sagged a little
further. The close was weak, July rs
lower at $3.50. Receipts here were 121
cars.
Oats were moderately active but
weaker in sympathy with corn and be-
cause of favorable weather. Country
offerings were also larger. July sold
between 22Ac and 227sc, closing "a q 1ac
lower at 217sc. Receipts were I'll cars.
Provisions were quiet and rather
weak because hog receipts were very
heavy. Prices at the yards were lower.
Following the opening, offerings were
liberal and the market eased off. There
was fair demand for lard. The close
was easy. July pork sold between
$1170 and $1150, and closed 25c under
Saturday at $11.521a. July lard be-
tween $6.971a and $6.921a, closing 71a@
1Oc down at s6.921s@6.95; and July ribs
between $685. and S6571a, with the
close 10c reduced at S6.5715@660.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 81 cars; corn, 225 cars; oats,
200 cars; hogs, 900 head.

The markets to-day were very diSap-
pointing, the public having failed to
come in despite of the inspiration OF
the news from Mafeking. Dealers had
loaded up with stocks, particularly
Americans, in anticipation of public
buying, but getting no response, they
realized to-day with the result OF pro-
ducing general heaviness. Business
was also light. The weakness In Amer
leans was accumulated by New YORK
failure to support these securities ana
by stale rumors about the plague
about San Francisco. Copper shares
were good, affected by the rise in the
price of metal, but they relapsed in
sympathy with the fall in Americans.
Consols were depressed by the new
talk of another war loan. The bank
received $4,000 gold from Malta, and

THE HALF FORGOTTEN sPlNEr.

Beneath the %raftors, black aud bare.
The ancient spinct stands.
The spiders o'cf its yellow keys
Have stretched their Hlmv strands.
Around il, weak and tottcring ir&tns
The airy cobVcb- blow
In lieu Of silkcu tapestries
That moldered long ago..
But windy nights a quaint Old tune
Comes stealing down the stair,
For then she wakes the keys again,
a ghost with powdered hair.
The mice go dancing in and out
To melodies she sung
when the fashion trod the minuet
And Washington was young.
Around her on the garrett floor
Her singing satins trail;
A haunting sorrow dims her eyes,
Her face is proud and pale;
But when climb the crcating stair
The pusty moonlight fails
On nothing but the withcrcd herbs
That hang against the walls.
And yet the spinct trcmbles st1l
To that forgotten tune,
Tho ashes Of a crunhled rose
Upon the keys are strcwn,
And yonder Ghost below the caves
Her gown Of satin holds,
With sprigs Of broken lavender
Between its faded folds.
