1T CURED IMPRACTICAL" JOKING.
A Hunting Experience Near the Sac
River That Points & Moral.

River That Points e Moral.
"GertciAen," remarked John Rannells
of New York to a party of friends in the
lobby OF the Midland hotel who were
talking of practical" jokes, Il was some
thing OF practical joker myself once,
but an experience had in southern Mis-
sou1i cffectually cured me.
II had accepted an invitation to be
one of crowd of congenial spirits who
were going TO the Sac river for two
weeks fishing. In the party were doc
tors. Ia Uycrs. merchants and contractor
whom l shall call Stevens. Stevens was
a man about 10 years old, young for his
age and experience, a good story teller,
brave, and fearless, save in this one thing
he had natural abhorrence for snakes.
I'll never make a good hunter he said
to me while on the journey to camp, be
cause I'm always looking for snakes in
stead of birds"
"His fear of snakes was known to sew
eral of the party, and they determined to
have some fun at his expense. We had
been in camp about three days when one
of us caught garter snake. That night
they determined on the joke to be played
on Stevens. They were to put the snake
in his coat pocket and then ask him for
some article which would make him put
his hand in his pocket.
..~' The snake had been duly installed in
the pocket of Stevens coat. There was a
smile on the face of every man. Now for
the sport. ;.

The CHILD AND THE WORLD.

Great wide, beautiful, wonderful world,
With the wonderful water round you curled,
And che wonderful grass upon your breast,
Word, you are beautifully dressed.
The wonderful air is me,
And the wonderful WING, is shaking the tree;
1t walks on the water and whirls the mills
And talks to itself on the tops OF the hills
You, friendly Garth, how far 10 you co.
With the wheatfets that nod and the rivers that
flow,
With cities and gardens and cliffs and isles
And people upon you for thousands OF miles!
All, you are great, and am so small;
tremble to think of you, world, at all.
And yet when l said my prayers today \
whisper inside of me seemed to say,
''You are more than the earth, though you are
such dot;
You can love and think, and the Garth cannot!'

a decided want Of good breeding. They
may talk of dress, the theater. music

Trade in oats was not heavy, but
that market showed a deal of inherent
strength when the other grains were
dropping. The rains. which in the

Provisions early in the session were

CHICAGO, July 17.-F'rom a break
occasioned by liquidation in corn early.
wheat to-day recovered on a demand
from the northwest and covering by
shorts, closing firm, September "a over
yesterday. Corn broke because of
more favorable reports as a result of
recent rains, but recovered some of it..
September closing 13s down. Oats
closed a lower, September pork 55c,
September lard 121aQ15c, and Septem-
Der ribs 121&@15c depressed.
September wheat opened Il higher
at 771ac to 773sc because Liverpool
showed but small decline in the face
Of the drop here yesterday and because
receipts were small. Then the market
lost its nerve because corn was making
such swift break for the bottom.
September following the opening work.
ed up to 77A and then proceeded for
the tall timber, not stopping till Sep
TENDER was selling at 75hc. The
liquidation was heavy during the
slump and the demand scattered. Hav-
ing used up nearly an hour in accom-
plishing the speculative mind became
more composed and concluded to buy
some. Shorts covered to secure profits
and some bull support which sent the
market in an upward course. This
was helped along by renewed buying
from the northwest and a decrease in
the worlds visible OF 2,912,000 bushels,
according to Bradstreet's. September
rallied to 7712 and shortly afterward
closed with most OF the advance held
% over yesterday at Tx @77ssc The
rally was helped to a degree by the
partial recovery OF corn. The foreign
news was bearish, France reporting a
loss of only 10 per cent, while Rou-
mania was said to have the largest
crop in her history There was a
break ait Paris and at Antwerp New
York reported % loads taken for ex-
port Seaboard elearances in wheat
and -four were equal to 900 bushels,
Receipts at primary points were 49,
600 compared with 100000 last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 240
cars against 104 last year and TAI a
year ago. Receipts here were % cars,
AZ of which were graded contract
Southwest receipts were heavy. The
gravity of the Chinese situation and
the likelihood of the grain carrying
service being curtailed by the taking
Of ocean steamers for transporting
troops excited some consideration.
The corn market made hollow and
empty show of having recovered some
what by the bear drubbing given it
yesterday, but the exhibition lasted for
only moment at the opening. Long
corn from the four corners of the
earth, to permit hyperbole, was SHOW
eled into the pit in immense quanti-
ties and inside of an hour, the marker
brought up over &c under yesterdays
close. The occasion for the slump was
to be found in reports of excellent crop
prospect sas result of recent heavy
rains. In dunking for the bottom the
price got well within shipping basis
and buying by shippers and cash peo-
pie, together with the usual covering
by shorts for profits caused a reaction
and part of the loss was regained, Civ
ing the close an appearance of f1rmness
compared with conditions earlier in
the session. September sold between
