Hogs Today.
Fair Demand for Wheat. But
Trading Was Light..0ats

High Hog Prices - Cattle
Steady and Higher.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Light Argentine
shipments of wheat created some appre-
hension in the minds of the shorts to-
day and as result there was fair de-
mand at the opening, with but limited
offerings. The volume of business, how
ever. was small. December opened a
shade to A@% of cent higher at 71A
TO Hs@71la. During the first half hour
OF trading fluctuations were confined to
the opening range. Argentine ship
rnents for the week were 168, 600 bushels,
compared with 3S6,000 bushels last week
Renewed covering by shorts carried
December up to 72@721s. but later on
selling by northwest there was reac-
ton to 71A@715s The close was u
higher, at 719s@71A.
Firmer cables impaired strength to
corn and the opening was higher, with
but light trading, the demand coming
largely from the timid shorts. Decem-
Der opened rs to y of a cent higher at
561s to 56as, but on the lack of any ma
terial support prices declined to 56A q
563s.
Later the market advanced to SIN on
shorts covering. after reacting to 562
and the close was firm A@7s higher, at
56N@57.
Oats opened steady, with fair trade.
The f1rmness in wheat was the main bull
factor December opened unchanged at
35@S5s, but with corn declined later to
34A.
Provisions opened firmer on higher
prices for hogs, the highest figure of the
season being paid today at the stock
yards for good to choice droves. The
volume of business. however was small,
with no offerings of any account.

With the church closed to him Dr.
Thomas was not without a strong fol-
lowing, and his next sermon was
preached to these from the stage of
Hooley's Theater. This was the begin
ming Of the Peoples Church. which now
fills McVicker's Theater every Sunday
morning, and whose influences have
been widening for more than a score of
years. DR.. Thomas is in his SEVENTEEN
year. He to-day is one Of the most lib
eral Of Christian teachers. He is reach
ing out for men, irrespective Of creed.
He often says: "When first began to
preach we preachers We're fighting each
other so hard we had no strength left
with which to fight the devil"
In the pulpit DR.. Thomas is striking
figure. His speech is slow and meas
ured. He has no tricks of oratory, no
gesticulations, nothing theatrical. Only
as he warns to his subject his speech
quickens and his voice rises in his earn
estness. His sermons are clear, lucid,
and finished. and when one has gone
out from his church he finds that he
has absorbed a lesson.

new chapter had been added to the his

The series took" at once; never since
the day Of "Punch in the presence of

in elevated cars craned their necks to

entire train for the same purpose. Chill

verses to each other, till, from the
naughty Mayor down to the modest

usual in giving the history Of town to

ORIGIN oF&RAo TIME.

One Ben Harvey Said to Have Invented
a 1t and Its Name at Louisville.
The approaching end of rag time
suggests the true story of the origin of
the NAME" said music publisher. 1T
has never been printed. About ten
years ago young fellow named Ben
Harvey went to party given by color
ed folks in suburb of Louisville.
While he was there two darkies, who
were experts on the banjo, began play
ing.
while they were playing Harvey no.
ticed that the rhythm produced by the
two banjos was peculiar, but very
catchy. So after a while, when called
upon to play something, Harvey ran
his fingers carelessly over the keys of
the piano and tried to initiate the time
made by the two banjos.
AT first he failed, but before the
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from popular songs play.
! ed in this fashion. One of the darkies
who had performed on the banjo be-
came suddenly interested in Harney's
playing. Approaching Harvey he in
quired:
"'Marsa Ben, wha' am yo' playin
dar? Dat am de funniest kim OBJ tune
Use ebber heerd'
II don't know what it is myself, ,
replied Harvey, in an offhanQ way. 4
suppose if 1 had a dress suit on, like
some Of these actors at the show,
might give it a nice, fashionable name
But as it is I can't think of any name
In these rags and you will have to lei

1.-The darkey sized Harvey from head
to foot. Harney's clothes were neat
and fitted him we'll. The negro
thought the argument a poor one and
said:
What's the diffrunce wha' kim oh
rags yo' plays in, Marsa Ben? Yo' kin
allus git er name TO- it. Use tells vel
Marsa Ben, dat All ain very much in
lobe wild dat tune"
about week later there was an.
other party in the neighborhood. Har.
ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together, playing
all sorts of tunes. The same darkey
who a week previous wanted to know
the name of the measure Ben was play.
ing abruptly arose and, turning to the
guests with a merry laugh, said:
"'Ladies an ge'man. Marsa Ben

A strong interest soon sprang up as
to the location and environment of

excellent map was published, and the
territory was named Shining State.
SpOtless Town, in Sparkling County,
was designated as the capital.

of water courses, hills and plains. 1t
had, however, one disadvantage, that
Of proximity to a most unsalubrious

scribed its character. It was, never
theless, but short time before the con-
trast with this unpromising section be-
came beneficial to the citizens of Spot

houses built by persons who were glad
of the opportunity to escape from such
places as Grimeville. Dingy Village,
and that branch of Muddy River known
as Rusty Fork.

Comnlaint of a Golf Wido over

Concerning golf the story is told that
a man who took but little interest in his
wife's exploits with the clubs, was
aroused from the fog of his business by
hearing her name continually coupled
with a certain colonel. She was al
ways playing with this colonel, who did
not seem a very polite person, for he
never allowed her to beat him. Still,
the husband did not like this constant
association. He began to be alarmed
with the idea that the colonel's attrac-
lions might be as irresistible as his
play. He plunged into the fray, and
taxed his wife with the colonel. She
denied Indignantly, with tears. They
tumbled about in web of angry words
till at last light dawned on her, and she
burst out laughing. Then she explain

spouse-what golf readers have already
