HARD ON THE AGENT
Young Lawyer Proved That BE
Was Boss of His Room.
Heal Estate Man Who Thought other
wise I'm the End Was Rather Glad
90 Admit That IL Was the
Renters Castle.

The young lawyer who lives in
hall bedroom ON the South side, says
the Chicago Tribune, was much IN
censed the other evening when, com
ing home from the Office from which
during the day he carries papers
over to the county building, he saw
displayed in the one window OF ms
small room large sign proclaiming
that the flat of which his room was
an infinitesimal part was for rent.
The fat was TO be vacated on the
first of the month, and the young
man was to leave at that time and
hunt up a new home. But he had
his hall bedroom engaged and paic
for up TO that date. He had reao
enough Blackstone to believe that
every mans home was his castle. he
wasn't quite sure that blackstone
would have regarded a front haI
bedroom as a castle, but, then, front
hall bedrooms were not known In
Mr.. Blackstone's day.
He carefully examined the sign
that the real estate agent had put
in his room. and then he took his

red ink and put in large letters
across the face of the For Rent
card these words: mo hot water in
this fiat"
This was the truth, and for that
reason it was doubly distasteful &c
the real estate agent when he saw II
next day. He Immediately took the
card out and put in a fresh one. Their
he left a note on the table which
was addressed: "To the tenant OF
this hall bedroom" The note was
short and to the point. 1t said: Kind.
ly leave TO Rent sign in this room
alone"
The young lawyer took the new
"For Rent" card and drew skull
ard cross bones on it, and under
meath the words Beware" When
the agent saw this the next day he
roared like a mountain lion. He

Subject of Protest by BufIdinr

The Building Trades Council has written
to the District Commissioners protesting
against the employment of unskiled labor
on District work, such as school, station
and market houses. The council says 1t
has been informed that timers and paint
ers are being employed at a rate of wages
much less than are paid by outside employ
Ing painters and timers thereby encourag
ing unskilled mechanics IN preference to
skilled ones.
The council deems 1t Of great Importance
that If the District is to do its own work
1t should be done by the best skilled me-
chanics, instead of those who have only
partly learned their trade.
g. b. Coleman, the district superintend-
ent of repairs, has reported to the Com
missioners that the department Is paying
identically the same rate of wages for all
classes of mechanics that was paid last

CORN CROP MUCH INJURED.
August Report From the Department
of Agriculture.

Serious injury to the corn crop of the
country is reported In a letter sent to the
Department of Agriculture by Secretary
Wilson.
The corn crop is very seriously injured in
all the great corn n-growing states" said Mr..
Wilson. The spring was wet, and much
OF the crop was planted late on account of
the land being saturated. This prevented
vigorous growth until the ground dried and
warmed up. 1t also resulted in shallow
planting and inclined the roots to remain
near the surface until the dry hot weather
came when the plant was not in the best
condition to resist. Where the land was
well under-drained. naturally or artiicially
the best growth is found. 1t Is strikingly
observable that most crops are under
sized, stunted and not such as could sus-
tain heavy yields of grain. This Is the
case IN the best corn regions, such as the
route from Chicago to Burlington. Iowa,
which 1 attribute to delayed growth in the
spring"
The August report of the statistIcian of
the Department Of Agriculture shows the
following averages of condition on August
i: Corn. b4O: spring wheat, SO.3; oats, 10 @;
barley, $50; spring rye. S3.6; buckwheat,
