The Chanute Milling company offer
fine hard seed wheat for 70c per bu-
shell. Hard wheat -four is the only
kind used now in this part OF the
country and hard wheat must be
raised here or shipped in from the
west. Cream Of Wheat flour is made
from the best hard wheat and we are
paying 7oc per bushel for it, while
soft wheat is only bringing from 80 to
60c and It looks now as though there
would be more difference than that

WIVES OF FAMOUS MEN.

Many great men had curious expert
ences with their wives. The poet
Heine on the day after his marriage
drew up will, in which he bequeathed
all he possessed to his wife on the con
dition that she married again. He de
sired, he said, that at least one man
should regret his death. Fielding, the
novelist, married a serving maid. Sir
Thomas Moore's wife scolded him on
the eve of his execution. Milton had
trouble with both of his wives, nor was
his the monopoly of the martyrdom.
Hazlitt's wife cared nothing for his
ability. Her temper was intense and
the tragedy ofthe unsympathetic play
ed lTseIf to the bitter emf. AColeridge
left his wife and children without an
apology OF farewell and never would
see them again. Moliere, at tire age
of forty, married an actress, aged sew
enteen. She ran away from him.
married an innkeeper's daugh-
ter. He soon deserted her, and she
committed suicide. Alexander the
Great used his sword against women
rather than for them, and one his
favorite pastimes was beating his wives
with the fiat of his steel blade.

THE sPEAkERsHlP AGAIN.

1t is wonderful in these modern
times how much bluff is resorted TO and
how persistently it is used in every IN
dertaking, from game of poker to the
scarcely more exalted game of politics.
1t is now being used in the speaker
ship race by the Atlanta correspond
ents of several out of town papers who
are playing this game for all tits worth.
For instance they claim Mr.. Morris
OF Cobb will be overwhelmingly cleo
ted on the first ballot.
The truth is Mr.. Morris is hopeless
ly IN the minority. His main strength
is In north Georgia. He will get per
haps thirtyfve votes there. including
Fulton county; in western Georgia it
is said he will get seven; in eastern
Georgia four, while in southeast
Georgia and southwestern Georgia he
has comparatively no strength at all
His total strength is possibly less than
fifty votes. This estimate will not
miss it far.
The Times Recorder is not unfriend-
ly to Mr.. Morris, and really regards
him, as one of the most active and ag-
gressivs men in the house. His
political views and affiliations, however,
are hopelessly at variance with those Of
a very large majority of the house. He
has conducted an active, aggressive,
and admirable campaign, but either of
his opponents, if the other would with
draw, would defeat him oyerwhelm-
ingly.
The race is really between Mr..
George and Mr. Mitchell. In recent
editorial the Times Recorder endorsed
the candidacy of Mr., George, believing
then and now that he is the best equip
ped man in the house for the speaker
ship. 1t will be close between him and
Mr.. Mitchell on the first ballot, but
the chances are that Mr.. George Will
lead, But independently of whether
he leads or not, he will be elected ON
the second ballot, for it is unquestion-
ably true that the members Of the
house, with hardly an exception, recog-
nize his superior fitness for the office.

THINGS THAT PLEASE THEM.
A Man Wrote This.

A woman likes
To be called sensible.
To be complimented in being well
dressed.
To be told that she is fascinating.
To be told that she improves a MAI
by her companionship.
To depend on some man and pretend
she is ruling him.
To be treated sensibly and honestly,
and not as butterfly with no head or
heart.
To be loved and admired by man
who is strong enough to rule and sub
due her and make his way her way.
To find happiness in being ruled by
an intellect that she can look up to adj
miringly, and to one to whom her own
mind bows in reverence.

A Woman Wrote This.

A man is pleased
To have woman love him. To have
soft, gentle, magnetic hand alleviate
the pain of an aching head
AIo have woman's hand smooth away
the careworn expression and wrinkles
IRON his brow. To have a woman's
strength to help him over the weak
places in life.
10 have a woman lead him in the
way lie wants to go.
10 have woman sometimes treat
ann as big baby, to be cared for and
oaressed.
10 have woman ask his advice.
70 have a woman tell him that he is
twice as smart as he really is-not of
course, in SO many words.

Many persons will be interested in
noting the effect of the New York state
law, which went into operation on the
first of the month, prohibiting any per
son engaged in business from selling
his stock or otherwise disposing Of his
business without giving five days no
tice to all creditors. The object of the
law is obvious. Its enactment was due
to the energetic efforts Of large con
Germs which claim to have been de
frauded by INSCRIPTIONS storekeepers
and agents, and it is asserted that its
enforcemens will amount to reyolu.
ton in certain lines of trade. From
the manner in which the statute seems
to be drawn it should be difficult Of
evasion. No honest merchant, it would
seem, could offer obj ection to it.

Suicide is becoming quite fad Of
late, poison, pistols, shot-guns, ropes,
water, coal oil, illuminating gas and
other modes of escape from the "slings
and arrows. of outrageous fortune" are
vieing with each other for popularity
In behalf of this habit it may be said
that it is better that fool kill himself
than Lat he destroy some valuable
life.

and the children. She cared little for
society, and always avoided public no.
tice as much as possible. Her devo-
ton to her husband was remarkable,
and during the 1atter'S unsuccessful
years before the Civil war, and when
his fortune was swept away shortly be-
fore his death, Mrs. Grant always bore
herself bravely and was an inspiration
to him.
For five years Mrs. Grant has been
so feeble that it was impossible for her
to accept social engagements. She
suffered from rheumatism and was
compelled to walk with cane or with
the assistance of a servant. She was
sseYenty-six years of age at the time of
her death.

Object of the Visit of Traffic Men to

Time.

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-A number Of
the executive officials and traffic man.
ayers of the Chicago lines will go to
Washington tomorrow to attend the
interstate commerce commission in
quiry into the proposed advance in
freight rates between the Missouri
river and the Atlantic seaboard. The
announcement of the advance in rates
on certain commodities and the promise
that there would be a general increase
on all articles on the schedules,
brought out strong protests from the
shippers, especially the Northwest mil
lers, who objected to the advance on
flour and grain. Since the declaration
Of one of the traffic men of the West
a few weeks ago in his testimony be-
fore the commission that all freight
rates were too low, there has been
disposition among other railway men
to supplement that statement. The
Western traffic officials believe they
can make a showing which will show
that the proposed advance in rates is
not more than the increased price of
maintenance, labor and general oper-
ating expenses justify.

nothing of value, inasmuch as the llu-
man brain differs immensely from that
OF the highest animals. Prof. Ferrier
has asserted that the greatest dis
agreements imaginable exist among ex-
perimenta1 PSYCHOLOGISTS on that point,
adding that .it seems to me a matter
of essential Importance that in .gener-
aliZing as to the functions of the
cerebral hemispheres we should be
careful lest the hypothesis we adopt,
however well it may seem to accord
with the facts from experiments on
the higher order of animals, stand in
contradiction to facts equally well OBJ
tanned by experiments on Others"
Practice Should Be Humane.
On the general question of the value
of vivisection, which I have never un-
dertaken to interfere with, when hu-
namely practiced, it may be we'll for
me to say that I am fortified in my
position by the opinions of many of
the leading scientists of the world,
including such well known names as
that of the late Lawson Tate the
greatest exariotmist of the last cen
tury, and by Sir Benjamin Ward Rich
ardson, the distinguished English ply
sician, surgeon and scientist, author of
a remarkable book on biological ex-
himself to be a vivisector, but who
gives warning to the profession that
modern experimentation tends to unfit
the physician for the discharge of his
duties, summing up the opinion in
these words: Were to again deliver
a course of physiological lectures to
qualified hearers, I should make the
experimental demonstrations on liv-
ing animals as few and far between as
was compatible with duty They
would be exceptional and painless
from beginning to end
What have advocated is in precise
ly that line and in support of the con-
tention that even if anything you
claim in the Aiken case is true, stu
dents should be taught the fact that
your claim has been established pre-
cisely as they are taught the theory of
the circulation of blood, and not
through unnecessary torture on dumb
animals. I have the honor to be yours
very respectfully,

WRECK CAUSED
BY A WRECKER
Train on Relief Mission in
Missouri Precipitates a
Greater Disaster.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. IA
special to the Times from Brookfeld,
Mo-, says that the identity of all the
persons who were killed in the wreck
on the Hannibal & st. Joseph railway
just east of this city last night has
not yet been determined. The bod
les of the following have been reeov-
cred: James Murphy, roadmaster;
Arthur Hyatt and Thomas Ainsworth, b.,
bridgemen.
The injured, some of whom will die,
are: Thomas Phelan, conductor;
Harry Steel, bridgeman; w. Goode,
engineer; Texas Leathernan, bridge
man; R. Green, fireman; C. Mcdonald,
brakeman.
The Brc cokfeld wreclking train was en-
route for the scene of small freight
wreck which occurred early in the
evening when the crane of the wrecker
struck the overhead portion of a steel
bridge just east of this city and under
the terrible strain and the force of the
power of the engine pushing the wreck
er, the bridge gave way and the en-
tire train crashed into the water be-
low.
The escape from death of Engineer
Goode and Fireman Green, who were
pinned in their cab by portions Of
twisted iron, was miraculous. The light
of the moon aided them in crawling
through an opening into the water,
where they were rescued by the sur
vivors. The injured men were brought
to st. Luke's hospital in this city.

REPORTED BY BOWEN.
Only Knew by Runor of the sheIIins

Only Knew by Rumor of the Smelling
of the Pert.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 14.-Min-
lister Bowen, in a dispatch received by
the state department this afternoon,
cabled that he had been informed by
President Castro that British and Ger
man warships were bombarding Puerto
Cabello.
In an earlier dispatch, received by
the state department at 1922 o'clock
Sunday morning, Minister Bowen said
that the situation at the Venezuelan
capital, Caracas, was much quieter.
The great excitement noted at the out
set of the affair, he said, was caused
by the precipitate flight of the British
and German ministers, the arrest of
all the subjects of those two nations
and the seizure of the Venezuelan gun
boat without first declaring a blockade,
thus causing the people to fear that a
bombardment would follow at once.
Aside from the dispatches from Min
lister Bowen there were no further de-
velopments in the Venezuelan situation
so far as the state department is con-
eerned The officials are watching
events with keen interest, so as to
be able to act with promptness should
such a step be necessary, but nothing
was done today except to make repre-
sentations to the German and British
governments in reference to the peace
full blockade now being maintained by
those governments in Venezuelan wa
ters.
Secretary Hay took the dispatches
from Minister Bowen over to the White
house during the day, and discussed the
situation in Venezuela with the pres
ident for. some time, but he had nothing
to make public on the subject.
In the matter of the blockade the
secretary had instructed our ambassa-
dors at London and Berlin to repre-
