Ease in the money market, favorable

the encouraging factors which outweigh

Monday when the first crisis in the con-

corn last year the large yield of wheat
and high prices for both resulted in the
greatest value for the two crops ever re-
corded. which means that the agricultural
sections are prosperous and other indus

creased sales Of produce.

MY LEGACIES.

When / read as oft it happens,
That some lucky millionaire,
Has just died and left fortune
For his relatives to share
Then I say. alas! If only
That old chap had known me,
If I'd had the happy fortune
To have been his lcgatee
For although I've been remembered
BY departed kith and kin.
l have never had the present
or legacy in tin.
Uncle Samuel always liked me,
Though he could not leave his wealth
But have the govt In memory
OF his dear rheumatic self
And Aunt Sarah. Heaven give her
All the peace that she deserves,
Left me as a last momento
A large legacy of nerves.

Uncle Robert was a spendthrift,
And had nothing to divide,
But his love of ease and luxury g
And his share of family pride,
This, alas, as fate would have it,
Was my legacy from him,
And a certain formal stiffness
Which has made girls call me prnl.
While from my patornal grandpa,

And weak eyes of watery blue.

And occasionally repine,
Can a man be always cheerful
Who has legacies like mine?

There have been many devices ard

serve as a fuel substitute, but in most
cases they have been worthless. cost

anthracite ut over $50 q ton, soft coal
scarce and advancing in price and

for patents on all sorts of artificial
fuel There has also been a rush OF
inventors with plans for converting
CRATES and burners so that they may
be adapted for fuel oil and liquid sub
