A Spelling Bee.

Everyone on the shady side of 80
years, remembers the old fashioned
spelling "bee's" that once upon a
time took place in the log school.
houses in the country and towns,
and how the girls would twist their
gingham aprons and otherwise
evince signs of embarrassment when
they GOULD not spell the word. And
the boy in the hickory shirt, and
one-gallus, would fire away and
spell the word any old way but the
correct one, and then sit down with
look of astonishment when the
teacher said next" How would you
like to attend one more spelling bee
of this kind. You viii naye an op-
portunIty in the near future and it
will be one of the funniest kind of
times. The contestants will be
chosen from the people about town
who desire to participate. The sides
will be chosen by the two leaders
and the spelling alkto be given from
Websters blue-back spelling book.
The one who remain standing the
longest will receive valuable prize.
The admittance will be 10 cents and
the proceeds to buv furniture for the
schoolhouse. The contest is to take
place in the presence of the school
children.

there was notable let up In speculative short
selling during the early part of the session.
Traders who had not enough confidence in the
wheat to buy it, had at least enough fear Of
a possible squirt to stay away from the short
side. There has been considerable gossip going
around about the present short lines of Decen-
her which are said to be heavy. This may or
may not be So but the reports of heavy short
interest naturally suggest quick covering In

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

: Watson from New York: It seems to the
situation is fraught with danger and that the
secretarys efforts at relief are inadequate as he
shows no disposition to help speculative demands.
His anxiety seems to be only to provide against

interests. Hence would discourage buying be-
