When my aunt Annie was little girl
and was baby, our home was with
my grandparents. They lived then in a
large house out in the country. sever
nl miles from their nearest neighbors;
and they often had to go to the big
village, ten miles away. on business,
and leave us alone.
One day, just before they started
away, grandma said to Aunt Annie:
Now. Annie. II Mary cries, give her
her bottle and rock her to sleep. We
shan't be home before nine o'clock. and
probably she will sleep all the even
ing. II you hear anything at the door,
do not open 1t, as 1t might be the
lion"
inere had been n circus in the village
the week before; and. as there were
no railroads in those days. 1t had come
very close to grandpa's on its way to
the next town. Soon after 1t had passed
some rien had come back and asked
grandpa If he had seen a lion; for
Royal Ben, as they called him, had
escaped. He had not been captured as
far as any one knew; and people felt
very nervous over the idea that a lion
might be prowling about in the woods
and hills near by.
After grandfather and grandmother
drove away, my aunt Annie sat down
In the big armchair by the open fire
and was soon fast asleep. After while
| was hungry, and woke and cried.
(Of course | don't remember these
things myself. but my aunt Annie has
often told me the story. She was about
nine years old them My crying aroused
my aunt Annie, and she gave me my
bottle of milk and rocked me to sleep
again in my cradle. She was very
wide awake by this time, when, all OF
sudden. she heard roar. My aunt
Annie had never heard a lion before,
but she knew 1t was Royal Ben as soon
as she heard the sound.
"Bur-r-r-r-r!" roared the hungry
beast again, away off in the distance
My aunt Annie put the bar across
the door and drew all the curtains.
Then she sat down, and waited and
listened. Presently she heard 1t again
but nearer this time. so close that she
knew the lion was in tae barn.
"Oh. he will get Tommy" she
thought when she heard it. Tommy
was her pet sheep.
"Bur-r-r-r-r." roared Royal Ben, and
my aunt Annie knew that the lion
must be almost up to the house by this
time.
'Oh, he is after you,' she said, be-
ginning to cry; and she snatched me
out of the cradle and put me up in the
china closet and shut .he door.
This woke me. 1t was dark and cold
up there, and | suppose | did not like
it. So | cried as loud as | could
BE quiet" said my aunt Annie, in
a low tone, "or the old lion will get
you!"
| didn't know what lion was then,
but did know that was not being
treated right So | Just cried and cried
up there on the shelf in the china
closet,
Soon my aunt Annie heard the lion
again, on the porch. And then in a min
ute 1t roared once more,-this time in
the room, on the table,-and my aunt
Annie went over to the table, and
looked; and what do you think she
saw? The lion?
After minute she laughed. and
came to the china closet, and took me
out and put me back in my cradle.
But the lion? Oh, the lion wasn't in
the room ut all! 1t was blue-bottle
fly buzzing in the big milli-jar on the
table.-C. b. Magruder, in Little

STATUS or THE WHEAT AND
CORN MARKET.

Maryland wheat from the harvest Of 1902
is already coming TO Baltimore in small
quantities, says the San Of Monday. 1t is
of fine quality and in good condition, al
though the yield is far below the average.
In the great western wheat counties the
yield is perhaps not more than two thirds OF
the crop Of last year. Very little wheat from
these counties comes 10 this market, as II is
usually ground into -four in the local mills
and shipped in barrels. Throughout the
country the estimated crop is up 10 the
average, the Government estimate being
633, 100000 bushels. Notwithstanding the
full crop this year and a heavy fall off in the
foreign demand, the farmers who are ship
ping their wheat To Baltimore now are re-
ceiving z cents bushel more for 1t than
they did at this time last year. The price
last week was 78s cents, as against 7ls cent
a year ago. 1t is this increase In lice
which has caused the falling of il me lot

he increase Of the price at this time over

in the visible supply both in this country
and In Europe. In the United States and
Canada on July /, 1902, the visible supply
was 29,bl1 900 bushels, as against Al 100000
a year ago and 65,000.0O0 in 1900. The
European supply on the LIST Of July was
100000 bushels, as against 100000
year ago. While there was splendid crop
OF wheat in the prairie States last year, there
was an almost total failure of the corn crop,
and now in parts of the West corn is higher
