Johnny was not a beggar.
Among other interesting things he did was the
writing Of verse. He was philosopher in his
way, and had the habit of putting his thoughts
into rhyme. These he used to recite, and once
in while persons who were interested would
write them down. Enough have been gathered
in this way to make a book and they give many
proofs that somewhere, sometime, he had been
quite a scholar.
But what is most interesting is the habit he
had Of planting seeds wherever he went. When
he ate an apple a peach or a pear he put the
seeds carefully in pouch he carried, and when
he reached a fertile valley where he thought
family would surely come to live some time the
seeds were carefully planted So it happened

true. He was not ambitious, as you and I are,
yet he did q great deal Of good. He made many
people happy, and was contented to be without

INCIPIENT STRIKE IS.
QUELLED BY A SWITCH
Weapon to Abate Youthful En-
thusiasm.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July ga good hickory
switch was successfully used to quell a
strike in Chicago today. Driven to des-
peration by incipient uprisings of
youthful employees all over the city due
to the success of the messenger boys
rebellion, John Fitzpatrick, organizer
of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
had recourse to the primitive weapon
when his Office was invaded by an in
fantile delegation requesting the as
sistance of his organization.
Shortly after noon about 100 boys in
the employ of the American District
Telegraph company went on a strike
for raise in wages to $5 a week.
With rush they sent committee to
Organizer Fitzpatrick and asked his
assistance in securing the advance in
wages, and perhaps in forming a union
These boys had hardly been disposed Of
when committee of twenty boys in
knee pants, who said they were the
buy-outs of six wholesale drug stores
in the city and that they had gone on
strike for an increase in wages, de-
manded his assistance.
Reaching for switch on the top of
his desk he told them they were "the
limit" for strikers, heard their story,
and with the switch in his hand sent
them back to work, promising to see
the managers of the drug house and
find out what could be done for them.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 29.-Judge

that wife had a right to go through
her husbands pockets when the latter
kept the purse strings too tight in

Vahey had her husband, John, arrested
for disturbing the peace. When Va

in linen bandages. Judge Sidener ask

for?" Don't know" mumbled the de-

automobiles which will be of great
value to the makers of the machines.
has for years been laboring to
solve the problem of making an auto
mobile that could be operated without
the noise which usually attends the
running of such: machines, and he
seems to have solved the problem. The
machine which has just been patented
has for i is motive power perfectly ST.

haust having been carried away with
series of muff1ers. The machine of
Nyberg has another point of great
value, and that is flexible axle, the
patent for which was granted last Sat
urday.
This point removes one of the most
serious objections in the manufacture
of automobiles. In making these i'm
provements Nyberg has lost none of the
speed required for his machine, and it
is claimed that the vehicle will easily
make twenty-five miles an hour over
country roads. Nyberg has not offered
his patents for sale, but he is planning
the organization of company by
which the patents VIII be manufac-
tured extensively for the trade.

CASH OPERATORS IN OATS MAY
INSTITUTE SUIT TO RECOVER
HEAVY DAMAGES
STATE GRAIN INSPECTORS
SAID TO AID THE CORNER
1t Is Claimed That Oats Sufficiently
Good to Be Graded Standard Have
Been Rejected by Inspectors, Caus-
ing Loss of Large Sums to Leading
Operators.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 29.-Legal proceed
ings to recover big losses which cash
grain dealers on the Board of Trade
declare they and their customers have
suffered is one of the possible results
of the deal in July oats. Leading cash
dealers on change are being asked to
sign affdavits intended to show that
the state grain inspection department
is aiding and abetting a corner by re-
quiring a better grade of oats than the
rules of the board require for delivery
on contracts.
Under the rules of the board any
No. white oats weighing more than
twenty eight pounds to the bushel, are
standard" or contract grade" The
warehouse commission rules, how
ever, are not worded just like those of
the board, and, it is said, require closer
inspection for standard oats. The re-
suit has been, according to statements
made by members of the board, that
thousands of bushels of No. white
oats weighing more than twenty
eight pounds to the bushel, have not
been graded standard. This has not
only caused the loss of many small
fortunes to local receivers, who had
sold oats for delivery this month as a
hedge against cash purchasers, but
also to shippers throughout the coun-
try.
There was further slump in July
oats today, owing to big receipts and
liberal accumulation of standard oats
in the last few days which will be
applied on this months contracts. The
commodity opened at 55 cents against
closing quotation yesterday of SO
cents sold down to SO cents, and later
held firm around 81 cents, closing at go
cents.

DALLAS, Tex, July 29.-In the
northwest sections of Texas the flood
situation is improved, but in the CEN
tral and southern portions there have
peen further heavy rains, which have
crippled railway traffic and caused
much damage to other property.
From Baird, west on the Texas e,
Pacific, the weather is clear, but from
the coast to Texarkana, west to Baird

there was frequent downpours today.
These rains have materially softened
the road beds and in many places the

in Dallas over the Sante Fe was four
hours late.
On the Texas & Pacific trains are
running to Big Springs to the east

more clearly shown in the offers to
Russian oil exporters by representa-
tlVes of the Nobel and RothschiIds in
the absorption of the whole of their
output. The exporters have been for
b1dden to sell through agencies of these
interests at price arranged by them
or TO hight the prices of the combined

Tor the purpose of maintaining prices,

exporters preferring to fight. II was
doubtless this combination, continues
the Daily Mail, which induced the Rus

spokesman of the great combination
declares it means fight to the death
and the independent exporters cannot

CIGAR TRUST ABSORBS
ITS CHIEF COMPETITOR
United Cigar Manufacturing Company
Taken In, Leaving Clear
Field.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
CHICAGO, July 29.-The American
Cigar company, a wing of the tobacco
trust, according to credited reports to-
day, has absorbed it's chief rival, the
United Cigar Manufacturing company.
The price paid is said to have been
$1O,0O0,0O0, being a net profit of $3,OOO,-
600 on the capitalization. With the
United Cigar Manufacturing company
out of the way the cigar trust would
have a most complete control of the
trade. This rival concern was organ
lied with capital of $7,000,000 by the
merger of Kerbs, Wertheimer &
Scheffer, Straiton & Storm, and Hir-
schorn & Mack, all manufacturers. By
quick action the company practically
cut out the cigar trust from a great
part of the Western retail trade. This
compelled the American Cigar COM
pany to enter into negotiations for ita
rapidly growing rival, whose present
manufacturing capacity is 100000
cigars a day. According to William
Best Jr., even this does not supply the
demand.

is understood, invested $4,000 with
Power, but has never been able to OBJ

been done he prayed earnestly that his
hearers should consider it Gods will

CHAMBERLAIN AGAIN
BACK IN HARNESS
He Appears in the House of Commons
and Is Greeted Very
Warmly.

LONDON, July 29.-Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain appeared in the
house of commons this afternoon for
the first time since his recent accident.
He was greeted with hearty cheering,
and later he was warmly congratulated
by Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman,
Liberal leader in the house.
The loss of the seat for North
Leeds in the house of commons has
filed the supporters of the new Bal
four administration with dismay. The
utmost ingenuity of the editorial writ
ers of the Conservative press is quite
Intellectual in explaining away the con-
version of the Tory majority of 2,517
in 1900 into a Liberal majority of 75S.
The Morning Post, which is the
frankest Conservative critic of the gov
ernment, admits candidly that outside
of the Birmingham area, which it says
is a "Chamberlainite" preserve, there
is seemingly no seat in the house on
whose loyalty the present government
can absolutely rely, and the paper be-
lieves the country is dissatisfied with
the governments educational bill and
it's coquetting with protection.
