MAY WHEAT
WAS HIGHER
While May Corn and Oats Both
Went Down.
VOLUME OF TRADE LIGHT
offerings Were Not Heavy
and Demand Only Fair

Chicago. Feb 14.-Trading in the grain
and provision pits was again dull and
prices had a downward tendency except
wheat, which closed 1sdAc higher for
May. Corn was t4c lower, while oats
were down sc. Provisions were strong
and the MAY products closed from 5a1l5c
to 15c higher.
There was only scalping market in
wheat and the volume of trade was light.
Offerings were not heavy at any time
and the demand was only fair, shorts TAX
ing the most of the offerings. The early
market was firm on better cables than an
ticipated, taking into consideration the
decline here yesterday and May opened
1sal4c higher at 7I7sa77@4c. After selling
at 777sc. a decline to &c followed. due
chiefly TO the poor showing in the cash
market and the lack of foreign demand.
Covering by shorts on the breaks pre-
vented any serious decline and the close
was STEADY, May being 1s6t14c higher at
11SGU%c. Prospects of a bearish visible
supply statement caused some uneasiness
and had a depressing influence. Clear
ances of wheat and flour were equal to
333, 900 bushels. Primary receipts were
62i000 bushels, against 190,l00 bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of 331 cars. which with
local receipts of 80 cars, two of contract
made total receipts for the three points of
'429 cars. againt 43i cars last week and
al a year ago.
cfk
by longs. Seasonable weather for the
movement and the expectation of larger
receipts made the sentiment bearish and
there was general selling by commission
houses led by some of those which recent
ly were active on the bull side. The
opening was firm on cables but the mar
ket soon weakened on lack of any mater
ial support and ruled asy throughout,
May closing &c lower at 45c. after selling
between 443s and $3.50. Local receipts
were 5S7 cars.
Selling pressure was again in evidence
in the oats pit and there was considera BILE
liquidation by the leading bull interests.
The liberal quantities of standard oats
being turned out of private warehouses
was largely responsible for the anxiety
to take profits. Lower prices ruled
throughout the day and the close was
easy with May sc lower at 3G7sG3Ga. c.
after selling between 36iSd367sc. Local
receipts were 292 cars.
A small run of hogs and higher prices
al the yards caused firmness i'm provisions
at the start and good buying by commits
sion houses and covering of May ribs by
shorts added to the advance. Offerings
were light and came mainly from locals.
The close was strong with Mry pork l2lsc
higher at si7.12i2. May lard was up 5d,lac
at s9.521s@s.55. and ribs were 15c higher
at s9.471z.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat
30 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats. 200 cars: hogs.

HOGS GAINED TEN CENTS

The weeks closing yesterday on the
Wichita live stock market was generally
favorable to sellers. The surplus of noss
that accumulated at the packing houses
the previous week were cleaned up and
there were not more hogs last week than
what were required to fill the packers

remained on the market Friday night and
bought all the late arrivals and the re-
suit was no hogs yesterday.
Good heavy hogs would have brought

week was about ten cents. The cattle
market went 10 to % cents higher the
forepart of last week. but portion OF
the gain was lost. There were no fresh
receipts of cattle yesterday and the only

B0QD TO BE Bappg~
Seven
7d Elements.

4. The fourth element Is ambition.
1t gives the desire for prominence,
notcriety and fame. True fame Is
slaughter, nor is it found in the theo-
Logan, philosopher or statesman, unless
they possess something more than in
tellectual power
{. The fifth division is the aesthetic
element. It engenders admiration of
the beautiful, grand and sublime 1t
makes our happiness subject to envi-
ronment. If we are not surrounded
by all manner of artistic home com
forts and living in a country of mag
n1hcent scenery and exquisite beauty
We feel an indefinable longing for such
enjoyment. 1t is found strongest in
the soul of the artist and the poet.
e. The sixth division is the intel
lect proper, which may be subdiv1d-
ed into three elements-perceptio
memory and reason. Perception re-
ceives impressions Of external matter,
memory tabulates them, and the mind,
by associating these Impressions, forms
conclusions which constitute reason,
the highest attribute of the intellect.
7. The seventh division comes un-
der the head of morality, religion and
love Of God. 1t is an inherent quail
1ty, manifested in the desire of all
humanity to worship. To find true
happiness in religion, the Maynard
soul must be given a new birth from
the hand of God. The sinner must
feel a cody sorrow and feel his lost
condition before receiving this gift.

Jerome'S practical view of the folly DE-
gambling could be hammered into the
wooden heads Of young men OF this
generation-that they could be made
TO see how ridiculous they appear to
the eyes of common sense.
Jerome thinks that of all vices that
sap courage and corrupt self-respect
and lead to various forms of miscon-
duct and excess, gambling heads the
list. In this connection something
might be said for the benefit of young
and old men who pay for the expen-
sive offices and establishments Of stock
brokers, and think they are business
men when they bet against the mark

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York city, who is active in the work
of suppressing the gambling dens of
that city, in response to the question:
Are there any square gamblers ?'-
that is to say, "Are there any profess

an outlaw and social outcast; that his
greed for money has made him so;
that he is perfectly familiar with the

DAYS OF ABSENCE.

Il The words and melody of this well
known song were written by Jean JAG
ques rousseau, the celebrated French au-
land, June 20, 1712, the descendant Of a
family of Paris booksellers and protestant
refugees. His mother died when he was
porn, and his boyhood days We're deli
cate and sickly. He lived successfully
with an engineer, a lawyer and an en-
graver, from whom he picked up a varied
nund OF information. After a series Of
romantic and miserable adventures he
devoted himself to the study of music,
which he afterwards taught, and invented
new system Of musical notation. He
published several operas and musical
works, before he turned his attention to
the writings for which he is chiefly
ksnoWn. and which, placed him in the
and gave him the title Of the father Of
modern democracy" He died near Paris
July 2, 177S. His melody has long been
IN the hymn books under the title Of
''Greenville," that it seems odd to con-
meet it with this French love song In
Europe it is known as "Rousseau's
Dream The words are as follows:
Days of absence, sad and dreary,
Clothed in sorrows dark array;
days OF absence, 1 am weary,
She l love is far away.
Wnen the heavy sigh be banish'd;
When this bosom cease to mourn?
Hours of bliss, too quickly vanish,
When will angel-like you return.
Not TIL that loved voice can greet me,
which SO oft has charmed mine ear,
NOT TIL those sweet eyes can meet me,
Telling that l still am dear;
Days of absence then will vanish,
JOY Will all my pangs repay;
Soon my bosom's idol Danish
Gloom, but felt when she's away.
All my love Is turned to sadness,
Absence pays the tender vow.
Hopes that filed the heart with gladness
= Memory turns to anguish now;
Love may yet return to greet me,
Hope may take the place Of pain;
Antoinette with kisses meet me
Breathing love and peace again.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.


The chief aim of humanity see.s+s to
be the pursuit of happiness. Like the
ignis fatuus of the swamp, it usually
seems just a little beyond our grasp.
Now should be the accepted time for
contentment, as it is impossible to
live in the future or resuscitate in
the past. There are seven-grand di-
versions or elements of enjoyment in
the mental makeup of man, which
may be segregated into numerous
subdivisions. For our purpose sew
en- divisions will suffice.
1. The physical enjoyment of life is
the first element Of which we become
ccgnizant. A healthy and vigorous
body is the firmest foundation of phys
ical enjoyment. To dissipate this
foundation In paroxysms or passion,
excessive indulgence of drink and in
ravenous gluttony is to descend to the
lowest depths Of folly.
2. The next element or division is
the selfish, with which man is en-
dowed purely for the protection of his
physical we'll being. The perversion
of this element creates all manner Of
injustice toward our fellow man and
in all manifestations of life it's mis-
use brings the lowest form of sordid
enjoyment.

to God seeking is mercy we must be
sure that we stand reconciled to all
our felioWmen. Don't expect forgive
