Council Bluffs, July 1s.-The beet su-
gar market was responsible for the
special meeting of the Iowa and Ne
braska Wholesale Grocers' Association
at the Grand Hotel Thursday. Sugar,
both beet and cane, is one of the things
that makes the life of the wholesale
grocer anything but bed of roses. ac-
cording to the statements made by the
members present. Their trade requires
them to handle it. but thsy have TO do
is the situation. Further, they say,
there does not appear % be any relief
for this condition and they must con-
tnue to sell the saccharine product at a
loss.
Beet sugar is now beginning to make
its appearance on the market and will
be very much in evidence until March
/. when cane sugar will once more hold
undisputed sway. The wholesaler is
able to secure the bee. product at a
somewhat lower figure than the cane
sugar, and the question before the spe-
clal meeting was whether the members
of the association should give the re-
taller the benefit of this lower price on
beet sugar or whether they should
charge the same price for the beet as
they did for the cane. Evidently be-
lieving in the old adage that charity
begins at home the meeting decided
that as the handling of cane sugar was
done at loss they would put the price
of the beet product up to that of the
cane and thereby make good portion
the loss on the cane.
The Iowa and Nebraska Wholesale
Grocers' Association is a decidedly close
corporation. and like the Grain Dealers
Association of Iowa. Nebraska and Mis-
souri, transacts its business and carries
on its deliberations behind closed doors.
At the close of the meeting Major SAM
uel Mahon of Ottumwa, president OF the
association. stated that outside the
question of beet sugar the business be-
fore the meeting was of a purely rout-
inc character.

wondera In Nature.

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing spiders web into thou
sand strands or counting the arteries
and nerves in the wing Of gossamer
moth! Yet by the powerful lens of a
microscope it is found there are more
than 1000 muscles in caterpillar
The eye Of drone contains $4,000 mir
rors, and the body of every spider Is
furnished with four little Jumps pierced
with tiny holes, from each Of which is
sues a single thread, and when thou
sand of these from each lump are join
ed together they form the single line
of which the spider spins its web and
which we call SPIDERS thread. Spi-
ders have been seen as small as grain
OF sand. and these spin thread so fine
that it takes 1000 of them put together
to equal in size a single human hair.

GYPSY RETIcENcE.'
Il Was Not Proof Against Charles
Godfrey Leland.

Godfrey Leland.
Charles Godfrey Leland, author Of
the Hans Breitmann" ballads, had a
passion for studying the race Of gyp-
sizes and at the same time great human
sympathy with them. The fact that
he was the greatest living authority on
the gypsy tongue and customs gave
him little pleasure compared with the
delight Of being hailed as brother by
gypsy horse traders Mt English fairs
and gypsy musicians in Russia and
Austria.
One day in Philadelphia he met three
dark men whom he knew to be of an
ancient stock. He was quite sure that
they could speak language which
contained roots of Sanskrit, Hindoo
and Persian. Yet they would make no
display of it. They would, like their
race, deny all knowledge Of it as well
as the fact Of their gypsy blood.
He addressed them in Italian, and
they answered fuently. He changed
to obscure tongues Of the east, and
again they replied.
"Have you got through all your Ian
guages?" he inquired ut last.
Eyes, signor all of them"
isn't there one left behind which
you have forgotten? Think minute"
"No, signor; none"
''What, not one?"
"Signor, you have seen every egg In
the basket"
Leland looked the man fxedly in the
eye and put question in Romany.
There was a startled glance from one
to the other and then silence. He
asked them, again in Romany, Wont
you talk with gypsy brother?
That opened the gates. They shook
his hands in great emotion and tried
to tell him how happy they were In
having met some one who knew them.
