The Barking Dog.

The Boston Transcript tells the
story of a minister who had occasion
very frequently to travel certain
road.
A:a house on that road lived big
bull dog, which always came out and
attacked him viciously. The minis
ter stood for long while, until finally
as he drove past one winter day in q
low sleigh, a means of correcting the
dog by moral suasion occurred to him.
He stopped his horse in the read be-
fore the house. The dog rushed out
madly, barking and threatening to
Jump into the sleigh. The minister
sat in his sleigh and paid no attention.
The dog retired and g third time rush
ed out to the attack, but did not
touch the man. Then he returned to
the doorstep and lay down, apparent
ly crestfallen and dispustcd with such
man; and, as he paid no further at
tention, tho minister drove off. AZ
ter this the minister drove many times
past the house, but the dog paid no
attention to MIN and never seemed to
sec him at all. He was cured. From
this we may learn good lesson. In
every community there are people lust
like the'dog.

Sam s Mistake.

District Attorney John c. Bell has
recently returned from the South al
looks as brown as college athlete.
Wherever he goes Mr. Bell always
collects budget os rood stories and
he is a master of the art Of telling
them. Here is one Of the new ones
which he brought from the South and
which has amused the district at.or-
ney end his friends greatly:
An old white headed negro named
Moses was one day walking along the
road when he saw young Sam sitting
on the fence, grumbling to himself
and looking very sullen.
"Wah 5 de mattah wild you, SAM"
asked the old darkcy. "Whah foh all
dis yere blackness?"
"Oh, it's all dat Mars Fairfxa,'
was the reply. "Ah cant get along
wild him nohow All guess i'll gwire
to leab him. lie cusses me an beats
me all de time"
Look ahyuh. Sam, why doan' yuh
scrt yuh dependence once in while?
OATS dc way ter do. When Mars
Fairfax cusses yuh, you cuss him
back :"
a few days later old Moses came
along the road once more and saw
young Sam sitting on the fence again
this time with his face all distixurcd
as if he had been in fight and bruised
up generally.
What's dc trubble now?' asked
the old man. : Pears like yuh done
gone aud ran later one of dem steam
ingincs.'
Its all yuh fault, Unclc Moses
All done taken yuh advice. All wen,
out in de fel de udder day and Mars

Good Advice.

Parrots are responsible for great
many wise, witty, and philosophical
remarks. The Christian F.ndcavor
World relates this new parrot story:
Old Adam Forcpaugh once had Il
big white parrot that had learned tc
say:
"Onc at time, gentlemen; one at
time don't crush.'
The bird had, of course, acquired
this sentence from the ticket-taker of
the show. One day the parrot was
lost in the country, aud Mr.. Fore
pa,g gh started out posthaste to hunt
for it..
People here aud there who had seen
the parrot directed him in his quest
and finally, as he was driving by a
cornfcld, he was overjoyed to hear a
familiar voice.
lie got out and entered the field
and found the parrot in the middle of
flock of crows that had pccked him
till he was almost featherlcss. As
the crows bi! and nipped away, the
parrot, lying on his side, repeated
over and over, "One at time, gen.
tlemen, one at time-don't crush. .

The Bulls Force a Rise at the
Start, but the Bears Soon
Break It.
Wheat Reports From the South
sv west Not Very Favorable
20
Rain Needed.
Continued Selling and Lack OF
Good Support-News of the
Grain Trade.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
March S.-Encouraged by. continued report
of dry weather in the southwest, and a
little unfavorable crop gossip from abroad,
the bulls made an effort to raise wheat
out of the dumps and In the opening bust-
ness scored half-oent gain, May selling
to 96kc. Then the bears turned to and
broke it to 94Bo In short order, and to
941ac by noon. 1t was a laborious rise and
an easy decline To be bearish Is now
the only thing, and there is as great q
predominance Of bears as there was OF
bulls a short time ago. Ninety-two cents
was struck for Chicago May and there was
much selling all the way down. An utter
lack of support was noted everywhere.
There appears to be pretty good opinion to
the effect that somewhere along the slide
the shorts will sell themselves into the
hole and a recovery of several cents will
probably follow. This is about as far as
the bulls will go in prediction for the
near future. The old-time bull spirit has
been broken. Many buy the wheat but
they let go again on the first sign of
weakness.
The German crop advices were not en-
tirely favorable and the weather Is said
to have been alternately wet and frosty,
presenting conditions not the best. Paris.
however said the French crop reports
were favorable, which accounted in part
for an easier feeling in the Paris market

ports, was off &c.

fore the close May had reached 93Wc,
reacting scarcely at all and going lower

pecting good advance, sold out later
