NEWS BUtlED WHEAT
Rush of Buying Orders Mark
ed the Wheat Pit.
PRICES GAINED SHARPLY
Corn, Oats and Provisions
Shared in the Advance.

Chicago. Ill, Jan. War news was the
chic ftopic of conversation before the
session opened. and when the ball rang
for the opening of business there was a
rush of buying orders in the wheat pit.
Sellers were TO be found. however. AS a
result initial sales showed d range Of an
even cents on May wheat. the price be-
ing E%4QssSsc, which was an advance OF
1z624 over Thursdays close. Shorts
were active buyers, and the price rose
rapidly. At S5sc there was considerable
liquidation and the price settled back 10
sc. The demand continued good at all
times, however, and the market rallied on
all recessions. The feature of trading
was a lack of offerings. On account of
the mourning for the victims OF the Iro-
quois fire the board closed an hour earlier
than is usual on Saturday. The short
ened session added TO the activity. May
closed at size. gain of cents over
Thursdays close. The July option also
showed good gains, and after ranging BE-
tween soc and s2izc closed with a gain of
3G3itc at s2ssds2i.c. Ciearsnces Of wheat

Primary receipts were Log. 90 bushels.
against 10000 bushels a year ago.
Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago re-
ported receipts of 612 cars against S53 cars
a year ago.
The corn market was influenced by the
same conditions that governed wheat. and
prices showed sharp advances. Shorts
covered freely and there was also good
investment demand. while offerings were
extremely light. Unfavorable weather and
small receipts were minor factors in help
ing the advance. May opened isdhdac
higher at 4574d4eG4c1sc, and after selling
up to ls7kc closed at 47ssd1c. Local re-
ceipts were 1e4 cars, with three OF con-
tract grade.
The oats market started slow. but was
soon influenced by the strength in wheat
and corn and showed fair advance. There
was good buying by some of the recent
sellers and the offerings came largely
from commission houses. After opening a
shade TO 1.c higher at 3Sl63sldAs, May
ranged between 3sl4c and 3ec, closing at
3ss.c a gain of 1z9esc. Loca receipts
were Io6 cars.
Pork led the provision list in sensa-
tional advance and at one time was 30
cents higher for May over the yower point
of the day. The war scare and total ao-
sence of deliveries on January contracts
were the influences that caused the higher
prices. Offerings were light throughout
the entire session. Buying by shorts was
the chief factor. After ranging between

higher at 1890 May lard was up l21sdlSc
at s717lk, while ribs were 15d17isc higher

MARKET WAS FIVE LOWER
Packers Want More. Than Are
Coming.

Hog receipts were light yesterday which
is the rule for Saturday. The market
was generally quoted five cents lower
but the fresh receipts were hardly SUM-
Gent to test the willingness of buyers
TO pay prices. The late receipts the pre-
vious night were taken by the buyers for
the packing houses at Fridays prices
but the fresh receipts yesterday only
amounted to two car loads. The supply
during the holiday week was somewhat
larger than expected but the packers
seem to want the hogs and they took
all that arrived 1t would be difficult
TO tell how many hogs would be required
to supply the demand as the receipts
for the past two weeks have not been
sufficient TO test the capacity of the buy

When It Does Not Pay to Smile.

Craftsmanship, whose aim it is to
instruct statesmen in the art of selling
things, remarks editorially that eff
you cannot learn to smile you cannot
learn to SELL" Now, we are willing
to agree that happy disposition is a
very essential quality for a salesman
to have. But, taken literally, the
statement Is not true. Perhaps IS per-
cent Of successful statesmen sell goods
with smile and find that it pays
But on the other hand, there are Is
percent Or more, who scarcely ever
indulge in a smile while waiting on
customers.
Take, for example, some of the
women who make up the highest class
of city trade-the kind. that drives up
to a shop in a swell turnout, enters
like a queen, snubs the floorwalker,
seats herself in comfortable seat
and looks around impatiently to be
waited on. If you know much about
selling this class of trade you know
that if you smile benignly, and per-
haps remark about the beautiful
weather, you will receive a frigid
stare from the customer that will
make you shake. In most Of the stores
where this class of trade is catered
to you will find statesmen who are
expert at handling it. They sell ev-
ening slippers. carriage boots, riding
boots, leggings, etc., with cold polite
ness that would drive away an Or
binary shopper.
There are times and places for ev-
erything, and the time and place not
to smile are in shoe store when one

Spices.

Spices
In tropical countries, between lati
tude twenty-three degrees south and
twenty three north Of the equator, the
inhabitants use spices with their food
as we use pepper. A certain benefie
ial effect is caused to the digestion,
namely, stimulant and carminative.
But there is a secondary effect, which
is perhaps even more beneficial seen
in the fact that the volatile oil passes
out of the body, mostly unchanged,
through various channels, but chiefly
through the lungs and skin, so that in
the tropics nature has provided anti.
septics which in passing out by the
lungs and skin kill the hurtful mi.
crobes which might be breathed in
and also prevent, to great extent
the attack Of mosquitoes. It is we'll.
known fact that insects, including
mosquitoes, dislike volatile oils, and
will probably not attack an individual
using spices as food adjunct. It is
interesting to note that spices grow
where there is q high rainfall com.
bined with much heat-conditiOns I'm.
der which malarial influences prevail

KANGAROO HUNTING.

Tiger skins, elephant tusks, antlers
and a dozen other trophies decorated
the smoking room of the huntsman.
you can't guess what this is" he
said, and he took down from the wall a
piece Of curiously woven mating. 1t
was about two feet square, green in
color, and five inches thick.
''This," he explained, lis the breast
plate that is worn In kangaroo hunt
ing. Without it, the kangaroo, with a
foreleg and an accuracy that no prize
fighter could smash in your chest as
though it were pasteboard box. This
breastplate is souvenir of an excit-
ing kangaroo hunt In Australia.
"All big game enthusiasts are famil-
lar with tiger shooting, elephant shoot
ing, the chase Of the grizzly, Of the
boar and of the hippo, but I know few
men who have ever hunted kangaroos.
''Yet this is an exciting and dam
gerous sport. The kangaroo, when he
is brought to bay, will fight. He
jumps straight at you, like cat, and
with his small forelegs he aims at
your chest two tremendous blowsAfrst
the right and then the left-and these
blows, with a speed and an accuracy
that no prize fighter could equal, would
kill you if they landed on an uppro-
tected surface. SO you wear, for pro-
lection, this thick green guard, woven
of native grasses by native women.
"You hunt the kangaroo in SETS
Eight huntsmen compose set, and
each set employs half a dozen native
runners to stalk the kangaroo.
'The kangaroo, on being stalked,
comes tearing over the plain straight
at you. He travels with the speed
Of an express train, and he makes
great bounding leaps. One minute he
is crouched on the grass, the next he
is ten feet up in the air, and all the
while, remember, he is going forty
miles an hour.
Hence he is a mighty difficult OBJ
ject to shoot. If you fail to shoot
him. and if there is no tree handy, then
you must put your trust in your mat
ting breastplate. This breastplate Of
mine, you notice, has a dent in it."

Reading in the Dark.

'It was CHASTITY" said the under
taker. "As we returned to our cabs
from the cemetery in the black dark
ness Of the evening, the man read out
loud to his wife, the same as if it had
been daylight.
II sat opposite him. 1t was intensely
dark. l could see the mans face,
vague whiteness, and l could see the
book he held on his knee Everything
else-pitch black. And humble,
humble, went his voice. He read flu

my spine. Finally l interrupted.
"'Pardon me- said I. L am the I'M.

if you really read in a light like this?
"I certainly CAM said he. I can see

to worship her after the laolarrouA
fashion carried out through the first
weeks of her welded life: she began
to fall in love with the man she. had
married for money.
A few weeks only had elapsed when
crisis in the merchants business rem
dered it imperatively necessary that
Mr.. Winthorpe should go to Charleston
for two or three months.
Poor Fay stood aghast as her hus-
band mentioned his intentions to her
in the same cool, matter-of-fact way
in which he might have criticised the
book he now held in his hand
ITO South Cardinal" she gasped.
''Oh, Edward"
my dear child, the journey will be
mere bagatelle! One need not mind
travel nowadays. / shall not be later
than January in returning"
Butt may go with you?" she said,
timidly
you! Don't think Of it, my dear.
My travel will necessarily be too rap
i'd to incumber myself with lady COM
panion. l must go and come with the
greatest speed"
Fay sat silent with blur before her
eyes, and a sickening sensation Of de-
spair at her heart. He cared no more
for the society which once had been SO
dear to him.
"Oh, what have I done to forfeit the
love he once poured out so fondly on
my life!" she said to herself, time af-
ter time.
1t was pleasant October twilight,
when the merchant, wrapped in his
overcoat and his travelling cap pulled
down over his eyes, paced up and down
the deck Of the steamer Nautilus, heed
less of the tumult Of weighing anchor.
Through the dusk he tried vainly to
catch one more glimpse of the spires of
the city that held his young wife.
''She will be happy enough without
me-" he told himself bitterly. 'She
babe me adieu without a tear, and it
may be that my continued absence may
teach her to think less coldly of me.
Dear little Fay! my prayers may
reach you even there"
A tear dropped on Mr.. Winthorpe's
cheek as he went below. On reaching
his stateroom he was infinitely sur
prised to find that it was not empty.
A lady sat with a yelled face and
dropping head. Edward Winthorpe
paused in surprise-the figure rose up,
and threw aside the veil, revealing the
starry blue eyes and pale face Of Fay
herselfi
Forgive me, Edward" she sobbed,
throwing herself into his arms 81

but love you, my husband-I love
you so that cannot live without you!"
And she burst into a flood of tears

And that was all he said. But Fay
Winthorpe had learned the secret of
love.-New York Weekly.

LEST He AWAKE.

Love such deep silence keeps,
Perchance, at last, he sleeps
I must no cutlery make,
Lest he awake.
/ dare not scan his face,
Nor stir me from this place,
Although my heart-strings break
Lest he awake.
He kissed this violet
/ cannot quite forget;

Lest he awake.

And blind with misery,
No respite may 1 take,

Hush, heart! no moaning make,
Lest he awake.
