 In makeup and general appearance the little volume is unusually attractive bound in light blue of a grayish tinge and decorated with an artistic cover de- sign of the White Hill country. The paper used is of an extra quality of fine white linen with uncut edges, and broad wide margains and it is illustrated with pen and ink sketches done by the author The book making, under the direction of MT. Roberts and MT John D. Clancy has indeed proven a signal success and introduces not only the author but the publisher as we'll most fayoraby to the public. Designed particularly for little summer book breathing of the cool moun- tain lanG and the heart of the green wood, this history of the famous New Hampshire village loved of Whittier will undoubtedly become one of the most popular books-of it's class-gotten out this season anywhere. To issue q book in the summer season is something of an innovation and has been done by but few houses.

DEEDS OF KINDNESS.

Probably no human heart carried with it more sunshine to others than that of Mir l. Buell. Highley, whose death occur red at Huntsville a few days ago. He travelled through all parts of the state, and in each town there are several homes that have felt a great loss on account Of his death. His little deeds of kindness drew near to him every acquaintance, and his love of his friends and fellow man gave him the power of making others happy.
 One who was in a position to count his acts of thoughtfulness says he sent his messages of friendship to all parts of the state; he circulated useful literature with q request that it be handed elsewhere to give reading to others. His trips among the country people were missions of cheerfulness; without family, all peo- pie were his-and he leaves behind a verihcation of an old adage to have friends one must be friendly

September Sells Under December

Cash Market Fair, Altho Consid-
erable Wheat Game on
Sale Today.
Hedging Of Cash Purchases by
Sales of September the
Feature.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Sept. g.
Working closer together on a declining market
the September and December options finally
crossed one another, and while DECEMBER had
maintained its premium over September for a
long time, the reverse was shown this morning
IN simultaneous sales of September at T9Bc adu
December at soc. Both options sold to 79Bc and
both were together again at So1sc. The closing
up Of the difference was quite the expected
thing. Hedging Of cash wheat was heavy, one
big cash house selling $4,000 bu and others
following. All the advantage In hedging against
cash purchases lies In September, but it Is the
expectation that there will be a carrying charge
in December before a great while, or at least
enough difference to make that the hedging
month. The cash market was in fair condition,
No. northern salable from 14c to l l2c over Sep
tmeber, and No. 2 northern 11ac to &c under.
No. sold from 7sc to 7ec and No from Toe
to 74c. No. to arrive about 1ac over and
No. to arrive 2@2hc under. The movement
did not make so big showing yesterday, ney-
ertheless there was plenty Of wheat everywhere.
Minneapolis got 202 against 21S, Chicago
54 compared with %, while Duluth. tho still
under last year, when 10 were in, showed
up 80 today, which was taken to indicate the
starting in of bigger daily figures for that
market. Kansas City received 2O2 600 bu against
. $4,000, and st. Louis $1,000 against 1874, 900.

SNAKE UP HER SLEEVE:
Philadelphia Girl Caused a Sensation
in a Streetcar.

She was slender and Of medium
height, with auburn hair and a pretty
face. Innocence was pictured in her

comingly. Exception perhaps might
have been taken to black coat as be-

summer days: A middle-aged, portly

than 81 years old. The portly woman,
it was observed, was cycling the other
suspiciously and finally, with a scream,
arose and made wild dash for The
front of the car. ~r
"she," said the woman, pointing to
the girl, has snakes with her. 1 saw
one putting its head out of the sleeve
of her coat and it looked straight at
me. IT. an outrage to allow a WON
an who carries snakes to ride on a
'I'n see,'' replied the conductor.
HWell, you had better see at once,'
said the woman, now thoroly excited
"that snake was ready to spring at
me- a..
The conductor walked down the car
and gave a sly look at the cause of the
woman IS outburst, but could see moth
ing wrong and, not presuming to speak
to the girl about snakes, returned to
the older woman: The conductor had
only walked few feet when several
men saw the head Of the snake emerg.
ing from the girls coat sleeve. It was
good-sized snake, too. They laughed
and commented on her strange compan
ion When the conductor reached the
| portly woman she was flushed in the
face and bordering on Mysteries. He
| looked at her and concluded that she
| had been having few drinks and be
lieved she had seen a snake.
