CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Renewed Confidence In steadlness Of
Wheat-Corn and Oats Firm
BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April s.-Notwithstand-
ing a continuation Of excellent weather
conditions, q degree of confidence on
the buying side of the wheat market
that had been felt for some time past
was in evidence.
A part of the bullish sentiment was
attributed to the seeming indifference
of holders of May, the volume OF trad
ing in that option being very light
throughout the session.
Another factor was the strength at
Minneapolis, resulting from a good
cash demand. Higher prices at Liver
pool formed cllncher in decisively es-
tabishing the dominion of bullish
sentiment.
On the other hand weather conditions
were decidedly unfavorable to a bull
ish campaign. Reports by a st. Louis
trade paper, furnished encouragement
to the bears, the claim being made
that the yield of winter wheat this
year will be unusually large.
The market was firm from the start
Initial quotations on May were up y
@1c, at SS& DS9c. July was a shade
lower to 1sc higher at S27s@S9c to S3Bc.
A little profit taking in May soon car
ried the price of May down to SSAc,
but quick recovery soon followed.
After touching S2% 0S27sC, July grad
ually advanced and for the remainder
of the day held within SSc and s31ac.
One of the leading bulls was credited
with moderate purchases of the July
option. The market closed firm, with
July at S33s 083hc. Final quotations
on May were at SSAc.
Corn was firm. July opened a shade
lower at 463sc, sold between 46B@
465sc and closed at 461a @465sc.
The oats market was influenced by
the firm tone of corn. July opened
unchanged to 1ac lower at 2S% @2SAc,
sold up to 29c and closed at 2S7s @29c.
Heavy liquidation of May pork had
weakening effect on the provisions
market. At the close, July pork was
down 171a@20c. lard was up 21ac and
ribs were off sc.

JUSTIFICATION.

This is legal term and has ref
erence to one who is accued of some
crime and is proven not guilty in
the sense of the acquision. To illus
trate. l will suppose a man is
charged with having killed fell
low man, but it is proven be did it
purely in self-defense. AS the law
of self-protection is the first law of
nature. he is declared justifiable,
and stands before the law and the
country in state of justification.
TO apply this subject to man as
an accountable being before God,
having violated the law that is
holy, just and good; doing it will
ingly and knowingly, he became
not only transgresser, but an
alien fbom God, and the penalty
annexed to the violation oflaw was
death. Adam sinned and brought
death upon himself and his poste-
rity. Now the question arises,
how shall man be justified before
God? Surely not by works of his
own, for there is no merit in duty,
and he is commanded to obey God
in all things, and if he could do
that, there is nothing in it of
meritorious character. How then
can he be justified? At this point
the Word of God points the way,
and the only way under heaven.
Paul tells us Christ was delivered
for our offenses and was raised
raised again for our justification.
Rom. 4:25.
The obedience and death Christ
constitute the meritorious basis of
the sinners justification before
God. They constitute such a basis
because they answer the demands
of the divine law. The majesty of
the law must be maintained, and
its immaculate purity must be
magnified and made honorable.
All this was done by the death of
Christ. 1t was 30 done that Christ
became the end of the law for
righteousness to everyone that be-
lieveth. 1t was 80 done that God
can be just and the justifier of ev-
eryone that believeth in Christ.
What grand exhibition of the
Fathers Son for lost world, in
that he gave His only Son to take
the sinners place and suffer and
die in his stead that he might
stand justified before the Father in
the righteousness of the blessed
Christ. "For God so loved the
world that He his only begotten
Son that whatsoever believeth on
him might not perish, but have
everlasting life." Life everlasting
life, is offered to everyone who
will accept the Son of God as his
savior. Why not now?

For the Larger Public School Students

There is no good reason why
young people anxious to be earn
ing something for themselves should
be idle three to five months of the
year absorbing all the meanness
in the country and growing up like
rag weeds. Time is money and
opportunity too. He who will
study only in cold weather robs
himself of his best chances Of sue
cess by talking twice as long as
necessary to get ready and begin
ming 30 far behind in the race. It's
the fellow with nothing else to do,
and not the busy man, that suffers
most from heat.
Taking business course, short
hand, or telegraphy during this
idle season is not half 80 hard on
health or morals as card parties,
socials, late hours and bad COM
pany. Then, when the literary
course is finished, or the busy sea-
son opens up your education is not
lone legged" You can earn a
handsome salary.
1t may not be out of place to sug-
gest that theee's no better place to
take such course than Tyler Com
mercial College of Tyler, Texas
This is school with a national
reputation and patronage-enroll-
ing 1000 students annually,

He Lost His Nickel.

"Whats the matter, bub" queried the kind-hearted old man who saw a newsboy looking around as if in search of lost article.
 '..'ll git licked when I git home" sniflled the boy in reply.
 "Who'll lick you?"
 "AIe fadder"
 What for?
 "For losin' q nickel"
 'Sure you lost it around here"
 "Dead sure and me ladder won't take no excuse"
 "He won't, eh? Well, we must see what we can do about it. You appear to be very nice boy and don't want you to be licked for an accident"
 "Den you'll gimme de nickel, will you" asked the lad, as grin lurked at the corners of his mouth.
 "I'll do better than that bub-a heap better Here are my spectacles Put them on and look around again and you may find two nickels instead of one. If you do l won't ask you to divide"

A selfPossessed Traveller.

The late Mrs. Isabella Bishop whose travels in different parts of the world secured for her membership in the Royal Geographical Society, vis- tied America when she was young woman. She was unused to travel and was alone when she had the fol- lowing experience, which is told in Blackwood's Magazine:
 Once, in train going to New York, she was dreadful!y tired, and yet she had feeling that if she went to sleep the man sitting next t. her would pick her pocket Sale struggled for some time against her inclination to sleep, but having for a moment given way she awakened to feel the hand of her neighbor gently withdrawing her purse from her pocket.
 In her purse, besides some money which was, comparatively speaking of small moment, was her baggage check. That was the only thing that really mattered. If she accused her neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler for him than to drop the purse out of the open window beside which he was sitting. No; she determined she would leave any interference until they arrived at their destination.
 She secured the services of porter, and with apparent calmness, follow ed her travelling companion down the platform. Having described her lug gage to the porteY, she at the critical moment bowed slightly to the pick pocket, and, with an airy smile, said, "This gentleman has my baggage it to her.

Socks as Money.

Ole Oleson, Humber jack" walked into town the other day carrying l. 75O pairs of gloves and mittens, 1,175 pairs of socks and eighty-three pounds of tobacco.
 He offered the goods for sale at about one-fOurth of their value and was arrested on suspicion. He pro. tested to the police that he came into possession of the goods honestly When pressed he declared that he won the articles at poker in the lumber woods.
 Oleson said he had been in the woods many months. The lumber jacks received no money while in the woods, but were expected to wait un- til they returned to town for their pay. At the company 'store" in the woods the men could get such articles as they desired however, having them charged against their time. Accord ingly, the men used merchandise in- stead of checks in their games.
 Oleson said he played in good luck, md in one game, where socks were the stakes, he won 1,175 pairs of the hosiery on three aces. The other man held a trio of kings.
 In game for mittens, Oeson said, the limit was high and in three hours of play he had mittens enough to supply a regiment of soldiers.
  he was released to go and leash in his checks. ."-Ashland (Wis.) Cor. Minnea- polls Tribune.

One-.camily Settlement.

No one is a separate unit in India" says Edmund Russell. The sons nev- CT leave the parental rooftree. An marry-marriage with them is as birth and death, inevitable-0nd their chil- dren are added to the family. There are always widowed aunts, other grandparents-no relative is ever left to shift for himself in India-so that households of 150 are not uncommon. Add almost as many servants, an0 we have some idea of the occupation and cares of the mistress of such a home. The servants quarters surround the yard CT 'compound,' and the ladies of the household care for them as did the stately danes of old Virginia in the plant; tion life before the war. The great zenana courtyards stretch back to fruit and vegetable gardens, and there are tanks or artificial ponds where ladies and children bathe in se- clusion. Blossoming trees rise above hedges that jealously guard these sec red retreats, whre a family may sport in private with freedom unknown to us, and suited to their shy, poetic, playful nature, that only unfold when with each other; caring as little to see the world outside as to be seen by it." -Everybody's Magazine.

SOME CURIOUS FINDS.
Money Lost on a Farm Was Located
 Inside Potato.


 Inside a Potato.
 A Scarborough gentleman was sur prlsed recently to find thirty eight pins in his breagfast egg, and most other people would have been surprised, too, under the circumstances. There ought to be collection of miraculous eggs somewhere It was only two years ago since hen laid an egg at Bed ford with penny in 1t. There is no doubt at all as to the fact but the question, How did the penny get in- side the egg?" has never been quite satisfactorily settled.
 A comparison puzzle is afforded by a market gardener, well known at Spitalfields market, who once lost and found half crown under almost in- credible circumstances. He was in- specting his crops when he dropped the half crown on the ground, and though he searched long and diligent- ly, he searched in vain. A year passed and the incident was being forgotten, when, as he was selecting some pota- toes for the market, MT. Smith came across one of a very curious shape. Cutting it open to discover the cause of its eccentricity, the gardener found inside it the half-crown piece he had lost twelve months before. The po- tato was seen by hundreds of people, and the truth of the story is well vouched for.
 Remarkable as they are, there is nothing unique in these cases. One of the romances of money-making is the story of man who found a news paper inside shark when fishing in Australia in 1870, and who learned the news of the Franco German war in this way early enough to make a for tune out of it. The story may be true or not; everybody in Australia knows it.
 Another after the same kind is that of the Milford Haven trawler which, while fishing off Carlingford Lough a year or two ago, caught up in the net a packet of papers, tied together with red tape and carefully sealed. The skipper of the boat handed the docu- ments to lawyer, and it was found they were a missing link which stood between woman and her fortune.
 They proved the right of a Miss Macdonald to certain estates in Ire land, which she had claimed ten years before, but which she had failed to win because the will could not be produced. It was this will which was brought up from the sea.-Pearson's Weekly.

FROM DERISION TO FAME.
Luther Burbank To-day Foremost in
 in the World in His Lii


 Scarcely a decade ago Luther Bur- bank was virtually unknown to the world. He was held in derision by his relatives, in pity by his friends, in scorn by his enemies. He was de- nounced by scientific men as little less than charlatan, producer of spec tacular effects, seeker for the un- canny and abnormal an enemy to all true scientific progress, misleading, though powerful, prophet of new or der of things that could never come to pass.
 One day q minister in Santa Rosa, Cal, where MT. Burbank lives, invit- ed him to attend church, that he might listen to sermon upon the work he was carrying on. He accept cd the invitation, and was forced to listen to an address violently denounc- ing him as foe to God and man, one who was interrupting the well-ordered course of plant life, destroying forces and functions long established and sacred, reducing the vegetable life of the world to q condition at once unnat- ural and abnormal.
 Going q little further back in his his tory, to the period in which he first attempted to carry out the work of his life, we find him more than once pcrilously near starvation in land of plenty, but rising by sheer force of noble ideals above all temporal ills.
 To-day Mir. Burbank has become the foremost man in the world in the pro- duction of new and interesting forms of fruits, trees, flowers, vegetables, grasses and nuts. He has carried his investigations far beyond the point that he had reached when the minis ter assailed him. Last year more than six thousand men, embracing among them the very pick and flower of the scientific life of two hemispheres, made the pilgrimage to his Santa Rosa home to study the lines of his inves- legations, to see with their own eyes many things which their scientific minds could not accept as truth with out visual demonstration, and to learn some details of the supreme results achieved. During the year thirty thou sand letters were received, coming from every quarter of the globe, ask ing for more light upon his work Century

A Comedians Joke.

A celebrated Irish comedian went in- to a barber shop to get shaved, and, finding the barber out, he determined to have a little fun before his return. So he took off his coat put on q thin ner one and quietly waited for a GUS toner. An old gentleman came in soon.
 Shave, sir?" said our pretended bar Der.
 The old gentleman took chair, and the comedian began to father, expect ing every moment the barber would appear. Five minutes passed and no barber. Five more, and still no bar Der.
 The joker began to get desperate, and conceived bright idea. Putting up his brush, he quickly changed his coat again, took his hat, and was about to quietly step out behind the gentleman's back, when that worthy turned his head and exclaimed:
 "Here, sir, aren't you going to shave me?"
 "No, sir" promptly replied the CO., median. "The fact is, we only lather here, sir. They shave four doors be- low"
 Then he bolted out of the door, leav- ing the indignant old fellow to his wrath.
