An Eng1ishman made wager that Van Amburgh,
the famous lion-tamer, would be devoured by his
pets within a specified time and then followed the
trainer all over the world disbursng far than
the amount at stake, in the hope of being present
when his prediction true.
In 1882, according to the London Spectator"
there a nobleman whose dinner served
daily in Spain though he was present, when, as a
matter of fact he absent all the time travelling
in Russia.
Yet there died in England in 1865 Charles Water

his assistants had pulled alligator half out of the

fore legs and by main force twisted them on his
back Thus they served me for bride" With
Waterton astride him in this manner, the alligator
was at length subdued.
In the Russo japanese War, frequent stories were
related of women serving soldiers in the Russian
ranks; but few instances well authenticated
as that of Mary Anne Talbot, natural daughter OF
the Earl of Talbot, who served in the English army
and navy in the troublous times succeeding the
French Revolution. She went to the West Indies
in the transport Crown as foot-boy. In Santo
Domingo she was enrolled as drummer. She re-
ceived two wounds at the siege of Valenciennes.
Then she captured by French privateer on
which she remained for four months She was made
powder monkey the Brunswick, and was wounded
again. Later she served nidshipman.

IRON time long prior to the travels of Ponce de
l. Leon who voyaged to America in I5I3 in search
of the Fountain of Youth down to the present
day, distant journeys over land and sea have been
made for all sorts of queer reasons.
Perhaps none is queerer than that of the famous
Jerusalem" Whaley, who journeyed foot in
1850 to the city after which he nicknamed
Whalley walking along busy thoroughfare in
Dublin one day at swift pace when he suddenly
halted by company of his friends In response to
their question as to where he was going, he face
tiously answered, ITO Jerusalem" wag in the
party offered to wager that he wouldn't get there

WHEAT RECEIVERS ON
NEWS FROM ARGENTINA
Free Buying in Last Half of
Session Results in
Advance.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2s.-Durlng the first
hour the wheat market was weak on free
selling and n small demand. Opening
quotations on MAY were a shade Ia isnl &C
lower, at S5i4c to $3.50, and the price was
soon dropped Ia Sic
Tho statement OF an English statieti-
clan placed tho total surplus OF Argen-
tim wheat suitable for export at ll2 600
600 bushels This caused further weak
ness, but soon news was received that
the quality or the wheat was unsatisfaC-
tory and that strike OF dock laborers
was imminent
Sentiment In the pit naturally changed
and the demand became exceedingly &c
tive. The result was a quick up-turn I'm
values Much OF the buying WAS due To
the strength Of cash wheat al the prin-
cipal grain centers OF the United states.
During the last half or the session
shorts and commission houses bought
freely and most OF the early loss was re-
gained. The highest point for May was
reached at S7sc. The market closed with
May practically unchanged AT SSsc
Tho corn market was weak for the
greater part OF the day. The close was
easy and LnAc lower. at 49,
The decline I'm wheat and corn weak
cned the oats market May closed auc

Provisions were weak on general llqui-
