Very Strange.
(Prize.)

etGEVERAL summers ago we
ASspent our vacation down on
grandfather's farm. About
month after we went, father was
called home on business and left
: not knowing just. when he would
return. The third morning after
his departure I was suddenly
aroused from my sleep by the
creaking of a door and looking
about I saw mother all dressed
and putting on her hat. On ask
ing her what it was all about she
told me that at midnight she had
received a telegram from father
saying that he would arrive on
the $3.50 am. train that morning
at a small station six miles away.
I begged to go with her because
/ did not like the idea of her
driving those six miles of timber
land alone in the dark, for the sun
would not rise for another hour
or two. But that was out of the
question so I had to console my
self by waiting at the bay-win-
dow to see mother start. AS I
sat there I saw man, who
seemed to rise up out of the
grass right at the gate-yes, it
surely was a man for there were
his arms stretched forth and yes,
in one hand was revolver! I
gave one scream, bounded out of
the door and caught mother by
the arm, just as she was stepping
into the buggy. By that time
grandfather had arrived on the
all the commotion was about. II

FIRST PINEAPPLES HERE

With the dropping from the mar
let Of Florida oranges comes an adj
vance in the price of California Ma
Veis. The Southern fruit has held
sway for two months and the crop Is
low almost entirely consumed. There
was an enormous yield this winter
aud the cost Of oranges has been
cheap but now. that California fruit
comes in to take the place of the
Florida product, the higher trans
rortation rates will be noticeable in
the cost. Already since the Florida
fruit has gone, the price Of Califor-
MA oranges has jumped from 40 to
90 cents on the box, with a prospect
of a higher price later. Some ship
pers attribute the sudden raise to the
conditions in California. They say
that the fruit has become so cheap
that packers will not ship. The sup
ply i'll the east became exhausted and
the price was raised in order to start
more fruit on its way.
The first plneapples have been re-
ceived and are first class, although
they were shipped green. They came
from Cuba and are retailing at %
cents each. The season is early as
vet, however, and better fruit and
better prices can be expected before
long.
Cranberries are higher than they
have ever been and they are hard to
buy at $4,000 per barrel. There was
a total failure of the crop in most
places and this has raised the price
to its present lofty position. Last
year, cranberries were. plentiful at IS

Chicago, January 3l.-Failure of

Northwest caused an easier opening
III the wheat market here. In addi-
ton to these things the market at

later sold at S5140S5&sc.
Corn Offerings Not Large.
Despite larger receipts than had
been expected. offerings in the corn
pit were not large. The market held
about steady on a fair demand by
commission houses. May opened UNI

The slight break in wheat brought
on free selling of oats by commission
houses, resulting in an easy under
