Would Pension Mothers.

Pensions for mothers are advocat-
ed by a prominent society woman
who has seized upon the idea of an
English writer. She argues especial
ly in behalf Of the wives of workmen
the kind of woman who, on a wage
of sometimes less than eight dollars
a week, has reared a large family.
Without the mother, where would
the nation be?" she asks. yet what
is the nation doing for the mothers
Of America? Surely these women
above all others should be able to
look forward to q period Of rest after
fighting the battle of life. With q
state pension how much lighter would
be the burdens of the workingman' 5
wife. What an influence for good
would she be In her old age to the
rising generation, instead OF being
as at present a drag on the energies
Of her offspring-young people who
ought to be able to give all their time
and devotion to their own families

PUPILS PACK THEIR BOOKS.
Teachers and Scholars Bid Each Other
FareweII-OR for Three
Months Holiday.

Teachers and pupils are bidding each
other goodbye in the public schools
today as this is the last day of the
school year. All study will be ended
this evening and the pupils are taking
their books home, although most of
them will return Friday TO receive
their report cards and attend to other
minor details.
The students were all busy today dis
cussing their plans and prospects for
the disposition of their three months
period of rest. There seems to be a
greater majority of students this year
who determined to complete their edu-
cation than ever before. The fact that
the number of back -sliders are decreas-
ing is a good omen for the prosperity
of the school.

BODY NOT RECOVERED.

The story printed last night in the
Chicago papers to the effect that the
body of Miss Minnie Kiederer, who
was supposed to have been drowned in
Cedar Lake. has been recovered. has
been found to be untrue. The authori-
ties are now at work dragging the
lake bottom near where the boat cap
sized. They are still in doubt as to
whether there really was a fatality
Residents Of the resort seem to be en-
tirely in the dark concerning the facts
of the supposed drowning, and many
of them discredit the story. If the ef-
fort to recover the body proves un-
successful, the matter will be dropped

PONCE DE LEoN's SPRING.
Woman Has Refused to Sell the Prop
erty for $4,000.

There are ten acres of ground sur
rounding the spot where Ponce de
Leon, on his second visit to what is
now St Augustine, discovered youth.
History tells that he failed to locate
1t on his first visit from Spain to this
section, but that on a second trip, in
1913. he was more successful The
property, called Neptune springs, is
owned by a widow, who, with her
daughter, stands at the old-fashioned
we'll affair, and sells the water to tour
lists who visit her in great numbers
The water is the purest kind of lithia
cool and pleasant to the taste. Re
Gently she was offered $4,000 for Nep
tune springs, which has other good
springs aside from Ponce on it. 1t is
located a short distance from the
ruins Of the old stone wall and gates
of the city of st. Augustine, used
when this was province of Spain and
when Spanish governor general oc
cupied as a residence the building
now used by Uncle Sam as a post of
fee. Not far away are the ruins o.
the old Spanish Fort Marion, wrecked
and ruined by shell from the gunneri

EVOLUTION OF GLASS EYES.
Were First Brought into Use in the
Seventeenth Century.

THAT is an artificial eye Of the sew
enteenth century" said the curator
of the medical museum. 1T isn't very
deceptive, is it?" The ancient eye
resembled what is called a patch.
There was band to encircle the head,
and semi-circle of leather with q
human eye painted on it-a large, blue,
staring eye. 1t was, in fact, simply
a patch on which an eye was painted.
Next came these silver shells" said
the curator. They were inserted un-
der the lid in the empty socket. A
little more deceptive, eh?" The
shells, in shape like halves of wal
nuts, had eyes upon them. and were
not unsightly. They were so dull and
opaque, though, that no one would
ever have taken them for the real
thing. Next came eyes Of porce-
lain," the curator went on, waving
his hand toward a case Of fairly pre-
sentable porcelain eyes, "and finally
we got glass yes-transparent, bril-
liant eyes that will never be improved
on till a movable pupil is invented, a
pupil that, somehow, will work in
harmony with the other pupil. Many
an inventor is working on this NOV
able pupil idea OF course, there's a
fortune in it for the successful man.

BAD BREAK
IN WHEAT
July Product Suffers De
cline of Four Cents-Rest
is in Proportion.
BROKERS URGE CAUTION
"Bloated Bondholder" Feeling Con.
spicuous By It's Absence
Orders Cancelled.

Chicago, June 12.-With the green
bugs" cinch bugs, army worms and
other pests too numerous to mention
working over time in the wheat pit,
the market could not absorb the avail
anche of selling pressure which was in
evidence. The slump in prices was
even greater than that of yesterday.
Commission houses that called their
clients for additional funds TO protect
their open accounts We're the largest
sellers. July wheat suffered a decline
of almost four cents a bushel while
the more distant months deprecated
equally much.
There is an absence Of that "bloated
bondholder" feeling around the ex
change. Bootblacks, porters and
others who had ordered automobiles
upon the strength of their paper profits
in the wheat market have hurriedly
cancelled the orders.
There was nothing in the way of
news to cause such a severe shake out.
1t is said that the selling has eman-
ated from so many different quarters
that it is impossible to assign any legi-
innate reason for the break. One
thing is certain and that is, close stu
dents of market conditions have urged
caution among their clients. The
more conservative brokers have insist
ed upon a substantial margin being
kept good at all times.
Decline of Thirteen Cents All Told.
The decline today, at the low prices
represents about thirteen cents per
bushel since the inception of the late
! lamented bull movement.
Visiting delegates attending the Illi-
nois grain dealers meeting which is
being held here reported marked i'm
provement in the wheat crop of Illi-
nois, Indiana and Iowa. However
news from the northwest was anything
but reassuring, a new species Of pest
has been uncovered from that terri
tory. This pest is doing great damage
to the spring wheat crop which is JUS
heading. The speculative market
closed without a semblance of rally
ing power.
The lowest priceE2of the day did no.
affct the corn market to any materia
extent. Naturally sympathetic de
cline would be expected. Weather con
ditions being unfavorable and tn,
backwardness of the growing crop hai
given an impetus to support the mar
ket The same interests, however
were prominent as sellers of July AM
September corn that inaugurated th
break in the wheat market At TIL
final close. prices only showed a decline
of about five -eights Of a cent for tn
more active months.
The selling pressure in the oats pi
was more pronounced than that of yes
terday. Prices scored declines varying
from one to two cents a bushel wit
the selling in the July option particu
larly aggressive.
At the close of the session. this ce
real shows considerable recession i
values.

Looked ON 1t as a Bribe.

Paris, June 12.-The Matin publishes
a dispatch from Rome saying that two
wealthy Roman Catholic citizens of
the United States recently informed the
pope that Roman Catholicism would
make great strides in the United
States if Archbishop Ireland were
made a cardinal, and that they would
at once donate$1 100000 to the church.
The pope. according to the correspond
ent, was most indignant at the sug-
