A Change in the Formula

A YOUNG woman whose father had been one
n of Judge keleys political lieutenants,
once applied to him for position, which he
promised to get for her the next day. The
Judge was busy and the following day when
The young woman called he had forgotten all
about her case; but upon being reminded,
apologized profusely and told her to call to-
morrow.
The next day the young woman again ap-
peared, but the Judge had again forgotten,
and said, " Please call tomorrow" This kept
up for several weeks, and the girl was getting
tired of it. The next time she called, the
Judge walked hurriedly into the room and
began the same old formula:
MY dear young lady, you will have to call
tomorrow, as l am very busy to-day
But, Judge" said the girl, that is what
every day, and you have always said to come
tomorrow"
Il beg your pardon" said Kelley with great
smoothness. Call day after Tomorrow

She Drank on Rare Occasions

THE REV. w. H. POND, of Wilder South
Dakota, tells an amusing anecdote of a
conversation he once had concerning temper
ance with an old German woman. DR.. Pond
had delivered a sermon at Mitchell on temper
ance, in which he set forth rather liberal views
and was returning home the train, when a
stout woman entered the car.
Every seat was occupied except half of ore
in which the preacher sat. Recognizing the
woman as one of his congregation of the morn
ing he moved over in his seat in order to give
her chance to sit down, which she did In
the course of the conversation which followed,
DR.. Pond asked the woman how she liked his
sermon.
"Ach, pater," said she, 1T vass much like
mineself belief | like leetle beer sometime;
but | meier only drink him when | vas alone,
und when l been NIT somebody"

Discipline in the Home

IN Baltimore there resides a comely Young
L widow, the mother of three interesting
children who have been brought up with the
greatest care and circumspection. The mother
is known to be the strictest of disciplinarians
and it is said that the lot of the youngsters has
not been an entirely joyous one.
One day the mother gathered about her the
children to whom she said, MY dears,
have something to tell you. Tuesday, shall
marry Professor Beggs, whom you all know
and respect"
This announcement was received by the
children in silence. Finally the eldest boy
asked naively, Mother, when are you going
to tell Professor Beggs2"

Penalties of Eating

A WASHINGTON physician one morning
"A was summoned by patient whose eccen-
tricities of diet had required calling him
many times before; but on this occasion the
patient was unusually frank about the cause
Of his trouble.
It's my own fault, doctor" came from him
in lugubrious tones. Experience teaches
one what he can eat and what he can't eat.
Last night | ate three cucumbers, few rad
ishes, a saucerful of Strawberries, and drank
a glass of ice water Then | went to bed,
However, I've learned one thing: a man has
no right to drink ice water just before re-
firing"

Reasons for Their Long Lives

TT was at a famous trial, and the aged witness
1 had just left the stand. He was fine
looking old man, with snow white hair and
clear eve, and had given his testimony to
the point, without hesitation.
As he took his seat the Judge turned to him
and said, Your testimony has been invalu-
able sir, and | wish to compliment you on the
excellent manner in which it was given. l
should like to ask your name again.
William Jones your honor"
And would you mind telling me how old
you are, Mr.. Jones?"
"Ninetv-nine years, your honor"
All" said the Judge, ''ninety-nine years
old, and the most concise testimony of the
trial! Truly remarkable To what habits of
life do you owe your robust health and clear
mind, Mr.. Jones?"
We'll your honor" replied the witness, Il
have Eever touched a drop of liquor in my
life, and have never used tobacco. | think
abstinence from these things has done more
to preserve my health than anything else
"There, gentlemen" said the Judge, is an
example of what an abstemious life will do for
a man
Presently the next witness was called and
took his place on the stand. He was tall
straight man, with hair as white as the first
witness, and if anything an even more robust
healthy frame. His eye was clear, and he
gave his testimony with even more cearness
and conciseness than the aged man who had
preceded him.
The Judge was astounded, and after the
testimony had been taken he turned to the
old man and said, What is your name
again, SIR"
Henry Jones, your honor"
ooh" said the Judge Are you any
relative of the Mr.. Jones who just left the
stand?"
His elder brother your honor"
And what is your age Mr., Jones?"
:" am one hundred and one, your honor"
"Ah, yes. And presume you also attribute
your great strength and unfailing memory
to your habits of abstinence"
"No, your honor" said the old man, shaking
his white head " can't say that do. l smoke
necessarily, and l don't suppose have gone
for day without several drinks of liquor for
the last seventy years.

Urban Rivalry

THERE are two nearby towns in my State"
says Western man, that daily exhibit
spirit of rivalry as intense any ever shown
by Minneapolis and ST. Paul.
A man from the first town, meeting a man
from the second one day. observed: Your
cemetery is not for moment to be compared
to ours
Perhaps not promptly returned the
second town man; for understand that the
cemetery is the only part of your town offering
inducements to permanent residents.

1t Was Still There

THE story is told of clergyman, who, after
L he had finished his sermon, heard one of
his congregation say, Yes, it was a good
sermon; but he stole it."
A short time afterward the preacher called
on the man, resented the accusation, and asked
him to retract what he had said
Il am not" answered the man, likely to
take back anything that l have said; but in
this case will, for on returning home and re-
ferring to the book whence l thought you had
taken your sermon, l found that it was still

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, June 14-Ideal weather in this
country and Canada for the new crop
caused fresh decline in wheat prices
here today, September delivery closing at
net loss of 2l2d22se. Corn was down

were 71AQ10c to 15c lower
Sentiment in wheat was extremely bear
ish all day and prices declined steadily
throughout the session. feature of
trading was liberal sales by several of
the leading bulls who have been taking
profits freely the past few days. The
principal weakening influence was the
favorable weather in the United States
and Canada. The beginning of harvesting
operations in the southwest helped to
stimulate selling by pit traders. Lower
prices at Liverpool ia the face of the
strong close. here yesterday had a de-
pressing effect early in the day. The mar
ket closed weak and almost at the low
est point of the day. September opened
1kGssc to 11sm11c lower at 93lsc to 9S34e,
sold off to 975sc and closed at &c. July
sold between s914c and s12sc and closed
at S91Ic.
Persistent liquidation by local and out
side and longs caused weakness in corn.
The market was also subjected to heavy
sales by cash houses, which was gener-
ally taken to indicate an increase in coun-
try offerings. The close was weak. Sep
TENDER opened &c to &c lower, at 527se

51Ikc July ranged between 5l%c and

cradle strength early, while other options

New York. June 14-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
Weather, crop and retail trade condi-
tiOns over a wide area of country have
changed for the better this week, and
the feeling is more optimistic than for
parts of the central west and in some
sections of the south, higher temperatures
have encouraged freer buying of summer
goods and made for more cheerful adyices
as TO the wheat and cotton crops. Agree
ment is general that retailers stocks the
country over are large, that reduction
sales are numerous, and that filling in
orders from jobbers and manufacturers
are a negligible quantity as yet. In lum-
Der, interior buying at large western cen
tiers is most active and Oregon logging
camps have shut down to avert lower
prices.

weeks prices, but electroiytie is somp-
what lower. Business is quiet. Euro

EXPRESSES GRATITUDE

George Muller on behalf Of the Lii
cense Committee. this evening issued
the following statement.
THE License Committee IS very
grateful TO the business men of the
city and to citizens generally, for the
splendid support given the license
cause wher the license side was most
fully presented and advocated, and the
edi cational work most thoroughly
done.
THE committee believes that if the
lower counties had used the same
methods, the victory would have been
general. We believe that the result
will be followed by a more careful ad-
ministration of the business. and be
conducive TO the interests of all the
men in the trade who are disposed to
obey the law, and thus promote the
general welfare and god order of the
community
"We wish also to express our ap-
probation for the courtesy extended
by the newspapers and their fairness
in permitting the use of their columns
to present our side of the case. AS
Wilmington represents four-fifths of
the licensed trdde of the state and
the majority i'm Wilmington will be
largely in excess of the dry majorities
in the lower counties, il is a very sat
isfactory Endorsement of the license
system by a majority Of the people Of
Delaware"
