How Nails Were Named.

Several accounts are given Of the
origin of the terms "siXpenny," eight
penny" "tenpenny," and so on. as ap
piled to the various sizes Of the old
fashioned nails. According to one
statement, when nails were made by
hand, the penny was taken as stand
ard Of weight. and six were made to
equal the weight of copper penny.
Another explanation Is that tenpenny
nails originally sold for tenpence =
hundred, sixpenny nails for sixpencs
a hundred. and 50 on, the smaller nails
selling for the lower price. Still an.
other explanation is that 1000 nails OF
the tenpenny size used to weigh ten
pounds, 1000 of the sixpenny size, six
pounds, and so on. or the ordinary six
penny nails. there are eighty to the
pound; Of the eightpenny there are If
ty; Of the tenpenny. thirty-four; Of the
twelvepenny, thrty-nine.

A BABY.SHOW.


Over the green lawns OF the Boston

waving their plumy tails in the triumph
of their undisputed rights. For these
creatures, with their quick movements
and saucy chatter enjoy welcome free
dom Of the ground, and they store their
harvest without thought of tax or dis
possession. That they have their cares
and forethought Is evident by their
careful attention to business and accu-
mutation OF wealth. That there Is also
matronly pleasure and pride OF family
In these tree households is shown by
the experience of lady who lives In .
suburban town.
The lady had made n pet of one OF
the fine gray squirrels which dwelt on
her premises. She would sit on her
piazza and feed the pretty creature
from her hand. The squirrel soon be-
came quite fearless and would stay
about its friend, and even curl up In
her lap. but was always alert to dart
OF ut the approach of another person.

Governor Charles 4. Hughes Of New

made by him, candidate for political
honors higher than he has now.
Chicago-The entire west Is against
Hughes candidacy for president. This
is the dictum from republican lead
ers.
There is no Hughes for president"
sentiment in Oklahoma. With the ma
jority of the politicians there Is a
feeling Of willingness to support any
man whom President Roosevelt in
dorses for the nomination. In some
quarters Fairbanks sentiment is also
under way.
AS between Hughes and Taft for
presidential timber, the sentimen in
Iowa is strongly in favor Of Taft.
Taft is easily the favorite Of republi-

WHEAT
GOES UP
WILDSCENLS IN WHEAT
PIT ATCHICAGO.
MOB OF SPECULATORS DRIVES
THE PRICE UPWARD AT
CHICAGO.

Chicago, May 1.-THE lid is loose
on the Chicago wheat pit. A shouting.
screening mob of spectators lifted
1t high during the short Saturday ses-
sion, replacing it lightly, ready for an
other boost Monday.
That it will be boosted high as a
kite is the common prediction, and
wheat at SIPS is promised soon.
The bull crowd stampeded the pit
and the buying element was in control.
December wheat closed With rush at
IS cents, a gain of cents for the day
and 8 cents during the week, while
July closed at 81 "a cents, gain of
Z "a cents for the week. There were
high figures for the year. Bears who
had not needed the ominous warnings
of the early days Of the week fran
tically endeavored to get from under,
adding to the excitement.
Spectators went into the pit and
fought shoulder to shoulder with their
clerks in an effort to fill the rush Of
orders to buy" which poured in from
all over the country.
Excitement such as has not been
seen on the board since the "black
rush" scare Of 1904 existed The fran
tic efforts made by the bears to get
from under the advance were met by
a demand which came from all parts
of the country and swept everything
before it. The high mark for the July
option was 81 3-4 cents, for September,
SO S-4 cents and for December, IS IL
cents.
The cause of the upturn which has
taken place in the last few days is the
widespread belief that this years
crop of winter wheat will show big
decrease as compared with that of
1906. Cold weather in the west and
northwest, freezing temperatures in
the Canadian northwest and damage
said to have been done in the south
west by the green bug aided the rush
upward.
1t was reported here today from
Winnipeg that not more than Is per
cent of the estimated acreage had
thus far been seeded in the province
of Manitoba.
The local traders were Of the opin-
ion that wheat has been advancing too
rapidly during the last few days and
y that a reaction was due. So many or
ders poured in from the country, how
ever, that it was certain that the ex-
pected setback would not come until
later in the day. Once trading was in
full swing the orders from the coun-
try came so fast and in such number
that the local crowd was carried be-
fore 1t.
. The food Of buying orders con-
tinued, and when the market closed
the prices were close to the high mark
of the day and the movement seemed
to have lost no force.

SUBMARINE IS A WONDER.
Boat Can Dive in a Mo-
ment's Time.

Newport, R. ALI American rec
ords for quick diving by submarine
boat were broken recently when the
submarine Octopus went through a
series of extraordinary tests in Cod
dington cove. Weather conditions
we're not favorable.
The principal test was to determine
whether the Octopus. while afloat,
would be able to get submerged quick,
ly if an enemy should be sighted. Run
ming at full speed on the surface, pro-
PEELED by gasoline engines, the Octo-
pus received a signal from members
Of the trial board on board the ten
der Nina. Immediately the engines
were stopped and power was furnish
ed by storage batteries. Diving rud-
ders were adjusted, the submarine
took 81 tons of water into her tanks
and sank to a depth of 20 feet. This
was accomplished in four and one-half
minutes. A second test reduced the
time by about half minute.
The next test was to gain informa-
ton as to the ability of the boat to
make complete turn within a given
area. A test was also made to deter
mine the ability of the Octopus to
come to full stop while running at
full speed under water.
When coming to the surface from
one of her dives the Octopus sighted
in the lifting fog tug and tow of
barges. The submarine Immediately
dived and escaped the danger of a
collision. At another time when the
Octopus was running awash at speed
of 10 knots she dived and was CON-
pletely submerged IN 90 seconds.
