sney Lending.

One of the most interesting types on the American track is the professional money lender. Money lending is ab- soluteIy forbidden, and so the entire transaction must be conducted sub rosa, but if a person who is on goes broke and he has some article of jew elry of value with him it is easy for him to realize money on it.
 The lender is an irreproachably dressed person who sits on the grand stand with the rest of the crowd and is known in his true coiors only to the habitues of the track. A man who wants some capital makes an unobtru- sive sign to him and twirls ring he may be wearing at the time. Shortly afterward both will proceed to res taurant where, for the benefit of en- lockers. they will greet each other as ordinary acquaintances. The exchange Is then made over the drink they order: the loan broker has the ring and the bettor his capital. If the latter eashes in on the next race he will return the money and the agreed upon premium and will receive back his rfng.-From '9The People and the Ponies," by c. T. Peters, in Bohemian.

BATTLE IN WHEAT ON CHICAGO
 nflaainr
 UHAH6E
Patten Gets After Armour Who Is Expected to Repeat the Trick His Father Worked On Joe Letter

CHICAGO. Oct. 15.--A battle royal In the Chicago wheat pit ts being waged between J. ogden Armour and U. A. Patten, the leader of the bear contingent.
 Not since the days of the memora- bic Letter corner in 1897 has the pit seen so tremendous struggle, and there is a nervous prospect that wheat will go soaring in price before the battle IS ended
 Patten is credited with having line of from 15,000,000 to 20,0O0.000 bushels, while Armour is heavily short just as his father was in 1897, when Joe Letter attempted to corner the market.
 As to the outcome of the struggle, opinion is divided. Disappointing harvests the world over this season. and serious shortage in Europe are said to be the. basis of Patten's trad ing, while Armour is said to rest his case on the huge stocks of cash wheat in Chicago elevators and the prospect that Argentina will come to his res cue with the largest crop ever raised south of the equator
 There are said to be 20,000, 900 bushels of cash wheat in the Chicago elevators. The bulk of this is owned by Armour. who, like his late father. P. D. Armour, IS one If the greatest i merchants in wheat in the United States.
 The bears declare that if Patten at tempts to demand delivery of the grain on contracts, Armour will over whelm him with a flood of wheat so fenormus that his back will be broken. I just as Joe Letter was crushed by the elder Armour ten years age. In that memorable campaign, Ar mour. senior, was short, and he did 1 not have the wheat iii his elevators Some of it was in cargo on the Great Lakes and had passed the Soo on it's way to Buffalo. Armour, senior, re- called his ships when Letter de manded the wheat. It was late in the season and navigation was clos ing sn the northern ports and in the straits. Armour, senior, chartered kice-breaking tugs to keep the Duluth harbor free of ice until special trains all over the Dakotas and Minnesota ] could rush the wheat he needed to fill his contracts to the lake ports. It was tremendous battle while it idSNeu. DuL AFmOus, StulOE, Iildue good" and filled his contracts. | Will his son win the battle in a similar manner? That IS the ques- ,tion every bull and bear in Chicago wheat pit is asking.
 Evidence that the struggle is to be a fierce one was shown when May kwheat slumped from s111 Is to s1.09,
 then jumped back to $1.101-4 at the f.close. Pit sleuths declare that much of the swing was tracebale to Armour.
 The break disconnected the bull forces, but Patten accepted the chal-
 lenge and rushed to the support Of
 the market, forcing such a quick rally that the smaller shorts were carried | off their feet. Developments favored the bulls somewhat. Several leading Econcerns had direct cables from Ar
 gentina that crop prospects were ex, Ecellent. Frosts predicted had not ma. | terialiZed

Conservatism Will Be the WatchWord In Fight On
 Political Extremists

LONDON, Oct. 16. = Throughout Great Britian, the conservative bat talions are getting into motion. Our purpose,'i announces Commanderin- Chief Arthur J. Baffour, former Prem. fer, lis to overwhelm the enemies of state-those who would carve Ireland out of the United Kingdom, destroy the House of Lords as an ineffective and reactionary chamber, annihsIate the churches and by legislation bid works"
 The papers teem with evidences of widespread response to this battle cry. The conservatives, expecting a general election sn year or two, have got together the biggest campaign fund ever collected iii England
 The contributors belong to the aris- tocratic upper and middle classes, who are alarmed at the advance of socialism, both as a piecemeal pTac- tical movement and as a comprehen- ssye political doctrine.
 Things have gone quite awry in our country" says Sir Douglas Straight, the famous editor. "Rever- ence for everything that ought to be reyered is disappearing. Presumtion and irsolence prevade the lower class es and property has come to be re- garded as something that has been stolen from the masses and must be returned to them. The conscience of country must bestir itself to avert a catastrophe"
 American campaign methods are likely to be outdone in the ensuing educational canvass. The conserva- lives intend to dispatch hundreds of specify built vans equipped with magic lanterns to carry the old polit, ical gospel to the people.
 Erilyant spekers VII accompany these vehicles. holding meetings in the streets and public squares of fac tory towns and at cross road saloons where the rnral population ..cat theirs Each van will leave a trail of leaflets and phamplets ex plain.ng the cauntry's saving policy as the conservatives understand 1t.

(Tucson Citizen.)
 Physical culture along systematic a..A e4sAntifie lines will ha mart of the regular high school course in Tucson tbis year and in this respect Tucson will set the pace for the ter ritory.
 This department will be in charge of Prof O. E Kuhn, who is one of the regular high school instructors. Prof. Kuhn is one of the new members of the high school faculty and is q graduate of Baker University at Bald win, Kansas.
 To especially 1t himself for in- 'structing in physical culture, Prof. Kuhn spent the entire summer taking a special course in the summer school of Harvard University. He will, in addition to instructing in gymnastics and the various drills that will be gone through with, also have charge of any athletic teams that may be formed. which will include football. baseball, basketball tennis or other sports.
 It is the primary purpose, however, of the physical culture department to teach the high school pupils how to 6ASTClSe pEOpSIlg lo gam TUT tHchi- selves the highest possible develop ment along physical lines. It is com ing to be more and more realized that there is need of instruction along these as well as along mentl lines. Sports in connection with the physi. cal culture occupy a secondary posi- tion entirely. In addition to having the physical culture classes. Prof Kuhn instructs several of the regular high school branches.
 It will not be possible to get the physical culture work down to the best standard, however, until the new high school building is completed which will be some time during the month of February Neither will il be possible to give much instruction in manual training nor in domestic science until that time. It Is expected that considerable attention will be paid to both of these departments as they are very practical.
