and picked up the rabbit and the noun

anything to his wife.
1t was to the merrymaking by candlelight
that they all looked forward The morn

afternoon in decking the cottage with it;
and Dan himself forgot his troubles in a
secret work of decoration. Shutting him.
self in the shed. he planted the mountain
ash in deep box filled with leaf mould
and clipped off a few unsightly leaves and
tied bits of gayly colored paper on the
branches. When the rabbit pie was at
last placed on the table in the full light of
the solitary candle. he told his two eldest
boys to bring in something which they
would find in the shed.
In the. meantime his wife, Doll, served
him with some of the pie But with the
first piece of rabbit that he ate, the thought
of his misfortune overcame him, and he
burst into tears, and told his wife what had
happened. She took the news in a very
strange way.

to the mountain ash, which the boys were

His eye had been attracted by a little
mountain ash growing above the warren.
Being young tree, it had not lost its red

He pulled it up by its roots from the

Rough knew his work well. He raced

Future Grain and Provision.

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.-The wheat market opened
easy, with c'ices shade TO &c lower During
the first feN minutes OF trade prices dipped still
lower, bur advanced again and held strong
the balance of the day. Final quotations on De
cember were at s100ss and on May at 81 1.03s4
There was some selling during the first half of
the day, based on an official forecast of showers
tonight in Nebraska, but the report OF cool
weather in Argentina completely Offset this in
huence. The report claimed there had been
frost last night in Rosario, in which district the
wheat crop Is said to be the farthest advanced
and the most susceptible to damage. Duluth re-
ported good export demand for wheat and
Minneapolis reported -four in good demand Re-
cepts in the northwest liberal.
Corn was strong nearly sll day In consequence
OF the brisk demand by shorts. who were actu-
ated by fear of wet weather in the corn belt
At the sample tables low grades of corn closed
about 1c lower. The market closed strong at
the top with prices y %c higher than the pre-
vious close. December closed at 6334c
Buying by local interests and commission
houses caused frmness in oats. but prices showed
only slight gains final quotations being un-
changed to 14c higher Cash oats were steady
for the ordinary grades and about 1kc higher for
the best grades. The December delivery closed
at 4SAc.
Provisions were weak all day in consequence
of selling inspired by liberal receipts of hogs at
western packing centers. Receipts of hogs in the
points were about 10000 more than on the cor
responding day year ago. At the close prices
were 5Q10c lower
