Belief That Decreased Surplus viii
Restore Firmness--Week Be-
gins with Rather Dull
Movement

Unusually dull business for Monday made
the produce market inactive yesterday and the
entire movement was far behind week ago
There was an ample supply of all fruits and
green stuffs, and receipts of butter, eggs and
poultry were normal. Ranch eggs continue to
depress the market and 1t is promised that the
storage supply will soon be eliminated and
It's coloring of the market reduced, which is
deemed sufficient to restore stability. There
is a promise that much viii be doing in eggs
in a few days and 1t is freely told that steps
have been taken in the last week by those con-
trolling the egg market to relieve the market
of the surplus of storage. While weakness
was apparent yesterday it was deemed because
the situation was not absolutely certain.
The market otherwise was featureless except
for an advance of SOC in oregon onions, which
are very scarce.

It was an auction sale on Market

ed. He had offered a watch and chain
which he claimed to be worth $22. The
first bid was 81, and he could not get
a second "I'll find out If there is an
ounce Of nerve in this crowd" said he,
and, taking one dollar note from his
wallet, he held it up and asked for
bids. A laugh went through the
crowd, but for couple of minutes no
one bid on the note. "Come on" said
the auctioneer. what is the matter?
Don't you think the bill Is good?'
After another moment the voice Of a
small boy was heard. Five cents
he said. That's the game" said the
auctioneer. Who'll make it 1O?" A
man in the crowd bid 10 cents, and the
boy raised it to 15. The bidding went
on until the little fellow had got to
95 cents, when the auctioneer handed
him the note. He gave the auctioneer
another note and got nickel change.
The auctioneer then treated the crowd
to lecture on courage. Philadelphia

An Ak to Grind.

The familiar expression, Gan az to
grind" frequently attributed to Benja-
min Franklin, originated with Charles
Miner, who introduced the following
tale Of woe in a short pithy essay pub
lished In country newspaper Of Penn
syivania during the year 1911: A little
boy is asked by man with an az and
an engaging smile If his father has q
grindstone, and, the family being in
proud possession Of that implement Of
welfare, the youngster leads the way
into the back yard.
what a fine little fellow you arey'
exclaims the stranger, quite casually,
as though scarcely conscious of speak
ing loud. OF course the boy becomes
ut once his most obedient servant and,
by more well directed praise, brings
water to whet the wheel and heroic
ally turns the grindstone until his
small hands sting with blisters. But
the moment the ak is ground its owner
calls his little fetch and carry slave
rascal" brushes his newborn manly
pride by bidding him hurry Off to
school.-Los Angeles Times.

ting Erisiily, the driver goes on past
the door of the truck house to point
which to the layman seems much too
far beyond it, but which the driver
knows ry experience is just the right
distance, and there, and always at ex-
actly the same point, he tolds up his
team. Then instantly without any
doubt or hesitatioH he begins backing.
1t might seem as though backing
from where he is he would simply
back the other end Ct the truck past
the door of the house, but here is
where the expert tillerman comes in.
The ullerman guides that end, and he
guides 1t surely and easily around to

as the driver, up fifty or sixty feet
ahead, backs up, the tillerman swings

There were only :Lches, and very

Saw His Own Finish.

Some time ago the wife Of Judge
Blank lost her cook, and, since she had
no other resource, she rolled up her
sleeves and for week provided such
meals as the judge had not enjoyed
since those happy days when the
Blanks did not keep a cook. The
judges delight was so great that by
way Of appreciative acknowledgment
he presented Mrs. Blank with beau
tiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally the
incident was good deal noised about
among the social acquaintance Of the
Blanks and a spirit Of envious emula-
ton was developed in certain quarters.
It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome
rscited the story to her husband.
.'What do ] get, jerry" she asked,
IL ! will do the cooking for week?"
"Well," said Mr.. Jerome, "at the end
Of week, my dear, you'll get one of
those long Grape veils."-Argonaut.
