NEW YORK, March 7.-Tlle stock

having become increasingly uneasy
with the power of resistance shown by
the market through the week. News

from the recent mixed results. but the
action OF the market either gave rise
or plausibillty to some reports that
were current Of measures in contem-

This was to the effect that application

man. But for woman-well, a whole
calendar of saints would not be too
many for the special protection and
consolation of the woman who goes to
Washington with an AK to grind.
There are really three Hobbies at the
house end of the capitol. One has for
its habitat luxurious suite of rooms,
with soft carpets, beautiful paintings,
big leather chairs, fine tables.
In spite OF the sunshine which the
high windows let in there are discreet
corners where man can present his
case in comfort and confidence A
man, yes; but not woman. Not all
men either, for that matter.
A good share of the men who are
seeing congressman have to do their
lobbying, such as it is, in the corridor
near the main entrance to the house.
It's mixed lot of humanity that gath
ers there, eagerly or sadly waiting for
response to the cards that have been
sent in
The lame, the halt and the blind are
there; the out-at-elbows, the dis
couraged, an occasional crank, an &C.
casional shifty-eyed individual whose
ak, If he gets it ground, will not be
swung in any particularly pious pro-
ject. In the corners and the window

Why Uncle Joe Cannon Clings to His Job

That's what happened. Uncle Joe's
ambition for congressional honors re.
vived and he returned to the house.
After he had served a few terms and
was just about ready to throw the
pesky job over, some one out his way
announced that as congressman
Uncle Joe" had been a failure and
that some one else ought to- be nomi-
mated. That quickened his pulses
once more and again he sought the
nomination and election which but for
interference he might have spurned.
Thus it went, until his influence in the
house began to wax until important
chairmanships came his way, until the
speakership was in sight.
"And now" concluded the speaker,
my highest ambition is to be mem
Der of the house as long as live, to
die during a session of congress, and
to be buried at the public expense with
all you fellows at the func- al discus
sing, with bated breath, the question
Of my successor"
Not a word, not single word, dur
ing the entire dinner, about that other
high ambition which is ascribed to
him as favorite son of Illinois.

SIG An ACRE REALIZED ON

$50 acres at % bushels per acre,
which / sold for 80 cents per bushel;
and 20 acres oats yielding 60 bushels

so that my total crop realized $1,000
20. From this / deducted for expenses
Of threshing, hired help, etc.. $4,000.
leaving ME net profit on this years
crop of over $1,000"
Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas-

'The value of my crop per acre OF
wheat is $3.50. threshed 1,750
bushels Of wheat from 70 acres, and
was offered 80 cents a bushel for it.
Oats, Is acres, 500 bushels: and

If all the farmers were doing as well,

Yes, If Cipriano Danella has her.
He apparently wants a chance at my
life If Saliceti misses it. He may have
taken Enid to some out of the way
place, so that striving to find her
may die in his vendetta"
So he and Edwin walk their horses

~ his one great consuming ambi-
ton is not to be president of the
United States, but to have a grand
funeral at public expense-not yet a
while, Of course. He confided his am
bitio.i to a few congressional friends
on the occasion of a recent dinner
He took it up sectionally. He went
back to the first term he served in
congress and how he felt particularly
glum one day. Hale of Maine, then in
the house, read his thought.
Cannon" said Hale, you're think
ing about resigning right now or re-

word that some fellow out your way is
a candidate for your job and then you'll
get mad and insist on keeping it for
yourself"
