Death of Mrs. Barker.

Mrs. Callie Barker, nee Broad
water, was born in Galloway
county, Mo, So years ago. She
was converted early in life, and
united with the Methodist
Church, and lived a consistent
Christian life until the day of
her death.
She was united in marriage to
Jno. NJ. Barker August 5th, 1908.
She was a kind, sympathetic
and loving friend. She was ever
ready when her strength would
permit to administer to those in
need. Possessed with good
knowledge of drugs, she was
better enabled to administer to
the sick as one of old. She was
devoted to her Lord and the
Church, and was always in her
place, and could be counted on to
do her share of church work
when she was able.
She was an active member Of
the Ladies Aid, the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society, and
took great interest in the work of
the w. c. T. u.
In addition to there duties,
she was an agent for the Orphan
Home in St. Louis, and she was
instrumental in helping to place
many little orphans in happy
homes,
Though Sister Barker was a
sufferer for more than eight
months, she bore it with great
fortitude.
The deceased leaves two sis
ters, Mrs. Dixie Pulliam. of New
York, Mrs. Jasper of Napo, Cali
fornia; two brothers, Guy Broad
water OF Webster Grove and
Rob't Broadwater of Oklaf
with many friends to M
loss.
The funeral was con-
the Methodist Church by her
pastor, Rev. ]. NJ. Bone. assisted
by Rev. ]. F. Nevins, and the re-
mains were inferred in the city
cemetery.

ONE QUESTION ALWAYS ASKED
Employer Of Labor Wants 10 Know
II Formation Of Jaw 10 Natural
or Acquired.

"There ia one question always ask
a man who wants a job" remarked
the business man who has to hire
several hundred men for different p0
sitions each year.
aThe question | always ask them
is. DO you smoke pipe much? OF
course the answers are various. Some
OF them smoke a pipe a great deal and
others not at all. Some smoke Gig
arettes, although seldom can get a
man to admit It, There seems to be a
general guilty feeling when man is a
cigarette smoker Some Of them
smoke cigars My business Is such
that II makes very little difference to
their Availability to me no matter
what they smoke.
Why do ask about the pipe? Well,
not that | have the least interest In
their habits, or that | have any pre-
tudice one way or another In the mat
mater. The reason Is that want to
know whether the formation Of their
lower jaws is natural or acquired.
"A man with firm lower jaw. ID al

DEALINGS AcT|vE|MEWS IS BEAR|SH
But Chicago Wheat Market Was Re

Were Weak.

Chicago. Sept 20.-WHEAT.-Con
sidering the vast amount of bearish
news current today, the market was
remarkably steady. September in
fact. displayed considerable firmness
and increased its premium over De
|cember by la@Ssc. The relative
strength of the current month was
due to the brisk demand for cash
wheat here and to the decreased re-
ceipts at Kansas City and st. Louis.
Arrivals today at the two southwest
ern centers were 1884 900 bushels
compared with 74S,000 bushels on the
corresponding day a year ago.
A factor of great Importance was
the continued enormous movement in
the northwest which established to-
day new high record mark for
laily arrivals. The total receipts at
Minneapolis and Duluth aggregated
2,3lG cars, which is approximately 800
carloads more than mad ever beer
received in any previous day at these
two points. No signs of abatement
are apparent but on the contrary in.

In Stock Market Yesterday-Favor
ties Resume Their Old Positions
In Speculation.

New York, Sept. 20.-Encourage-
ment for the resumption OF specula-
tive operations was found today in
the substantial recuperation in the
banking surplus disclosed by last
weeks bank statement, the scaling
down of the loan account and the fact
that the loans have been shifted from
the banks to the trust companies did
not detract from the satisfaction felt
at the restoration of the broader mar
gin in the surplus. The favorites in
speculation resumed their prominent
position and rose on large transac-
lions. The interior money markets
reported rising tendency in the in
terest rates and an increased pressure
of demand The Bank of Germany adj,
vanced the discount rate from 312 to
4 per cent as measure of protection
against the heavy drain expected in
connection with October settlements.
The private discount rate rose both
in London and Paris While competi-
ton for the weekly arrival of gold in
the London market was withdrawn,
Russia took all the available supply
at a reduction of penny an ounce
in price. Our foreign exchange be
came firmer United States Steel
rose to ne wrecord, helped by the
highly favorable reports from all
branches of the metal trade. St. Paul
did not participate in the upward
price movement and later became de
pressed as the result Of the disap.
pointment that no action was taken
at the annual meeting Saturday which
would supply rights to stockhold
ers, as had been expected. The I'M
paired corn and cotton prospects had
some effect on the demand for mer
chandise. The irregular tone of the

old man Davis from the Buck Creek

The postmaster looked at him cold
