He's a human tea kettle blowing his

SO loose that when he does hitch it on

He's the busiest builder in town, but
he shows no results. His foundations

He's first cousin to a water bucket

He's the chronic failure-the man

He figures only the chances for sue

not where he can lose.
He's usually honest. He intends to
be straight, but he isn't honest to him
self, and his self-dishonesty involves
everyone whose confidence he gains,
and so he seems dishonest to them.

The New York World of Thursday

story:
''The navy department. has an
nounced that the sixteen battleships
which made the trip around the world
are to be remodeled, thus practically
confirming the reports current since
the return of the fleet that the voyage
practically wrecked the navy.

The Marks Of the Chronic Failure
By Herbert Kaufman.

He journeys through life with his
head butting into the clouds and his
feet dragging through the quagmire.
He's trance medium, schemer, a
visionary, chaser of the "will-o'-
the-wisp." He rushes on without
seeing the road, and, like charging
bull, doesn't know that there's stone
wall ahead OF him until he batters
himself full of bumps
He builds weird ladders to the
fairyland of his fancy, but the trouble
with his ladders is that they have no
rungs. He tries to climb up on the
steps of theory, and his progress is
just as rapid as that of a sprinter who
attempts to lower the hundred-yard
record on a treadmill.
He's imbued with ideals instead of
ideas. His whole career is an endless
series of rehearsals which never
eventuate into performances. He's all
right as far as he goes, but he's short
on practical mileage. Fate always
kills him off at deserted water-tank,
halfway between start and finish.
His brain is so jammed with il
lusions that there isn't room for con-
illusions.
His bridges end in midstream-they
never reach the other side. He sets
off down the thoroughfare, and before
he has fairly started, the first cross
road catches his attention and off he
goes, without moments considera-
ton as to where he'll land.
He isn't lazy-he's merely hazy.

Touch Highest Point, With One Ex
ception, in Twenty Years.

Chicago, April 7.-On sensational
opening wheat on the board of trade
touched the highest point, with one
exception, in more than twenty years.
First sales of May wheat were at $124
to $1.25h, the latter figure being 81
cents higher than the previous clos
ing quotation. Opening figures for
July wheat were 13s to 2h cents
higher, sales being made at $1.1O to
Sill.
The highest previous price for May
wheat within twenty years was
reached during the Letter deal in
1893, when the price reached $1S5.
At that time the price of bread in
Europe, notably Italy, advanced SO
that the peasantry suffered severely.
The market worked within the open
ing range of prices the remainder of
the session until a minute before the
close, when May jumped in a flash
from $1.24M to $1.25A, at which it
closed.

The ttBushel'' Tax On Grain
By Representative Elmer E. Adams.

Hon. Elmer E. Adams, member OF
the lower house from Otter Tail
county, writes of the 'sbushel" tax on
wheat and other grains in his paper.
the Fergus Falls Journal, as follows
Among the measures passed at the
last session of the Legislature was one
levying a "bushel'' tax on grain.
This is a twin sister of the tonnage
tax, and was introduced as an anti
dote to the measure providing for a
stamp tax, on all trades executed in
the various chambers of commerce in
the state. The measure provides that
every person or corporation operating
an elevator shall pay a tax of one
fourth of mill per bushel on all
wheat and fax received, and one
eighth of mill per bushel on all
other grain received or handled dur
ing the year. The bill was introduced
shortly after the measure imposing
a tonnage tax and that providing for a
stamp tax on trades IN FUTURES. Inc
tonnage tax passed both bodies. The
stamp tax on futures passed the house
and went to the senate where it re-
posed for the last month of the session
in the pocket of Senator Ed SMITH
and never escaped. The "bushel"
tax passed the house only short
time before the close, but they at
tended to it in the sen ate, and it passed
there without attracting much atten-
ton during the last days of the
session.
It is not known how much revenue
the "bushel" tax will produce, but in
view of the fact that all Of the grain
which is not used for seed or flour at
home goes into an elevator one or
more times, it ought to produce con-
siderable revenue. There is some
