Los ANGELES. Cal, Feb, s.-Mrs. A.

that President Roosevelt had struck the

glad 10 hear from you that your daughter

so absurd as not to be worth denial.
Numerous stories OF this kind are started
from time to time by foolish or malicious
people. Occasionally l am obliged TO deny
them. but as a rule 4 find 1t best simply
TO ignore them. because denying them
calls attention TO them and gives a

The official document then tells us in the
words of its contributor how France saved
by the adoption of the idea of Bremontier, one
of the sons of the seemingly doomed region.
The seeds of the pine. the pin maritime" of
the French, were gathered and sprouted care
fully and the young trees were planted in
places where the moving sands did not over
whelm them until their tough roots had taken
a firm hold their wiry leaves, which loved the
briny spume, would offer no resistance to the
wind, and, falling about their roots, would give
shelter and nutriment until forest grew which
would hold the sands in check and save the
threatened interior from desoation."
1t was Napoleon who seized upon the idea
of Bremontier. His vision penetrated the
centuries and he saw the march of the deadly
dunes arrested and the desert they had created
made to blossom like the rose
The consul tells us that after century has
passed the statue of Bremontier looks down

dunes he showed how to conquer To-

fields rest secure. The gray dunes which were
sweeping over the land have become serried
fortresses which shelter civilization and pros

At least one real live item was contributed
not long ago by G. Bic Ravndal, United States
consul at Beirut Syria, to the pages of the
consular reports. When this was put into the
publication 1t is probable that the editor-n-
chief was on vacation. Otherwise the Beirut
consul's tale would have been put on the first

American countrymen.
Some of the other consuls abroad men who
made pretense to literary ability, have
turned in from time to time trade reports that
were picturesque in their nature and written
with extreme ceverness. Not long ago the gov

consuls given place of prominence. and
he succeeded in making of the consular reports
a publication of real interest.
In the records of the department there Is
one report which from the first paragraph holds
the close attention of the reader. 1t was read
the other day by one who did not know until
the last line was reached whose hand had been
at work in its writing The thought was, here
is something worth while.
The title of the article was simply "Refor-

showed little of interest Then the eye reached

its subsequent career. His tale of the thresh

"Its triumphal march through Damascus
stirred the White City of the East from center
to circumference. On its way into the country
it broke down bridges innumerable. but pulled
itself out of the creek beds beautifully, and it
had the honor of being started on its pioneer

estimation. In the Hauran to-day thousands
of acres are lying idle; they likely now to
be reclaimed, and the predatory Bedouin tribes
who infest the country will have to retire be-
fore the new order of things
Consular positions do not pay large sums of
money, but the life is in many respects an at
tractive one and there always many ap-
plicants for any vacancies which may exist.
1t is virtually necessity that the person who
desires place in the consular service shall be
able to speak at least two modern languages:
that is, one in addition to English. While the
examinations are not supposed TO be hard some
men who have been through college with credit
in their studies have failed to answer properly
enough of the questions put to them to give
them hold on the service.
At times the United States consuls have
dangers to encounter. 1t was exceedingly un-

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-Talk of a prob able falling off in the movement of wheat in the United States next week inspired active buying of that grain on the Board of Trade today, which resulted in a material advance, prices at the close showing net gains of 5-S to 1 5sc. Corn and oats closed firm and provisions barely steady.
 The action of the wheat market was a surprise 10 the majority of the traders, who had expected prices 10 continue the downward course which had been travelled quite consistently during the week. Leading elevator interests, however. gave the market vigorous support and this brought out active covering by shorts.
 Demand was chiefly for the Decem- her delivery, and the price of that option advanced nearly Pc from the low point of the day. December clos. ed at $1.03, after ranging between s1.01 S-S and s1.03M.
 The bulge in wheat caused moder. ate firmness in the corn market dur. ing the late trading.
 Trading In oats was dull all day. At the close prices were a shade to 'sc higher, compared with yesterdays final figures.
 Provisions displayed renewed strength early in the session, owing to urgent covering by shorts. The principal demand was for lard Late in the day an easier tone developed on profit taking, and at the close prices were 5e higher to 507hc low CT
