THAT POLAR CONTROVERSY.

! yearn to rest my weary soul,
For it IS weary of the pole.
Ny every nerve is set on edge
By talk of polar dog and sledge.
I'm filed with bitter grief and woe
With all this talk of ice and snow;
I'm tired of Peary and of Cook
Please get the hook. Please get the
hook!
] scan the morning papers page
And l am filed with bitter rage,
For every place / chance to look
lis either Peary or Doc Cook.
It's Cook says this or Peary that,
And each keeps talking through his
hat.
Each says the other has no fact
Please get the ak! Please get theax!
From home to work is very far
So | chase for trolley car,
And just as one heayes into sight
Some Anticipated, grinning wight
VIII stop me long enough to say,
Have you read Peary's dope today.
Then far from sight my car has run
Please get gun! Please get gun!
start upon my daily task
And then some dud butts in to ask
Which one think was first to stroll
Across that dadbinged northern pole.
And then my figures are askew
So / must stop and start anew.
They'bore me till I'm fairly sick
Please get a brick! Please get brick
Then home at eve I quickly go
With hopes that there I'll have show
To get away from polar dope,
And find, alas, shattered hope.
For as l ope the door l see
The kids and a geography.
And then / see my finish quick
Please grab pick Please grab a
pick!
At last, when l am nearly dead,
strip and tumble into bed,
And think III lose my woes in sleep;
But soon the dreams begin to creep,
And l am first with Peary's ship,
Then DER the ice with Cook I'll slip,
Until wake in chilling fright
And lay awake the livelong night.

civinq Him AWAY.

And th"rc was a certain man
who, being u merchant with a trade
to look after, was a member of the
church-in fact, an elder therein.
One day he invited his pastor home
to dinner, and, while they sat in the
parlor waiting for the call to table,
he began to tell of brother elders
misconduct and grievous sin.
q only tell you this because you
are the pastor, and l think you
ought to know it. I never mention
it to any one else"
And he repeated this several
times during the recital. As it was
about completed in came his little
daughter. Catching the subject of
the conversation, she broke in with
this exclamation:
MY goodness, pa, you're surely
not telling that old story again.

DON'T Be A GAME HOG

With the coming of the autumn,
the hunting season begins, and soon
the huntsman and the hounds will be
abroad in the land-and, more's the
pity, the game hog will be again
with US.
The game hog, the mrn who hunts
not for the love of sport, but that he
may take advantage of every oppor-
tunity to kill whatsoever he may en-
counter, regardless of the laws pro-
hibiting the killing of game of certain
kinds, is a nuisance, and his practices
are heartily condemned by every true
sportsman.
The game laws are made in order
that all the game may not be killed
off in few seasons. They are of
greater benefit probably to the sports
mar of the state than to any other
class of people, and the sportsman
should exert their efforts to see that
they are obeyed. 1t is pretty hard
to obey the laws strictly at all times.
There is temptation to disregard
them when particularly fine speci-
men of prohibited game crosses the
path, but it is only by the observance
of the laws that any game whatsoever
will be preserved for the years to come
So, don't be a game hog, and
don't permit any one else to be a
game hog if you can prevent it.

PATTON'S WHEAT GAINS
EXCEED ALL ESTIMATES

CHICAGO, May This was delivery

On May contracts today, 100000 bushels
OF wheat were delivered, practically all
Of ii to Bartlett, Patten & Co.
Brokers have hazarded a guess that
Mr.. Patten paid an average of S1.O8 for
his May wheat. Assuming this figure to
be approximately correct, Mr. Patten
might have sold the wheat delivered him
this morning at $1.12 for delivery in July,
which would show a profit of cents per
bushel. May wheat, however. opened to-
day at 1924 Ia to 1924 ID, and a good
demand for actual wheat would enable
the bull leader to sell at a much greater
profit.
While May l is commonly known as
delivery day, sellers have until the end
of the month to turn over the wheat
which they have sold. Formerly only
No. 2 red winter wheat could be deliver
ed on future contracts, but a new rule of
the board made two years ago, No 2
spring wheat was made standard. A large
quantity of this latter. it is expected, will
find it's way down from the head of the
lakes when navigation opens. thus SWELL
ing the amount in the Patten elevators.
No. 2 red wheat is selling at 81 Al ga to

MONEY AN ISSUE IN
CHINESE REBELLION

NEW YORK, May 1.-Newberry d.
Lawton, who was sailing master of the
victorious cup defender. Reliance. has
brought suit in the surrogate court for
share of the $685.. OOO which the Chinese
government paid for the suppression of a
rebellion in one of its provinces in 1859.
That rebellion was suppressed by Gener-
al Frederick T. Ward and Cyrus Law
ton, who organized a force and marched
against the insurgents. Long after the
death of both Ward and Lawton the re-
ward, as a part of the Chinese indemnity
fund in the recent Boxer uprising. was
paid to Mrs. Georgiana Ward Amidon
widow of Henry c. Ward. who was a son
of the general.
Newberry Lswton, as a son of Cyrus
Lawton, and a partner of General Ward
in the suppression of the rebellion. now
demands an accounting OF this reward
and his share. He declares that his ia
Their was to have received ten per cent
of whatever the Chinese government was
to have paid.
