Chicago, IN, May 26.- May wheat
shot mp to $l.354 yesterday, an
even cent above the high mark Of
Monday, and a new record for the
season. The rise was inevitable, as
the pit was filled with sleepless,
frenzied shorts, bidding wildly for
the cereal. At times there was diff
ference of 1c in the prices at oppo-
.site sides of the pit. Patten sold
Isparringly, but let go of small lots
whenever the market threatened to
get manageable Patton is santitive
to public criticism, and says he does
not care to see the price 80 above
l$l40. He was buying freely i'm July

the traders interpreted this as an eff
fort to discourage deliveries OF cGst

years. Little Dorothy Cay was the
unwitting cause of the catastrophe.
The little girls had formed in a cir
Gle and had drilled back and forth
in their white muslin dresses, the
audience gathering enthusiasm as
the entertainment progressed. Then
the lights wer extinguished and an
electric candle in the hand of each
child flashed out brilliantly. The
mates in the crowd cheered and ap-
plauded so enthusiastically that Dor

her candle The flames leaped TO the
white muslin and in a twinkling five
dresses were afire.

BACK To THE PRINT TIVE
Wagons and Pack Trains Brought
Into Use to Transport the Nee
essaries Of Lile-Tie Up
Is Complete.

Atlanta, Ga, May 26.--How less
than 100 striking Georgia railroad
firemen were able to stop practically
all trains in a territory 170 miles
long and from 25 to 100 miles wide,
was the knotty problem into which
United States Commissioner of La
Dor Neill plunged Immediately after
his arrival here last night. As an
emissary of conciliation. he facel
the first problem, the force behind
the strike; second, the announced
wish of many persons of this section
to have Georgians settle the matter
by arbitration, and third, the neces-
sity Of moving the United States
mail at once Within two hours after
his arrival Mr Neill was in confer
ence with General Manager Scott of
the railroad with no intimatiOn as
to when the negotiations might bring
results What a remarkable feat this
handful of union firemen accomp-
lished and what power was behind
them became apparent yesterday
when a considerable section of this
state was compelled to rely upon au-
/ tomobiles for passenger, mail and
! express service. And when the trans
Iportation Of such necessities Of life
as food dropped back into the meth
I0ds almost OF a former degree OF
| civilization to wagons and even pack
animals The four score firemen
alone did not produce this situation,
| 1t was the communities which the
railroad served that stopped every
wheel of the system during the past
| three days; not the officials of these
communities. but men who are said
! to have fighting blood in their veins,
who came forward and announced
| that negro firemen should not be
given seniority over white firemen,
i From some hidden source of pub
| lie opinion these men have up to now
made good this race ultimatum, Few
| of these men were firemen, some did
! not even claim to be acquainted with
| the striking firemen, and dozen or
more are said to have come from
counties lying some distance from
| the railroad. They accomplished the
tie-up without serious acts of vio-
lence. with a few cases of throwing
| stones. which appear to have been
accepted as warnings of what might
happen if trains continued to run.

OAK LEAF DIET KILLS CATTLE.

The stockmen grazing their cat
lie on the National Forests in the
Southwest, especially in Colorado and
New Mexico, have suffered serious
losses during the present summer
through the cattle eating oak leaves
In that section of the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To exc out
the scanty forage supply, the cattle
have browsed heavily on scrub oak
which covers large portions of the
range. Ordinarily the stock does
not browse much on The oak and the
little thew do eat, taken with other
eood is not injurious, but when, as
in the present seasonfi the oak browse
furnishes a large portion OF the daily
FOOD of the cattle. the results are
serious.
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
large percentage CT fannie acid
The action of this acid on the stom-
ach is extremely injurious and the
Losses have been unusually severe

Patience and Care are Necessary.

Patience and Care are Necessary.
Let them begin by educating the
child in early infancy, in the sub

For this purpose l know of nothing
better than the alphabet block meth

successful is the exercise of great
patience on the parents part They

The world has it's own yardstick
by which it measures a mans re-
ligion, and it's a very different stan
dard from what many of US be-
lieve it is. A long prayer in pub
lie and active service in church
work count for little unless support
ed by the graces that should adorn
a Christian life If a man is snap
pish, contrary, closefisted, a skinner
in trades, slow to meet his obliga-
cations, unpleasant in his deal
ings with his fellow man, the world
knows he is a miserable sinner, no
matter how loud his songs or how
long his prayers. Sometimes a man
succeeds in deceiving himself, but
he never deceiyes his fellowmen.-

coat becomes rough and the hair is
all turned the wrong way, as in
cases of loco poisoning. The animal
does not chew its cud and in a COM
paratively short time it becomes too
weak to remain on its feet and death
rapidly follows.
So far as is known the only avail
able remedy for this trouble is lin
seed oil given as a drench in amounts
from one to two quarts The
oil appears to overcome the in
furious effects of the tannic acid and
if the disease is not advanced too far
and the animal can be furnished
sufficient food so it will not be forced
to eat the oak, it will generally re-
cover. The best method, of course,
in handling the trouble, is, if possible,
to get the cattle away from the range
where the oak is found and furnish
them with plenty of fresh green feed
to build up again.-Forest Service
