intellectual stimulants.

To all engaged in literature work
there comes a time when for the time
being the Imagination flags. ideas
seem TO have vanished and all appeals
to inspiration seem to be powerless.
There are well-known cases in which
great writer's have had recourse to
artificial stimuli. Voltaire and Bal
Eac found what they required in cof-
fee Goethe preferred burgundy,
while De Musset and Edgar Allan
Poe fed to alcohol. Hasheesh was to
Baudelaire what opium was to the
author OF "The Confessions" In his
early days Gothic found that indulg-
ence in wine impeded his intellectual
work. for he had noticed that when
Schillar drank more than usual the
literary results we're deplorable. The
faults with which Schiller had been
reproached by his critics. Goethe de-
clared were due to no other cause
than this. The mixture of alcohol
and absinthe in which De Musset
placed his hopes ruined his brain and
he ceased to write. The genius of
De Quincy was destroyed by opium.

last year. The Northwestern millers
are already buying wheat from the
Southwest for July delivery
Buying Orders Pour In.
As a result of the dry weather
scare In the Southwest buying orders
for wheat poured in from that sec
ton last week In sufficient volume
to give a great deal of color to the
reports OF crop damage that were
coming In. The Oklahoma state re-
port, showing a deterioration OF four
points In the wheat condition during
April, served further to strengthen
the general belief that considerable
wheat in the Southwest was in a
critical condition. Dry weather and
high winds have prevailed on the
western border OF the hard wheat
country in Nebraska. Kansas and
Oklahoma for some time. That sec
ton can stapd great deal of dry
weather, and Il is probable that pres
ent fears are somewhat exaggerated.
The action of the market, however,
shows that trained Spectators. in
Guiding those well equipped to with
stand ordinary market exigencies
are not willing to stand out and risk
the possibilities of the short side
pending the appearance of rainfall in
the Southwest.

expected and the market is fast he
coming attractive to the high rollers

is not as staid and conservative as
wheat usually is.

The Sioux City Trib,,n

The Sioux City Tribune is wor-
rying because the new tariff sched-
ule as now prepared places a duty
of Is per cent on ladies cheap
stockings. 1t says: "To make
them pay 6 cents of tax on stock
ings worth 8 cents seems to be pill
ing it on heavy" The inference is
that the duty is an extra tax on
the consumer to the full amount.
Yet would the Tribune contend
that if there were no duty on these
stockings they could be purchased
at 2 cents per pair? Anyway the
Tribune should not waste It's sym
pathy, for we haven't yet heard
any of the ladies complain that
their stockings come too high.

Ex-senator Kittredge appears to
have a joke on the last legislature.
In memorial to congress passed
by the legislature it is declared that
there is now no adequate power
controlling state and interstate bus
mess of express companies, and
urges congress to place the express
companies under the control of the
interstate commerce commission.
When the railway rate act, passed
by congress in 1906, was being
considered Sen. Kittredge offered
an amendment which was adopted
and is now a part of the law, which
reads: "The term common carrier
as used in this act shall include ex-
press com panies and sleeping car
companies" In the matter of 're-
forms' the senator was about three
years in advance of the Legislature,
that is all.
