CUPID AND CAMPASPE.

Cupid and my Campaspe played
At cards for kisses-Cupid paid;
He stakes his CULVER, bow and arrows
His mothers doves, and team of spar
rows
Loses them too; then down he throws
The coral of his lip, the rose
Growing on his cheek (but none
knows howl;
With these the crystal of his brow,
And then the dimple of his chin
All these did my Campaspe win.
At last he set her both his eyes;
She won, and Cupid blind did rise.
o Love! has she done this to thee?
What shall, alas! become Of me?

A BARBER FROM THE WEST.
He Finds the New York Shops Good
 But Not Worked to Capacity.

Why. say." said a visiting barber from the wide untrammelled west. you folks here are narrow. limited. shackled, contracted, far behind the age. You think you are the human limit, when really your gait is very slow.
 4 went into one of your shops here yesterday Nice shop. good equipment. everything fine and elegant: but when I saw how slow you were here on the work it made me nervous. A good plant. but not worked to capacity. :.
 They had a man in chair with a barber cutting his hair and a mani cure fixing his hands and a bootblack blacking his shoes all at the same time. and I suppose you think here that that's going some, to have three people work on & customer all at once: but goodness me! YOU ought to look into my shop and see how we do things in my part of the country.
 I've got a shop that's every bit as modern and up to date to the last limit as anything you've got in New York; but out there we use our plant. What do you suppose we do when a man comes in that's in hurry to catch train? Think we all lie down and take a nap?
 Why. we put one barber to cutting his hair. and another to shaving him and two manicurers tackle his hands. one on each side; we take of his shoes and two boys work on them. each backing a single shoe. while two chiropodists get at him. each taking a foot; and at the same time we have one boy brushing the customers hat. and another brushing his overcOat. while another dusts the clothes he's got on with a vacuum duster.
 You put three people on a man at once and think you're doing something: We put on eleven and think nothing about it at all: and our town ain't a quarter as big as New York, not a quarter.
 Why, honest. this New York at- mosphere makes me sleepy."-New York Sun.

PROGRESS OF FAIRGROUNDS.

Nearly 300 cities have no estab- lished playgrounds for children. &C., cording to a leaflet issued by the Playground Association of America. Previous to 1908 only ninety cities had playgrounds In 201 cities there are now l.O24 piaygrounds. For these places of exercise and amusement for the young. Chicago has expended $ll.000,000 in the past ten years and New York city about $1S.000.000.
 In 1908 Massachusetts enacted a law providing that the cities of .the state with population of 10000 or more should vote whether or not to establish playgrounds. All but two cities voted to have playgrounds sup ported by public taxes. One-tenth of the city of Boston is devoted to parks. playgrounds and bathing beaches.
 The. value of play in the develop ment of the young is being more and more appreciated. The child needs playground because his growth is through activity.-Christian Science Monitor.

THE PARThENoN.

The destruction of this famous build ing took place in 16S7. during the siege of Athens by the Venetians. The Turks held the city, and the Parthe- non was used for a powder magazine. One day during the conflict Vene< tian bombshell dropped into the build- ing. and the explosion which followed badly shattered the structure. From that date the renowned building has stood roofless and exposed to all the inclemencies of the weather. For more than 1000 years the temple stood en- tire. and in its-ruins is the architec- tural wonder of the world.

NOVEMBER BREAKS
TWO RECORDS
The Past Month Was the Warmest
and Wettest Since the Weather
Bureau Was Established.

The wettest, warmest November in
the history of Keokuk since the es-
Enlistment of the weather bureau
here in 1871.
This is the record OF the month
which slipped out of existence last
night at midnight, November of 1909
being one which may be looked back
to by the old settlers of fifty years
ahead, as record breaker.
According to the figures Of Observ-
er Gosewisch, the mean temperature
for the month was SO degrees, which
is the warmest in his books. The
rainfall for the month was 3.97 inches,
which is also the record.
The nearest year to this in the
way Of heat was the November Of 1898
which came to 40. In 1902 the aver
age was 4S but besides these two
there we're none warmer than As. The
coolest month was in 1880 at 81.
The mean temperature for 80 years
is 1913, showing this year to be away
ahead of the average.
TIL warmest day last month was
the fifth, at 10, which is the top notch
ever reached in November. The
coolest November day this year was
the eighteenth, at IL degrees. There
have been Novenbr days at below
since the records were kept.

Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 1.--Wheat--
Liverpool closed lad lower to 1sd
higher. Receipts here today 10 cars
against 80 a year ago. Shorts and
hedgers have taken advantage of the
recent break to cover freely the
hedgers preferring to keep their cash
wheat and replace the hedges in May.
There are still bullish possibilities in
the December delivery as a result of
the strong cash situation. We be-
lieve the time is about ripe to take
the short side of May wheat on the
hard spots as foreign conditions,
which are decidedly bearish, will
shortly begin to manifest themselves
and the important period of exports
from the United States has about
passed. Increasing visible supplies
along with liberal offerings from
Argentina, Russia and the Danube,
are likely to encourage a good deal
of selling which will be burdensome
to the May delivery.
Corn-Liverpool closed unchanged.
Receipts here today 226 car year
ago IDl. i lie HdIUPQ crowd succeed
ed in forcing lower prices again to-
day and Armour was also a seller OF
May, but there was quite little
wanted around Gle Higher tempera-
lures and unsettled weather are
shown over the corn belt In the west
and southwest. So far no heavy liq-
uidation has been forced. AS result
of recent bear activities 125,0O
bushels corn came on delivery this
morning. We still feel that the sit
uation seems to be principally a test
OF strength between the longs and
the big shorts.
Oats-Receipts here today 81 cars,
year ago los. There was about 400
600 bushels oats delivered this morn
ing, which went into the hands of
scattered longs. With light receipts
and several cents premium over De-
cember for current arrivals, the oat
situation appears to be fairly a
strong one. We are still friendly to
oats and look for higher prices. We
believe 1t decidedly unwIse to remain
short the December delivery.
