TAFT IN FANCY WAISTCOAT.

Tim WOOdruff's Creations Pale Be-
side the Presidents.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says:
For the first recorded time in his
life the president has donned a fancy
vest, as he calls it, or waistcoat, as
it is sometimes called. 1t is as re-
splendent as one Of Tim Woodruff s,
and the president insists that it is
much more entitled to attention.
Mr. Taft opened his coat out
with much pride displaying the waist
coat and asking if it didn't make
any of Tim Woodruff's look like
plain goods on the marked-down
counter
He pointed out that even if the
spectacular features of the vest were
not apparent he still had it on Mr..
Woodruff, as Tim could display only
a yard and a half, while the presi-
dent could put three yards in view
by placing his hands in his trousers
pockets

jim Patterns WHEAT SWAG
CHICAGO SPECULATOR AND HIS
FRIENDS MAKE ABOUT
$4,OOO,OOO.

James A. Patten, monarch of the
wheat pit, wound up his campaign
in the May option a few days ago
with a profit to himself and his i'm
mediate associates of between $3,-
100000 and $4,OO0,0O0. He has, in
addition, slightly over 100000
bushels of grain in his elevators.
Mr.. Patten is the first man to en-
gineer a really successful campaign
in wheat in Chicago. In 1888 B. P.
Hutchinson known the country ovec
as "Old Hutch" was successful in
cornering the September option to
the extent of putting the price up to
50 bushel and getting out without
"going broke" But the corpse" of
"Old Hutch's' corner ate up his
profits and he came out only a little
winner. In fact, he was so close
to being even on the deal that he
always said he lost money, and there
was none to successfully dispute his
claim.
Possibly the biggest loser in an at
tempt to corner wheat was w. H.
Harper, who dropped approximately
$40, 100000 in July wheat in 1887.
There always was suspicion in the
minds of welI-infOrmed traders that
Harper had been used by the Stand
ard Oil crowd, which was generally
credited with having taken profits
on the deal at the record price and
then left Harper holding the bag. :"
Joe Letter is the next heaviest
loser in the history of the Chicago
wheat pit. He tried to corner the
May and July options in 1898 and
succeeded in setting a price of $1.S5
bushel. When the crash came in
June Mr.. Letter gave an imitation of
juggler who had put too many
balls in the air at once. Everything
came tumbling down about his head
and he escaped with loss of ST.
100000, when the price broke to IS
cents in June.
In 1905 John w. Gates tried to
corner wheat in the Chicago pit. He
ran the price of the May delivery up
to 1924, but it broke to Sc Il cents
in April, costing the barbed wire
magnate about $1,500,0O0.
The Patten deal has been followed
so closely from its inception that its
history is known to every reader
from Maine to California. 1t had
it's start in September of last year,
when Patten formed a pool with his
intimate partners to buy 20,000,000
bushels and hold on for higher
prices. The active buying began in
October, when the price for May
wheat was $1.03% The pool ac-
quired the desired line of 20,000,000
bushels without advancing the price
a great deal, and it is significant
fact in justification of Patterns fore
cast of the market that wheat has
never sold lower during the cam
paign than it was at the opening.
The cash wheat that Patten and
his associates have in elevators was
bought at an average price of $1.05.
1t will all be sold, apparently, at
profit of 20 cents or more a bushel.
This will mean that the 100000
bushels will net a profit of 100000.
The remaining 100000 of the
20,000,000 bushels with which the
campaign started has already been
sold at a profit of 20 cents-a to-
tai of $3,200,000.

The VERSATILITY OF CORN
GASTRONOMIC VALUE OF THE
GREAT AMERICAN CEREAL
is REMARKABLE.

We have read with NO little inter
est and certainly with entire approval
the discussion recently going on be-
tween The New York Tribune, The
Macon Telegraph. The Montgomery
Advertiser and other contemporaries
anent the wholesomeness of johnny
cake, so called. AS to whether this
delicious table dainty is better when
concocted of white meal tnan when
fashioned of yellow we do not care
to express any opinion at all hide
bound or dogmatic. We incline, we
think, to the white, but we admit the
possible goodness of the yellow, new
ertheleSs. Perhaps that is a matter
largely determined by environment,
it seemingly being true that the peo-
pie of the southern states prefer the
white meal, whereas the people of
the colder CHIMES to the north prefer
the yellow, the fine food value of
.jOhnnycake being nowhere disputed,
however.
If the great American citizen
would take time to consider the re-
markable possibilities of corn-that
genuine American productive
imagine he would give himself scant
concern about the ups and downs of

tOnishing how many different and
truly nourishing dishes may be pre-
pared for the table, it never once
being necessary to go outside of
