THE DISAPPOINTED LOVER.

By Algernon Charles Swinburne I will go back to the great sweet mother Mother and lover of men, the sea- I will go down to her, and none other, Close with her, kiss her, and mix her
 with me; Cling to her, strive with her. hold her
 fast. fair white mother, in days long past Born without sister, born without brother, Set free my soul as thy soul is free. o fair green-g gird1ed mother of mine. Sea, that are clothed with the sun and
 the rain, Thy sweet hard kisses are strong ike
 wine,
 Thy large embraces are keen like pain. Save me and hide me with all thy waves, Find me one grave of thy thousand
 graves Those pure cold popuious graves or Wrought without hand in world with
 out stain. I shall sleep. and move with the moving
 ships,
 Change as the winds change, veer in the
 tide; My lips will feast on the foam of thy
 lips. I shall rise with thy rising, with thee subside; Sleep and not know if she be, if she were
 Filled full with life to the eyes and hair, As rose is full filled to the rose-leaf tips With splendid summer and perfume and
 pride. This woven raiment of nights and days, Were it once cast off and unwound from
 me, Naked and glad would I walk in thy
 ways,
 Alive and aware of thy waves and thee; Clear of the whole world, hidden at home. Clothed with the green, and crowned with the foam, N A pulse of the life of thy straits and t. bays, A vein in the heart of the streams of tho
 sea.

Not Enough Wheat to Go Round

l No individual, no firm, no clique, no set of men, can regulate the price of
 wheat, simply because the worlds crop is very large, exceeding 3,00O00O,- 900 bushels. We do not feed the world. Our wheat product is about 650,000009 bushels, or about one-ffth of the worlds product.
 Wheat is high because the world $ crop is steadily falling below the worlds demand for it. The London Economist presents a table showing the wheat crops of all countries in the last three years, as follows:
 l9O6... ........, 42S, 4s0 Voo 1907... %. ... ... ... -. ..... .3S9,S150O9 19OS.... ...... SSS, 4ooUVo
 These figures are in quarters, quar- ter being eight bushels. A shrinkage of 2SO,OOO,O0O bushels in an increasing population has led to higher prices, duu tue price Ol WnedI III 'iiO inSiioi market has been advanced to s1.16 bushel. a rise of 20 cents. A year ago the price in Liverpool was 30 cents lower than it is today.
 The great cereal is grown in Argen- tina, Russia. India, Canada and Aus tralia as an export or surplus crop as well as in the United States. It is grown in all European countries for home consumption. No manipulator in Chicago can affect the European markets. MT. Patten's largest pur- chases go unheeded in the British mar ket because we do not grow but fifth of the worlds crop.
 The consumption of wheat Is outrun- ming production. More people live on rice than on wheat products, but enough eat bread to exhaust the re- serves and put up prices. MT. Patten read the situation quicker and more clearly than his brokers did. He perhaps outran his knowledge at times, but he did not and could not change the worlds valuation of spot wheat.

Car Door Equipment.

R. G. Bullard, president of the Bull lard Car Door Equipment company. ac- companied by J. D. Haggon, general sales agent, has just returned from Chattanooga, where they have closed contracts with the Ross-Mehan Foun- dry company for a large quantity of fixtures to be applied on various roads. It is stated that the Bullard Car Door Equipment company is receiving various flattering propositions from various cities looking to the location of a S50.000 plant, which will be erected for the manufacturing of the equipment in the near future.

Home-Made Motor Boat,

"A homemade gasoline boat, every part of which was made by the boy himself, Is the novel plaything which the 15-year-old son of Dick" Wybold, who lives few miles from Mobile on the Alabama river, has to amuse himself with,' said Charles Lehart, who Is connected with Evans & Hart. "The boat is rather neatly con- structed and built for speed. The ma chinery is fashioned out of what appears to be all of the scrap metal on his fathers farm, and is indeed a strange looking outfit. It does the work, however, sending the boat through the water at clipping rate. An invitation to take trip in it was refused by me, how eYer.n

SECOND FIDDLE.
From Puck.

FrOTn PUCK.
 The second fiddle is on the whole the most widely played of all instruments fortunately, since 1t is so especially the instrument of harmony
 A great many men have an aptitude for the second fiddle, and where they take It up at once, without too much vain ex- perimenting iwth more pretentious parts. they find much satisfaction in it. There is plenty of poor work done with the sec- ond fiddle, though. Men who are forced to it, by marrying or other mischance, are very likely to play badly.
 A master of the second fiddle Is not least among the masters. and he has, be- sides. the promise of inheriting the earth.

FORCE OF HABIT.
From the Bohemian Magazine.

From the Bonem1an Magazine.
 A certain western congressman's bound- less affability and habitual absentmind- edness have occasionally led him into awkward mistakes. One day during his last campaign as he stepped from the train at the station of his home town after a month of stumpng and glad handing" his little daughter rushed up to him and kissed him. The congress- man beamed upon her with a proud and tender parental eye.

 PERFECTLY SAFE.

 Wooing where the breakers roar Soon will be the fashion; On a sandy, moonlit shore Breathing vows of passion. Whispering in willing ear To be true forever; Hearts so well attuned, 'tis clear, Nothing can dissever.

SUCCESS. There was a man in our town And he was wondrous wise; He didn't frown upon the press And scorn to advertise, But kept his name in letters large Before the public gaze And patronized the morning sheet For days and days and days. Result is that he's wealthy now And has so many clerks And managers and other help, He hardly ever works, But goes abroad and takes his ease And has six auto cars, And drinks the very finest drinks And smokes the best cigars. And what is more, Dame Rumor says The truth she ought to know To be elected alderman He stands a dandy show!

LIFE's ROUND.

 Over and over and over, We rise and we toll and we sleep And days come by when we fain would
 sigh
 And days when we fain would weep. And little there is to win, we say, When the world is rolling wrong And grief ever more Is trying the door Of the heart that is used to song. Over and over and over, We rise and we toll and we sleep And we win to the crown of a world s renown,
 Or we walk where the failures keep. But the tears we've shed and the drops
 we've bled Are forgot when the journeys done And the soul takes ship for the final
 trip
 To the land of the setting sun.
