a Pensioned Horse.

A faithful government servant has
been recognized and rewarded by
Ormsby McHarg, Assistant Secretary.
of Commerce and Labor. This ser.
want is an old horse named Caleb.
which for tWenty-four years has de.
voted his energies to pulling wagon
belonging to the United States Fish
Commission at Green Bay, Me. Las.
week, after a serious attack of boils,
he showed his inability to serve the
Government any further by lying in
his stall and refusing to be harnesed.
The officers at Green Bay, knowing
that the animals days of usefulness
were over, reported the fact to the
Department OF Commerce and Labor
and asked for a new horse, also ex-.
pressing the intention of killing
Caleb. This report fell under the
eyes of Secretary McHarg, and he
issued an order that the
faithful animal be placed in the pas
ture until he died natural death.
This is one of the few cases on record
in which a horse had been placed on
the Governments pension rolls.-Ch!-

low 6Ursansrepart ondi ton of the
crop on June %. TWelyeaeents was
passed. and for while it looked as
if there was practically no limit to
the buying power of the bull side.
The report said condition was 74.6,
which was the lowest for the same
date, with one exception, for a long
period of years, and showed loss
in condition of 65 points from the
the figures given out by the same
source month ago. Experts calcu-
lated the crop promise, based on the
condition given, was around 12,000,-
600 bales, which is far below what
the trade feels will be needed to
supply the demands of the spinners,
at anything like the present prices.
The report came at II o'clock,
and at the time fall options were
selling around 11.00c in New York
and New Orleans. There had been
very little activity all the morning,
but suspicious sort of steadiness
prevailed, for the report was expect
ed at least as low as II, with some
looking for it to be lower. When
it came so much lower, the market
grew wild, and within few minutes
12c has been reached, rise of about
40 point, at 50 per bale. A lot of prof
its were accepted by people who had
contracts, but this supply soon be-
came exhausted, and the reaction
therefrom was only about 10 points.
Bulls then took hold again, and in
New York October later sold again,
and in New York October later sold
up to 12.14c, while December sold
at 12.1Sc. The advance from the
opening to those levels was about SO |

INTERNAL TNADE IN MAY
Silver Lining to the Cloud Seen by
Government Statisticians.

Government Statisticians.
Washington-The silver lining of
the clouds of business depression that
darkened the industrial sky is about
all that the government statisticians
say during the month of May. The
statisticians' review of the interna-
tional commerce of the United States
during that month, as shown by a
bulletin of the Department of Com
merce and Labor, has an optimistic
tone.
While the volume of live stock and
grain movements was below that for
May Of the sIk.eceding two years, and
there appeared also slight check in
the upward trend of the coal and
lumber traffic, the transportation,
manufacturing and building activi-
ties are reported as improved.
The coke output and shipments
showed continuous improvement
in answer to the larger demand of
the iron furnaces. Increased takings
of cotton and wool were interpreted
as indicating greater activity in the
textile industry, while larger ship
ments of boots and shoes from the
chief distributing centers served the
statisticians as index of more regular
industrial employment
The building activity in the larger
cities of the country was reported as
heavy.

inquiries from several Of the asses

from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee if one val

coffee all his life until it had affected

him to shift to Postum. 1t was easy
to get him to make the change, for
the Postum Is so delicious. 1t GER

eve soon learned that Postum
does not exhilarate or depress and
does not stimulate, but steadily and
honestly strengthens the nerves and
the stomach.
"To make long story short, our

crop in the amount planted, and the
yield will also be short. Corn in this
section is better than it has been for
years.
