Futures opened steady at decline OF I@3
points on somewhat lower cables than ca
pected. The market was nervous in the
early trading. October was sold more :ree-
Is than any other month in the list. owing
TO favorable weather map. Dry weather
was reported in the Western cotton belt and
wet weather in tho Eastern. Selling OF tho
new crops was checked by the posting OF
the weather forecast, which predicted I'M
settled conditions for Texas. The trade
took this 10 mean rain, which is not wanted
in Texas now, because the soil is Wet enough
and planting has not been completed. The
rise in the price of silver quoted by Lon
don helped the old crops somewhat. be-
cause 1t was conceded that any increase
in silver would help trade between the
cotton goods markets and the far East. Tho
ring was duh in the afternoon session.
Price changes were narrow. The close was

why Men Wait on Women.

lrreverent persons suggest that
mans only object in life is to please
woman and to serve her, says Harpers
Weekly. Slightly exaggerated, this
statement, perhaps; yet there must be
some truth at the bottom of it. 9th
erwise, why should man wait on wom-
an at all? Why take pleasure in be-
ing agreeable to her? Why go out of
his way to assist her? In other words,
why should he be chivalrous?
Chivalry is the expression of mans
real, instructive Difference for woman.
Although, like other instructive feel
ings, it is being modified or rooted up
by education and civilization, the chiv-
alrous instinct nevertheless still makes
itself felt in modern man. 1t impels
him, when confronted with woman, to
pass through three different stages.
In the first one he strives to attract
woman's attention; in the second, to
please her; finally, to serve her.
The unconcerned are highly diverted
W 'hO III OF. lHeIe 10 uO Gnu W Ile
things man will do to attract wom-
ans attention. Nothing is too absurd.
One man found it necessary to spoil
his patent leather shoes. He was be-
ing rowed across lake when a girl
passed by in her canoe. Without a
moments hesitation he plunged both
feet into the ripping water, letting
them dangle there stupidity.
Other men use other methods; some
grow spry and climb fences, stumble
over their own feet; some imagine
themselves the proud possessors of a
voice and exercise it; others whistle
out a tune or twirl their mustaches.
Still others grow disconnected and for
get where they are going, or lose the
thread of their conversation.
So much for the desire of being no.
ticed. When 1t comes to pleasing wom-
en- men are more particular. They
then strive for personal perfection.
The intellectual ones go about with
poetry in their breast pockets and
learn 1t by heart, ready to repeat it
at the first occasion. Or they dabble
into art or literature or some "ism"
in order to acquire the correct pose.
The more matter of fact puzzle over
material things; whether their hair is
parted in the right place; whether the
red or blue tie will make the better
impression. For men are vain and
dress to please.

Woman and Science.

What was the beginning of science?
Take medical science, for instance
Here the first in science may have
been women. Man, crippled and
wounded in the chase and hunt for
food, crawled home to his hut, and
there the wife gathered together
neighboring women and kinswomen to
consider and decide what was best TO
save and cure the injured. And so be-
gan what might be called experimental
medicine. After thousands of cases
some course of treatment would be
selected as most successful, and this
would be handed down from mother
to daughter for ages, meaning the
saving of the weak--a form of arti-
ficial selection--the beginning of civ
ilization, for without these arti.
cialities there would be only one thing
-nature-to shape all men just So,
so that all people would look one Just
like the other, even as do savages. for
iu life true to nature people unless
they were shaped just so, could not
survive, because they could not fit ma

Anything which throws light on the
causes of the enhanced cost of living
or gives the consumer an accurate idea
of the distribution between producers
and middlemen of the money he pays
for foodstuffs is read. with interest.
The information may not enable the
consumer to better himself, but it will
at least teach him who, if anybody, is
to be blamed for a state of affairs
which is daily distress. At present
he makes wild guesses, which may be
quite out of the. way. The other day
the secretary of agriculture gave out
scrap of information to the effect
that on the average the city retailer
of meats made a gross profit of 3S
per cent on each pound of meat he
sold. The secretary proposes now to
enlarge the field of inquiry and dis
cover who is responsible for the high
prices consumers have to pay for eggs,
potatoes, flour, vegetables, butter and
other dairy products. AS might be ex-
pected of the champion of the agricul-
tural interests of the country, the Sec
retary feels certain that the farmer is
not getting his full share of the ad-
vance in prices. And yet he seems to
be getting pretty good share. The
increase in the valuation of farm lands
indicates as much. They sell for more
because the crops raised on them bring
more. To settle the question one should
know how much of the money which
a city consumer pays for a bushel of
potatoes, for instance, goes to the
grower, the railroad, the commission
merchant and the city retailer. Then
1t would be possible to know whether
any of the middlemen were charging
too much for their indispensable serv-
ices. If 1t were to appear that the
railroad charges were excessive they
could be regulated by law, but no legis-
lature can dictate to wholesaler or re-
taller the price he should ask though
the latter can be forced to give the
honest measure he does not always
give now. 1t will take some time to
collect the information the secretary
of agriculture wants, but it would be
so interesting and probably useful that
he should not delay in sending out his
agents to gather 1t in.

than confidence many Of the anecuo,os
OF contemporary monarchs. Two late
ly published about the Tsar are en-
tightening, if true. 1t is said that he
has been testing the equipment of the
private soldiers. On one day he
walked about the grounds of his pal
ace for two hours, wearing the accou-
terment of an infantry soldier on the
march. On another occasion the Tsar
came upon one of the sentries who
had been suddenly attacked by hem
orrhage. He told the soldier to report
himself to a doctor at once, but the
man demured on the ground that he
could not leave his post till relieved.
The Tsar told him that he had sworn
to obey his Emperor, and that the EN-
peror had the right under the code
to relieve sentry. The soldier there
upon turned over his rife, and sought
medical assistance for himself The
Tsar kept guard until a new sentry
arrived.

TREED BY A WOUNDED BUFFALO

Walter Hill, youngest son of James
]. Hill, and Rudolph ]. Schiffmann, both
of st. Paul, were marooned in the
branches of tree on the railroad
magnate's North Oaks farm a few
miles out of st. Paul until a late hour
by wounded buffalo bull The pair
with two others left the city at 10
o'clock to kill four of the herd of
twenty animals, the keeping of so
many being no longer practicable. Hill
shot at the first one, but the bullets
he poured into the beast had no effect
and he barely escaped the bulls horns
and found refuge in a tree already
occupied by Schiffmann. The pair were
rescued by neighboring farmers on
snowshoes. They then continued the
hunt and killed three more animals.
