WHY WOMEN WORRY

From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald
 Women, to their shame be 1t said, worry over little things. This is one req son why there are more cases of insanity among women than among men. Some how, women lose their sense of values. Perhaps puttering around stove ana searching In tiny corners for dust blunts their remembrance of the bigness of the universe Some evening. after hard cay when the clothes wouldn't sprinkle right. and the cake fell. and you tore the ruffle on your newest gown, and you noticed a halI dozen gray hairs In your head and fly that you couldn't catch. no matter how hard you might try. brzzed about your ears till you were frantic-some evening, after some hard day, when all these monumental horrors crowd thick and fast upon you, go out in the street and look up. You will see in the sky those shiny things called stars. Let your mind saunter among them Tor bit, down the spangled Milky Way. into the brilliant Dippsr, across to gilt tering Orion. Ponder for a minute on the glddy vastness of that speck of tho universe which we see on the rolling, rushing universe beyond our vision. on the orderliness of that march of suns and moons and worlds so swift and 90 serene, on the unthinkable distances that sepa rate us from the stars and the stars from each other, on the unutterable ma iesty of the power which holds all this in its grasp.

WHEAT PRICES ARE GIVEN GOOD BOOST
Absence of Selling Pressure Is
 Aid to the Advance
BULLS ARE AGGRESSIVE
Fear of Squeeze in December Corn Serves Shorts Who Bid Prices High cr--0ats Close Higher and
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, December 2i-Bull leaders toos advantage of the absence of selling pres sure in the wheat market today and bid up prices. Corn strength was an aid, and there was also assistance from the dry weather throughout Kansas, Oklahoma and most of Missouri. Closing figures were the same as last night to Ac higher. Corn made net advance of ssc to 7sa1c. Oats rose a shade to Ac, and provisions to 7h@10c decline.
 Wheat started weak on bearish for eign development Liverpool quotations had sagged following free offers of Aus tralian and Argentina cargoes much cheaper than heretofore. In addition there was decided weakness at Buenos Ayres on account of harvest weather and excellent threshing reports. However, no rains has fallen in the winter wheat belt of the United States and was renewed fear of drouth damage. Another source of en- couragement for the bulls lay fin the fact that primary receipts for the week showed quite falling off. particularly in coinpdTlsOIl Witns tfe corresponding time last year, although arrivals southwest were running heavy again. principally at Kansas City Under these circumstances rather aggressive attitude on the part of prominent longs proved sufficient to overcome initial depression and put prices up to about yesterdays high point. May ranged from 96Sc to 961ac and closed firm at 96ssc, net gain of a shade
 Fear of possible squeeze in the De- cember delivery gave corn shorts a great deal of uneasiness and also the options Rumors of rain in the drouth districts of Argentine were ignored Local railroad tracks are so blocked with unloaded cars of corn that the belt line has refused to accept any more of the grain for south Chicago until after Monday Fluctuations in the May option were from 471sc to 4Sss9 4Ihc with last sales at 4SAp4Sssc. a gam of ssc over last night The cash market was firm. No. 2 yellow closed at 471k1 47%c.
 Firmness in oats came from sympathy with other grain. Trade was light and local May sold between 341sc and 34ssc, and finished Ac up at 3414GD342sc.
 Offerings of ribs was much heavier than in the rest of the provision list, which had a basis of firmness in the fact that hog receipts this week were considerably under the total for the previous seven days. Latest figures were Dc to BOG up for pork; 10c to 1219c dearer for lard, and at a decline of 71s@10c to rise of 10a121sc for ribs.

Why We Are Kickers

Jasper in Leslfes.
 We all admit that we have been living too extravagantly. Enticed by the allure ments of the cities, boys have been leav- ing the farms, and when they have learned the ways of the cities and gone back to the farm to visit or to stay. they have taken extravagant ideas with them Everybody likes luxury, and when q beneficent Providence showered it's limit less blessings on the farmer bringing him unexpected and untold wealth, ne was able to satisfy his desire for some of the good things of life which he felt had been denied him too long.
 The emigrant from abroad who came to this country, and who by his thrift and industry speedily found himself in circumstances of comfort of which he had never dreamed, fell into the spirit of the age and began to live like the Amer ican workingman. He had carpets on his floor, curtains on his windows, sewing machine and possibly a piano. He ate the good cuts of beef, drank the best coffee and tea, discarded rye bread for wheaton biscuit and rolls, and reveled in the lap of luxury. It was too good to last, for luxury breeds selflshness; then come distrust, dissatisfaction and dis content. So the American people have become the greatest kickers in the world.
 It only needed the inf1ammatory utter ances of the yellow press and the muck raking magazines to set the people against the bankers, the princes of indus try and the kings of finance in the railway and industrial worlds; and hero we are today suffering the natural con sequences of this spirit of discontent. of envy and selfishness, which demands everything and comedies nothing

From the Chicago Tribune.
 A faithful old umbrella which has shielded the family of Dr. James A. Nrul. lican of Greenwood avenue from the storms of 30 years, was stolen on Sun day. During the rain on that day the physician lent the umbrella to E. A. Seek and while the latter was in store some one stole it..
 "The umbrella belonged to my father and has been in the family for more than 30 years,'' said pr. Mullican last night. Tt has been covered several times.
 ITO persons who are unable to keep the same umbrella for more than 30 days this may seem incredible. but it is true, '' concluded Dr. Mullican with smile.
