sons who had been thrifty were en-
titled TO share In It.
Had Jacobs been thrifty? Indeed
he had he had $1,000 In the savings
bank Was he willing to draw II out
and show II to his bencfactors as
earnest proof OF his thrift? He was
more than willing; he was eager 10
do so.
so he drew out the $4,000 and his
friends placed II carefully in box,
. together with tho whole $4,000
which his rheumatic friend had won
In the lottery, and Jacobs was placed
In custody of the box But there
was mixup somewhere, for when
the old man finally grew suspicious
/. and went To a police station last night
In his box was found a yarieo assurt-
ment of paper. but no money.

WOOL BEING

Extreme Dizziness in the
Trade Causes Unusual
Conditions

Boston. July S.-As a result OF the
steady decline In prices for wool in
the American wool market. Boston
wool deliyerers have not only stopped
large quantitis of wool In traensit
from Australia and sold them In Lon
don. bat more recently this city has
assumed the unusual position OF ac-
ually being a wool exporter 1t is
estimated that about 100000 pounds
OF foreign woods held in bond here
have recently been reshlpped TO Lon
don TO be sold at auction.
For the entire six months OF this
year, Boston has exported 3,5550.000
pounds OF wool. as against the nomi-
nal amount of 10000 pounds for the
same period last yer.
These figures. however. represent
very inadequately the wool which has
been taken out OF the Boston market
owing 20 the depression in the Amer
ican textile industry.
