The young daughter of a popular
Chicago clergyman some time ago
manifested a quick wit Her father
had gone on a brief holiday with a
business parishioner and associate. and
the talk Of the children turned on the
problem of which father needed the
rare rest most sorely

hardest" said little Miss Business,
land his work keeps him stirred up
and anxious most Of the time"
Your father may work the hardest
in one way" was little Miss Clergy
mans answer, at once thoughtful and
diplomatic, but think he gets more
rest as he goes along. You see. he can
let down a little evenings and Sun
days. and II he gets cross and nervous

has to be better than ever Sundays
and evenings. because then everybody's
taking notice and the whole lot of US
children are around."--Chicago Rec

cage about February 18th OF 1907. and
turned up in Durham about March
18th Of the next month. It was spoiled
and the Carolina Roller Mills de-
clined to accept it. Testimony brought
out the fact that the corn was mis-
routed at and went to Nor

\ further fact was that the brokers
had b~argained to supply the local
mills With ten cars, which at that
time was suspicious for the mill. The
price OF grain took an upward shoot
and the difference between the buy
ing price then and what the Carolina
shortly afterwards had TO pay was
10 cents on the bushel, according 20

that they lost $1,000 in the deal.
