The simple fact is that good healthy

Her Pleasant
Evening

'You won't be lonesome" said Mrs.
Rammerslee as she babe her husband
good-by, "for your Aunt Sally is COM
ing into town for a days shopping,
and will pass the night at our house.
/ wrote her that we'd take her to the
theater tonight and then when mother
sent for me to go up to the country
so suddenly it all went out OF my
mind. But you must take her, Ches-
ter"
"All right, May" answered Ram
merslee good naturally. He was fond
of his Aunt Sally, who was just his
own age and did not look day older
than his pretty young wife.
She was unusually blooming that
night when she arrived and Hammers
lee said to himself that he had never
realized what a handsome girl she
was.
That's stunning hat" he told her.
I'm glad you like it. returned
Sally. Il bought it to-day, for
wanted to do you credit"
There was an impressive rustic of
silk when Sally appeared in the hall
after dinner in a delicate opera wrap.
He helped her into the taxicab in the
gay humor a man is apt to feel when
he has a congenial, pretty and we'll
dressed woman by his side.

Color Tone Of Washington.

The color tone of the city Of Wash
ington Is green-a bright new green
In June and gradually darkening as the
leaves OF the trees mature. There are
nearly half a million ornamental trees
and numerous extensive parks in the
Capital city, which accounts FOR its
color tone. From above the eye looks
down on vast sea of green, along the
southern extremity of which winds a
silvery band, the Potomac. To the
east a white island dots the waving
mass of green, and a little beyond an
island Of glistening gold shimmers in
the sunlight. The first is the cap
itol, the second the library of CON
gress. A brilliant white dot in The
west, surrounded by specks Of yellow
and red, marks the White House and
the cluster OF gardens around it.

Daily Grain Letter.

/ CHICAGO, Aug. 2o.-Wheat-The
influence of supposedly bullish foreign
situation is not sufficient to overcome
bearish domestic conditions. Foreign
news is also little more bearish.
European markets are easing off. Rus
sian and Danubian offerings are heavy
and shipments will be larger than a
week ago. The worlds shipments
without any very heavy contribution
from America will be large. Appar-
emily foreigners loaded UP in a spec
ulative way on the crop scare and
are now liquidating. Commission
houses are heavily long September
and the sales are mostly made
for elevator interests who will deliv-
err the goods. We look for further Ii
.quidation and lower prices. Traders
are more Influenced by the big re-
ceipts and large stocks than anything
else. There is little or no outside
speculative demand.
Corn-Liquidation which started
yesterday bids fair to continue as long
as wheat and oats are weak. Re
ceipts are expected to increase as a
result of fine outlook for corn in those
sections directly tributary to Chicago.
We anticipate continued liquidation
of September contracts and more or
less of the same sort of selling in
May and December We feel moder-
ately friendly to the new crop futures
but can hope for no bull movement
with everything else working lower.
Oats-The same influences which
have controlled the market for several
weeks are still operating. The move
ment Is heavy, stocks are accumulat-
ing rapidly and the only demand for
the cash article comes from elevator
interests who are filling storage space
and placing a further burden on the
pit A considerable short interest
has been established which may result
in some rally.
Provisions Packers and shorts
were moderate buyers. Stocks are
small and controlled by packers, who
also control pit prices. Product is
about a normal basis. We believe
that January product. even at its dis
count, is a sale on the hard spots.
Sample Wheat premiums

The plates were set for the seven, a
custom never abandoned even though
they remained empty throughout the
Thanksgiving meal. The two did not
hear the outside noises. nor the rattle
of the numbering stage, nor the lifting
Of the latch. When they raised their
eyes the room was full of bearded and
bronzed and pale and clean shaven
faces-faces which in spite of wind
and weather and toll and sweat had a
strange family resemblance. 1t was
unusual that they should be there, bu;
it did not seem strange, so confident
was the mother heart that her prayer
would be answered.
Mother, | was worried. Your let
tiers were so different, and came

1t was the eldest who spoke and EN-

Even then the mother hunger was
predominant and could not abide the
Christening of her offsprings. The frail
hand waved aside the speaker, but he
added softly:

Then, with a twinkle in his eyes:

added to the cares of the father. She
longed intensely to know Of her grand

was aching for minute details of the

But the rush Of life in the cities
made the farm seem long way off.
Letter writing was oftentimes irk-

that absorbed their time and strength
The letters grew fewer and their
length shorter. On the old homestead
the aged couple laboriously read over
and over again the brief epistles, pom

In due time the seven sons forgot
