YOUR 100 PER CENT.
By EDWIN A. NYE.

II was beautiful morning.
The sky was azure blue. the bird
chorus sang a symphony, the breezes
gently blew. and the glorious morning
sun was kissing all the regnant earth
into radiant beauty.
Before you was 100 per cent of hap
piness.
In dressing you dropped your collar
button and got on your knees TO recov-
er it under the bed. The collar was a
misht. and the tie refused to be easily
adjusted You allowed these trivial
things to give you a crouch.
Deduct 10 per cent.
AT breakfast the cruel was thin. the
eggs tasted ef storage. the milxman
was late. and you growled Hastily
gulping your coffee. you started down
town. incidentally forgetting either to
say goodby or kiss your wife.
Deduct another 10 per cent
Being late, you could not walk and
enjoy the morning. The cars were
full you had to stand and hold a strap.
and because Of the congested traffic
the car got you into the shop or store
or Office a few minutes late. The man
ager looked at you and then signifi
cantly at the clock.
Deduct 10 per cent again.
Here was the day scarce begun and
80 per cent of your possible enjoy
ment gone. Well. 20 per cent is left
you. and you resolved TO redeem the
day. But you had started on the
wrong foot. and with sinister persist
ence you kept on getting in bad. By
lunch time it was necessary to-
Deduct 20 per cent!
And the lunch on top Of your 80 per
cent crouch piled Ossa on Pelion. The
afternoon was but little better than
the forenoon. so that when you start
ed for home at least rs per cent OF fe-
licity had disappeared.
Well. there were a good supper ahead
and the evening at home But
You started inSwrong and got your
wife in wrong. and most Of her 100
per cent was gone. supper was late.
The wife was. not sympathetic. She
was near being cross. Only 10 per
cent left.
A little looking over the evening pa
per. a little perfunctory conversation.
and you crawl into bed realizing that
in so far as dividends on happiness
are concerned you are bankrupt.
Too bad But
Tomorrow Blessed tomorrow.
Why tomorrow? Think Of the utter
benefcence. the prodigality of it, To-
morrow. when you face the day. the
great referee has discharged you in
bankruptcy. and you have another 100
per cent to start on,

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 23,-Chicago board
of trade men professed surprise when
they heard the reports that an investi-
CATION into the operations OF the
board Of trade is to be made by the de
partment of justice. The contention
of the dealers is that the board of trade
as an institution in no way affects
prices but simply affords n market
where supply and demand may have
free play in fixing the true, just, natural
price.
"We would be as anxious as any one
to stop the cornenng of the market,
said President A. !. White Of the board.
"Every time such deal rs that in
wheat last year is put through it hurts
legitimate business, but there is no way
to prevent 1t except by action against
the individual under the laws. We
have an open market here and we can
not say just how much a man may or
may not buy Of any commodity
