in large part and halted for the
greater part of the session while
traders discussed various matters
bearing more or less remotely on the
financial situation.
The street discussing the retirement
of Mr. Frick from the Hartman
board clearly inclined towards the
belief that the gap left by Frick is
not only large but it was probably
impelled by circumstances which
have recently been renewed with in
creased vigor
In the minds Of the speculative

from Union Pacific and allied proper
ties also helped to explain the rec

cession of Hartman issued and other
stocks of the same class, Mr. Tricks
intention to retire being known to
many of his associates for several
weeks.
other matters which had de-
pressing influence included advices
from the west that the Illinois Cen
trail officials following the lead OF
the Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific lines have declined to engage
in further conferences with their
employees over the wage question

TEN HEALTH HINTS.
DR.. Wiley Government Expert, Tolls
How to Keep Well In Summer.

How to Keep Well In Summer.
DR. Harvey W. Wiley, chief Of the
government board Of food and drug IN
spection and head OF the bureau OF
chemistry, has formulated ten rules
for the preservation Of health In hot
weather, For instance. he says
Only eat about two-thirds as much in
summer as I'm winter
Avoid stimulants such as tea, coffee
or alcoholic beverages.
Vegetables should be the chief form
of diet also milk and buttermilk
The public should insist on fresh
food, as there is no excuse for storage
food at this season.
Children under six or seven years of
age must eat little uncooked fruits or
berries
Do not eat unless hungry, and If you
can do without luncheon ii Is not un
wise.
The mortality Of infants would be
lessened If they were given only milk
and only prepared food when mix Is
impossible.
firmly believe IL children under ten
years OF age did not eat at the same
time with adults we would have much
healthier children
Solid foods are very bad for children
under three. MIX is the thing.
Take care that ice cream is made
from fresh fruits only containing nc
coi0ring matter.

WHEAT PRICES WENT UP

the wheat market today took an up
ward turn. Closing prices We're stea-
dy at a net advance of u. Corn up

Improved demand for cash wheat
both here and at the sea board acted
as the main lever that piled futures
up. A novelty in this line was calls
for round lot to 90 into storage in
lake elevators.
Reports Of local and eastern mills
were jostling each other for an adj
vantage and there was constant evil
dence of a heavy inquiry from for
eigners.
Reports were current that Ind
ia was rainless and that the eX-
port surplus in Russia would be even
smaller, as recently predicted.
The greatest strength of the ses>
sion developed just before the close
and was in decided contrast with
early weakness.
Corn advanced following reports
from Texas that second paintings
were burning up under hot winds
and lack of rains.
Oats gathered little strength
from the fact that country offerings
we're not large.

inial prosecution against the of

xRev. benson Owns an Automobile.


The following dispatch from
Lafayette, concerning Rev. j. E.
benson, formerly stationed at
Boyce and Colfax, will be of in
terest to many of our readers:
Lafayette, Dec. IL. The res
ignation of Rev. j. E. benson,
presiding elder Of the Lafayette
district, from membership in the
Louisiana Methodist Conference
caused some surprise and discus
sion here, although it was known
to a few that he contemplated
the action. What led to his de-
cision to sever his relations with
the conference is, of course. a
matter of conjecture, as no COM
plants or charges have been pre-
ferred attacking his administra-
ton or character.
Rev. benson has been MEM
Der of the conference for twenty
three years, and has been presid-
ing elder of this (Lafayette) dis
trict for the past three years.
He was recognized to be a man
of much ability and force in the
pulpit. 1t is said that the pur-
chase of an automobile some time
ago occasioned some criticism of
Rev. benson. but this could
hardly have been the cause of
his leaving the ministry.

It was New Years night. An aged
man was standing by the window. He
mournfully raised his eyes toward the
deep blue sky, where the stars were
floating like white lilies on the sur
face of clear, calm lake. Then he
cast them on the earth, where few
more helpless beings than himself
were moving toward their inevitable
goal-the tomb. Already he had pass
ed sixty of the stages which lead to
it, and he had brought from his jour-
ney nothing but errors and remorse.
His health was destroyed, his mind
unfinished. his heart sorrowful, and
his old age devoid of comfort.
The days of his youth rose up In a
vision before him, and he recalled the
solemn moment when his father had
placed him at the entrance Of two
roads, one leading into a peaceful
sunny land, covered with fertile har
vest, and resounding with soft. sweet
songs; while the other conducted the
wanderer into q deep, dark cave
whence there was no issue, where poi
son flowed instead of water, ant
where serpents Kissed and crawled.
He looked toward the sky. and CRIED
out In his anguish: "Oh. youth. re
turn! o my father. place me once
more at the crossway of life, that
may choose the better rod Ru
the days of his youth had passes

appear. Such" he said, were tn

in darkness athwart the churchyard.
Behold an emblem of myself" he
exclaimed: and the sharp arrows OF
unavailing remorse struck him to the
heart.
Then he remembered his early COM
panions, who had entered life with
him, but who having trod the paths OF
virtue and industry. were now happy
and honored on this New Years
night. The clock in the high church
tower struck. and the sound. falling
on his ear, recalled the many tokens
of the love of his parents for him;
the prayers they had offered up in his
behalf. Overwhelmed with shame
and grief, he dared no longer look to-
ward that heaven where they dwelt.
His darkened eyes dropped tears, and
with one despairing effort he cried
aloud, "Come back, my early days!
Come back"
And his youth did return; for all
this had been but a dream, visiting
his slumbers on New Years night.
He was still young, his errors only
were no dream. He thanked God fer
vently that time was still his own;
that he had nct yet entered the deep.

the road leading to- the peaceful land
