Rise and Fall.

A boy was driving donkey and
cart which belonged to his widowed
mother when he was accosted by a
snobbish young man who. wishing to
impress his clevcrness upon a young
lady who accompanied him. said:
Watch me take a rise out Of this
boy
He shouted to the boy. II say. do
you think your mother would sell me
that donkeyg"
The boy took a good look at him
aud answered. "Do you think your
mother could keep you two?"
Il was pleasing to see that the
young lady smiled.

Governor Wilson 10 Lawyers.

A great quality about Governor
Woodrow Wilson Is that he says his
say to,a mans face--to any ni.aber
of mems faces. AS witness his plain
talk to the gentlemen of the New
Jersey bar association.
1T is true tJ1at the legal profess
sion, as profession, does not enjoy
the confidence Of the people. Yeu
are too technical; you are business
men on strictly legal lines. The com
munity no longer regards you as le-
gal guides.H
The probability is that the legal
gentlemen present applauded these
sentiments vigorously. The 'you, :
OF course, means the other man. Bar
associations u general have mort
ccurteously received the censures Of
such jurists and doctors of law as
President Taft, Mr.. Justice Hughes,
Dean Lawson, Of the Missouri uni
yersity of Law school; Prof. Roscce
Pound, of Harvard; Judge Amidon,
or the North Dakota federal court.
Yet those of the profession who sin
cerely wish 20 reform court codes
and to make the law fit the needs OF
current life appear to be quite help.
less. Paradoxically, even the ethies
Of the profession hamper their de
sires to make the practice OF tho Law
and the administration of justice
truly ethical. Kansas City Star.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, July 5.--There was a lwild fire market today in corn and
 oats. Heat and drought sent prices further above any level previously re-
 ported this season. Closing figures
 were strong at nearly the top point of
 the day, with corn up to 41-2cs to , l-Sc net, oats at an adyance of | l 3-4c to 1-4c and wheat showing
 gain of 1-4 to 1-5 to l 5-Sc. Pro- lvisons varied from five rents decline to a greater cost of 15c.
 Alarming me sages from the south west started corn on the upward rush. Oklahoma and Texas reported crops burned to death in the sizzling heat of the last few days. Southern
 Kansas told of temperature as high
 as 10 and no promise. of rain or cool-
 CT weather. Damage news also came from Missouri, but it was fear as the prospect of harm spreading widely On
 both sides of the Mississippi that lcaused the greatest excitement.
 In the oats crowd, dealers were az itated to an extent seldom witnessed
 According to leading experts, signs indicated crop of 100000 bushels
 less than last year and besides the condition of hay was put at 66 A against SOP for the corresponding time 12 months back.
 For the most part, the rise of the wheat market resulted from sympa thy with the big advance of corn and oats. An important factor however,
 was the idea that North Dakota no longer had a rosy outlook.
 Liberal exports sustained hog pro- ducts in the face of big increase in
 the world supply of lard. When the
 pit cleared, one or two futures exhih-
 ited an advance of 12 1-2 to 15 cents.

 News from various agricultural dis tricts was not altogether unfavorable and 1t is probable that the selling was based not upon reports of damage, but expectations of the harm to come from the intense heat.
 There were numerous railroad re- ports for May, that of the Great Northern being most conspicuous with it's loss in net of over $317000.
 Bonds were easier. Total sales par value $2,S00.000. United States fours declined IA on call
