WHEAT MARKET RALLIES
Doubt as to Success Of Recipr city
in Canadian Election Gave
Grain Upward Tendency.

Chicago, Sept 20--Douht about
the success OF reciprocity rallied the
wheat market today after a decline
due to free movement OF tn grain
from the harvest fields of Germany
and France Closing figures We're a
quarter higher. Corn and oats both
a quarter up.
The large local dealers in wheat
appeared to have more faith than
anybody else in rllmors which were
industriously circulated that recip-
rocity would be rejected tomorrow
by Canada.
generous amount of buving
was done in the pit as the result of
Willingness to take chances on the
vote turning out to be adverse.
There was selling pressure due to
fine weather and liberal receipts
northwest of here Subsequently q
decrease in stocks at Minneapolis
and much smaller arrivals in Kan
sas City helped the market take Il
bullish swing.
Lightness of receipts led to some
late strength in corn. Local specu-
lative buying made oats relatively
stronger than other grains.

VERY RICH NEVER GENEROUS
They May Give Away Their Money,
but Never Themselves, Says
G. X. Chesterton.

There are two other odd and rather
important things to be said about
them. The first la this; That with
this aristocracy we do not have the
chance Of lucky variety In types
which belongs to larger and looser
aristocracies. The moderately rich
include all kinds of people--even
good people. Even priests are some
times saints; and even soldiers are
sometimes heroes Some doctors have
really grown wealthy by curing their
patients and not by fiattering them;
some brewers have been known to
sell beer. But among the very rich
you will never find really generous
man, even by accident. They may
give their money away, but they will
never give themselves away; they are
egotistic, secretive, dry as old bones
To be smart enough to get all that
money, you must be dull enough to
want 1t.
Lastly the most serious point about
them is this: That the new miser Is
hattered for his meanness and the
old one never was. 1t was never
called self-denial In the old miser that
he lived on beans II Is called self
denial In the new millionaire II he
lives on beans A man like Dancer
was never praised as q Christian
saint for going in rags A man like
Rockefeller is praised as sort of
pagan stole for his early rising or his
linassuming dress. His simple
meals. his Simple" clothes, his
simple" funeral, are all extoIled as
II they we're creditable to him. They
are disgraceful to him, exactly as dis
graceful as the tatters and vermin of
the old miser we're disgraceful to him.
To be 10 rags for charity would be the
condition of saint; to be In rags
for money was that OF filthy old
fool. Precisely in the same way, to
be Simple" for charity is the state
OF saint; to be simple" for money
lis that of filthy old fool. or the two
I have more respect for the old mlser,
Euswing bones in an attic.--G. X.

Action Of Frost on. Plants.

SWeulsn DotanlsL mas propounded a
new thory to explain the killing action
of frost on plants, as well as the fact
that certain plants escape damage
when others are destroyed. He OBJ

winters of Sweden, have the starch In
their leaves replaced during the cold
season by sugar. He then found that
