Daily Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-All markets
are still on sound basis. No signs of
weakness. Investors and shorts will
buy corn on breaks. Wheat, corn and
oats appear to be on permanently
higher ground. Low fighting levels
probably s1O1, SOC and 341ac. Corn
figures out Sic per ton and oats $40.
These cereals are too cheap on this
high cost of situation. The circum-
stances that led to present firmness
in all grains do not point to serious
recessions. Question being raised as
to whether southern corn production
is over-estimated.

There was a thrilling emphasis in
Nathaniels answer. He nodded his

A Humble Invention.

To forget the inventions of the
hour is an impossibility. They are
before one at every turn, and many of
them contain potantialities vast and
much discussed. For that very rea-
son 1t is we'll occasionally to contem-
plate some invention of the past which
works unremittingly and inconspicu'
ously for the welfare of mankind. Con
slider the air brake. How many. when
they take Journey by rail, ever take
thought of the device which stands
ready to insure safety from possible
accidents? All are so used to the
device which stands ready to insure
safety from possible accidents? All
are so used to the sibilant noise below
the cars that they never consider its
portentousness. Yet by this applica-
ton of the power Of compressed air,
tens of thousands of lives have been
preserved. and railroad travel has
been made more expeditions. All this
is arrant truism; not word of it, but
what has been said scores of times be-
fore. But we like to dwell upon the
air brake as one of those typical in
ventions which are doing their work
faithfully and humbly while recent
creations get the glory and applause

One Sunday the boarder, returning

The grim definiteness with which
he described the manner of their end
added to those sensations which had
already become acutely discomforting
to Nathaniel. Had he possessed the
use of his voice when the Mormons
were leaving he would have called
upon them to return and lengthen the
thongs about his ankles by an inch
or two. Now. with almost brutal
frankness, Neil had explained to him
the meaning of his strange posture.
His knees began to ache. An oc-
casional sharp pain shot up from them
to his hips. and the thong about his
neck, which ut first he had used as a
support Tor his chin. began to irritate
him. At times he found himself rest
