evening Grain Letter.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-Wheat: Opening
prices showed moderate declines, n
the tone of the market was heavy all
day, with rather feeble rallies. Yester-
days buyers were the best sellers on
today's decline, and the market con-
tinues in a very nervous condition, the
principal changes in the same coming
largely owe night and being dependent
upon European political features. From
a purely domestic standpoint, the sit
uation is heavy. but we would advise
against short sales on the weak spots.
Corn-A generally easier tone pre-
vaded with the December delivery
again showing h~eaviness as compared
with the deferred futures, the same
being a reflection of the lack of de-
mand and cash prices were quoted
steady to 1-2c lower. The trend of the
market seems lower, although we do
not look for any severe break.
O~ats-Prices were easier with other
grains, but the decline was very slow.
We look for the market to drag lower.

American saIesmanship.

Sir Thomas Upton, in an interview
in New York, praised American sales
manship.
THE excellence of your salesman
ship" he said, is doubtless due to the
high salaries paid, these high salaries
drawing into the work a very high
class of men.
Even you book statesmen are good
and good book craftsmanship is a rare
thing.
There's a concern in England that
runs about a thousand bookstalls.
These stalls are manned by poor little
boys of nine or ten years-poor little
shabby, dirty fingered boys who ear
about ten bob, or $3.50 a week. And
what a job they make of book sales
manship, to be sure!
Il once went up to a stall and said
to the little boy who was lunching
behind the counter or cold cocoa and
bread. ~.
Have you got Chaucer's Canter-
bury Tales here?'
Setting down his cocoa cup, the
little fellow answered, with n voluble
and pathetic attempt at smart book
salesmanship:
'"'No. sir, we amt got it. That is, sir,
we amt got it at this stall, sir. You
see. we're tryin' it out al a few of our
larger stalls to see how it goes. If it
makes a hit, why, then Wen have it
here, sir"

Easy Time for Sixty DAYS,

Fred Lee. who turned the trick, sew
eral DAYS ago, of passing a worthless
check for $3.50 at one of the local
clothing stores after he had made a
small purchase and receiving the bal
ance in currency, was committed to
tie county Jail for a term of sixty
days, by Justice. Torson, this. morn
ing. The defendant claimed that he
only passed the check, that he did not
make it out. If he had~been held to
the district court on a charge of forg-
cry he would have had to remain in
Jail until the spring term Of court and
then it is more than probable that the
grand jury would nave indicted for
forgery of SO small an amount and on
very fiimsy evidence. Lee is sure of
his Thanksgiving and Christmas din
nerS at any rate.

GIRL Is GROWING NEW NOSE.

Fort Wayne, Ind, Nov. 26,-
Katharine Godfrey, 3 years
old, is growing a new nose ana the
materials are the left floating rib
from her body and flesh aiken
from the right forearm.
A year ago, the child lost, her
nose through an accident. Three
weeks ago physicians decided up
on a novel operation.
The floating rib was removed
from the chest and buried in the
= forearm, where it was allowed to
remain until flesh grew about. II.
The forearm was then bandaged
tightly to the child's face, where 1t
will remain until the flesh and
bone unite with the forehead.
The final step will be cutting the
forearm loose from the built-up
nose and the placing of skin to
prevent scars.
Thus far. every step in the
operation has been successful.

with much approval. The show is an
excellent n and the Rudd augment
