"There was once London lady, the

decided, being rather bored, to go in
for charity So she rang for her elec-

THE lady selected the very worst
house in the New Cut, and she paid a
call of about half an hour on the poor
tired, underfed woman who lived
there. The questions she asked this
woman were supercilious and imperti.

But when she came to go, her hos

Queer Audience Views Comedy


A four-act comedy recently given by
the New York School for the Hard OF
Hearing, created singularly weird
impression amongst those present
who were not familiar with lip read
ing and the sign language. Words
were used, but they were not meant
to be heard, for the players and most
OF the audience were deaf. Cues and
clever lines alike were read, not
heard, and the lips OF the silent speak
ers were the media. Even the hand
clapping with which some of the
audience, unfamiliar with the conven-
tions of the lipo-drama, were prompt
ed to express their applause, was dis
couraged by the knowing ones, who
seemed to manifest their approval by
an airy wave of the hand aloft In
the longer play presented, pity was
taken upon that portion of the audi
ence which, though able to hear, was
so illequipped as not to be able to
read the lips of the performers. So
In Many a Slip 'Twixt the Girl and
the Lip" the lines were read out
loud. even though they were not
heard by any OF the members OF the
cast.

RATHER bEAR|SH
THOUGH CHEERFUL
Politics Cut Some Figure
Crops Good, and
Bonds Lower

New York, July 12.-Trading in
stocks was characterized by alternate
declines and rallies with more or less
hesitation at the end. Business was
light except in the first hour when
prospects of a money s~tringency--
call loans later went to 3 1-2 per
cent--induced some liquidation with
a liberal admiXture of short selling.
Sentiment amongs traders was
largely bearish. his attitude being
based in part on monetary uncer-
tainty and the apparent lack of buy
ing power in the market. There is
also Il general belief that the So
called big speculative interests lave
abandoned the market to its own de-
vices until political conditions become
more clearly defined.
The days general news was cheer
full. embracing additional encouraging
crop advices from the northwest. dis
patches from the leading steel cen
ters announcing that nc cessation is
shown in orders, and statements from
railroad officialsin far west pointing
to the probability of a car famine be-
cause of the increasingly heavy ton
mage.
Aside from fresh weakness in cop
pers, foreign news "a encouraging,
although some anxiety is felt at the
heavy liquidation nov proceeding in

lions that the selling is related to
tension in the European political
situation. which is intensified by the
efforts of Italy and Turkey to make
new war loans in the French money
markets.

HAIL. AT DICKINSON
In Places Crops Arc a Total Loss
Small Per Cent Insured.

Dickinson. n. D.. July IA ter
rifle rain INC hail storm visited this
section a little after 2 o'clock yester-
day. cutting down all crops in its
path. The strip seems to be thirty
miles long and about five miles wide,
ending in a territory fifteen miles
southeast of Dickinson.
Hail fell for ten or fifteen minutes
and was accompanied by considerable
wind. At this point from one to two
inches of hail covered the ground and
most of the trees We're stripped of
foliage. Grass was cut down at the
Dickinson experiment station. All
crops were cut down. fruit was
knocked off the trees. many windows
broken and persons caught out in il
received many serious bruises.
Farmers who had insurance on
crops are just getting into the city to
report the losses. which are total in
most cases. Only a small per cent OF
the crops are insured. The precipita-
ton measures an inch and a half.

THE WHEAT POSITION.

The wheat market during the last
SIX working days was largely a
weather market and prices declined,
due to the general rainfall in the
spring wheat sections where they
We're. much needed. Moisture fell in
all parts of the northwest in scat
tered showers but continued through
the week and practically all por-
t,ons We're covered greatly beneftine
was high and this, with tn rains
brought rapid progress i'm all grains
as we'll as to promote the growth OF
root crops. Previous hot and dry
weeks had created a scare which, had
it continued, would have brought ir-
reparable damage. That was an ex
listing condition when the July 1 re-
port of crop condition was gathered
and influenced the report that came
out on the 10th inst. Minneapolis
receipts of wheat in the period con-
sidered We're Gel cars as compared
With 1.1S7 in the corresponding days
in 1911. The smaller arrivals OF
wheat in the period considered Were
661 cars as compared with 1,1S7 in
the corresponding days in 1911. The
smaller arrivals of wheat the last
week appears to indicate a closer
marketing of the crop of last veal
than at this time in the season OF
the previous crop. While the cause
of the recent uneasiness about the
prospect of the wheat crop this sea
son. is for the time removed the dam
ger Of hot winds about the filling
time is not gone and these are pos
sible to harrass producers and mar
kets up to the harvest days. Con-
corning the years wheat harvest OF
the world the International Institute
of Agriculture in its last bulletin OF
satisfies gives to the principal coun-
tries a greater wheat area thar in
1911, excepting North America in
both area and condition during June
The government report of wheat
condition July / is 1913 for spring
wheat and 1873 for winter wheat and
$4,000. 900 bushels of indicated yield
of both spring and winter as COM
pared with 621 ,00o. 900 in 1911 and
$4,000. 900 bushels in 1910. 1t fol
lows that the indicated yield is less
thar the ascertained yield of 1911 OF
1910. 70 add to the deficiency is
the report of farm reserves of 24.0O0,-
900 bushels against $4,000, 900 a yea1
ago. which altogether indicates small
Ter supply than in either of the last
two seasons. With this in mind and
world outturn only average there is
reason to expect full value for the
crop of 1912.

MISSED DEATH
By A MIRACLE
500 Line Train Runs Into an
Open Switch in
Minot.

Minot. N. D.. July IA bad acct
dent was narrowly averted when the
Bismarck-Minot train on the. 500 line
ran into an open switch as it drew in
to the Minot yards. The train crash
ed into an empty box a which was
standing on the side track, smashing
one end of the car badly and damag-
ing the pilot on the engine.
The passengers on the train were
given a severe shaking up but aside
from some bruises sustained by the
newsman, no one was, injured. The
engineer and fireman both escaped in
jury. although they, too, we're badly
shaken up.
Miraculous Escape.
A couple of car repairers whose
names could not be learned has a mir
aculous escape from death. They had
been at work under the box a re-
moving some trucks which were to re-
place a pair Of defective trucks under
one of Campbell brothers cars. The
men were brought to Minot from Ken
mare to put Campbell brothers train
in shape for transfer to the Great Nor
them line, and only a short time be-
fore the collision occurred had been
working under the box a into which
the passenger train crashed
The train was travelling along at a
rate Of about twenty miles an hour
when suddenly, without any warning
whatever, the engine ran onto the
siding. Had it been going faster the
probabilities are the train would have
jumped the track.
