Weakness came because there was too
much wheat in sight and not enough
demand for IL. Liverpool was strong
but or Tuesday slumped or some ow-
ing 10 the American weakness,
although Twas not so weak as bear
ish dealers here expected. Argentina
transportation troubles are having q
bullish influence in Liverpool
The trouble Is that farmers are lib
eral sellers OF wheat and millers spar
ing buyers. This keeps stocks heavy
and there is no chance for exports as
Liverpool prices are much too low. The
matter OF supplies IL not mending. for
on Tuesday primary receipts were
heavier than a year ago, and so was
the movement az Minneapolis. On Tues

And left US dreaming how very fair

PRETTY TIES AND JABoTs
May Be Made at Home From Four.
Inch Wide Black and White
Satin Ribbon Ends.

Smart ties can be made from black
and white satin ribbon four inches
wide. A good-looking jabot is made
from q six-inch strip of three-inch rib
bon in soft satin, with check or dot.
Round the bottom edge with inch silk
fringe, and across the top put satin
butterfly bow in the same shade. This
bow may have double loops on each
side without ends, or can have two
loops and two ends, the latter pointed
and finished with small tassel.
For quite young girls this model is
prettily made Of plaid ribbon, with
black fringe and black bow.
A stiff, rather formal effect is had
from jabot of white satin two
inches wide at the top and four and a
half inches at the bottom, which Is cut
straight across at the end, and that
reaches to the bust line. The upper
part is drawn stif1y over two straight
stir loops an inch and half on either
side. An inch and half from the bot
tom put a two-inch band of f1let lace
insertion, and above it three crocheted
buttons, one above the other. This
jabot is especially attractive in vivid
green satin, with ecru lace banding
and small gilt buttons.

The Gloomy Poets.

In the course Of week a large
number of poems reach this Office.
most of them written by persons with
little experience in verse making, says
the Kansas City Star The striking
thing about the output, however. is
not that SO many persons who have
never written poetry should be exper.
imenting with 1t. but that nine-tenths
of them should be so melancholy. The
great majority of poems submitted for
publication reflect spirit of gentle
gloom
What are the wild waves saying 2"
inquire the poets with one accord
And why do they say it? Why should
sense of woe weigh us down? Why
are the autumn winds so melancholy
Why Is anything, anyhow?
A careful reading of several hum
dred poems of this type does not
leave the impression that the writer's
are such gloomy lot as they might
appear. One comes to believe that
most of them are normally cheerful,
but that somehow they have been led
to suppose that sadness belongs to
poetry.

WHEN THE SAND MAN COMES
How One Mother Does Away With
the FretfuIness That Sometimes
Precedes Bedtime.

About half an hour before nap-time,
Junior is washed and given cup OF
milk. Then I set him in his high
chair and give him something that he
can play with quietly for some time.
If he still seems hungry, give him q
piece of zweiback or crust Of toast.
that will keep him busy for long
season. Then, he has music box
and some cards and a disreputable
clothespin DOLL that we call his Quiet
time Playthings," and do not let him
see at any other time. If he is very
restless and / have the time, we go
into the sitting-room, darken It, and
play softly and sing the dear old mel
odies, that make my voice tremulous
with memories Of my childhood.
