... AN Ex.pR eSl0EN1

president Roosevelt once remarked
.haC after great state dinner to y
representative Of another nation he
had said to Mrs. Roosevelt, There
goes one child's schooling for q
year." The dinner had cost abou.
what 1t would have taken to main.a.l
Child for a year in q boarding school,
Yet he was not giving it in his pri.
vate capacity, but as the natior's
agent.
He told Of the incident in discus
sion OF The financial straits into which
ex-presidens often have come. Fer.
tunately, he said, the subject did not
concern him personally, since he hat,
some money and besides, be expected
to be able to earn his own living. Bv
the chances we're. he felt, that man
who had beer before the public long
enough to become president would b,
cut Of touch with business or prcfes-
sional life, so that it would not be
easy for him to get back and earn
the income to maintain the standard
CT living that the country expected Of
an ex-president. If president were
relieved Of the necessity of saving ou
of his salary by the assurance Of a
national pension on his retirement
from office, he would be relieved Of
burden, and the nation would not
risk the sort of humiliation that 1t
was forced to share with General
Grant In the Ward failure.

cree building in Minneapolis Is Z hall
some Sky by one hundred feet %
size. In one end OF this hall are some
twenty-five or thirty tables, On
these tables you find numerous small
ans containing the samples Of grain
which is for sale In Minneapolis each
day. Af.er the commission man 70

scribed; and the large millers and
foreign buyers send their representa-
tives there to examine the samples
and to bid for or buy the grain. In
this respect, grain there is sold ON
its merits. The deals made are tho
cash transactions" Why? Because
the actual products are dealt In.
They buy and sell grain that has al
ready been delivered in the local mar
ket. -
In the other end Of the hall is what
is known as the pit. This is simply
a circular arrangement Of steps some
three feet in length, sloping towards
the center. In this pit are the bulls
and bears; and that is good name
for them, because they resemble ami.
mails more than human beings. II
any of you have ever visited the VIC.
lent ward Of some insane asylum You
will be at a loss to distinguish be-
tween the inmates there and the Eulls
and bears in the pit. But in this pit
is where futures are dealt with. Con-
tracts are entered into there which
contemplate the delivery Of grain
which no one knows 10 exist, yeA
which must be delivered at a given
time. A great many pit transactions
are legitimate, such as "hedges."
That is to say the selling Of grain
which has not arrived but which has
been bought by some independent
grain dealer, or which is still In stor-
age on the farm. But the great bulk
of the pit transactions are mere Spec
ulative deals.

THE NEEDED CHURCH.

A Sunday meeting place for people
who think.
A church founded on the Beatitudes
A church that writes Hope over it's
portal and Love over its altar
A church that does not ask "What
is your creed?" but "What is your
aim?''
A church with no devil, but mans
inhumanity to man, and no hell, but
a mans own conscience.
A church that believes enough in
God that he will save to the utter
most; and believes enough in man to
believe he viii want t. be saved to
the utterost.
A church that follows Jesus Christ
as John followed him, aud Paul and
Franklin and Lincoln "
A church with q star ever shining
ever every grave, and q rainbow ever
arching every grief.
A church that holds that Health,
Good Cheer and Faith are catching
and that Optimism is the only right
attitude.
A church with no seats for the rich
man because he is rich, or the poor
man because he IL poor; but with
seats for every man who comes %
worship God in spirit and in truth.

partment; and all independent ship-
pers. as rule. shipping grain 10 De
sold at Minneapolis and Duluth are
governed by the rules OF these depart
ments. The grain is therefore IN
spected and weighed by state officials.
The theory is that the state acts as a
disinterested parry. Some fifty o..
sixty miles before the grain reaches
the terminals state officials enter the
cars and proceed to take samples OF
the grain therein contained. These
samples are put in small bags and
forwarded by express. to the state in.
spection department located In the
city to which the grain has been con-
signed. After arriving there the
grain is inspected and the grades and
dockage determined by the duly au-
thorised state officers. II the buyer
or shipper 10 dissatisfied with the 70
suit Of the first inspection he may de.
