DISAGREE ON SANITY.

,
street broker, who lives at 428
Belden av., wants his wife sent to
an insane asylum. He has had
her committed to the detention
home.
Henderson says his wife insist
ed upon writing love letters to
prominent Chicago men. This he
says shows she is insane.
Mrs. Henderson admits writ
ing the letters, but declares that
this is no sign of her insanity.
Both her husband and she are the
osophists. Mrs. Henderson says
that the men she wrote to were
her lovers in former fife.
Among the men Mrs. Hender-
son wrote to are Ogden T. Nc
Clurg, Eames rMcVeagh, Ebert
Hubbard and Floyd Dell. There
were three kinds of letters; one
asking the recipient to CALL, one
asking him to call with money,
and one running like this:

THE OVERWORKED MAN.
By Berton Braley.
"He died of overwork," they said,
And really thought the words
were true;
For he had toiled with hand and
head
Much more, perhaps, than
most men do.
But overwork was not the cause;
For all his toll he'd still be here
If he had needed Natures aIaws
So simple, sane and wise and
clear.
He overate, he overdrank,
Which undermined his native
vim;
He overdrew upon the bank -
Of health the Lord had given
him.
All day in offices he sat;
He scarcely ever walked bit,
And gre wso Aabby, soft and fat,
But never blamed himself for it..
And thus, when years had taken
toll
Of strength he'd done his best
drain,
The body yielded up the soul
And people talked of business
strain.
Each year sees thousands pass
away

on the splendid crop reports. He
says that nine billions of dollars
worth in new wealth will be pro-
duced by the soil this year as
against eight billions in 1911.
There is no. section wherein
crops have failed" said Reynolds.
The corn crop will reach more
than 100000 bushels. The oat
crop is expected to be the big
gest ever harvested. The hay
crop will be enormous. The cot
ton crop is the only one that will
fall slightly below the average.
The good peach crop now being
gathered is an indication that all
fruits will be plentiful this fall. =
This ought to lower beef
prices quite appreciably. But the
price of beef never will be as low
as it was ten years ago. This is
because the broad grazing lands
have been split into homesteads."
Reynolds is probably quite
right about the crop outlook and
that the crop outlook ought to
lower prices. The only trouble is
that he has not taken into ac-
count the Beef Trust which con-
trolls the price of meat.
On what the Beef and other /
trusts choose to do depend the
prices of next winter.

And it's two-to-one bet that
shoppers in the loop district are
better able to drop in and get an
