BEAUTIFUL HANDS
NJ. c. ROBBINS.

The hands that touch the golden
harps above,
And make tho welken ring with
heavens own song,
They are the hands that while on
earh they stayed
Were never known TO do the thing
that's wrong,
For as they worked along life's
dreary path.
They scattered deeds of kindness
on the way,
They made so many aching hearts
rejoice
And did some noble act just every
day.
For symmetry they were not noticed
here
For they were hard and brown
from work and toll,
But when some work was found for
them TO do
They did not mind the hardship
nor the soil.
/ call a hand like that a noble work,
Il Is the hand that lifts the fallen
one
Until their life-work here is DER
and done.
And they are called at last to wear
crown.
A thing Of beauty all such hands will
be.
No matter il they're hard and soilet
and brown.
For IN life's struggle they have faith.
ful been.
And we'll we know they're sure tC
grasp a crown.
And they will touch the golden harpi
on high,
And youth and beauty to them vii
be given
Perhaps on earth they never wore {
gem,
But rountless ones they will re
ccive in heaven.
oh yes such hands will lift the veal
ones M.
And smooth the pillow meath a dy
ing head
Such hands the cup Of water Away
gives
And hv their bounty many poor ar
fed
They never fail you in the hour o
need.
Bun in life's darkest hour they hell
so much.
No ear'hlv e"T's adorned such hand
while here.
But he"ven was represented II

WHEAT MARKET
WEAKER TODAY
LARGE WORLD SHIPMENTS, WITH
FRENCH CROP GAINS AND
WARM WEATHER CAUSES.

Chicago, May 20.-There was an ex-
treme scarcity of buying orders in the
wheat pit today and the market turn
ed very weak. Free selling resulted
from the influence of large world
shipment and the estimate Of a French
official report showing winter wheat
acreage larger than last year with a
condition materially improved. Warm
err temperatures in the United States
tended also to favor the bear side. The
opening was u q "A c lower. July start
ed at s1.0SH to s1.0SA, the same
change from Saturday night as the
market taken altogether. A decline to
s1.O7 followed and then rallied to
s1.07h.
Execution of numerous stop loss or
ders led to a further break. Subse-
quently a big decrease in the u, s.
visible supply total rallied prices some
what. The close was easy with July
Nc net lower at s1.07b.
Moderate offerings on the part of the
cash houses and commission concerns
proved sufficient to knock out support
planting and growth counted against
the bulls. July opened unchanged to "a
up at 755h to 74A, dropped to 1875 and
recovered to 1917 @73Bc.
Scantiness of buying resulted in an
additional setback. Later there was an
upturn when wheat began to recover
The close was steady at 1917 for July,
a net loss of sc.
Renewed unloading by owners Of
oats melted the bears to become ag-
gressive regarding that cereal. The
fine crop outlook was reason for dis
couragement to holders. July started
% to 1c down at 1875 to 40 and sank
to 4SAs
Heavy receipts of hogs and the
weakness of grain put much pressure
on the trade in provisions. Initial trans
actions ranged from 2R to 15c lower
with September delivery $18.42k to
s1S.471a for pork, $10.S5 to s10.87h for
lard and 5000 for ribs.

PROMINENT NEWSPAPER COR
RESPONDENT EXPIRES AFT
Err TWO DAYS ILLNESS.

Waterloo, May 1S.-Julian Richards,
a we'll known newspaper man and for
many years political writer for lead
ing newspapers OF the country, Is dead
at his home here:
Death was unexpected and was the
result of an attack Of pneumonia.
Mr. Richards was formerly private
secretary to the late David B. Hender-
son, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives. He was 81 years old. He Is
survived by his wife, who recently re-
turned from the P. e. O. convention
at Ottumwa.
Mr.. Richards had been in the news
paper business during most Of his life
and was prominent in 1t for more than
thirty years. During the last few years
however, he had not been active, hav-
ing not been entirely well during that
period. He was one of the shrewdest
observers of political affairs, and for
years his estimates in that field were
Regarded as authoritative.
