FEAR TWO
VESSELS SANK

Mobile, Ala, Dec. 30.-The Cheslie,
q British schooner, out from Pasca-
goula, is reported to have been lost in
the storm that swept the Gulf of
Mexico on Christmas day.
The Griffin. an American schooner
that sailed from PascagOula last
Tuesday, had not been heard from to-
day.
The crew of the Cheslie was believ-
ed to be aboard the schooner George
F. Scanned, which was anchored in the
lower harbor this morning because of
fog. The Cheslie, bound for Havana,
had a cargo of lumber.
In the Christmas storm, the bark
Milwa was abandoned in the gulf. It's
crew was picked up by the steamer
Cestrian and taken to Gulfport.
The bark Sirdar ~foundered during
the storm, but its crews was rescued
and taken to Pensacola.

particular value; still, it does no harm,
and since 1t Is in vogue, n might

one one meets nowadays is expert

who lives just outside of town.
Miss Kirk makes her home in Cum
berland county, but she loves a lad in
San Francisco. The other day she was
seated on the veranda of her home
with her mind in California. His name
is Charley. Well, as she thought of
Charley she unconsciously traced his
name with a pencil on her forearm.
Within a few minutes she, being a
novice at dermagraphy, was amazed to
see the name raised nearly a quarter
of an inch, deep red, with a white
border. She vas alarmed. and called
on the telephone to her physician.
When he arrived the name had disap-
peared. In exchange for his fee he told
Miss Kirk what the ailment was

New York Post: President Wilson'S
letter asking that a reprimand be ad-
mir1iStered to the army and navy Of
ficers who took part in the proceed
ings at the recent dinner, Of the Order
Of Carabao in Washington, is digni-
fed in one and puts the case with
such strength, and in such felicitous
words, that no exception can be taken
to it.. Even the officers involved must
admit the justice of the presidents po-
sition. The incident is thus closed,
and we may be sure that nothing of
the kind will again be attempted. But
before the echoes OF the affair have
died away, it is we'll to note just what
Is the distinction that the president
sets up, n just what is TO be in
ferred from it. !
1t is said hat this administration is
showing itself wofully thin-skinned'
Can't it take q joke? Only recall the
good natured Taft, laughter shaking
his ample frame as he listened to
jests at his expense, n then think
what a fall 1t is to have a president
without a sense of humor, and both
sour and severe But it will be news
to those who know President Wilson,
or have heard him speak, or followed
his career, that he faces the world
with a vinegar aspect. The salt Of
wit was not left out of his mind. He
likes good stories, and has no end of
them. At college Publications he was
never thought Of as &. deaths head.
And in his campaign, both for the
g~overnorship of New Jersey and for
the presidency, everybody must re-
member how often he lighted up the
serious argument of his speeches with
a humorous flash, and how in his talks
with the newspaper correspondents
limericks flowed from him. while no
one had a keeneT enjoyment h he
of clever thrusts and digs at him. No
one, to be sure, yer took Woodrow
Wilson for a fellow of infinite jest,
but to assert that he has not a lively
sense of humor is to betray entire ig-
norance of the man.
Moreover, he has never shown him
self hurt or peevish under h kind
of .raillery to which all presidents of
the United States are subjected. That
sort Of thing goes with the. office. The
are a numerous and audacious tribe,
and they have flung their little fun
making darts at Mr.. Wilson, as at all
his predecessors. No one has. ever
heard him complain of this He has
never sought to set himself up as
above ridicule. This administration
has had no thought of establishing
the theory of Observation-Disclosures in
our country. Indeed, when the presi-
dent and the members of the cabinet
have gone to meetings of the Gridiron
club in Washington, where joking is
the rule for all, and where official dig
nifty is not spared, they have taken the
"grinds" on themselves with smiling
faces.
If humor, and the universal right to

Chicago, Dec. 30.--It was the gossip
Of the trade last night that there had
been more general covering by shorts
In wheat, corn and oats than for
some time past. Those who covered
said they regarded the bearish feeling
too unanimous for a continued de-
cline, and that there has been enough
liquidation Of late to warrant an up
turn. A number of the commission
houses who have been bearish ad-
vised covering early in the day.
Corn bulls said the pressure was
off the market. 1t was said that the
largest short in December had re-
duced his line to small proportions,
but the impression is that there is a
good sized scattered short interest.
Cash sales were 35, 900 bushels wheat;
40, 900 bushels corn; 100000 bushels
oats. Export sales wheat were az
900 bushels Manitobas reported at the

BLOCKS FOREIGN POTATO DEAL.
Secretary Houston Quickly stops and
Am Intended Rush Into New York,

Nc -
A story in The New York Sun of last
Saturday morning says that heavy i'm
p%orters, in that city, of foreign pota-
toes are appearing very angry becauss
the Department Of agriculture at
Washington changed the date for the
New York market from Jan. 1 to Dec.
20.
After the recent hearing in Washing
ton, when the secretary Of agriculture
fixed Jan. 1 as the limit for loading
potatoes abroad for this market, re-
~ceivers here cabled orders to engage
tramp steamers and load potatoes be-
fore the time expired. Arrangements
had been made for 200, 900 bags, which.
with the 100000 on hand would have
made a stock of $50, 900 bags of foreign
potatoes for his market
The change of date blocked the plan.
An agricultural department. inspector
learned Of the move and wired to
Washington. Secretary Houston first
said he would max the date Christmas
eve, but on further confirmation of the
effort to rush potatoes here he made it
Dec. %. Many tramp steamers that
had been chartered were released.
