Mixed Stock FarmIno.

AS rule, on the average farm at
least, 1t will be better to have few
cattle, some horses, score Of swine
and small flock Of sheep. than to have
the same amount Of money invested
in either cattle or hogs alone. There
is greater safety In such distribution
OF capital, inasmuch as the different
kinds OF stock subsist somewhat on
different kinds OF food. and IL on &C.
count of drouth or for some other
reason one kind Of food fails, others
may be made available to carry
through in good condition at least one
or more of the classes OF animals kept.

DINNER GUESTS GO HUNGRY
Aged Royal Host Slept and Etiquette

Should Be Awakened.

Prince Leopold, the recently de-
ceased regent of Bavaria, some weeks
before his fatal illness, fell asleep ut
a dinner party Immediately after the
first course. His guests were re-
strained by etiquette from waking
him. but continued their conversation
In a low tone. The servants did not
dare to continue serving the dinner.
The prince soon commenced to
snore. and slept on for two hours. dur
ing which time no one allowed himself
to leave his place. The guests sat
famished In the same room with a
marvelously appointed dinner. Finally
Prince Leopold awoke. He took hur-
ried glance round the table and saw

faces successfully pretending to have
noticed nothing. Persuaded that his
slight lapse had passed completely un.

NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF NAVY

For the second time New York
state furnishes Roosevelt as assist
ant secretary of the navy. The Illus
trious Theodore served in that capa-
city under Mckinley, and now his
cousin, Franklin d. Roosevelt, but a
sturdy Democrat. has been appointed
to the same post.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is a tighter,
too. but In a manner different from
that of our ex-president. The spring
box and the deceitful dik-dik need not
fear him, and 1t is unlikely that he
will ever lead charge up San Juan
hill or any other hill. The biggest
game that Franklin ID. Roosevelt has
ever attacked was the Tammany
tiger and the striped cat got by far
the worst Of the encounter. Roose-
welt In 1910 was elected state senator
from Duchess, Columbia and Putnam
counties and at once led bolt

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain letter

Chicago. Dec. 29.-Weather forecast
for week covers fair weather mainly
with a turn TO some real cold late in
week. 4 moderate amount of rain
and snow is expected Weekend re-
views are a shade bearish on wheat
and a little hopeful in corn. Net
amount OF corn decline last week is
regarded as trihing in view OF the
enormous receipts. Terminals are
blocked with corn and a shut-off in the
corn movement is expected. Corn Wis
ible today should increase two TO four
millions. Deliveries OF two to three
millions more are expected on Deem
Der corn contracts. The battle in corn
overshadovs all other grain markets.
Last three days for December corn
adjustments are here. Chicago corn
supplies in all positions increased
about 100000 last week Primary re-
ceipts Of corn for mast two weeks ex-
coed any December records at total
OF %. 100000 Movement has been at
double the usual December pace. A
further corn break and a subsequent
sharp rally are among the chances of
the current week. Locals may con-
tinue their pressure. Longs in Decem-
Der corn have not improved their posi-
ton by waiting. Oats and wheat Wis
ible cannot change seriously either
way. Corn visible increase might be
very large. Inter-Ocean says popular
estimate is 5000. 600 corn will be de-
livered before Wednesday at 1:15.

James E. Callahan, retained by Glenn
inson's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Isaiah
Cieminson. 1t will constitute one of
the conditions. he announced, when he
takes the case before the state board.
The doctor is in the Joliet penitentiary.
Evidence in the form of affidavits
will be introduced to carry out the
contention that DR.. Cleminson did not
arrive at his residence at 41sS Wayne
avenue until after 3 O'Clock on the
morning OF May 81, 1909, when the
body of his wife was found; that the
condition of the body proved Mrs.
CIeminson had been dead az least six
hours prior TO that time; and that
Mrs. Cleminson's death was the result
of suicide by chloroform or of heart
failure.
The chief evidence is given by
Mrs. Anna Schmidt, since remarked,
whose affidavit affirms she was with
DR.. Cleminson at his Office in Chicago

until nearly 4 O'Clock the next morn

On a corn crop with deficiency of
$40 900, 600, as compared with one year

tically unusual movement.
For month OF December, Chicago
ships about 80 per cent of former
normal totals to the east Our Ar
gentine corn imports are guessed at
100000, of which $500, 900 have ar
rived. United States corn exports are
triiing.
Extraordinary conditions have
brought extraordinary receipts and pit
pressure. We are now receiving the
corn that under normal influences
would reach Chicago In January and
