Chicago Markets,

Chicago, Jan. 9.--Drastic selling
out of corn had weakening effect to-
day on all cereals. Wheat specula-
tons tried to follow the corn market,
selling when it was weak and buying
when there were signs of turn. Buy
ing on the part of cash houses made
oats relatively steady. Provisions weat
up grace with hogs. Prices rallied la
ter in wheat when corn swung more in
favor of the bulls. The close was
steady at shade above last ,,ight,
Buenos Ayres reports that the corn
crop was late owing to frost gave that
market an upturn The close was ner-
vous at an advance of 3-S to 1-2 net.

HOW DID JONES GET OUT OF DEBIT

He put the soft pedal on the outgo.
That was the first thing that Jones

Jones, well all pull out together.

So where Lily Belle had been going
to Madame La Modiste for gowns, she
now hunted up little sewing woman
who came to the house, and together
the two sat down and made the neees-
sary frocks-right at home,
And first thing you knew, Lily Belle
could do it by her lonesome.
Jones chuckled.
Where Mrs. Jones had been fretting
herself into nervous prostration over
the wastefulness, the laziness and the
general cussedness of a biggity but
superb cook, she now went into her
own kitchen and took a good look at
the situation.
Il believe I'll tackle it myself" an
nounced Sister Jones.
Which the same she did.
Instead of menus prescribed by the
cook, the Joneses had just what they
wanted. There was just enough of it
for the Joneses, too. "Totin'," that

Again Jones chuckled
And where Susanna had been beg

now whirled in and got busy with her
books in real college near by-right
at home
She learned sense. did Susanna; lots
of it.
And when she'd come home every
once in a while, to see the folks, Jones
would get to chuckling.
And Jones himself?
Well you see. Jones was a merchant.
He had somehow or other caught the
drift of things before he got too far
over on the wrong side.

If trade with foreign countries is an

Il isn't reasonable to suppose that
by ending several hundred dollars to

they have never seen, on the mere
promise that the investment will be
multiplied by ten.
If stranger were to approach any
of these gullible persons on the street

that he could double it. they would
turn away from him. Nevertheless,
they read the long winded promises OF
the "get-rich-quick" artists, sent
through the United States mails, and
send their money without question. Il
the promises of big returns are kept
