the prophecy came true on last
Saturday morning. 1t came to my
mind with startling force as soon as

Another story that is told in con-
nection with the earlier happenings OF
the night 1t is related that the ne
gro Johnson, in company with an ltln-
Grant umbrella member, visited sa-
loon in the neighborhood OF the l.. q
n. depot, where the umbrella mender
was given half-pint bottle of Chick
en- Cock Whisky in exchange for the
work he did on an umbrella. The
man later on in the night came into
the saloon and informed the porter
that the negro had knocked him down
and robbed him of his pocket book
two dollars in money and his whisky
Johnson disappeared, and the nall
pint bottle that was found on the
porch of the Meade nome bore
Chicken Cock label.

NO BREAD FAMINE.

There will be no bread famine In
the United States this year. The larg-
eat wheat crop in history has just
been harvested and according to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. the total production Is approxi-
mately 911.000.000 bushels; nearly
150.000.000 bushels more than any pre-
v!ous crop produced in the United
States. We have at least $50, ,000, 900
bushels OF wheat which are not needed
for consumption at home or for seed.
Tho surplus production OF the United
States usually goes to Europe, but
under present conditions. caused by
the European war. this cereal cannot
CROSS the ocean. About 100000
bushels have already been taken for
export, but most OF Il ts being held at
the ports of departure.
Conditions arross the water are not
so encouraging. war In Europe tends
to prevent the shipment of whea2
from surplus European countries to
those which need imports-for exam
ple-from Russia to France and q
famine there seems Inevitable.
