SLUMP lH WHEAT CAUSED ~
REPORT OF kAlsER,s ILLNESS

CHICAGO. Dec. possibilities
that the kaiser's death might lead to
a sudden peace had much to do today
with bringing about decided down
turn In the price of wheat. The mar
ket closed heavy, M01c to 11sr under

visions varying from &C decline rise

Statements that the kaiser had
pneumonia and was in a serious con-
dition made news regarding him be-
come all at once of prime Importance
to the wheat pit. It was not, how
ever, until the last hour of trading
that his illness had any effect on the
market, as up to that time the all
ment was supposed to be merely an
ordinary cold. On the other hand,
traders here were quick to act on the
idea that the treacherous nature of
pneumonia might easily in his case
result in more immediate radical
changes of the European situation
than the military outlook had seemed
to warrant. The selling that follow
ed was shared in by some of the larg-
est houses on Changer
! Previous to the furry about EN-
peror Williams condition. the wheat
market hadN shown a hardening tend
ency due to export sales. frost in Ar
gentina and the talk of persistent lack
of adequate moisture for the winter
crop in western Kansas. Primary re-
ceipts continued surprisingly large,
but were perhaps fully Offset by rea-
son of big decrease in the seeded
area of winter wheat In Russia.
Export sales of 100000 bushels
made the corn market comparatively
firm, despite the weakness of wheat.
Wet weather and the consequent less
ening of receipts tended also toward
steady prices, although speculative
selling caused at one time moderate
sag.
Oats suffered from the slowness of
eastern demand. Shorts here were
principal buyers.
Provisions bulged in sympathy with
the hog market. The effect wore OF,
however, when subsequently, the adj
vance at the yards was lost.

LIKE PIRATE DAYS OF OLD
Men Who Were shanehaied From

to their story. by an alleged crew ship

The three were asked to sign ship
ping papers. but the Swede refused to
sign until he had read them. This
angered the agent. who is alleged to
have drawn a revolver and knocked
the Swede unconscious.
The young men say that they we're
given about s. worth of clothing and
put aboard the ship. Then they
learned that they were bound for Ham
burg instead of Boston. but were
forced to work. When the steamer
reached the other side of the Atlantic

The most delightful houses to visit
are those belonging to certain women
who took their college degrees and
spent their time until marriage in
teaching or In similar occupations.
The husbands have gained companions
as well as cooks and housekeepers,
and the concentration that enabled
those women to gain their degree IL
now turned to making their wifehood
success.
They certainly do play golf or ten
mis- or walk for exercise. They pal
with their husbands on equal terms.
The fact that they have one accom-
plishment puts them on q footing with
the learned class.
One accomplishment always leads
to many. So the parents who allow
their daughters to sit down and wait
on the chance Of q husbands turning
up are sadly neglecting their duty.

women take pride in saying. Il never
