"kAISER'S DREAMS"
Says He Has Started on His Career
at The Request Of The Virgin
Mary.

Petrograd, Nov. 2.-The Gazette
Czestochowska, a newspaper pub
lished in Polish by the Germans
since they entered Czenstochoka,
prints the following announcement
by the Kaiser:
Poles, you remember how one
night the bells of the Sviatogorsk
Monastery rang out by themselves.
Pious people then felt that miracle
had happened. 1t was my decision to-
fight Russia and to restore Poland
her holy possessions and unite her
with one Of the most civilized coun-
tries in the world-namely, Germany.
81 had beautiful dream. The Vir-j
gin Mary came to me and ordered
me to save holy dwellings, which dan
ger threatened. She looked at me
with tears in her eyes, and l came
to obey her divine will.
"Know this, We Poles, and meet my
soldiers as brothers and saviors!
Know that those who are with me
will be generously rewarded and
those who are against me will perish.
with me is God and the holy Vir-
gin. She raised Germany's sword to
save Poland"

Weekly Cotton Review

New York. September 11.--Rather more optimistic tone has developed in cotton trade circles here during the past week Little actual progress has been made in liouidating the old straddle interest, but enough has been done to indicate that the plan of the international con ference may eventually accomplish the object of closing old contracts A recent level of prices also has been encour- aged by a steadier tone in the southern spot situation and more favorable view of the European situation.
 No material change has been noted in the spot situation. There has been some little business for export to neutral countries and Canadian trade, but do- mestic mills are still said to be holding off in most cases or buying only for irn- mediate needs in the expectation of lower prices as the picking season advances and the general demand is evidently Tar from normal.
 As indicated by the continued light movement and the small amount of cotton ginned prior to September l, however, southern offerings have been limited. The price of spot cotton in the Augusta mar ket has advanced from 71z to "A cents for middling cotton during the week. anu 1t is reported that offerings to New Eng land spinners from the southwest have shown a similar or even greater improve ment.
 The weather has remained generahy clear and seasonable in the south, ana there has been little or no change In adyices as to the probable result of the crop.

WHEAT PR|CESFA|L ID OMA|NTA|N RALLY
Close Nervous At Same As Thursday to 3-4c Down.
 Oats IA to 5-8c Up

Chicago, September 1i.-Wheat prices today failed to maintain q rally which started after the market had fallen to level 12 cents a bushle under the point of last Saturday. The close was nervous at the same as last night to s4 down. Corn finished shade to he >&s oats with gain of ii to $ q a4c, and provisions varying from 10 cents decline to an advance of $1.10
 Bearish Liverpool advices to the eff feet that supplies of wheat there filled all available storage and room and re ports that the French demand was at an end caused sthe early decline. Fall ing off of country offerings of wheat and export sales of S50,000 bushels and lake characters for 600,000 bushels later helped to cause a material upturn In the end. all gains had been wiped out and for the deferred deliveries E to s4 c besides
 Corn, like wheat felt the effect of c smash in prices at Liverpool. Wet cold weather in the domestic belt, how over, proved nearly an offset later. Oats sagged with other grain at the start, but subsequently, bulged. Reports of foreign governments buying 1,0oo,00v bushels or more in the last two days Provisions were unsettled. One factcr was a lack of southern demand for meats.

MAY YELECTPALMER
 IN PENNSYLVANIA
Democrats and Progressive Combining in Effort to
 Defeat Penr0se

Washington. September 1i.-(Speciai) Following the withdrawal of Dean Wii- liam Draper Lewis as progressive eandl- date for goyernor of Pennsylvania. pro- gresslve leaders of that state today pre- dictcd the election of Representative d. Mitchell Palmer. democrat. as United states senator. in place of Boise Penrose. republican. The withdrawal of Dean Lewis which took place Wednesday. was predicted exclusively in The Age-Herald last week.
 At the conference of democratic and progressive leaders at which the with drawa of Lewis and of the democratic candidates for lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs was ar- ranged, the elimination of either Palmer or Clifford pinehot, progressive candidate for senator, was discussed. No agreement was reached. however, and that proposi- tion went over for a period
 Since then the democrats and progress sives have decided that the retention Of both Palmer and Pinchot in the raoe will do more to accomplish the defeat of Penrose than the withdrawal of either: so both will stick Palmer, it Is argued, will poll the full democratic vote of the state, while Pinchot is expected not only to keep all the progressives in line for their party. but also to attract practically the entire anti -Penrose republican vote.
 Pinchot is making a direct and strong appeal to the republicans, describing him- self as a republican, though of the pro efessive type, and Is doing all in his power to convince republican voters that they may cast their ballots for him with out disloyalty to their own party
 While it is understood that Pfnchot himself believes he has a capital chance of election this view is not shared by other leading progressives who figure that Palmer, with an undivided vote. will finish first in the triangular contest. At this. however, the progressives will not grumhle. Anything to beat Penrose," is their cry. If Palmer can do it, well and good: if Pinchot does it. so much the better in their minds.
 But it will be a disastrous fight for at least four of the six progressive represen- tatiNes from Pennsylvania. Walters and Rupley, candidates at large. are expect ed to give place to democrats and Of the remaining four only Kelly and Temple are regarded as probable winners in their fights for reelection. kely's name will appear on the ballots of 10 out of II parties.
 The withdrawal of the democratic candi- dates for lieutenant governor and sec retary of internal affairs Is expected in the immediate future. and the democrats will be expected to vote for the progress sive candidates, just as the progressives are counted on to vote for Vance McCor- mick the democratic candidate for gove ernor

FARMER FINED FOR
 A NOVEL DEFENSE

The unexpected always happens, of course. but tho public is hardly prepared for the unprecedented spectacle of far mer being fined because he refused to per- init motorist to pass him, says the Kansas City Journal. The central figure in this sensational novelty was an agrl- culturist near Columbia, who was driv- ing an empty wagon along the road. and
 although an eager autoist behind hira pleaded for him to turn out far enough to allow the car to pass, the obstinate son of the soil turned a deaf car to the ap- peals. Even after the motorist had climbed into the wagon and shouted his view of the situation into the farmers s ear, thereby destroying the alibi which is always offered under such circum- stances, no relief was forthcoming Ar rest, conviction, fine. and pres, unable payment followed in bewildering success sion.
 Times have surely changed when the motorist can find himself on the long end of the score in the game of the road 1t seems only yesterday when the favorite pastime of the rural pleasure seeker was to pot the men who were fortunate enough to own automobiles. There was always an 'open season. on motorists in the good old days when the devil wagons strewed pigs, chickens, dogs and other live stock in their wake; when the hand or the motorist was against every man and every mans hand was against him in the country. When the era of the six shooter or shotgun gave way to the country justice of the peace. the entry op- posite the name of the man with the au- tomohile was usually guilty" The idea that anybody but an automobile driver is ever In the wrong belongs to the newer day when justice has taken off her ban dage and looks out upon the world with kindlier eye. But verify tho motorists s
 millennium Is at hand when the hand that guides the plough is forced to dig dowi, into the agricultural jeans and pay a fine for not getting out Of the way of a motor car on a country road

Bruins Shoulder Bones

was long curious to know" said a Pike county, Pa. bear expert. quoted Tn the New York Sun why 1t was that the bear has that peculiarly clumsy and apparently painful gait, but l never found anyone who could give mo A sat - isfactory explanation of it. so I went out and killed a bear to find out for myself The reason was a very simple one.
 T found. in the first place, that the bear has no clavicles in the shoulder to Keep the shoulder bones steadily apart. as is usual in animals. and consequently when the bear moves his forelegs the shoulder blades work or slide loosely on the sides
 Then. again, the bear has the ankle joints Of his hind legs plumb on the ground, or rather as parts of the hind feet. That peculiar structure gives the first joint of the hind legs a bend in the opposite direction from that which 1t has in the legs of other animals.
 This loose and queer rigging of the joints of the legs and shoulders of the bear gives him that odd wabble or shuffle with which he makes his way along. although. clumsy and retarding as that gait appears. 1t can produce q speed and agility on occasion that Is surprising. The broad base which tho foot of the bear forms, moreover. gives the animal steady and secure footing, no matter what the appearance may be to the contrary.
 "The unique position of the hind ankle joints AS to the formation of the hind feet is what enables the bear to rise to his feet with such facility, and to maintain a secure position standing erect while he uses his forepaws in grasping or striking with his well known readiness and effectiveness.
 "The absence of clavic1es in the shoul- ders is what gives the bear the great hugging or compressing power fin his forelegs which Is of the greatest serv- ice to him in climbing and in dealing with his foes In fact. if he had the shoulder formation characteristic oi other animals he could not climb a tree at all for he could not accomplish 1t by his claws as the cat and squirrel and raccoon and other animals of arboreai habit do nor would the bear dog need to stand in fear of that terrible embrace of his."

MIMICRY EARNED
 JESTER VACATION

The court jester of Czar Nicholas I, who was q skillful mimic, once decided that he would like vacation and some money to spend. says the BibliathelS der Uuterhaltung und des wissens So he marshal of the palace to talk over the matter While he was waiting in the anteroom the Czar entered.
 What are you doing her. Martinow.'' inquired Nicholas.
 T came her to ask the marshal for a leave of absence.
 Come along with me and and will present your case for you"
 So the Czar. in company with the jes- ter entered the marshals office and said to him, T have request to make in behalf of my friend here. but''-and he turned to Martinow-"first you must make some fun for us.''
 Martinow was embarrassed. I'm afraid can't do 1t, your majesty. I haven't anything here to work with.''
 Here, take my helmet."
 Martinow put it on his head, threw out his chest and, assuming a naughty air. addressed the marshal in a tone exactly like that of the Czar: Sir. how well are you satisfied with our poster. Martlnow?''
 Without waiting for the answer he took off the helmet and. assuming the bear Ing of the marshal, he answered in the latters tone of voice, Very we'll sats- fled. indeed. your majesty He then replaced the helmet on his head and said, initiating the Czar "If you, sir. are satisfied with the jester. then we shall let him have thousand rubIes and three months leave of ab- sence."
 Then, in the voice of the marshal. he said. Tt shall be done as you wish, your majesty; it shall be donet' The Czar laughed uproariousy at this clever bit of dialogue and said graciously "Snce Martinow has ordered 1t in the name of the Czar. we must grant 1t. All right, Martinow. take care of yourself and good luck to you.'
