A male and female tick Matched
in April may by October 18th give rise
to 6,750,O00,O0O descendants, about
half of which, being females, will lay
about 1900 more eggs apiece immeal-
ately or the following spring. Take tho
cattleman's point of view: thorough
ly, although not exceptionally, infested
COW may carry several hundred thous-
and ticks at one time, and, during the
season, may be infested by four such
broods. Now 1.500 ticks, after having
engorged themselves for three or four
days, will weigh about pound, this
representing almost entirely the
weight of the blood taken from the
host. Thus the helpless beast may
actually lose from 200 to 500 pounds
of blood in single season. Little
wonder that thousands of Southern
calves never reach maturity; that tho
pitiful spectacle Of valuable dairy or
beef animal actually starving to death
in the midst of rich, nutritious pasture
is not nightmare but terribly fro
quent reality.-The Worlds Work.

Boat We'll Equipped.
San Francisco, Cal, May AT the
passenger Office OF the Pacific Mail
Steamship Co., it was said there was
no record of Mrs. John B. Bentiers,
wife of the British consul at Manila,
mentioned in Toxic dispatches as hay
ing been aboard the Siberia.
1t was stated here today that the
Siberia, in accordance with govern
ment regulations, was fully equipped
with life boats and RATS to accOmmo-
date all passengers
The vessel like all other oriental
liners of the Pacific Mail Co., Is man.
nef by Chinese crew. All Of the Of
ficers however are white. Captain
Feeder is a veteran in the oriental
service
Harrison is Notified.
Manila, p. l., May 1.-The fact that
the Siberia, on which his wife is q
passenger was in distress in latitude
22.4O north, longitude 121.10 east. was
cabled to Gov. General Francis Burton
Harrison by Geo. w. Guthrie. the
American ambassador to Japan. He
reported the Japanese authorities had
sent the cruisers Kanto Maru and
Tento Maru from Formosa, and that
the British cruiser Minotaur also had
gone to the Siberia's relief. The gov
ernor at once notified the naval auth
critics and they began preparations to
dispatch vessels to the relief Of the
striker liner.
The wireless station on Corregidor
island, in the entrance to Manila bay,
picked up snatches of conversation
between the Siberia and the Pacific
mail liner Persia which left Manila
Thursday afternoon for Nagasah. The
operator was unable, however, to de-
cipher what was passing between the
vessels. The agents of the Pacific
Mail Co., here have ordered the Persia
to proceed t0the assistance OF the
Siberia.

Chicago Market Notes

Developments in the wheat situation
were more healthy yesterday. Shipping
houses sold 100000 bu new hard winter
for early August export, making 900,-
900 bu the past two days. Export sales
of old and new wheat the past two
days aggregate over 100000 bu, in
Guiding wheat in all positions, and
10000 bu Manitobas. Much Of the
wheat sold for export from the new
crop has been hedged by purchases Of
distant deliveries, mainly September.
Receipts for practically all the stock OF
No. red wheat here, 318,0OO blu, has
been Cancelled, and shipping directions
are understood to have been given. 1t
is going all rail, and 1t would not sur
prise the trade to see much Of it show
up at Baltimore. Good shipments by
lake are also expected. Baltimore is
also buying old hard for prompt ship
nent. Foreigners have been buying
July wheat here for several weeks and
large sales were made by foreign longs
at Winnipeg yesterday. Prices touched
new low levels for distant deliveries
Yesterday, and some of the sharp trad
ers were disposed to believe that even
with the present brilliant crop pros
poets, current values for September
discount about all the bearishness for
the present.
It was the opinion of most corn
traders last night that the action Of the
market today will depend largely upon
the way deliveries are cared for. Should
the cash corn go into weak hands
lower prices are expected. In case it
goes to shipping houses they look for
q rally. May liquidation has been
heavy Of late. and few commission

Practically all the contract wheat IN
public elevators Is owned or controlled

HAD OLD LADY'S GRATITUDE
Stories Boy Had Absorbed May Have
Been Inventions, but She Was
Satisfied.

1t was on a Wade Park car, on the
line of 40 angles, and it happened but
a day Or two ago..
A boy Of perhaps fourteen suddenly
arose from his seat and gave 1t to a
stout lady. The stout lady looked up
at him.
You're a polite lad" she said. Few
boys nowadays would do the like"
Il guess you didn't read yesterdays
paper said the boy. There's a story
about a boy who gave up his seat in a
street car to a lady, and when she died
last week she left him $1,000"
Il didn't see it." said the lady.
Maybe you saw the n about the
boy who carried the old woman's bias
ket and she gave him a brick house
and a moving picture theater?"
No." said the lady; 4 didn't see
that II either"
There was another one the lad
went ON, about the boy who had a
lower berth in tn sleepin' car an gave
it to a sick lady an she left him all
her fortune. | don't know how much
1t was, but it must have been an awful
lot. You see how it is--you can't ar

Tie lady solemnly nodded her head.

millinery FOR MEN

The natives there are extremely
vain, and since hats form the chief
article Of their attire, they display
great ingenuity in adjoining them. II
the results are not strictly beautiful,
they are at least striking.
Some Of the headdresses are MADE
out of gazelle skins and trimmed with
hawks feathers, others encircle the
face something after the style of z
nuns headdress, but perhaps the one
with the long, upright feather most
nearly resembles the millinery Of the

But whereas in England it Is the
women who spend feverish hours and
enormous sums of money in the desire
to obtain something really chic, in
British East Africa it is the men who
take SO much pains over their person

themselves, the women are actually
compelled to make themselves as I'm
attractive as possible.

NOTHING TO BOTHER WITH

Booker T. Washington told at Tus-

"Old Uncle Cal Clay" he said, "in-
vited the parson to eat Christmas din

and the spread was magnificent
sweet potatoes and celery, cranberries
and mince pie, plum pudding, and a
turkey SO big and yet so tender that
the parson had never seen the like
before.
"'Uncle CAL the parson said, as he
spread the pink cranberry sauce on a
