OUR MAIDENS

Consider the maiden, Lo, though
the winds blow and chilleth, she wear
eth upon her feet sandals that are low
and hose that are silk And the neck OF
her gown existeth not. Yet she swear
eth that she is as warm as toast. She
goeth forth into the highways and she
carrieth party box, and therein are
many strange things wherewith to
calsimine her countenance. Puffs there
are and the skin of the chamois and
many pigments, white as the lilies OF
Hebron and red as the evening skies
over Jordan. She maketh up where
she lsteth and careth not who observ-
eth, and though hor lips become as
pomegranates, yet she denieth that
there is any color in the stuff. With
gaze of reproof she telleth thee that il
is as camphor ice and that it tinteth
not. And, Behold! She putteth it over
upon thee. She goeth forth at night
and she tangoeth until the dawn is on
the mountains and the morning breeze
stirs the cedars, and she is not BIT
tired. But when her mother beggeth
her to 90 up unto the market place for
a cubit of calico, Lo! she withered upon
the vine. Wondrous are the ways OF a
maiden.-Eagle, White Cloud, Mich.

To Cure Warts.

Warts are peculiar growth in the
skin layers about which no one seems
to know anything. II has lately been
claimed that warts neglected may lead
to malignant growths but this has not
been sustained.
Treatment.-Oneo of the best ways to
get rid of warts is with the following
formula: Salicylic acid, 2 grains; chry-
sarobin, grains; ichthyol, grains
wool-fat, 35 grains; petrolatum, s.
grains. Apply on wart with toothpick
twice day and keep bandaged.

Chicago, Dec 29.-Horse market was

any demand for offerings. A few spec

gains, but very few of the regular
buyers were working Eastern orders
have been small for the past ten days.
but are expected to improve after the
new year. At present the market IS
in the usual rut for this season. It is
cleanup week on the line. Tho receipts
are small, there have been enough
horses to meet the demand.
Army grade arrivals have been very
light during the first two days of the
week, and on that account inspectors
have had little to do in the way Of
looking over horses. They shipped
large number from here Monday. being
some that had been on hand for some

Daily Grain Letter.

From Lamson Bros wire, Masonic
Temple Phone 1881
Chicago, Dec. 29.-Wheat - A very
bullish resume of the spring wheat sit
uation was issued by a Minneapolis
commission house, which was liberal
enough TO estimate the crop or Mon
tana. the Dakotas and Minnesito at
575,000,000 bushels. This report shows
actual consumption Of spring wheat in
four months 100000 bushels and.
after reserving 25,00o,o00 for seed,
leaves only 15S.o00. 900 bushels availa-
BILE for the next eight months.
Corn-Except for a. little temporary
strength early, corn dragged lower
with wheat, with a very indtfferen:
cash demand ana a low quality in the
current receipts. The recent advance
pretty we'll cleared the market OF
shorts and probably brought good
deal over-enthusiastic buying. Altho
the car situation still forbids any
heavy run OF receipts. there is expected
to be a gradual increase during the
coming months when the movement OF
merchandise will not be SO heavy and a
large run as soon as the necessary cars
are available.
Oats-Without especial individuality;
oats followed other grains. but showed
no decided weakness. Current receipts
are moderate and recent sales to the
east makes fair demand for the ar
rivals. ~ ~ AA

value today. Influenced by lower quo
tations from Liverpool. Besides mar
vesting in Argentina was said to be
turning out better than expected ana
large yield in Australia was said
to be assured. On the other nano, the

Of grain to Philadelphia tended to give

Oats.
Oats were governed by corn. Com

Failing off in the amount OF slaugh-

was but little pressure to sell.
The gains disappeared later, receipts
