Prof Max Muller, one Of the great
est English authorities on language
study, says: "A well-edncated per-
son in England, who has bsen at pub
lie school and at the university, who
reads Shakespeare, the Times and all
the books of Nudes library, seldom
uses more than about 5000 or 1000
words in actual conversation. Accur-
ate thinkers and close reasoners who
avoid vague and general expressions
and wait until they find the word that
exactly fits their meaning. employ q
larger stock; and eloquent speakers
may rise to command of 10000. The
Hebrew testament says all 1t has to
say in 5,642 words, Milton's works
are built up with 5000 words; and
Shakespeare, who probably displayed
a greater variety Of expression than
any writer in any language, produced
all his plays with about fifteen thou
sand words"

ing 1915 and 1915 will foot up not less
than $4,000, 100000. Then the Morgan
firm has received a banking commits
sion on all loans placed for foreign
governments These loans now aggre-
gate $1,500,000,000. Then there has
been commissions for the Morgan firm
in selling for the British government
the hundreds and hundreds of millions
Of the foreign owned American securi-
ties. Then there has been commits
sons and interest on call loans and in
terest and commissions for stabilizing
exchange; that is, for buying when
sterling was down and selling when
the movement was upward.
In brief at the most conservative es-
innate heard this week, the present J.
P. Morgan has, within the past two
short years, already more than doub-
led his own personal fortune, basing
the figures on the $53,6S4,000 which
was left to him by his father. No one
has ever made money like that in this
or any other country.
That the unprecedented prosperity
now being enjoyed by the country is
no longer dependent upon war orders
has been pointed out time and time
again by such authorities as E. HI.
Gary, chairman of the United States
Steel corporation; Howard Elliott,
president Of the New Haven; r. S.
Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific.
Nevertheless, Wall street does not
seem able to forget how, back in the
early spring of 1915, the war orders
placed by the allies raised this country
industrially from the slough of de-
spond," starting bull stock market
such as had never before been wit
messed.
Orders running into hundreds of mil
lions came pouring in for automobiles,
harness, medical supplies. mules.
horses, powder. copper, rifles, large
and small guns, boats, raw and finish
ed steel.
So far the new orders just placed
have totaled s9O,O00.000. Last week S
estimates place the new buying move
ment at $35O,00O.00o.

Tho Comma Time.

They are twenty times as loving as they
ever used to be.
They come to me with their kisses. and
their arms held out to me.
AS they used to come with blossoms
they had plucked to make
crown;
And they'd make me take my hat off,
and they'd keep me bending down
While they crowned me with the bios
SONS, purple clover. roses red
How they used to love to gather them
to put upon my head!
And may have had notion that they
.. looked ridiculous.
But twas love that plucked and wreath
ed them. and loves good enough
for us.
They come to me with their kisses just
the way they used to do.
And they pluck the fairest bl :5soms,
blossoms red and blossoms blue.
But they do not crown me with them as
they did in days of yore,
They will weave a. crown of blossoms
for my wearing nevermore,
But they pin them on my coat and they
reach up for a kiss.
And there's nothing in the past that's
equal to the present bliss;
But 1 wish had to stoop more for the
kisses than do;
They have both grown so much taller
than the little girls knew.
They have both grown so much taller
than the girls that used to be.
Than the girls that used to Chamber at
the nightfall to my knee;
And the way they's grown up makes
me catch my breath and look
away
To what's waiting in the future, from
what gladdens the today,
To the day they'll go in loving out away
from the home street,
Hand in hand with other loved ones to
a world grown more than sweet
Where birds sing and flowers blossom
and life seems set to a rhyme
From then to the roads IA. ending life
will seem lonesome time.

Of the prognosticator, but advices thus

a shorter supply of range stock for

and factor of strength that must be
taken into the reckoning is the devel-

fat lambs This had not been of large

o,des. Weather Reports.

The oldest weather diary known to
be in existence was kept by Lincoln,
shire (Eng.) parson. William Merle,
close on coo years ago. From 1887 to
1874 he wrote it up, often day BY day,
in Latin, and his manuscript being on
vellum, was somehow preserved and is
now In the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey Influences" but stuck to
an accurate record Of fact, In the spirit
at least of the modern meteorologfsts.
And from his jottings it seems that he
had pretty much the same kind OF
weather to deal with as folks In hia
parish Of Frilby experience now. Con-
trary to theory. the changes Of six CEN
turtles have not reduced the number Of
wet days in the year.

Ing in wheat encouraged locals to oper-

ket was under pressure during the

Rda Canadians are vigorously deny
hing severe damage, but those who have
hseen the crop believe that by harvest
time as much deterioration will show
There as in our own northwest. Irregu-
harly higher prices may therefore be ex-
pected.
Corn-Damage to corn in the south
west is confirmed by the most reliable
igources Of information. A few scat
eered rains over Kansas encouraged
kselling today on a good bulge over Sat

twere a little lower than at the end Of
Hast week. There was a rumor that a
small lot had been sold for export on
