BY c. T. scHERMERHoRN.

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO,
June 9.--Noah Webster, publisher OF
dictionaries. made an awful mess
OF the word convention" He de-
cided 1t was a noun, and then died,
leaving il to us a noun, when 1t Is
no such thing.
The word convention. in It's full
Coliseum meaning, is a verb, full of
action, and means ito get" II
means first, TO the friend from your
own home town, ITO get" pass, ito
get" in. II means to the delegates
TO get up" "to get" the chairman's
eye, and Ito get" the floor.
All the newspaper men here want
this convention "to get" through.
The purpose OF the candidate is "to
get" the other fellow. Convention,
in a Chicago sense, means for a
very few men, Ito get" off TO one
side to name the nominee. while the
delegates go through the motions

Circus Pachyderns' Feet Extremely Tender at Times

Manicuring an elephant doesn't sound like an especially useful or inn pOrtant occupation for a full-grown man, but there are two men with the Barnum (; Bailey circus. coming here on October that are employed for no other purpose but to care for the feet of the il elephants and q few other animals in the big menagerie.
 Every elephant in the Barnum & Bailey herd from old Babe" who claims to have lived 100 years, to little Sammy" who beasts of only five birthdays. must submi, to d thorough manicurinG every day while the circus is on the road. This pre- vents any of the animals from becom- ing lame as would be the case if proper attention were not given to tho feet. as this is the tenderest part of an elephants anatomy.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept 14.-Sudden weak ness seized the wheat market late to- day after an early display of strength. The downturn, which in some cases amounted to cents a bushel as com pared with top prices of the day, was accompanied by assertions that Argen- tine wheat was being offered cheaper in the United States than domestic wheat. and by unconfirmed rumors that Sweden had decided to go to war, pre- sumably against Great Britain. Some thing of a recovery ensued, but prices closed weak, 1% to 2K cents net lower. with December at $1.4Sb to $149A and May at Sl.49 to $1.491k. Corn lost A to F and oats # to X cents. In pro- visions the outcome ranged from 5 cents decline to rise of 32 cents.
 Extreme gains of , to 5h cents a bushel from the top prices of the day in wheat were brief, but nevertheless lasting long enough to enforce the sac rifice of many Unprotected holdings.
 Previous to a late setback in wheat prices, the market had been tending upward the greater part of the day. influenced by announcements that the Greek government had purchased in the United States 100000 bushels of wheat and 60,000 barrels of flour. 1. Corn fell when wheat turned weak. Oats swayed with corn and wheat

QUALITY VERSUS QUANTITY

Many housewives make a vital mis- take in choosing some of their food stuffs on the basis of quantity.
 Ii has been proven time and again that the cheapest is always the most expensive, while the highest price is not always the best.
 There's happy medium in every thing. When you select foods, be careful. Don't choose any particular brand of, say Baking Powder for ex- ample, just because you get big can for a small price.
 The risk you take in running your entire baking and losing the cost of the materials involved is not any where equal to the small amount saved on the price of the Baking Powder.
 Then again because the price is high, don't think the quality Is the best Some women do, and they arc losing money.
 Look for the hapny medium. You'll find it. Choose a brand that costs q moderate price and von'll find l. moro economical to buy and more economi- cal to use.

hunting big game. It is not the work for q nervous person. Animals prefer to keep clean in their own way and even a sedate old elephant resents the artificial cleansing processes of civi- liz2tion occasionally.
 There are frequently some exciting moments during the hours when the manicuring parlor is being operated, which is generally in the late after noon. between the afternoon and even ing shows when there is not a crowd of spectators around. Occasionally an elephant will become so obstreperous that 1t will require several men 70 hold him while his feet are being cared for.
