THE CRACK RUNNER.

copyright by w. G. Chapman.)
Just one accomplishment Boy Vas
tine brought with him when he start
ed a postgraduate course at Lynd-
hurst college-this comprised being
able to run faster and leap farther
than any man in the institution. His
record past and present was that of
"a crack sprinter."
Roy had demonstrated and made
good, and it placed him in a certain
expert class. He was frank, credu-
lous young fellow, however, and his
previous educational training had
been Of the home class. His uncle
was retired university professor and
had taken pride in storing his mind
with a store of profound knowledge,
classic and erudite, and had now sent
him off to put upon it a modern gloss.
One thing the worthy relative had
added, was a thorough course of
training in athletic exercise. Hence,
the robust health of the new student,
and hence also the readiness with
which he was accepted in his mex
perience by the college wolves as a
veritable lamb for the slaughter.
They proceeded to play the usual
amount of college hazing tricks upon
him. Roy took it all in a good-na-
tured way. Usually he turned the
tables on them and their schemes
into ridicule. For instance, they lured
him to hire horse and wagon, alleg-
ing that they knew a secluded or
chard where there could be no Wis
itors after midnight, and where they
could get enough luscious apples to
last the fraternity for a whole term.
They inveigled their ready victim"
into driving in the dark into the mid
die of a big swamp. There Roy was
to wait until he got the signal"
They went home chuckling over the

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Sept. 5.-WHEAT-Evidence
that yesterdays late depression in the
wheat market was without adequate reason
led today to a rally. The various rumors
which had disturbed holders were found
to have little or no basis, and it was au-
thoritatively announced that no Argentine
wheat had been purchased to come to the
United States. Confidence on the part of
buyers, however. was far from being fully
restored, and support soon gave out. Open
ing prices which ranged from 1ac off to
1ssc up, with December at $1.49 to 81 49K
and May at $1.49 to 81 495s, were followed
by moderate general advance and then
decided reaction.
Subsequently, bearsh sentiment became
more pronounced o,fing to the fact that
recent purchases for the Greek government
turned out to be only half large as
had been reported. Drouth advices from
Argentine later though caused a rally. and
there were signs of a better export call
The close was unsettled, Hc to 1Ac net
and May at $3.50.
CORN-Fulfillment of frost predictions
carried corn prices up grade Liberal
profit taking though ensued. and the mar
ket eased off. After opening sc to 13sc
higher, values receded to some extent but
continued to show considerable strength.
Forecasts of additional frosts tonight
tended to bring about a new upturn in
prices. The close was strong at 1Ic to 1a4c
net advance.
OATS-Oats paralleled the action of
corn Trade was not heavy.
PROVISIONS-Higher quotations on
hogs gave strength to provisions. Lard
led the advance.

That was the Fairbanks way of say
ing it. Then when he stepped right
up to the place where the moose was
to be placed around the neck of the
condemned Democratic party, he
would declare:
prosperity didn't come because of
the Democratic party. it came in
spite of it. But remember that
mistakes of the ballot box are expen-
sive. None of us escape. Don't listen
to a party that talks economy when

Campaign Gospels
1t didn't sound quite that harsh
when Fairbanks said it. He smiled
out of the corner of a quite warm and
friendly eye. But it was good cam
paign gospel and the vice presidential
candidate left an impression that he
had really worked on positive, defin-
lite program. Fairbanks political
speeches thru the state were well at

his own private car and with oppor-
tunities for rest between talks, he en-
tered into the fight in Kansas with
little evidence of his serious attack

While Fairbanks was not accorded
the crowds that greeted Charles E.
Hughes during his recent trip thru
Kansas, it is probable that the Fair
banks talks were the more effective.
He has visited the state on various
occasions and being more nearly n
western man than Hughes, has pos
sibly a better insight of the Kansas
way of doing things. Except for the
absence of a real kick in his talks,
Fairbanks offered a program in Kan
sas that was well accepted by the vot-
ers. The Fairbanks indictment of the
Democrats was more definite than the
Hughes statements and he displayed
more ability in getting to the voters.
The Baker university speech was
listed as non-partisan. Fairbanks
merely talked to the rah rah boys and
residents of the town. But when the
