condition to a greater extent than
other issues, but industrials. shippings
and metals also were affected. Gross

Trading was light and narrow, early
gains being limited to equipments. the
tobaccos and a few specialties. An

Prospects of larger receipts of corn
next week obtained immediate notice
and there was further help for the
bears in the prevailing cold weather
and sunshine. Moreover. signs pointed
to a better quality of arrivals than
has recently been the rule. Reports

liveries of oats had assumed liberal
proportions brought about bulge that

levels in response to evidence of fresh

ADAM SPRUNG FIRST JOKE
Asked Eve II She Expected an Ich,
thyosaurus, When She Objected
to Spider on Rose.

We believe that in the Garden OF
Eden Adam gave Eve n rose in ex-
change for kiss. And she shuddered
and said, "Ugh There's n spider on
the rose!" And he answered, well,
what do you expect for one stingy lit
tie Nissan ichthyosaurus?"
We believe that to be the oldest joke
In the world-older than the goat, the
mother-in-law, or any that are sup
posed to be included In the Original
Seven. In varying forms one finds it
In the Talmud, in Plautus, in Aesop,
In Rabelais, in Joe Miller, in all the
almanacs and comic papers.
When we were boy, it was told I'm

suit of clothes ut a secondhand store.
He comes back and complains that the

And the dealer says, "Well, what do
you expect for Swimming birds?'

Tenant-"Look here, you'll have to
