IMPROVES CORN
Market Firn,er Despite Fact
Receipts Were Heaviest
of All Season.
BEARS APPEAR AFRAID
Brisk Demand From Dealers
Lifts Oats After First
Showing Decline.

Chicago, Feb. 13.--Impfovement in
the railroad situation east of Chicago,
gave strength to the corn market to-
day despite the fact receipts here were
the heaviest OF the season. Prices
closed firm, A@A to iaMs cent net
higher, with March, $l.27ss and May,
n.25fs 1.25&. Oats gained % to IA
cent and provisions Is to So.
Although the liberal arrivals made
the corn market sag at the outset,
bears appeared to be afraid to press
the selling. Offerings We're absorbed
SO readily that ii was evident a quici;
outlet was being relied upon for'any
surplus stock.
Bulls Active.
In this connection. the fact was
pointed out that all but four roads to
the east from Chicago were now ac-
cepting freight without limit. A
further bullish influence was the cir
cumstance that a resolution introduced
in the senate favored an increase of
the government guaranteed price Of
wheat. All cereals, it was argued,
would be indirectly helped in value by
the proposed increase Which was spon-
sored by the chairman of the agricul-
tural committee and would amount to
80 cents a bushel on wheat.
Oats Advance.
Brisk demand from the shippers
lifted the oats market after initial de-
clines. Sellers were scarce, owing
largely TO assertions that carriers
would discriminate against oats and
would handle as long as great quanti-
ties of corn which stood in danger of
spelling.
Provisions advanced on account of
reports that further government con-
tracts would be placed in March.

II HERE was an awkward silence
after John Butler had made
his remark. Elizabeth felt
she must speak.
II was just talking to poor

front porch. "He has looked queerer

Douglas was engaged to Alice But

if we had found lot of gold pres

cialIy II that stranger were N our
garden and the gold presents were
marked with the crest of the family

We'll. anyway. the gold-laced
steward picked up the basket and
said:
Hush up with your silly tale.
DO you think aHy body will believe
that Then he searched Puss and
took away his bag Of gold pieces
and the letter marked "Private,"
and then shut him up in cell.
But when Inc Baron came home
he said to his steward, Let me see
this cat who wears red-top boots.
So they brought Puss to him. and
as soon as the Baron heard what
Puss had to say, he believed him,
and was very happy TO think that
the strange, sad man had repented
of his bad deeds. And the Baron
told Puss that when Christmas came
around he would have the lr tree
brought in and covered with the
presents and many candles
And then. all OF a sudden, Puss
thought about the letter marked

And after that the kind baron gave
orders that a messenger should take
the letter to the Great Governor
Jorishdo and invited Puss TO spend
the night in the castle.
And that night, when Puss was
sound asleep, he heard a gentle
tapping at his window. And when
he opened it a raven hoped into
the room and said:
Il have come from thu fr tree on
the mountain side. Here is q cone
il bade me bring to you.' And
then the raven few away. And
when Puss looked carefully at the
cone he saw II was fitted with a
top. So he opened it and inside was
a little gold ring wrapped i'm a
piece OF paper. on which was writ

journey. The baron and his wife
will have their Christmas tree
with all the golden presents, and
the fir tree will have its wish. and

Puss turned over and went to
sleep. and in the morning he set
out once more in search of new
adventures.
And by and by he came TO q
village where there lived a man
and his wife who had a very beau
tiful daughter. But. oh dear me.
She was so vain and proud of her

help her parents, but sat all day

PRISONERS PAY

War prisoners nowadays are sup
posed to be paid wages, which is fair
enough, seeing that they are general
ly forced to work for their captors.
Germany and the United States are
now engaged in controversy as to
how much their respective prisoners
shall receive.
Germany proposes to pay her Amer
lean prisoners the same wages she
pays her own soldiers. That in itself
might seem fair enough. But Germany
also demands that we pay our German
prisoners the same wages we pay our
own soldiers. And inasmuch as our
private soldiers get about dollar a
day while Germany's get ten cents a
day, the one-sidednesS of Germany's
proposal is obvious.
If accepted. it would mean that our
men when captured and put to work
