Bears Run Corn.

Chicago, Aug. 3l.--A, bullish crop report by the expert of a big broker age house injected a bit of variety to the days news as affecting the corn market today, and while It boosted the price fer a brief period, it was inadequate to stem the tide Of bearish- ness and the bulk of the moderate business was done at prices under yesterdays close.
 The net loss for the day was 34 cents with October closing at $1 ,55 1-2.
 Oats were firm early with corn but declined later on a private esti- mate that that present indicates 72,- OOO,OOO bustels in excess of the gov ernment's August calculations.

ROSE CLIMBS THREE STORIES
lvy-covered Wall of University of Washington.

They are college-bred roses and their high education seems to have had very elevating effect on their aspira- fions. Students on the UniveI sity of Washington campus recently noticed on an ivy-covered wall of Denny hall, way up on a level with the third floor windows, a spray of coppery roses, the Seattle Post-1ntelligencer says. The hranch which bears them reaches out from the heavy ivy vines and is the only sign of a rosebush in the neigh borhood.
 Some curiosity was aroused as to whether the flower was grafted on the ivy or whether 1t was rooted in the wall. Neither supposition was found to be correct. A number of years ago the rose blossomed modestly near the ground. Then either the crowding of the ivy or the lofty ambitions inspired by the intellectual surroundings forced it to shoot up so that it could extend its blossoms to the sun just outside of the windows used by the public-speaklng and Spanish depart ments.
 Its long, branchless stem Is covered by the ivy and its top flourishes in the soft and musical sounds from the Spanish room and the forceful oratory from the public speakers.

German General Staff,

The German general staff Is not the creation of the kaiser. It is the cre- ation of the army, and in Germany the army is the nation. In the old days, when the principality of Bran denburg was becoming the state of Prussia, 1t was the elector who gov erned with unchecked, autOcratic au- thority. Even when Brandenburg had become Prussia the kings of Prussia dominated and owned the country as completely as the head of the house dominated the family, or the manu. facturer owned his business. The cab. inet of the great elector, the tobacco parliament of Frederick William, the Potsdam library of Frederick the Great, these have merged into the of fees of the general staff. in which Is cOnsecrated the surrender of the state to the army, and of the army to the army chiefs.

A military man can immediately tell to what division a soldier belongs by glancing at the cord on his hat, but to the average citizen the color of the hat cord denotes little or nothing:

"NO SHADOW ON HER FACE"
Writer Tells of English Woman Who Has Given All She Had to
 tho Country.

We English do not read our casu- alty lists any more. Many of us dare not. When we meet, we do not even speak of those who have gone away. A very touching thing was told me by one of my neighbors. He was the last of twenty-four officers in one of the Gordon regiments. He said that the places were just filled up as soon as they were emptied, and they never spoke of those who had fallen. That brings the reality of the thing to you.
 In my own little country-Scotlaud you will find many, many villages from which the Highland regiments have been recruited. There are DO boys left to come back. They are all dead.
 Not many weeks before came to this country I was up in the Gordon country, and on a Sunday night was speaking in church on the spiritual side of the war. At the close wom- an came to me, little, simple, coun- try woman, dressed in the uniform ot the Gordon Highlanders, holding 8 yellow missive, which I, alas, knew too we'll. 1.-The war office department re- grets to inform that - was killed in action" She laid this little missive beside one of the DOT. traits, and said, '"That came yesterday. That's Jimmie. He's the last of tho three" q hear you are going to Amer ica. Will you tell American mothers have given all my lads? had only three and would give six, if had them, for the same cause" Another friend of mine has given all her i've sons. She is widow and she has none left; but she is working in one of the canteens with no shadow on her face.-Mrs. A. Busnett-Smith in the Atlantic Monthly.
