Advice to Girls,

Little girl, the best thing for you to do is to get the idea out of your head that you can marry that wild Joy and reform him. That boys mother is oid- CT than you and she has had more ex- perience, and if her older years of teaching, pleading and prayer have not brought results, you nave no job that an amateur can do cut out for you. Forget all about him, and you will be happier in the long run. It often takes dynamite, stump puller and dry cleaning on top of that to weed out wild oats.-Elnporia Gazette.

REPORTS OF MARKETS 1CrTON-GRAIN--LIVESTOCK

eficial rains in Kansas Opening prices which varied from unchanged figures to o-Sc lower, with July $1.43 1-2 to $1.43 3-4 and August $1.46 3-S to $1.46 1-2, were followed by an advance all around to well above Saturdays finish.
 In the last half hour sharp declines took place which appeared to be due largely to London talk of possible separate peace with Austria. The close was heavy, 3-Sc to 7-Sc net low, CT, with July $1.43 1-4 to s143 3S and August $1.46 to $1.46 Is.
 Oats were reatively weak as a re- suit of hedging sales. Besides de- mand from the east was very slow. After opening 1-Sc to 5-Sc down with August 6S to 6S IA, the market under went further sag and displayed but little power to rally.
 Liberal receipts of hogs weakened provisions. Most of the trading was in lard.
 Subsequently. reports of an im- proved cash demand brought about maderate advance. 04

New York Cotton.

New York, June 24.-A somewhat irregular opening vas followed by firmness in the cotton market today First prices were steady at a decline of one point on July but 51 points on August and 21 to 30 points on later months. A private crop report mak- ing the condition S4.9, compared with the government report of S23 last month, seemed somewhat disappoint- ing from bearish standpoint, while buying was promoted by the continued favorable character Of the war news and reports from Fall River that the government had rewritten it's goods specifications permitting the use of low lniddling instead of middling in certain cases. July sold up to 26.61 and October to 24.90 before the end of the first hour, making net advances of [ to 30 points.
 The early advance attracted a great deal of realizing There seemed to be less nervousness over the crop situa- tion in the southwest owing to show CTS and slightly lower temperatures, while the buying promoted Iby the 'bullish features in evidence early ap- peared to have left the market in an easier technical position. Prices eased off in consequence, with July reacting to '26.45, while October sold at 24.59 and December 24.40, or shade under Saturdays closing figures.
 Later weather advices from Texas seemed somewhat disappointing to early settlers, as they pointed to con tinued high temperatures, and the market was also influenced by reports of Italian successes. Trading remain ed quiet, but prices steadied up, rul- ing around 2654 for July and 24.71 for October, or about 10 to 12 points net higher during the middle of the after noon.

Wasting Ones Time.

It Is probable that large per cent of the money paid for work in all em- ployments. public and private, Is vast ed in idlins, talking, smoking and fool ing around. It can he noticed every day everywhere. It is bad symptom says the Ohio State Journal There is no difference between ste1!ng ones time and stealing ones money. Peo' pie are not in the habit of looking at it that way. They think 1t Is notbing to take ten minutes of mans time for which he Is paid three to ten doi' lars day. If one remembers the old adage that time is money, he will cou' clude he is a thief if he takes either. Character consists in making honest use of one's time. whether he works on a salary Or by: the minute. It is cA4lacters that he insist upop,F not 20 much the economy involved assthe no bility of seifhood. That should be ths reasure of every true man.

System important Habit.

One of the most important habits to corm is that of system. It Is a habit natural to some women. but to most 1t is an acquired one. It IS generally a cultivated virtue, achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many a falling from grace. Some of the most systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing. It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi. able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of wazt of system and save oneself needless inconven. fences and increase ones usefulness to other people.-Exche .9e.

The Interesting Loon.

The looE is one of the most beauti. ful and graceful of the wild water fowl, riyaling the wood duck in the markings cf its piunsage. On the Northern lakes there :s no bird that can dive quicker or swi1n faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land, but so active and alert is it in the water that it can dodge bullets. "The loon is q cousin to the bc,ver," says John Bur roughs. "It has the feathers of bird and the fur of an aE.mal, and the heart of both. It is as quick and cunning as tt<is bod and resolute. When disabled So that 1t can neither dive nor fly, it Is said to face it's foe. look at him ir the face with its clear piercing eye, and fight rcsolute.y tin deatl-.
