Signs of betterment in business

from their lethargy. .az
The whole situation is uneven
and uncertain, as is natural in a

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
WOOD RAT.
tBy Howard II. Garis.)

Once upon a time, as Uncle
Wiggily was hopping through the
woods on his way home to his hol-
low stump bungalow, he CHANGED
to pass a large heap of sticks OF
wood, all piled up together.
"Well, | never noticed this be-
fore" said the bunny gentleman
to himself, as he looked through
his glasses at the heap of sticks.
'Perhaps my friend Glitter Chat
ter, the woodchuck gentleman, has
been chucking wood around here,
Uncle Wiggily said, out loud.
But, as he thus spoke, he heard
sort of sad little voice saying:
ooh, how hungry | ami"
Dear me" thought the bunny
gentleman. Some one is always
hungry in the woods. / hope this
isn't the Fuzzy Fox or the WooZie
Wolf hungry after me-"
But, as he was about to hop
away, Uncle Wiggily saw some lit
tie rat children, playing around
the bottom of the pile of wood.
They were not like regular rats, or
mice children, but very pretty to
look at.
II am sorry. children" said an
older and motherly sort of voice,
"But l can not give you anything
to eat until your father comes
home. He has gone out to hunt
food"
"Oh, but we are so hungry"
cried the little rat children, and
then Uncle Wiggily put his paw
in his pocket, and he found
some peanuts he had bought to
take home to Nurse Jane.
Excuse me, Mrs. Rat Lady"
said Uncle Wiggily, with low
and polite bow of his tall silk
hat. But will your rat children
eat peanuts?"
'"Oh, just give us the chance and
see If we WON'T" cried the rat boys
and girls. So Uncle Wiggily gave
them all the peanuts he had

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Reluctance of
export interests to follow any ad-
vance in prices tended today to
check bullish ardor concerning
wheat. The market closed unset
tied, Il net lower to l 12c higher,
with December $1.70A to ST. q
and March $1.64% to $1.65. Corn
finished Il off to sc up and oats
gained a C to l &c. In provisions
there was a setback of soc to BIC.
Bears in the wheat market put
special stress on early indications
that Yesterdays sharp upturn IN
values had brought European de-
mand to a standstill. In this con-
nection it was pointed out that as
rule foreign governments nave
refrained from buying wheat on o.
big scale except when prices were
depressed. Heavy selling. which
set in from the east, however, met
with stubborn resistance from
commission men and eleventh hour
interests and Il was Contended that
lower prices did not harmonic
with the amount of business al
ready done or with enlarged re-
ouirements of domestic mills. Cos
sip that a moderate amount or
wheat had been purchased today
for shipment to Europe by the
Gulf of Mexico helped near the
end of the session to restore COM
narrative strength to the market.
Corn and oats were governed by
the action of wheat. despite liberal
profit taking on the part of recent
buyers of corn. Provisions sympa-
thized with downturns in the value

Chicago Motornaar, Giuen
$48, 900 Nobel Prize for
Famous Poetry Products
Fame Came Over Night to Scandinavian Who Came to
This Country Cabin Boy-Wrote While
Attempting to Starve Himself to Death

New York, Dec. 10.-Knut Samsun,
of Larvin, Norway, former Chicago
street car motorman, who today re-
ceives the s48.0O0 Nobel prize for lit
erature, has had as adventurous a
career as ever befell any of his Vik-
ing forefathers.
Sixty-year-ol poet, mystic and re-
cluse, at the height of his fame, Ham
sun six months ago was practically un-
known outside of Scandinavia He
was born in Gulbrandstal on August
4, 1860, and while working as a young
shoemaker's apprentice wrote some
little poems which showed him to
possess a most original and peculiar
style.
Young Hamsun did not take kindly
to- pegging soles and, longing for ad-
venture, shipped as a cabin boy at
Christiania and came to the United
States. Subsequently he became
miner, clerk in a store and a Chicago
motorman.
Fellow countrymen who knew him
in America at that time said that he
wrote occa asional sketches and poems
and showed marked tendencies toward
atheism and anchorism. Stricken with
what he believed to be a fatal Illness
Hamsun abandoned his radical ideas
and for short time pursued the study
of religious mysticism.
The authors bitter experiences in

upon his honor as member of the
house. He did not specifically name
the governments which he claims are
guilty of such practices, but inferred
that Spain was one of the nations.
The house immigration committee
in meeting just before the house
opened, approved two amendments to
the bill. One provides that the pro-
posed suspension shall in no way in
terfere with Oriental exclusion agree
ments, the other allows naturalized
citizens or those who have taken out
their first papers to send for their
wives who reside in foreign countries.
AS originally drawn, the measure pro-
vides only for blood relatives.
Representative Box, Texas, declared
that never before had the people of
the world planned to flock to one
country to escape war burdens. He
claimed that the people of California
have not overstated the problem of
Oriental exclusion.

America seem to have schooled him
for the famous man of letters he was
later to become. Always homesick for
his native land, he finally reached
Copenhagen, penniless and alone So
distressing was his plight that he
found lodgings in a garret and sought
to starve himself to death. He longed
to die and yet the instinct for self
preservation forbade his entering the
great unknown"
Wrote During Hunger.
1t was during this great life-and-
death struggle that Hamsun wrote his
now world-renowned sketch entitled
Hunger which printed in a Danish
paper, placed its author in the first
rank of Scandinavian writer's.
Later Hamsun wrote a novel of the
same title, Hunger" which proved to
be another mastery and impressive
analysis of the human soul. Success
came to him over night, as it were,
and the next morning Scandinavians
were acclalming him as their great
est living poet" In spite of this adu-
lation, Hamsun held himself aloof
from society and tried to escape all
worldly honors. He sought retirement
in hut in the forest near Gulbrand-
stal and when admirers tried to find
him there, he went further north to
the almost inaccessible little farm
where he had lived as a child.

Barefoot Girls
VIII Entertain
At Press Club
'Frying Pan" Guests To Be Given
Taste of Real Cabaret Stuff by Bob
Finlay's Bathing Girls.

There are a lot of wild women in
Topeka today. They are the ones who
have attended Press club affairs in
the past, and who have been unable
to get tickets for the Frying Pan din
ner at the Pelletier Tea Room Mon
day night. They have a right to be
wild. They have just heard that there
are to be women present-girls-bath
ing girls and barefoot dancer too.
These are the members of the COM

week by Bob Finlay, Mack Sennett
Comedy star, who showed at the Or
pheum theater during fair week. He
is bringing his show back for a re-
turn engagement at the Orpheum.

Were made to have the Finlay aggre-
cation as guests of the club for the
evening. The company, all nine of its
members including Yvonne the Egyp-
tian dancer and the full orchestra
from the Orpheum theater will have
their share of the eats early and dur
ing the serving of dinner to the Press
club and its guests will stage a cabaret
entertainment that promises much in
the way of eXclusiveness as members
of the aggregation of the local scribes
are already planning a scenario that
will be staged by Bob Finlay for this
show only.
Finlay is touring the country this
winter, to get acquainted with the
movie fanSSof the nation, prior to or
ganizing his own film company some
time next fall. Since he has been here
he has played in nearly every impor-
! tant motion picture palace in the
southwest. From Topeka he starts
his eastern swing. Since he left To-
peka, Finlay has added complete new
costumes and scenery to his produc-
tion and while he comes back with the
same girls, he also has almost a new
show, a part of which was suggested
| to him by one of the Topeka scribes.
The advance scale of tickets has
been good-better than the committee
anticipated-and if the general public
wishes to take advantage of the show
they must get in early with their
reservations. Tickets for the affair
may be secured from any member of
