POOR HUMANITY.

Sometimes l think the human
race has very little fun; less pleas
ure than the brutes that chase and
gambol in the sun. I'd like to be
a bob-o-link and circle in the air;
for little birds like this, ! think,
know naught of human care. They
bear no burden on their hacks, no
weary load that kills; they do not
pay an income tax, or face big
monthly bills. I'd like to be n
kangaroo upon a desert plain, and
! would hop a mile or two, and
then hop back again. Sometimes
sad thoughts like these l think,
when life has made me hot; but
some one shoots the bob-o-link

and / remain unshot. The lower
animals | view, and think them
satisfied; but some one Stays the
kangaroo that he may tan its hide.
I'D like to be a crocodile" in
peevish mood ! wall, land would
swim the stored Nile and smash
things with my tail" But croco-
dies know little mirth, and much
of woe they've known; for every
eritter on this earth has troubles
of its own. But cats and wolves
and grizzly bears and cows and
birds and snakes don't publish
forth their daily cares, their little
pains and aches. They take ex-
istence as it comes, the bitter with
the sweet, and, being short of
muffled drums, they look for
things to eat.

ascribed to bearish aspects of the
industrial outlook. Gossip that the
government report on farm re-
serves March 1 would prove to be
against the buying side tended also
to weaken the market.
On the downward swing of
prices, however. European demand
revived, and it was estimated that
I,40O,OOO bushels had been pur-
chased for export. A quick upturn
in prices followed, and there was
lively buying at the last, much Of
it on the part Of shorts. but also
q considerable amount that APP
peared beyond question to be for
investment. Talk of Hessian fly
danger IN the northern section of
the wheat belt counted somewhat
as late bullish factor.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat.
Smallness of rural offerings of
corn attracted q good deal of no.
tice. Higher quotations on hogs
gave a lift to provisions.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
MUSIC BOX.
By Howard r. aarls.

Hello! Hello! Is Uncle Wiggily
there?"
This is the question Nurse Jane
heard some one ask over the wire,
as the muskrat lady housekeeper
answered the telephone in the hol-
low stump bungalow one morning.
"Why, yes, Uncle Wiggily is
here. He has just finished eating
his breakfast" answered Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. "Who is this?"
Then Nurse Jane wished she had
asked that question first, instead
of saying that the bunny gentle
man was at home.
For maybe this is the Fox, Wolf
or Bear asking" thought Nurse
Jane.
However, she felt much better
when she heard the voice saying
over the wire;
This is Aunt Lettie, the Goa
lady. You know Baby Bunty is
staying here for while"
eyes, l know tnat," said NURSE
Jane.
"Well, I wonder if Uncle Wiggily
can bring over something will
which to amuse Baby Bunty?
asked Aunt Lettie. 1T is so colo
/ don't want her to go out today
and she is so fretful from stayins
in the house. Please ask Uncle
Wiggily to bring over something
to amuse Baby Bunty."
81 WILL" promised Nurse Jane
and when she told the bunny gen
tleman what was wanted, Uncle
Wiggily twinltled his pink nose an6
remarked:
II wonder what new toy I car
take to the little Rabbit girl? L
must be something new and anus

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

The canvassing by congress of the electoral
votes for president did attract much notice,
as it has become a purely formal proceeding. Yet
it was an occasion for thought, when these ballots
cast by the elected representatives of the people
were added up, showing 404 for the republican
candidate and only 1877 for the democratic.
Ordinarily party lines are closely drawn in this
country. In 1912 owing to the division of the
