CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, June S.--Wheat showed na upward slant in price today, chiefly on ac- count of rains, which pointed to a delay in the harvest of the winter crop. Closing quotations were firm at the same as yes terday's finish to 3-4c higher. with July $1.32 to s1.32 1-2 and September S1.15 3-4 to S1.17. Corn lost 7-8 to 1-Sc, and oats 3-S to 5-Sc. In pro- visions the outcome was unchanged to [ 1-2c higher
 Kansas and southern Indiana were chiefly the subject of misgivings among wheat traders who feared wet harvest.
 Considerable buying of the July delivery .o0k place as a consequence of apprehen-
 on about too much moisture where the dlgls were ready for cutting. The gen. al run of crop advices, however, appear ,l to be optimistic, and the September iolivery was theerfore much less in de- mand than July. Bulls were handicapped l!so by slowness of export call and by a new break in foreign exchange. More over, there was an evident disposition to restrict new business until after the gov- arnment crop report was known. The government figures came subsequent to the close, and as generally had been ex- pected proved bullish, though not to such a radical extent as the latest recent pri- vate forecasts would imply.
 Corn and oats were lacking in the az gressive support which has been conspicu- ous of late. It was said part of the recent crop shipments contracted for to go to Montreal were still awaiting a trans Atlantic buyer.
 Provisions hardened a little in lwine with hogs and as a result of some export | buying.

Little Dorothy,s Dream

Dear Uncle Jed: On. dear! I can't See why it has to rain every time l want to go somewhere !' cried Doro- thy who was very cross for she had planned to go picking violets and take her lunch with her. She was getting tired, too for having to stay around the house does not make enc feel very hap py. So acting upon mothers advice she laid herself down on the couch.
 Suddenly she seemed to see before her one of the tiniest creatures you ever saw! She was about half a foot high and was dressed in the quaint est costume of fine fairy gauge Sud denly in sweet musical tone she spoke to Dorothy, saying, Dorothy. my dear, you are discontented and cross because you could not go on the trip you had planned because of the rain. But come with me and we will see what we can do about it. There is something would like you to see" And she con tinued, T will make you as small as l am So that you may come on a visit with me to Fairyland As she said this Dorothy became as small as the fairy herself THen with the aid of her wand the fairy procured a pair of fairy wings and attadaed them to her shoulders 1 Soon they were flying over hiIltops and ! finally arrived in fairyland. Now" said Dorothy's fairy you are wondering why | l brought you here. Come with me and l will show you. We will go and see what is happening In the fairy gardens 1 When they arrived there Dorothy ex- | claimed with wonder in her tones al
 the beauty of the scenes before them l Why, they must be having a feast. l she cried. They all seem so merry ! and gay" T1en the fairy replied. Yes they are having this feast for the Iur. pose Of thanking God for the rain that | Is coming down in torrents" And" she went on, If no rain had come some ot | these flowers would have perished O thirst and the farmers crops may hay. been spoiled. So. my dear. you see "a when God sends rain it may be becaus, mother earth needs it."
 Come, Dorothy, get up! You hay,
 been asleep long while and now th.
 sun is shining and you can go out an, play"
 Dorothy slowly opened her eyes in be
 wilderment. The she told her uotbe
 about her dream and her mother sai,
 she thought it was very nice dream an,
 said she hoped Dorothy had learned ;
 lesson and that we must have rain some
 tune for who knows but some little flow
 CTS head is dropping and needs tn
 water. And Dorothy said she had learn
 ed her lesson and ran gaily out to play

4 Lucky Day,
DayvilIe

Dear Uncle Jed: One bright sunny morning some boys and girls decided to have q picnic. When they walked about a mile and a half they saw q hill and on top of this mill was a house. They thought it would be a good place 10 have their picnic.
 When they got near the house they saw Q nice green lawn and a nice big well in the middle of the lawn. They soon no ticed this used to be an old mansion. Af- ter they looked all around the old mansion they thought they would see if they could discover anything in the house.
 This was large house with six big rooms and a large hallway. In the house there was kitchen, dining room, parlor, living room, and upstairs there were two
 big bedrooms
 All the rooms were empty except bed
 room. In this room there was an old writing desk. The children didn't want
 to bother to look inside of it, because they thought it would be empty. A bright boy named John Brown said
 T am going to look in it. To his sur prise, he found it filled with money. He stood there and stared at it. The other children shouted for him to come, but he
 wouldn't move from his place. So one of the boys went in to see what was the matter with him.
 When he saw the sight he shouted for the rest to come When they were all together John told them he would give | them S10 each After they were ovel | their excitement they ate their dinner They all decided to go home. So John gave them the money he promised them 1 When John got home he told his mother of his adventure.
 1 When MT. Brown. Johns father. cam' home his wife told him the story of tn, i money. Alr. Brown said he used to know | this millionaire. He said the day h, moved he hired man whom he though
 would be true to him. After he had al 1 his furniture on the truck, and when h. l wasn't looking, he took one Of the boxe. 1 and hid il somewhere in the house, so h. 1 couldn't find it Last year when I wal
