ut is easy enough for her to

smoothed the folds of her heavy
black satin dress before we walked
on. Her daughter, Hazel, dressed
her and dressed her beautifully in
handsome, expensive material. No
wonder she could talk against get

It was not enough to pay the entire

be: Don't run any bills without

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Conflicting

cess of immediate requirements
July /, At first these figures were
generally construed as a decided
bearish factor. and together with
unsettled political and economic
conditions in Europe looks to a
sharp decline. Later, however, it
was pointed out that the average
carryover in pre-war days was
250,000,000 bushels. Export buy
ing of wheat and flour had mean

was showing notable bulge.
Corn and oats. governed by
wheat, touched a new low price

Downturns in hog value had q
depressing effect on provisions.

friends skipped along.
The lame dog hoped very we'll
on Uncle Wiggily's nice Sunday
crutch, and soon they had reached
the hollow stump bungalow. There
Nurse Jane gave the dog one of
the soup bones, and soon DR., Pos
sum came to fix the dogs cut

And it's good thing Uncle
Wiggily helped the lame dog, for
that night the bad old Fox tried to
get in the bunny's bungalow,
where the lame dog was staying.
But the dog barked so loudly, and
growled so fiercely, that the bad
Fox was frightened and ran away.
So you see it is sometimes a
good thing to have two crutches.
And if the goldfish doesn't forget

asked Uncle Wiggily, the bunny
rabbit gentleman, of Miss Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, his muskrat lady
housekeeper, one morning.
"Are you going to the store ?"
she inquired,
"Well, not exactly to the store"
Uncle Wiggily made reply. But l
am going over to Jack Be MINDLESS
shop to have him fix my red,
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch. And as long as l have
to go there 1 might as well do a
little shopping for YOU"
"You are very kind" spoke
Nurse Jane. "All / need is some
soup bones. Please bring me a
few. But what is the matter with
your crutch?'
at is my old one" Uncle Wig
gily answered "Some of the red;
white and blue barber pole stripes
are worn off. l don't want to use
my Sunday crutch for every day,
though I'll take it with me now,
while I leave my old one to be
painted over"
"All right" agreed Nurse Jane.
'"Then. you can get me the soup
bones"
SO Uncle Wiggily started out
from his hollow stump bungalow
with two red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutches-his
old, every day one and his nice
Sunday one.
when Jack Be Nimble fixes my
old one and paints it, why III

off into a description of the won
derful day she gave me.
From what you say | think l
should like this Miss Morton very
much. She seems the right kind,
Mrs. Randall remarked.
Your mother objects TO Helen

ed to Tom, who surprised. looked
from one to the other anxiously, an
expression of annoyance on his face
as if something ne had feared and
dreaded had come to pass.
ooh, Helen's all right, mother, y
he replied. She isn't a society
woman, but she's good company,
and both she and her husband,
who is a bully fellow, have been
more than neighborly."
"Of course. There are many
people who are good neighbors
whom we don't care to call friends, -
she answered., 1 thought disdain-
fully.
When Tom rose from the table,
although nothing more had been
said, his face still wore an anxious
expression. And when I, as usual,
followed him into the hall for my
goodbye kiss, he said:

old fashioned in her notions, Sue,
