The Boy

The following story is told II
one of our exchanges. We have
many just such boys in TIL, town
This particular boy bad a slint
shot and was shooting some lit
tie pebbles at trees and barns
and, perhaps, even at sparrOws
The boys aim went wild and the
little pebble from the slug shot
speeded wide of the mark and
crashed thru a window pane in 4
residence close by.
Did the householder get angry
at the boy? Was the lad arrest.
ed: Did the housewife chase
him around the block with a
broom?
No, that wasn't the end of the
unfortunate incident. The boy
saw what he had done and could
not resist the temptation to hide
behind a tree. The woman came
from the house and called to the
lad. The youngster crept slow
~ toward the house, his head
dropping.
Don't worry about that" said
the woman, ii have d boy just
about your size and your age.
He is a good boy, just like YOU.
But once in a while lie makes "A
mistake and does a little damage
to something. Don't worry
about this. 1t won't cost much
to have it liked again"
The boy thanked herand walk
ed away. For two days he did
odd chores for his mother t.
save some money. He didn't
tell his mother what he wanted
the money for until he had
enough to pay for the pane of
glass, and then he took the
money to the woman and SION
after told his mother about it.
This is just a little incident
fro1 every day life. A little
damage done by a boy was pass
ed over by a good wife and
the incident was 81 handeled as
to even help the boy who had
accidentally shot stone f,om
his sling shot through a window.
Boys are boys A scolding
from some angry woman would
not have accomplished hail as
as did the calm and kind words
from this particular woman.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. February 4.-Slackening
OF the rush to buy had a tendency to-
day to ease down prices in the wheat
market. Closing quotations were un-
settled at u to III net lower, with
May at 1.25 to 1.25h and July l.0sA
to 1.oSIs. Corn scored a gain of Is
to u: oats finished unchanged to II
on and provision unchanged to a de-
cline of 5.
1t was evident from the start that
demand for wheat had become less
urgent than has been the rule of late.
Even apart from the usual weekend
disposition to realize profits on hold
ings there were signs of lessened con-
hdence that the advance of prices was
to continue. and many traders were
apparently inclined TO dwelr upon
supposed indications of a pause in
the upward course Of foreign values.
Export inquiry was relatively slow
and domestic milling call seemed also
to have lost some Of its display of
spirit. Interest rather Jagged, too,
regarding the crop outlook southwest
In the absence Of any striking fresh
development. The burden of most of
the cable dispatches received here
was that the advance had been over
done. and 1t was generally antici-
pated that the United States visible
supply total on Monday would show
an increase.
For the first time in a long while
the corn market showed independent
strength as compared with wheat.
oats were steadied by the action Of
corn. Predictions were current that
there would be an actual shortage of
coarse grain prior to new crop.
Provisions at first advanced in line
with the hog market. but later re-
ceded on account of realizing sales.

quotation affording striking con-
trast to the low of S3.19 registered

COTTON RECOVERIES

NEW YORK. February 4,-The
recoVeries of the past three or four

disposition to take profits on recent

by nervousness over labor conditions

unsettled ruling of the cotton goods

Labor leaders are quoted to the
effect, that a strike of 10000 textile
workers will be called on February
13. and that it may eventually in
volve half a million men. Rumors
that two or three more New England
mills had been closed by strikes were
circulated here late in the morning.
