Fluctuations Mark Trading
After Setback at
Opening

CHICAGO, Jan. s0.-Reports Of
greatly enlarged shipments OF
wheat from Australia and Argentina
led to an early setback In wheat
prices today. Australian shipments
for this week were figured rs near.
ly double those OF the week before.
Heavy profit taking sales here re.
suited. and speculative offerings
also broadened out, with buyers
much less aggressive than has been
the rule Of late. The opening. which
ranged from &c decline to &c ad-
vance. May. ;2.03L to 1904 and
July si.70h to s1.70A was followed
by a general decline IN which May
dropped to s.,o2A. but later rallied
In the last half OF the day. selling
pressure slaokened, and with some
what enlarged buying tho market
rose TO within &C OF the best price
on the crop, May delivery. Profit
again appeared, and a reac'
ton ensued. The close vas unset
tied at the samo as yesterdays fin
ish to 1s.c higher, the latter for
September. May closed at $2.03A to
sa.o3A and July s1.71S to s1.T1%.
July and September corn and oats
sold at a new high price record for
the season, but profit taking sales
eased the market at the last.
Corn closed unsettled. at &c net
lower to &c gain. May s1.s5 to
s1.35X.
Corn and oats were relatively
firm. and at times rose well above
yesterdays finish. This was at.
tributsd partly to transfer Of con.

wheat to feed grain owing 20 less So

HOLMES, I believe 1t is, tells in
= = one Of his essays of an Irish
man who built for himself a house
down in Cambridgeport of stray mate
rails which he had picked up.
He was his own carpenter and ma
son and builder. The house was con-
structed in accordance with his own
design. and, as Holmes said, was a
wonderfully good house considering
who built it. 1t is true that the Chin
ney was a little awry, that the win
dows were unsymmetrical and the
doors sagged, but how could one ex-
pect anything otherwise when one con-
siders the materials with which the
Irishman worked and his experience
and training in building constructions
II don't like to have people help
me-" Jordan said to me once. Il like
to feel that what l am and what
have done l am myself responsible for,
and that l am under obligation to no
one for my present position"
That was the way Stone felt, for
Stone was a self-made man who had
married a woman who. if she could be
said to be made at all, had certainly
been constructed in her own labora-
tory. Stone was very much like the
Irishman's house in Cambridgeport. He
had a good many sharp, rough cor
ners he was in no way symmetrical.
His chimney, so to speak, was little
awry.
1t would be admitted that Stone had
made commendable success in busl-
ness he had made money, but he had
paid so close attention to business thar
he had little or no time for anything
else. He lacked the polish and the
careful manners and the finesse which
come from training and from educa-
ton. He was narrow in his outlook
and narrow in his opinions. And yet,
considering the conditions under which
he had grown up and the fact that he
had made himself, he was really won
derful, and he admitted it.
The self-made man is entitled to
great deal of credit He works under
difficult conditions with ill-assorted
materials often. He has many handi-
caps to overcome, many problems TO
solve, and he must do these things
alone, without direction, often with
little companionship and little encour-'
agement from others. He can be ex-
cused if his product, as is often the
case, is crude, and lacking in beauty
and symmetry of design. 1t may have
strength even if it lacks artistic quail
ties.

sixteen that used to be unprolific, half

Then they saw her coming, a small

TOUR Of them. AS she came nearer
they saw that she was wearing a dark
skirt pinned up about her ankles to
protect 1t from the wet spring earth,
and yet 1t was spattered with a Dor
der OF mud spots. A rough, heavy
gray sweater was buttoned closely
about the straight, slim body. On her
mead was q battered soft black hat

path now. She could distinguish their
races. She saw Dirk smiled, waved
Her glance went inquiringly to the
others-the bearded man in uniform
the tall girl, the man with the dark,
vivid face. Then she stopped, sudden
ly, and her hand went to her heart as
though she had felt a great pang, and
her lips were parted, and her eyes
enormous. AS Roelf came forward
swiftly she took few quick, running
steps toward him, like a young girl

spattered skirt, the rough gray sweater

SELF-PRAISE

T WAS out to dinner last evening
4 with an organization Of young men.
Just as / was at the critical point in
an enlightening and humorous nara
tive they burst into song. The mo-
ment for starting their musical effort
was ill-chosen. for it halted me just
when l was about to reach my climax,
and left my joke hanging in the air.
When the melody had ceased the point
of my tale had been lost, and l did
not try to find it again.
The song which the fellows were
singing was an autobiographical
eulogy which celebrated the greatness
and moral perfection of the organi-
cation of which they were a part, and
which did not fail to mention the SUI
periority, both of the group and Of
the individual members, of the fellows
themselves over any similar body of
men in Christendom. The song was
ment of what they thought of them
selves.
/ wondered as l sat there, halfway
between the salad and the dessert,
what they would have thought of me,
had l, just as we were rising from
the table, given vocal and melodious
expression to my own ideals and ac-
complishments-how much more ex-
perienced l was than other men, how
much more moral and talented and
capable, how much better in every
way than my neighbors across the
street or any of my daily associates.
1t takes a peculiar self-possession to
sit calmly through a burst of self
praise on the part Of a companion,
and to seem to be interested in it.
Self-praise Is not uncommon these
days. l belong to more than one or
ganization which weekly INDUCES in
this sort of adulation and which adj
mits, even with strangers present,
that ii is the greatest thing of its
kind in existence. The experience is
a new one for me--possibly in time
| shall grow into it, but just now this
believing of self-praise amuses rather
than stimulates me.
Self-praise is no praise at all, some
one has wisely said. 1t is a case of
the preiudiced witness, and such wit
ness has little standing in court When
a man begins to praise himself he
almost invariably weakens his case.
To blow ones own horn mellifluously
and successfully is an art which few
have been able skillfully to cultivate.
There is nothing most people like
better than praise unless it is more
praise Even the most stolid dimple
under it. Praising ones self, how
ever, is like giving ones self Christ
mas present, or inviting ones self to
a dinner party. There is little real
commentator or flattery in it. One
can extract praise from a friend If
he goes at it skillfully and strategi-
cally, and even such uncertain praise
is better than self-adulation, and 1t
makes one feel better, too
