 Peter Rabbit had made find Yes, sir, Peter had made find. Jt was only a tiny piece of egg shell, but there was a whole story in that tiny piece Of cgg shell. It was news big pcWs and bad news for the Nltl" people Of Green Forest. You see, that little tiny piece Of osg shell meant that at least one little bird had matched; and If one had, prob ably two had,
 Peter waited only to make sure Of that little piece Of egg shell; then off he hurried as fast as his long legs could go, lipperty- -lipperty- lip. The first one he met was Jumper the Hare. "Oh, Jumper" cried Peter, They've got them!'
 Do talk sense," said Jumper grossly. Who has got what"
 "Hooty and Mrs. Hooty have ba- bes,' replied Peter quite breathless with excitement.

 Peter nodded. I'll tell every body" said he, T know one thing"
 What is that?' asked Jumper euriously.
 I'm going to keep away from that part of the Green Forest re- pliod Peter. "You won't catch me over there again for a Ions, ong time"

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Aug. IL 6Pl--Nervousness
pervaded the wheat market today, and
prices averaged lower despite strong
rallies at times. Weakness of stocks
in New York had a bearish influence.
Closing quotations on wheat were un-
settled at 1sc to &c net decline, with
corn showing 9sc to 1c advance, oats
&c to 3sc up, provisions unchanged
to zoe down.
Upturns in wheat were hard to
maintain. Selling on the part of hold
ers and from spectators for a de-
cline met every advance, and frus-
trated determined efforts to lift the
market. Late buying of wheat in the
face of weakness of stocks was based
a good deal on field conditions north
west regarded as, likely to promote
black rust damage. Besides unsatis-
factory weather in Europe and rela-
tive firmness of Liverpool wheat quo
tations were of some effect. Too much
rain, especially in France and England,
was reported to pe interfering with
the European harvest and pointing to
need of more liberal purchasing from
North America.

the seaboard advised of 100000 bushels
taken today for shipment to Europe.
In addition, vessel room was chartered
here for 10000 bushels of wheat to
go to Montreal. Export demand here
was the best in some time, with more
wheat wanted than was actually
bought, and with better basis gen.
orally paid, cash wheat being un-
changed to 1c up.
Illinois and Iowa crop reports were
bullish on corn, and there were more
reports in regard to the corn borer.
Oats advices in most cases told of
smaller yields than expected.

Phoenix Gunlnan Has
Been Recaptured and
Sentenced to 20 Years

PHOENIX, March N1 = Forty
eight hours after he had shackled
and bound a deputy sheriff and a
tentist to pave the way for one Of
the most daring escapes ever staged
in Phoenix, Jack Mckee, 81, gun
man and holdup had been recaptured
and sentenced to from 20 to 40 years
in Florence prison on a charge of
holding up the Strand theatre here
Christmas Eve.
Mckee was apprehended by a
posse of eight officers at an early
at the home Of friends. The fact
that the officers had made their
surprise capture so complete is be
lieved to have prevented bloodshed
as the gunman fugitive was heavily
armed.
Judge Marlin T. Phelps passed
sentence on Mckee who was to have
faced trial yesterday, but his escape
from his guard, Deputy Sheriff Wal.
ter Baker and subsequent handcuff.
ing of the deputy and DR.. Julius
Gibbons, dentist in whose office
the attack occurred, led to state
wide man hunt which was ended by
a tip that Mckee was at the home
of a girl friend in the north part
of Phoenix. When questioned the
proprietor of the house where Mckee
was taken into custody, stated that
he did not know who Mckee was
but had let him sleep on the porch
at the request of his girl friend
who lived at the house.
Mckee admitted to Judge Phelps
that he had served time for grand
larceny in Folsom prison, California,
and that in general his was bad

many aliases.

pressing need, and the failure of
some bills, as he sees 1T, does not
