Chicago, Aug. 2 i.—There was a • ame closing
to as dull and uninteresting a w eek in the wheat
market as has been witnessed since the new
crop began to move. Fluctuations in specula
tive values were narrow in the extreme. Trad
ing was almost entirely local and largely in
December, which firmed up 56 'die early, then
broke 56 • and closed practically at the bottom,
or at 77077 vie. which was :>sc below yesterday’s
closing prices The corn market was fairly
active and weaker, lower prices being estab
lished, and the le ding was but a continuation
of that developed several days ago. Tne specu
lative market opened at about yesterday's clos
ing prices, was steady for a time, but soon de
clined sse, rallied U(j(gi!4c, became inactive, and
clos and !q@%c lower than yesterday. The oat
market was fairly active but u iset led The
shorts bought August and September and gave
them such good support tuat p ices only re
ceded sk@s4 c . More deferred deliveries were
offered with increased freedom an l developed
pronounced weakness, the prices declining
"6c, and the market closed quiet at about inside
figures. In hog 1 roducts a quiet and compara
tively firm feeling prevailed in the market, and
changes in prices were sligut. Toward the
close prices were advanced somewhat and closed
firm.

A STORY OF k PARROT.
The Anguish Caused by a Clause in a
Will.
From the Chicago Daily Newt.
Leander married Sophia Merrick. Deacon
Merrick’s oldest daughter; a rich old aunt,
after whom Sophia had been named, died
and left $20,000 to Sophia, so as you will
agree, Sophia was as eligible a young
woman as ever started in upon a patchwork
quilt.
When Loander saw Sophia’s pretty face;
when (perchance) the imaginative faculties
of his mind grappled and dallied with the
pleasing circumstance! that Sophia hai
$30,000 in her own right—then, ah then
Leander allowed, not secretly, but 'Openly
and boldly, that Sophia was the likeliest
girl in the township, and out-ide of the
township Leander’s acquaintance extended
not.
In spite, therefore, of the malicious libels
of tho other women folks Leander kept
paying attention to Sophia, and this sort ot
thing culminated only and naturally in a |
wedding, at which th3 bride’s mother wept
copiously and the bride’s father eeenino
scandalously hilarious over a dipperful of
hard cider. The day before the weddi g
l.eander made a modest effort to Hud out
what portion of her $’20,000 Sophia meant
to allot to him ns a dower, but at the mere
suggestion Sophia went into hysterics and
had to be tripped bv the doctor before she
was brought out all right.
It took l.eander just about six months to
find out that what folks had said ab'ut
Sophia’s temper was not a libel. Sophia
was a shrew. The must mortifying nnaaa
of the situation, however, was that Sophia
hung on to her s2o.ooo—yes. she guarded
anti clung to that $20,000 os only an urgus
eyed, briarean-hauded woman can guard
and cliug.
THE PARROT IS PURCHASED.
They had been married about six years
when they moved to IV orcestqr. Sophia
had tired of country life; shff pined for the
noise, the bustle, and the excitement of the
city; so they moved to Wore‘-ter, where
there are six trains a day each way. They
had no children, but Sophia, having drawn
a dividend on her Fitchburg stock one
spring, bought a parrot for $7, and about
this callow bird of song did the tendrils of
her heart gradually entwine themselves. It
was a gaudv but solemn bird was the parrot.
For hoars would it sit in the gilt ring in its
capacious zinc cage, staring dully into
space and uttering no sound whatsoever.
Sophia called it Dinkety—surely a most
frivolous name for so circumspect a bird!
They had been married going on eight
years, when Sophia up and died. Leauder
buried her and marked her gravo with a sim
ple marble slab bearing the ambiguous
legend “At R st.”
It transpired that Sophia had left a will.
It was rather of a surprise to Loand r.
Lawyer Beebe filed it and proved it up in
the prob ite c ourt. It was a simple document
It left Sophia’s entire fortune to L ander,
in trust for the parrot, and in the event of
the parrot’s death from natural causes the
fortune was to pass without res-rvo t>
Leander. Lawyer Beebe was appointed
executor of the will aud guardian of the
parrot, without bonds. Testarix confided
in Beebe becauses once upon a time he had
given her some legal advice without exact-
ing a fee.
Meanwhile Leander plotted against the
life of tho bird. Naturally enough, he
chafed under the conditions prescribed by-
Sophia’s will. Why s iould he, n human
being suffer his peace and dignity to bo
imperiled by a vulgar, untbiuki g bird?
The murder us passion waxed and grew in
Leander’s bosom untd presently it became
paramount and all-absorbing. “Psittacus
delendus est ” —this was in elfect, the sen
timent which Leander borrowed from the
ancient Romans. But how was t.iis rig lt
eous end to he achieved?
THE MACHIAVSLIAN SCHEME.
The emergency steined to call fertile
practice of extraordinary fiuesso, so Lean
tier importuned the advice of a trusted
friend, Mr. Babbitt, a barber. Mr. Babbitt
had worked in New York. Having shaved an
alderman in the Astor house, he was prop
rly regirded as a versatile and ripe scholar
in the occult sciences. Mr. Babbitt told
Leander that parrots would eat meat, and
that meat fed to parrots regularly would
duly induce epilepsy, from which malady
the victim would ultimately and surely die.
This was good news, great nows. Liatnler
began to dole out meat in preposterous
quantities to tho parrot, Dinkety. The
parrot relished the change of die, and was
happy. Leander was happy, tO.
Lawyer Beebe was, as we have said, the
parrot’s guardian. He cam.: around one
day to visit his ward and found t o pam
pered bird devouring a highly-spiced curry
of veai. Suspecting foul play, the vigilant
attorney laid tne matter before the probate
court, and after taking a vast amount of
expert testimony the court reprimanded
Leander and ordered the parrot’s diet
changed back again to soda crackers and
cuttlefish. ! his seemed to dise iurage the
parrot a good de il; but* think ot what
Loander’s feeling must have been.
The parrot went back to farinaceous
food; after that the only* fresh meat it got
was an occasionalmorceau nipped stealthily
anti unostentatiously out of Leaudar’s un
wary thumb or exposed wrist.
About this time another 'embarrassing
complication arose. The parrot had beou
young, but now it began to mature, and all
at once its palate and vocal chord-devel
oped fun tions of an extraordinary charac
ter. The parrot began to croak some what,anti
then it began to mutter incoherently, aid
finally it began to articulate und to phrase.
One mo nirig Leander wasaivakenod by a
voice calling: “Leander, Leander!” Ho
sprang out of bed, terrified, shivering.
“Merciful heavens!” he groaned. “It is my
wife—she bus come back from the grave!”
Then the video called again—audit was
unmistakably Sophia’s voice: “Leander,
git up! Leander, git a move on yo!”
THE GHOST WALKS.
It was not Sophia, however—Sophia was
dead aud buried; nor was it Sophia’s ghost.
It was Dinkety, the parrot. You see, the
bird had not talked before, because it was
too young to talk. As soon as it got old
enough to talk it spoke tho words most fa
miliar to it—words it had heard Sophia ding
at and into I>eander day alter day, wo k
after week, month after month. This was
natural enough. Tli re is nothing now un
der the sun. Dinkety did simply’ what we
are all doing.
Dinkety, the pirrot, resurrected and re
vived Sophia in every particular except
that of the flesh. A demoniac activity had
n iw succeeded to that semi-comatose' con
dition which characterized the early years
of the miserable biid. SomeUni sit thrust
its cerulean head out between lhe bars of
its zinc cage and sarieked: “You think
you're going to get my money, eh? Leander,
Leander, I’ll fool you yet!” At other times
standing upon its adamantine beak and
rasping the air with its horny claws, tho
grotesque creature crietfi “Never niairy
for money, Leander—never murry for
money ’ ’Then again—but why enumerate the
thou and preposterous tortures which the
heartless reptile inflicted upon Leander?
Hour after hour, day after day, week after
week, Daikoty, t' e parr -t, performed its
acrobatic monstrosities and shrieked shrilly
the old time objurgations and reproaches
which Sophia had usei so industriously.
“I will bear it patiently,” said Leander to
himself. “My time wiil come; the parrot
will die a natural death and then the $20,003
shall bo mine. I shall bo happy then— r'icn
and happy—and I shall have a parrot for
dinner every day.
But one morning while Leander wasread-
ing a news aper he turned pale and
trembled violently. His eyes had caught an
article headed “Facts About Parrots.” The
article started out in this wise: “At a re
cent eeting of the French academy Prof.
Achille Savin-Brillait made tne interesting
state rent that ornithologists were now
agreed that tiie life of the average parrot
exceeded 100 years.”
Leander gasped; just then he heard a
voice—his Sophia’s voice—rasp out in file
like tone, of exultation: “Never marry for
money, Leander—never marry for money.”
Leander gave it up then and thero. He
gathered himself together, proceedod to a
ch- ap lodging house, rented a room, turned
on the gas, wont tj bed, anil died miserably
of a broken heart.

A BIG SUCK
CESS, is the name of our “BOYS’ $3 SUIT pic
nic during the past week. In fact the extraor
dinary rush compelled us to draw still further
on some of our higher-priced suits to fill the
wants of applicants, and while the experience is
"by no means profitable to us it brings us into
notice and really accomplishes what we wanted,
viz., to reduce stock and get room to straighten
out for fall and winter. So vve will stand the
racket a little longer. Come on, boys; our loss is
your big gain. While they last you can have them.
LOTS OF BIG- TRADES left for grown people, too. We want to
get a very thin edge on our stock, and low prices do the grinding.
