Lonk wheat came out freely, lu the last half hour, the final quo tations being only a fraction above the inside of the day. May opened from StiWASS to gUVi; sold a t 68%; declined to 57%; closing at 67%—*% of a cent under yesterday. Cash wheat sold % of a cent per bushel higher, but closed nominally weak with the futures. Corn—Prices of com were firmer and higher on their own conditions, but lost what that had gained ealy elm-ply from sympathy with wheat in the final min utes of trading. May corn opened from 58% to 48%; sold at 48%a49; declined to 48%; closing at 48%-%a% under yesterday. Cash com sold at %a% per bushel better than yesterday, but after trading in that branch, the market was over, price3 e- flected the weakness of futures. Oats-Advanced with wheat and corrt early and declined with them later. The trade was very moderate. May closed % cent under yesterday. Cash oats sold % per bushel higher than yesterday. Provisions—Stronger grain markets and a firm hog market were favorites In product early, and the packers against them. A slight appreciation was doted in prices’at the opening, but It soon disap peared under the weight of offerings. May pork closed 7% cents tinder yester day; May lard 2% cents higher and May riba a slight fraction higher. FUTURE QUOTATIONS The leading futures ranged as follows; WHEAT— Opnlng. Highst.

Count des Garcts, a grandnephew of La- fayetto, who has hunted in fcbo Rooklos, told something about Ills favorite sport of wolf hunting, for which he lias become famous in Russia. “Wolf hunting,” he said, “is probably the most dangerous sport thoro is. With a servant and a cou ple of fast horses attached to a sleigh I have gono out nnd baited the ground for tho brutes on numerous occasions. A fat hog tied to a treo uevor foiled to collect a pack. Tho trouble was tlmt it drew too many. Tho wolves would gather to the number of S00 or U00 and devour tho pig. Then wo could dash upon tho scene, and tho fun would ooimnonoc. They aro ns fleet os n deer. To say that they nro ns fleot us wolves would bo inoro‘ llko It. They can outrun tho horses every time, nnd if thoy aro not picked off as fast os thoy como up you might as well give Up tho light and purmlt yourself to bo de voured. Imagine yourself making a run ning flgbt with a band of 300 hungry, maddened wolves, and with tho knowledge that if one of tho fleet littlo brutes rcaohoa your horses you aro n dead man, and you can possibly imogino what a nervy sport it is. It requires a cool head and a good cyo. If you miss your mark, you’ro gone. Yo'ur only dhanco of safety is in keeping your horses up. It is gonorully a long light You look back nnd sco tho car casses of tho animals dotting tho snow for a mile or two lu your wako, and still thoy pursue you In groat numbers. Slowly tho pack thins out. Many have dropped bleed ing to tho ground. Others stop to devour tho carcasses. Tho moro that fall tho inoro timid tho rcsb become. Wlion you finally outdlstanco tho pack, you lmvo been through tho most trying ordeal that tho most ardent sportsman could wish. Yes, I consider wolf hunting tho mozt dangorous sport thoro Is. Tiger hunting In India is tame besldo it. If you bo Into tho jungles of Indin to Rhoot u tiger, you nro accompanied by n long rotlnuo. You 6hoob your prey from the. howdah of an elephant. If you miss your victim, there nro 20 bullets rendy for him boforo ho eprlngs. • A person might ns well go tljier hunting in a menagerie. Tho only unsat isfactory part of tho sport which wolves afford Is tlmtnftcr you are all through you haven’t anything to show for your efforts. But it Is groat sport.”—Boston Trans cript. Twenty-seven Unwise Mon. An amusing Incident occurred at tho closo of Sam Jones' sermon at Pulaski. Stepping down from tho pulpit, folding his hands across his breast, and looking solemnly over tho audlenco, the groat re vivalist Raid: “I want all tho women in this crq^rd who Iiavo not spoken n hhrsh word or har bored van unkind thought toward their husbands for a month past to stand up.” Ono old woman, apparently on tho shady side of CO, stood up. “ Como forward and glvo mo your hand, ” sold tho prcachor. • Tho woman did so, whereupon Jones said: “Now turn around and let this audlenco seo tho best looking woman In the coun try.” | After taking her seat the revivalist ad dressed tho moil: “Now, I want all the men In this orowd who lmvo not spoken a hard word or har bored an unkind thought toward their wives for a month past to stand Up.” Twonty-soven great big strapping fel lows hopped out of tho audience with all tho alacrity of champagne corks. 14 Como forward and give mo your hands, my dear boys.” Jones gnvn each ono a vigorous shake, after which ho ranged all of thorn sldo by. sldo In front of tho pulpit and faolng tho audlenco. Ho looked them over carefully and solomnly, nnd then, turning around to tho audlonce, ho said: ‘*I want you all to take a good look at tho 97 biggest liars In tho stato of Ten- ncEsoo.”—Hartwell (Ga.)

Paradise Myths. Paradise opinions scorn to owe muoh of tholr popularity to peculiar local fitness. Tho Inhabitants of tho Kongo basin be lieve Hint paradise in n “valloy of peace,” where good spirits float about, continually engaged in catching mosquitoes, and thus protectlng t tho (deep of kings and great men who aro In a perpetual slumber. Tho Inhabitants of tho hot, sandv, shade- icssdcBcrt Island of Dotocu linaglno pnra- dlso to L a land of cool streams, shaded by gigantlo forest growths. It may be well to mention in this connection that the heavon ideas of all desert dwellers pictures a thickly wooded hereafter. Tho Yokoots of eastern filberts believe that heaven will bo a country provided with ready lighted fires and many blub bering kettles and flsh oil. When the Rov. Claus Hansen, a Norwe gian missionary, was picturing heaven to an Eskimo, the savngo flatly refused to embrace Christianity because, according to his Idea, the hereafter should provide ploujy of Ice, snowshoca and sea monsters. ■ —St. Louis Republic. Carroll Tralnor was to go to Mexico to make his fortune, and Lila Havens bad promised to remain true to him till his re turn. When they parted, ho decided to re turn to Baltimore at onoo and make ar rangements to go to Mexico. Lila Havens went on alone to friends oho was to visit at Sharpsburg. “Wo expected you this morning, 14 said her hostess. ‘‘Yes, dear, but, you see, I was unavoid ably delayed. What a lovely day it has becnl” “And there la a telegram for you, Lila.” “ Reallyf Something aunt forgot to mention, I dare say. Exoueo me.” She broke it open carelessly. “Doai me!” Bhe puckered her brow. “Only fancy I The admiral Is coming down here tomorrow.” . Tbe admiral appeared on thefiocnoat noon tbe day following. “My doar Lila,” ho said, “I must have a little talk with you.” “Yes, uncle. 14 • 4 ’Lila, my dear”—they were quite alono—“I have had a proposal for your hand in marriago. If I had chosen tho man, I could not bo better pleased than to see you the wife of Judge Mason.” Uncle! Ho Is more than twlco my age. I never dreamed of It.” “Ho Is a young man, my dear—a vigor ous young man. Ho will idolize you. You knew ho admired you.” “Ho Is a widower.” “But hia only daughter is married.” “Oh, undo, it—it la out of tho ques tion!” “My dear, you glvo mo great cause for apprehension. It will disappoint mo ter ribly If you do not acoept him.” “But, undo, I oni but 18. Why should I marry for live or six years yctf I’ll never bo young but once—noverl” she said pa thetically. “And I am not a penniless oroaturo that roqulros a homo. 1 might bo allowed to pick and chooso.” “My dear,” the old man looked sud denly grave and pale, “thero is bad news. You must make up your mind to moot It bravoly.” Lila’s face reflected somo of tbe paleness of his own. “Undo—ray—my moneyf Hnvo Host It?” “Thore lias been a terrible flnanolol fail ure. I hardly know how to toll you. Wo only heard yesterday, and wo don’t know for euro es yet. I am afraid—Lila, you must bear up—I am afraid you havo lost nearly all you had.” Tho girl loaned baok lnthechalr. Thero was a stunned look In hor faco. She did not speak. Tho admiral went on speaking more rapidly: “I can hardly blame myself. It was on undreamed of thing. Of course thoro is a little real cstato left you. Heaved knows I wish It hud been all In houses. Judge Mason”— •“Oh,” tho girl brolco In suddenly, “he won’t want mo now—when bp knows I am penniless!” “My child, ho camo as soon as ho knew It.” She went to hor room and locked horsolf lfl. Then she wrote to Carroll Tralnor: “I am no longor rich. Thoro Is no uso of an engagement. I havo lost everything. Perhaps you will bo rich somo day, Car- roll. If so, you must como and And mo.” But she said nothing of *Hon. Thomas Mason. Tralnor felt grlovcd at tho tono of tho lottcr. Ho wroto back ropronchfully. 8ho had made n promise. Perhaps she sought to bo released from It. If so, ho would re lease her. In hor plnco ho would hardly havo so written. But, then, ho was only n man. • The girl’s soul sickened within hor. brief noto from Tralnor told her that he was just leaving for tho gulf const, whero ho would And n steamship for Vera Cruz. Ho thought ho would novor return to tho United States. A great despair enmo ovor hor. In hor scnsltlvo stato she felt that ho nolcngor oared for her. Sho capitulated nnd consented to rcoelvo Judgo Mason’s addressos. Thrco months had passod. Tho wedding was to take placo tho .last week of Juno. Miss Havous was to bccomo Mrs. Thomas Mason. Tho wedding invitations wero about to be sent out—tho wedding day was flxod a fortnight honce. Miss Havoiis, out on a shopping orrand. turned a street core sharply and ran against somo ono. 8ho looked up and grow pale. It waa Carroll Tralnor. “Youl” she said faintly. “You didn’t oxpoct to see mof LUo, for hoavon’s sake, is that truef You aro going to marry Judgo Mason?” fihe nodded with an offort. The idea of tho marriage, to which she had become reconciled, but novor enthusiastically dis posed, suddenly seemed sickening, lior whole soul rovolted. “Carrolll” she gasped. "Ob, Carroll) If thero were any escape!” “Escape? What do you mean? Isn’t it your own choosing? Aro you being forcod into marrying tho old widower?” "I—I—oh, you sceraod not to want mo. And unole and aunt scorned not to want mo. Nobody seemed to want me—exoept Judgo Mason. He was very kind, but I never have loved him. Carroll, if you bad not deserted mo!” “I—dcsortod youl I’ve just returned from Mexico,” said Tralnor, “and I’m go ing hack there at onoe. I’ve got a splun did chance. It’s lonesome for A man to be by himself. Tho climate Is like paradise.” Tho admiral and bis good lady wero at tho broakfast table. His mornlrg mall lay boforo him. Ho took up the top letter of all and gazed se verely at it. Tho handwriting was Lila's. The letter bad been posted tho ulght be fore. He opened it, read It in silence and passed It to his wife. “Do not send the invitations,” it said, “for I shall not marry Judgo Mason. Ho is a good man and will understand It was a mistake. I love some one else and havo gono away to marry him. We shall spend our honeymoon In a palm thatohed hut In Mexico.” Mrs. Blair could not speak. After a moment's silcnco the admiral observed: “Oil the whole, I’m glad the marriago Is off. Tho judge's daughter was greatly op posed. Sho might have mode things un pleasant after a bit.” And still again, “ShoV a plucky little creature, Liln Is—God bless her!”—New Orleans Tlmcs-Dcmocrat, The Selene# of Wrinkles, An Italian scientist, M.
