Nature tells of an indoor snow
storm on a very clear, cold erening
at a party guen in Stockholm, Swe
den. Many people were gathered ia
a single room, which became ao
warn as to be insufferable. The
window sashes were found frozen,
and a pane of glass was smashed
out. A cold air current rushed in,
and at the same instant flakes of
snow were seen to fall to the floor
in all parts of the room. The at-
tnoephere waa so saturated ' with
moisture that the sadden fall in
temperature produced a snowfall indoors.
- BOARD OF TRADE DEALS. '
, i .
Ninety Pr Cent of These In Chloaoe
Are Purely Speculatlvs.
Probably quite 00 per cent of all
the transactions on the board are
pure speculation, consisting of
trades made by persons who do not
expect to receive or deliver a bushel
of actual grain, explains Wpl Payne
in .'The Chicago Board of Trade"
fn Century. This speculative trac
ing is not only the most prominent,
but ia the most useful, of the board's
functions. Without it there could
not possibly be-the broad market'
which makes wheat a liquid asset
everywhere in the United States.
The speculative business means sim
ply the perfection of a trade organ
ization. You may buy a corner lpt
which in jour opinion is likely to
adranotla Value, pay for it, go to
the Ravines bank, mortpare the lot
and borrow on It the major part of
the purchase pnee, leaving invested
of ' ybur own capital only enough
margin to secure tht lender against
lota through fluctuation la Ttlue.
In a highly organized liquid mar
ket like that in grain and llocjf? all
this lumber of mortgaging and bor
rowing is eliminated. . You simply
pay down the margin Virtually , no
body would buy wheat for a rise if.
he had to go out and get the actual
grain, inspect it, And a storehouse
to put it in, see that it waa proper
ly insured, guard against deteriora
tion by sweating, etc-, while it waa
in store and when he wished to tell
it look around for a customer who
wished ast so much wheat of just
SucH a sort. The board of tra4e
oee all this for him, the purchaser's
part consisting only In giving an or
der to a broker and paying down
the margin' which will lnrore the
broker against lose througb3uctua
tlona in price. This is what makes
the broad market that gives wheat
its staple value. " -

Obedience of a Boy Who Afterward
.Became a Great Man.
;flir ' Henry Ilavelock attributed
much of hla success in after life to
the training which he received from
bis father and mother. On one oc
casion his father ' told his son to
meet him on London bridge at noon,
but he forgot all about the appoint
ment; and when he got home in the
evening was surprised to find the
lad not there.
"Where is Henry?" he asked of
his wife
' She replied that the boy had gone
to meet his father early in the day
and had not been back yet.
"Why said, the father, "he must
be waiting for me on London bridge.
I promised to meet him there at 12
o'clock. I told him to wait for me
if I waa not there at that hour, but
I forgot all about it." - -
It was now late in the erening.
The father at once put his overcoat
on to go in search of the lad. He
lived a long way from London, ana
it was past midnight when he reach
ed the bridge.
Sure enough, there stood the. brave
boy, shivering with the cold. He
would not move away, although cold
and tired, because his father's last
words on parting had been, "Wait
there for me, my boy. till I come.

who could obey . so well became a

Dr.- Alexander ilcKenzie in one
of hs sermons tells of a pretty anec
dote, of the early life of Louis A gas
six, the great scientist.: As a child
Agaisix lived in Switzerland on the
border of a lake." lie had a younger
,brothcr,.and one day the two lads
started to cross the lake." It was
frozen, and the lice looked safe
enough, but their mother watched .
them. v.i
The boys got on, very well till they
came to a crack in the ice perhaps a
foot wide. 'The mother could not
call to them, although her' heart
failed her as she thought, "Louis
will get over well enough, but his
little brother will try to step over
and will fall in."
As she watched she saw Louis get.
down on the ice, his feet on one side
of the crack, his hands on tho other
side, making a bridge of his bodr.
and the little brother crept over Mth
to the other side."- Then-Louis got
up andtheywent on their way.

Narw.YOBrE, Aug. 2LThe cotton
market opened ateady at an ad ranee of
two points on 'September, a- decline of
four points on August and unchanged
to two points on the. later positions.
Tha feature of the .early session was
the course of AurosL Notices, estimat
ed at l,000;bales were said to be clrca-
latlnr, anav there-was considerable:
sellin&T of -that position -at the starts
The month opened at 13.20, sold up to
13.25. then declined to 12.15 only to
rally and sell '- back - to '12.20, - after
which it again declined to 12.16 and waa
finally quoted at 13.23, or one point
under the close of the prerious night.
The balance of the -list ruled very
quiet most - of the forenoon, aad fluc
tuations' were rery narrow.' The
weather map reflected" generally fa
rorable climatic conditions, but there
were further reports of damage from
dou weeru in xexar, ana this m con
nection with steady -cables restricted
sales while on any -aymptom. of a de
cline the clique supported values more
or less - rigorously and - toward
the close v their ; buying - became
moren aggressire with - September
in eery good, demand. That
position which had sold at 10.73 was
for up on this demand and coreriog to
10.88, elodng at that figure, while Oc
tober - touched 10.05 and December
9.85. The list closed firm, fire to six
teen points higher on the new crop
months and' net one point lower on
August. - BaJea were estimated r
150,000- bales. , Thalarger sales of
spot cotton had some infiaence in the
late market, soma 8,908 bales being re
ported sold to spinners, with the mar
ket steady at unchanged prices.
