How the GUiea Bunkoed, the Banko Man. Chicago Times-Herald: He was on old-time Chlcagoan, just back from a long trip to tho mlnlnfc region of the far west, and when he got off the train and started to walk across town to a car line that would carry him to his homo his appearance was somewhat eeedy and rural, though prosperous withal. . Ho had<,been quite a long time away from the city, but not so long as to for get about the tricks of some of Its people ?who live by their own wits and other people's credulity. Consequently when a spry but evll-looklng young fellow hurried up to him smilingly and In quired most conftally,' "Why, how do you do, Mr. Jones; how are all the folks in Jerseyvllle?" he knew Just what to do, and instead of giving his right namo answered cheerfully: "Why, I am not Jones of Jerseyvllle. I am "Wood of Rock He expected, of course, to be greeted by another spruce young man a little further along, and he was not disap pointed, for as he crossed the street at the next block a young fellow bumped Into him from the opposite direction, and looking up In a surprised, astonish ed way, shouted gleefully: "Why. Mr. Wood, how are you. and how did you leave all the folks in Rock Island?" "Wood? My name isn't "Wood," de clared the pilgrim, "and I never saw Rock Island. My name is Richards, and I live in Helena." 'The young man. looked puzzled and disappointed, but apologized politely and went on. The pilgrim didn't expect to be accosted again, but he was.. A block or so' farther along a third fel low, older than the others," tapped him on the arm politely and greeted him with: "Good morning, Mr. Richards. Just come In? How did you leave everybody in Helena?" "I guess you have made a mistake, friend," said the traveler; "I am not Richards of Helena. I'm Lewis of Louis ville. runfrwi Then the third bunko man tumbled. They had all suspected after the sec ond one had been folded, and now they were sure that they had themselves been taken In, and they wanted re venge. ;S;"k'.v,vk \ "Well, I don't know-who you are, Mr. Lewis, of Louisville, but I'll tell you one thing. If you'll just step around the corner I'l show you a trick you don't know yet." "You would like to show me where the explosion was In the tunnel, I sup pose," said the traveler, mentioning an other favorite game of the bunko boys, but the*- did not remain to lead him there. They saw a policeman walking toward-them up the street and dug out as fast as possible. ALL HE WANTED. The Mountaineer's Modest Request of Ex president Cleveland. New York Journal: Here is a story which shows the value of advertising and teaches also that personal fame is after all questionable and comparative. Overlooking the Hudson the next house to ex-Senator Hill's Wolfert'6 Roost Is -the summer residence of a Mr. Cleveland whose fortune Is based upon the lucky combination of certain chemicals whic?h result In the production of an article of great use In iHe kitchen. By much ad vertising the Cleveland name became a household word. Another New Yorker by the name of Cleveland attained some celebrity by becoming President a brace of times. It was between his two terms that he took a hunting and fishing trip into the Attirondacks. ' Men in the woods become fond of their guides, ar.d the ex-President, after two weeks of fine .sport, had a special liking for-his. . He took the tall woodsman warmly by the hand when his vacation was over and hLs outfit packed for the return. "Bill," he said, "I've had the fun of my life this trip, and I'm grateful to you. The money I paid you don't settle the obligation. If there's anything I can do for you, Bill, let me know it right now." The ex-President meant what he said. "Well," replied the mountaineer, "I'd never aet ye ef ye hadn't offered, but seeln's as ye've offered, I don't know why I sh'd be bakcrd. Ye see I'm get tin' mighty tired of these yeller salerrttus biscuit, Mr. Cleveland, an' af ye would sen' me some of yer bakin' powder I'd remember it to my dyln' day." , Seeking Information. New York Journal: The telephone "bell rang furiously In the middle of the cold est night of the winter. "Is this Dr. (hie) Graves?" asked a rich, red voice. ; r ? "Yes." "Well, doctor, are you pre(hic)pared to Instantly attend a man who has taken poison and shot himself and (hie) hacked his throat with a razor, and then Jumped out of a third-(lilc)story win dow?" "Yes, air! Yes!" answered the promi nent hpyslclan, hopping around In his baro feet on the cold oilcloth, like a toad on a hot griddle. '.'Where is the patient?" ' "Oh, I haven't (hlc) found him yet," drawled the rich; red voice cheerily. "But If I sec a man before morning who haft I will let you know." I)t?t-ov*rei! by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made, and thut, too, by a lady Itt this country. "Disease fastened Its clutches upon her, and for seven years she with stood Its severeats tests, but her vital organs were undermined, und death seemed Imminent. For three months she coughed Incessantly, and could not sleep. She finally discovered a way to re covery, by purchasing of us a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, and was bo much relieved on taking the first doso that she fiJept all night; and with two bottles, has beon absolutely cured.

The atock market to-day was alter nately feverish and stagnant, closing at lowest with losses confined to frac tions In the railways, but ranging from 1 to 3 points elsewhere. The local se curltlea including Metropolitan Street Railway, Manhattan and Consolidated Gas and 8ugw and tho Grangers were the featurej. The Cuban situation wss (he all-important factor to-day, as it has been for a long time in the markets fluctuations. Prices rallied sharply at the opening on the assumption that there would bo more delay In dealing with the Cuban question. The change of attitude of the foreign finances toward American securities was used by tho bears to hammer the International shares at fre quent Intervals. The pressure against St. Paul, New York Central, Louisville and UniotvPaclflo preferred resulted In recessions of over a point as compared with the high prices established In re cent trading. The weakness of Spanish 4s abroad did not escape attention, as It was coupled with the announcement that the Spanish torpedo flotilla was proceeding westward. Washington sell ing emphasized the local speculator's In terpretation of the activilty In the navy department and the declaration in the senate by a recent observer of the condi tions In Cuba that the horrors there were impossible of exaggeration and called for intervention, was not without effect. These things taken collectively checked the momentary bidding up of price# whloh followed the senate's determina tion to adjourn until Monday. Cover ing of shorts from time to time harden ed the market tone, but this In each In stance failed to last The selling move ment in the final hour brought about the lowest level of the day. There was en gaged to-day for import one-third of a million in gold. The gold imports would have been muoh larger recently, It was said but for the purchase here of round amounts of seventy day bills of ex change. The bond market showed extreme dullness, but a tendency was evident to ward a lower level. The aggregate transactions were 3986,000. Government "bonds shared in the gen eral depression of the security markets with quotations for the active Issues showing losses in bid prices of Vi per cent except in the 4s registered of 1907, which lost Vz per cent.

Fine weather and war talk were about the only factors. Foreign mar kets showed no Inclination to sympa thize with the decline here, but no sup port was given to anything except May wheat, which was taken care of by Lel ter brokers. Wheat declined Vi to l^c. the latter in July. Corn declined *ic; oats %c and provisions 5@7%c. Wheat took a little Jump at the open ing, Influenced by the steadiness abroad and reported sales of 400,000 bushels. No. 1 Northern wheat by Lel ter caused first trades In July, were made at 84%c to 841/?c, very little changing hands at the higher figures. Five minutes later it was selling freely at S3*i@83?wc. There was very little In the way of bearish news, except the continuous argument of the price being rather high compared to that of former years, and tho excess of domestic re ceipts over other seasons. Chicago got 126 cars, against 8 last year; Minneap olis received 324 cars, against 313 cars the rear before. Sales of 160,000 bush els No. 2 red on Antwerp account and 25,000 bushels to millers caused a tem porary rally to near the opening prices, but was quickly taken advantage of by the bears, and prices slid off rapidly. Near the close a line of 1,000,000 bushels was liquidated through one house, and started a fresh decline. Prices touched the lowest point for July on the present decline, and closed practically at- the bottom. May opened YjC higher at 51 05, sold up to 31 05*4, reacted and closed at 31 04 bid; July opened higher at 84%@84%, declined to 82%c, closing at 82%@82%c. Corn was momentarily firm at the opening, but following wheat, soon turned weak. Late seeding, due to un favorable weather and very'1,moderate receipts were more than offset by al most entire abscnce of demand from shippers. Elevator men were fair sellers against purchases to fill the room made In their bins by outgoing wheat. Liv erpool cables were Hd lower for spot M*.y opened a shade higher at 2S%@29c, declined to 2S%c, whlch\was bid at the cloHe. July closed %c lower at 29%0)3Oc. A weak feeling ruled the oat pit* throughout the entire session. The rel atively high price of oats compnred with corn was tho chief card of the bears, who hammered the market free ly, and forced out considerable long property. Shipping and export demand were both good, but had little Influence In view of the preparations for another crop. The lowest prices of the day were current at the close. May opened a shade lower at 25%c, nnd declined steadily to 25-"JitfJ25,,?c. July closed ^4c lower at 22%?-23. , Provisions ruled dull and slightly easier. Hogs declined 5c on liberal re ceipts, and combined with the weak ness In grain led to some good-sized liquidation, especially In May ribs. The offerings were absorbed In the shorts, from whom only noticeable support came. ? May pork closed 7V:C lower at 39 02; May lard 5c lower at $5 00; March ribs unchanged ut 33 00.
