"We have had generally hlli wheat

fr ft stiff market for another year, and
perhnp longer, for while the world
demand ofr the cereal i constantly

other countries the yield per acre I
falling Instead of advancing.
"Pew if any grain crops wear the

ELIJAH AND THE RAVEN'S.
A Story Which Did Not Fit This Par
ticular Minister's Case.
North Carolina probably never pro
duced 'an ul;lcr preacher than Dr.
Francis L. Ilawkes, who once was
pastor of Grace Episcopal church, New
York. Short, thick set swarUiy, black
eyed nnd Wnck haired, he was n strik
ing personage. He was uot ou!y a
great pulpit orator, but considered' the
best reader in the New York episco
pacy. Ilia rather luxurious family de
terred him from accepting a bishopric,
which would have otherwise been
tendered. One day n delegation from a
Ituffalo church waited upon him and
Invited him to accept a pastorate in
thut city.
"Well, la'iitlemcu, other things bel"s
satisfactory, the question of accept
ance narrows down to n business r.:::t
tor." said Dr. Hnwkes. "What aalarj
do you offer?"
"Dr. Ilawkes," said the spokesiu::n.
"we recognize that you have a 1i1k'.i
reputation nnd nre wlllliiB to be lib
eral. Our recent pastor received !?2,
500, but on account of your, stnpdln;:
we have decided to offer you '$3,500."
"My Rood man," cried the doctor,
"do you know what salary I am receiv
ing here?"
"Xo. sir."
"I got $15,000 ur.i! this parsonage,
and, as I havo'nn expensive family, 1
do not seo my way clear to accept your
offer." ' .
The spokesman looked rather sheep
ish, but made n not her essay.
"If we had known that, sir, we
would undoubtedly have looked else
where, but you should remember that
the work of- the Lord must be done,
nnd, as for providing for your family,
you know the story of Elijah and the
ravens."
"Now, my friends!" responded the
clergyman quizzically. "I have made
the Rlblo my study ever since I was
twenty-eight. 'I have read It through
carefully and prayerfully over 100
times. I remember the raven inci
dent perfectly, but nowhere can I find
any reference to the Lord's providing
for young Ilawkes."

THE CHARTER OAK.
Bells Tolled and Funeral Dirges Played
When It Fell.
The charter oak of Hartford was a
white oak. The story goes that when
James, duke of York, ascended the
throne of England and sent Andros to
take away all colonial charters Con
necticut alone refused to surrender
hers. Andros was furious over this
defiance, and Oct. 31, 1687, be returned
to the assembly ball of Hartford with
a body of soldiers and demanded in
stant surrender of the charter, which
lay in a box on the table. A hot dis
cussion followed. Finally Andros
stretched out his band to seize the
disputed paper. Then the candles
were suddenly extinguished, and the
people who had gathered on the street
outside rushed In a disorderly crowd
Into the hall. There was a period of
wild confusion in the dark, and when
the candles were finally relighted no
charter was to be found. It had been
removed by Captain Wadsworth and
concealed in the oak, which ever after
ward bore its name.
The oak was even then old. "When
the first settlers were clearing their
land the Indians begged that it might
be spared. 'It has been the guide of
our ancestors for centuries, they said,
'as to the time of planting our corn.
When the leaves are the size of a
mouse's earn, then is the time to put
seed into the ground.' The Indians' re
quest was granted, and the tree, after
ward becoming the custodian of the
lost charter, became famous for all
time. It fell in a windstorm. Aug. 21,
185G, and so deeply was it venerated
that at sunset" on the day of its fall
tha bells of the city were tolled and a
band of music played funeral dirges
over its ruins.
At the time of its fall Its circumfer
ence one foot from the ground was
twenty-five feet, and it was estimated
to be over 000 years old. Kansas City
