Roll after roll the perspiring assistant brought out, but still she seemed dis satisfied. From her dress he judged her to be a person of wealth, and thought It likely she would have a good order to give. When at last he had shown her the last roll he paused In despair. "I'm sorry, madam," he said apolo getically, "but If you could wait I could get some more pieces from the factory. Perhaps you would .call again." The prospective customer gathered her belongings together and rose from the chair. "Yes, do," she said, with a gracious smile, "and ask them to send you one or two with very small designs, suit able for putting In the bottom of a canary's cage." Chicago Journal.

Highest I Chicago Speculation has gone wild in everything, especially in foodstuffs, with grains taking the lead. There has never been anything like the spec ulative buying and advancing tendency of values, as shown in the wheat mar ket of late. A 13-cent advance in 24 hours was followed by an eight-cent break and a 12-cent bulge. To Bee December wheat sell at $1.90 in Chicago, $1,971 in Minneapolis, $1.85 in Kansas City, $1,892 in Winnipeg, and $2.02 for durum wheat in Duluth, and $2.08 for the cash article of the latter variety in Minneapolis is something that the grain trade of today has never experi Predictions of $2 wheat at Chicago, which were not expected to be realized before next March or April, may be come a reality this week, unless some' thing develops to check the bullish en thusiasm and the heavy volume of buy ing, despite the fact that prices have more than doubled within about a year. Wheat prices are the highest since 1888, when the market was ar tificial. Present prices are legitimate, as prices the world over are abnor mally high. So long as nothing de velops to disturb the confident feeling existing among holders, there is no telling how high prices may go. The level, however, is getting so high, with the market a long one, that it is regarded as dangerous by many traders. The high prices are bringing out liberal quantities of wheat, as ideas of farmers are met by the advance and interior reserves are being reduced, while the visible supply is increasing, There is a general impression in the trade that the bulk of the cash Decem ber wheat in the United States and Canada is owned by foreigners and ex porters. They are expected to take a delivery of the cash grain in Decem ber. Cash corn sold up to $1.12J for No, 2 yellow last week, Or the highest since 1867. Corn at $1 a bushel and over looks high by comparison, but with wheat above $1.90 it is not out of line. Character Analysis.

ITHE BRITISH STEAMSHIP MARINA TOR PEDOED; AMERICANS REPORTED LOST London A private telegram received at the American consulate Monday af ternoon from Crook Haven says that a number of Americans were drowned when the British steamship Marina was torpedoed by a German submarine. London The American embassy Monday received a report from Wesley Frost, American consul at Queenstown, that the British steamship Marina had been torpedoed without warning. It is believed a number of Americans were on board. Lloyd's report says only 34 members of the crew of 104 have been landed at Crook haven. American Consul is now procuring affidavits from survivors. A report on the sinking on October 26 of the British steamship Rowan more also was made to the American embassy by Mr. Frost, who states that the vessel was torpedoed. Seven Americans, including five Filipinos, were on board the Rowanmore. Sev eral of them have given Mr. Frost affi davits stating that a submarine shelled lifeboats while they were being low ered and after they were clear of the ship, without causing loss of life. Newport News, Va. There were 50 Americans on the Britsih steamship Marina, reported torpedoed and sunk without warning in dispatches from London, when she sailed from Newport News. The Americans were signed here as horsemen. Washington, D. C. Dispatches to the State department say the Marina, when sunk, had a mixed crew of Brit ish and Americans and that 8he was sunk by gun fire without warning. Consul Frost at Queenstown speci fied that the information he transmit ted was "provisional." Investigation will be made at once to determine the status of the Marina and the nature of the attack to determine whether any of Germany's pledges to the United States had been violated.

No. 46, IBIS London A telegram received in Rome from a German source reports there are indications of the beginning of a tremendous new Russian offensive in Galicia and Poland, says a dispatch from the Italian capital received by the wireless press. Berlin The Russians have renewed their attacks on the Austro-German line west of Lutsk, in Volhynia, and war office announced Monday, deliver ing an assault Sunday after two days' artillery preparation in the vicinity of Zaturze. The attack, according to the official statement, failed completely, with heavy losses to the Russians.

Premium Paid to Holland. Washington, D. C A new arrange ment for diverting Dutch products un der which England will be assured of obtaining a greater percentage than she has been able to get by purchase in the open market in competition with German buyers was reported to this government. The report says England will pay for many Dutch agricultural products the same prices she now iB paying her colonies, the English government making good the difference between such prices and those paid by Germany. Negroes Moving North, Washington, D. C. More than 10, 000 men, mostly negroes, are said to have gone from Florida alone to Northern points, particularly Ohio, In diana and Illinois, to take employ ment offered them during the past two or three months.

Miss Mason was explaining to hei Sunday school class the lesson for the day, the subject being the tares and the wheat. "Now, remember, children, the tares represent the bad people and the wheat the good ones." Why, Miss Mason!" exclaimed a rosy-cheeked boy, who. had been lis tening through the lesson with deep Interest, "did you say the tares are the bad folk and the wheat the good ones?" "Yes, James," replied the teaoher, pleased at the lad's Interest. "Well, that's tunny, I think!" re marked the matter-of-fact child. "It'i the wheat that gets threshed; the tares don't."

C The next move of the United States in the controversy over the blacklist of American firms will not be determined until officials have had ample time to examine Great Britain's reply to the American note of July 28, protesting against it. The reply reached the State department Monday from the London embassy, Secretary Lansing said he had not de cided when it would be made public, The note refuses the American con tention, which termed the blacklist "an arjtrary interference with neu tral trade, " but is understood to offer methods of relief which may be avail able in some instances to lessen the rigors of interference. An American reply is almost certain to be made, based on the contention that the blacklist violates the criminal treaty of 1815; that in "singling out certain American firms, undue discrim ination is shown and that an illegal action is taken, designed to prevent trade with Germany and to end which should be accomplished through block ade and contraband restrictions. It may be argued that the blacklist is de signed to cripple firms trading with Germany to destroy German trade more than for the immediate purpose of war. Skilful Counterfeiter's Plant for Making Bogus Bills is Found Los Angeles A counterfeiting plant which was said to have produced the notorious spurious $10 Federal Reserve Jackson silver certificate, was found Sunday in the studio of H. Russel Wil ken, when secret service operatives from San Francisco brought Wilken here to seize the outfit after his arrest in Santa Cruz and his alleged confes sion that he had made and passed more than $50,000 of spurious paper in sev en years. The plant a copper etching outfit was found concealed in a covered sink in a room on the second story of 311 South Hill street, three blocks from police headquarters and in the heart of the city. Wilken's quarterB were fit ted up as a studio, and he pretended to carry on a business of commercial art, according to the authorities. There were easels, unfinished pictures, a painting jacket and brushes about, although Wilken apparently worked at his profession only enough to make it a blind for counterfeiting. Three Die in Two Auto Wrecks. Palouse, Wash. Roscoe Davis, age 22, and Alvin Siler, age 21, were found dead under a new automobile Sunday, two miles from here. There were no witnesses to the accident. The tracks indicate that the machine swerved and was jerked back so sud denly that it overturned. The ma chine was the first in the Davis family.

M"'MI All "Eats" Climb Higher Every Day Tacoma The unprecedented rise in food prices continued Wednesday, with potatoes and flour the chief features. Potatoes advanced $3 a ton and flour 40 cents a barrel. Yakima potatoes are now $40 a ton and locals $35, and indications are that the rise is not at the highest point yet. Jobbers say that the price of potatoes will not be lower until next August, and that they will probably go higher. The New York Bugar market advanced 10 cents and the effect is expected to be felt here in a day or so. Mr. Ultimate Consumer will have to tighten up his belt another notch. Grapes arrived in large quantities from California. The Yakima Con cords are off the market, due to a heavy frost. The late California grapes include the wine and black grapes. Some of the jobbers are giv ing the wine grapes other names be cause some of the purchasers fear the officers of the law will be on their trail as liquor manufacturers if it is known they bought wine grapes. The grapes are arriving in lug boxes, which sell at 65 cents. A few boxes of peaches may still be found .on the market. California head lettuce is now on the market. The fish market is flooded with dark fall Balmon. The run of these fish this year iB very heavy, forcing down the jobbing price to 5 cents a pound. As usual halibut and small tiBh are scarce. The meat market shows a firm tone, with tendency to advance. Eggs, butter and cheese prices remain unchanged. All kinds of canned goods bave gone up with the general advance, especially condensed milk. Wholesalers have re ceived notice that both Carnation and Astor brands were oversold and no more orders could be received for some time. Mount Vernon brand advanced 10 cents on the strength of this and the tone of the market. When to Begin If we all had our lives to live over again If we might start afresh and anew, What a Joy it would be tor us women and men, And what wonderful things we should do! How straight we should walk and how wise we should talk; How cheerful we'd be and how gay; But If we're in earnest about our re forms, Why don't we begin them today? We feel that we'd never be foolish and fling All our strength and our labor away, And we'd readily do each commend able thing, Without either nroflt or pay. But if we're so keen at reform to be seen, If we're pining to enter the fray, The question arises with pertinence now Why don't we get busy today? The days that are gone are most thor oughly gone, We can't bring them back If we try; But the. days that are coming roll steadily on, And no one can ever tell why. Unless It should be they're to help you and me Do sensible things while we may, They'll certainly help us to live over our lives, If we start out to do it today. Tacoma Labor Advocate.

Hop Market Has Slowed Down. Portland The hop market has quiet ed down at all points on the Coast. A small amount of business was reported in Oregons at 6 to 11 cents, according to quality. The Kentish Observer says of the English hop market: "Trade during the past week has been fairly steady. A demand has developed for coloury samples of new English hops, which are not so plentiful as desired, and sales have been effected at im proving prices, ranging from 120s to 140s per cwt. The lower grades have been freely offered at HQs to 106s. Roads Held Responsible. North Yakima Shippers of the Yakima valley met recently and decid ed to serve notice on the O.-W. rail way company and the N. P, that they intended to tender their fruit for ship ment and then hold the railroads re sponsible if it cannot be shipped for lack of cars. It is believed that there are over 4000 cars of apples yet to be shipped while it is almcBt impossible to get refrigerator cars enough. Fruit is coming in from the orchards at the rate of six cars daily for every one that is sent out. The Lost Art. The 4-year-old had just been re proved at the table.
