The chief topic of conversation this k
week has boon the sudden and unao- P
countable changes in certain business
place., and the collaspe of the Chicago b
grain speculators' expectations. Vari- ti
ous reasons are assigned for the bu <i- u
nes changes, and dilerent re plo be- I
leve diflerent stories. Some of the tales U
are scarcely to be credited, and it is said i
that persons of whom they are s
being told threaten to make the N
gossipers prove their assertions. It
isto be hoped if they make the at empt a
they will succeed, and not find them
selves in the predicament a certain 3
politician is sai( to have once found A

in quite "a state of mind" his wife w
asked what the matter was. "'hat t
scoundrel Jones called me a liar le'oro o
the whole meeting," he replied. "'lIht 11
that hadn't ought to annoy you," she P
s.id, "for he couldn't prove it." 11
"There's the trouble," ro.ired the hus- 1
band, "for ho did prove it." The rev- s
elation that has come with the closing I
uip of the grain swindling firms is rathe tl
startling to people who little guessed I
how the mania for speculation had per
vaded our community. For months the t
thing has been going on, and during that.
time scores, aye hundreds, of men and
women, girls and boys have been drawn I
into the seductive vortex and invostei I
from $10 to ,!b00, in many cases their i
little all, thinking to I ecoine wealthy.
The history of the matter is but a repi
tition of the old, old story of sivind'ers t
and swindled. A few months ago sev
eral persons received cireulars front
Chicago parties relative to grain specu
lations, purporting to show the enor
mous profits made by shrewd pur, has
ers, explaining the "iund scheme,'' and
offering the rocip'ent $1 on ecry *1(

months, and also smaller occasional
dividends. '1'his promise was, of
course, kept for a tine. and the
showing of the divide :d checks an1
profitable balance-sheets set lots of peo
ple fairly wild to get into it. Men and
women who had *0, ;* l ee or e. f"i,
saved by years of harl work, made haste
to invesL c no man who put. in a fcw
hundred dollars, after getting lils frsit
dilvidend-cheek, announced thait lie had'
given up working and was going i.: live
on the profits of his investment. Not
wilder were the dreams of the dupes of
Law's histor cal lississippi and Vest
India colonization scheme, nearly two
centuries ago, than were those of our
over-credulous grain speculattors. But.
they had a similar ending. Not the
least surprising featuro ,is that quite a
number ofl men were b tten who have
had the credit heretofore of '- lavinl
their o'c-teetlt cut.'' 'T'heso excuse
themselves by saying they knew the
thing was a fraud but, t.liought. they
could get t heir mono' back and more
with it before the :-clemie went up. A
business man who puilt in -.00 makes
no bones of frankly saying he has lost
every dollar of it. One of the worst.
features of the matter is that evon school
pupils woro inluced to thus early in
their lives begin gambling. Led by- one
of t heir associates several high si hool
boys investodI from $10) to ,Ti0 e ehi,
andl haivo lost. nearly all of it. If this
experience serves to keep thiem fronm
such things in future the lesson has not
been too dearly pa'd( for.
.Buit the blame of this state of aifairs
lies not wholly with these dupes)0 of (Chi
cago swindleors. Itather it falls oiin lie
meni of n salt.h and1 stand(ing in thle coin

The failure of Wiggins Is calculated
> undermine popular confidence in
rophets of all sorts, but particularly
eather prophets. To be sure Wiggins
is risen to explain; but the explana
on is worse than the failure itself, and
icreases the popular disappointment,
i it heaps failure upon failure. Thin
3 the storm was, the explanation is
hinnor. After Wiggins had failed, it
as a little cruel to Interview him, but,
'iggins was ready with his reasons.
.e said: " The astronomical day begins
noon on the meridian of London and
ir day begins at twelve o'clock at
ght. I overlooked this fact, so that
to side of the earth presented to the
anotary face was the opposite to that
hich I gave. I did not notice my mis.
,ke until this evening, so the storm fell
i the l'acitic instead of the Atlantie."

irious mistake in the calculations of t

"The Frodgral Son."
Now, there was a man who had two
eons.
And the younger of them said to his
father, "father, give me the portion of
goods that falleth to me."
And he divided unto him his living,
and the younger son purchased himlself
an oil-cloth grip-sack and got him out of
that country.
And it came t<o pass that ho journeyed
even unto Buckskin and tho country that
lieth over against Loadville.
And when ho was conic nigh unto the
gates of the city, ho hoard musio and
dancing.
And ho got him into that place, and
wlenl lie arose and went his way, a
hireling at the gates smoto upon him
with a slung-shot of great potency, and
the younger son wist not how it was.
Now in the second watch of the night
he arose and was alone, and the pieces
of gold and silver were gone.
And it was so.
And lie arose and sat down and rent
his clothes and threw ashes and dust
upon himself.
And he went and joined himself unto
a citizen of that country, and lie sent himg1
down into a prospect shaft for to dig.
And lie had never before dug.
Wherefore when he spat, upon his
hands and lay hold of the long-landled
shovel, wherewith they are wont to
shovel, he struck his elbow upon tho wall
s of the shaft whereini he stood, and ho
r poure<l the earth and the btoken rocks
against the back of his neck.
Aud he waxed exceeding wroth.
t And lie t ried even yet again, and he
hold! tht liandle of his shovel became
tangled between his legs, and to filled
11 his ear nigh full of decomposed slate,
e and the porphyry which is in that region
rotnid about.
o And lie wist not why it was so.
y Now, after many days the shovelers
with their shovels, aniil the pickers witlhi
I- their picks, and the blasters with their
e blasts, and the hoisters witlh their hoists,
it 1 iided themtt:selves together, and each
s said to his fellow:
e (lo to! I et us strike. And they stroke.
t And they that strake were as the sands
rl of the sea for nultitude, and they were
terrible as an army with bain.airs.
And they blew u1iponi the rin' horn and
rt the cortnet., and sach ut, aind the flute,
1 and the bass (irut.
' Now it caine to pass that the younger
sOnl joined not with tlemi which (iid

Y nor oni the Iiighyn, lest at any tirne they
that did strike should fall upon hit and

And no nman g,av<( unlto him.

how nutmty hir"ed servaits hati iy father

"No Place Like Home I"
There are a great many hou,os an(
more fnmilies yet, Iut very few
"homes." At least such homes as peo
ple like to stay in.
The poet remarks: Be it over so
hunbie, there's no place like home."
B4t the truth is, there are many places
liked better than home. Poets are apt
to slug about what they think should be
and ought to be, but not so much about
what really is.
" Hlome ' is about the last place sonic
husbands and fathers care to stav in.
Because the chimney smokes, the ehil.
dren cry, the wife is out of temper, tho
mother-in-law is more so, the house is
