TUMBLE EXPECTED V IN FOOD PRICES Commission Men No Longer Able to Uphold Price. BANNER CROPS FLOOD THE MARKET Ctdcttens, Butter. Egg* and Other Ar Ucles of Cold Storage will be Thrown on Uie Market before May First, When a Big Drop In Trices Is Ex peeted. Chicago, Jan. 15.?Millions of pounds o!. butter, eggs, cheese and poultry tmld In the cold storage warehouses of Chicago will be thrown on the market before May 1 and a general tumbling of food -prices Is expected at once, according to commission mer chants. Numerous Chicago, eommis ufon men are said to be facing failure nu a result of their efforts to mnlntain an artificial price on the necessities Of life. The Inability further to hold this price is said to be due to a com. lunation of circumstances, chief of which are the open winter of 1911 and the banner crops of 1910. Three Already Down. Thnee commission men failed in the last week as a result of holding great uuSntitles of butter, which they pur chased and were unable to market for more than '11 or 28 cents per pound. While the wholesale prices of butter ;.ud eggs have dropped decidedly with in the last few weeks there has as yet been mj decline in the retail prices. Much of the produce which is to be unloaded on a falling market has been 111 the Warehouses at Chicago for as long as live years. By means of cold ? torage commission men have been able to maintain an artificial price OOl only to the consumer, but to the producer, it Is said. No public warehouse report is ever made here and the exact amount of produce In the hands of the Chicago firms can not be estimated Thirty-two ./arebouses are known to have II. (I 10,000 pounds of butter eggs and poultry. Ma) be Much .More. Men familiar with the market say would be Impossible to say whether ?? was only a small percentage of the utlre amount. The Increased sale of oleomargarine is given as an added cause for the ? ituation, the commission men now ?ind themselves facing'thousands of onsumers who. unable to pay the price at which butter has been held, have become users of oleomargarine, Butter is six cents a pound lower wholesale than it wbb a year agod and is selling at the lowest figure In sev ?-'Mtl years.

Celebrate Nuptials With Riotous Joy. When the day's work is doue the Russian moujik's recreations are of the simplest. Perhaps he dances or plays the concertina or sings some melancholy air. But when a wedding has to be celebrated and the priest has duly united the cou ple the peasants give" themselves up to the enjoyments of the- occasion. The writer well remembers peeping into the brightly lit rooms of a tiny two roomed log cabin where such a revel was in progress. The evening was a hot one. In one room, so small that only four couples could with difliculty wheel about, dancing was in progress. The perspiring couples had made up their mind9 to enjoy themselves. There was a kind of tlctermincd-to-sce-it-through look on their faces, and evidently they had great staying powers. In the same room, closely packed and lin ing the walls, were onlookers wait ing till a couple should drop out to take their place in the dance. The seer id room was laid out with refreshments. A side table groaned with all kinds of dishes dear to the peasant palate. One knife, one table napkin and one fork did service for the party, but sonic scorned even these aids and picked up here a sardine, there a hunch of melon or tore at a hard sausage. One thought of the cave dwellers and wondered what- refine ments they possessed when they ate. Vodka was being served out by the father of the bridegroom, and it was having its elVcct. One tall man was pointed out as the station master of a tiny wayside station near by. He was conspicu ous as being better groomed and less savage in appearance than his j fellows, and one heard afterward that the seductive charms of a wed ding feast made him forget on that evening his duty as signalman. A freight train waits two hours be fore a signal at danger, and then? for flie signalman is quailing his vodka and dancing at the wedding ' ?ine liuiu proceeds. T.M- dl'lVOl ? reports at the next town, Result? twb months afterward the station masler for neglect of duty in his capacity of signalman is degraded to. a charge at a smaller station. Surely such things happen in few other countries than Russia?Rus sia, .the land of a great future, but whose inhabitants in the n<ain are only . awakening out of sleep.? Chambers' Journal. Misplsesd Conductor. While rehearsing Beethoven's "Emperor" concerto for one of his London recitals the great pianist Rubinstein was at constant logger - heads with the conductor of the orchestra?a very good fellow, but far from a faultless wielder of the baton. Several times the eoncerto had been tried over, but always was there something wrong. At last, after attempting the finale for something like the eighth time, l{u binstcin suddenly stopped and eried out, to the vast, amusement of the orchestra and the confusion of the conductor: "Great heavens, Mr. Blank, you ought, to be conducting an omnibus! You are always be hind !" The French Father. The father in Franco is the rec ognized head of the family. In him is vested the clan tradition of au thority. The law is his right arm, as custom lias also handed to him the scepter of rulcrship. In many cases French law is tyrannical. How stringent, how oftentimes rig orously unjust, are tfie workings of marriage laws in Franco! A French son or daughter, though grown to the mature age of five and twenty, forfeits all rights to the continu ence of maintenance by marrying Without the parents' consent.? Anna' Uowman Dodd in Century. Runs on the Bank of England. Even the Bank of England has not boon entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of raving it self by strategy. In 1745, for in stance, it was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in six pences, the cash being immediately brought in by another door and paid in again, while anxious holders of notes vainly tried to secure at tention. In 1825, too, only the ac cidental discovery of 100,000 one pound notes saved the hank from stopping payment.?London Stand ard. Her Comeback. A voMifg man who had not been married long remarked at the din ner table i ho ol her day : "My dear, T wish you could make bread such ns mother used to make." The bride smiled and answered in a voice that did not tremble: "Well, dear, I wish you could make Cue dough thai father used to ?r.ake." Mr. Royster believed that success awaited the Manufacturer of Fertilizers who would place quality above other considerations. This was Mr. Royster's idea Twenty-seven years ago and this is his idea to-day; the result has been that it requires Eight Factories to supply the demand for Royster Fertilizers. F. S.
