' It Is a long lane that has nourn," runs the old proverb, and the turn In the prices f all grains came with the cessation of rains yesterday and today. The bear who foretold the decline a day ago did not go far amiss. Lower prices surely came and the holders made not a little sou file for a time to sell. When they found rood buyers, prices would waver and perhaps regain a ahade, but yaluea could not main tain auch fabulous figures aa ruled the two days past. Still further declines are looked for Monday, unless the weather man is badly mistaken. Weather which put prices out of reach during the paat week proved aa equallv rotent at depressing, them. Hardly had he sun shone on harvested fields ot wheat and half-drowned growing corn, after ten or twelve days of downpour, than values began to wofiken. Then came the forecast of fair and warmenr weather, the long-looked-for, over the entire west and south west. Showers, as predicted, will be few and well scattered over the great terri tory. At Chicago the longs saw how things were going end liquidations followed. Sell ing brouRht lower values in all lines and the market closed from a cent to a half cent off in all lines. There waa ahaolutely no trading In fu ture stuff at Omaha today. A fairly good cash market waa act up and some cash business, done. There were offerings In rwita, but the holders could not tempt those who were in need because of fancy prices. The news, of the proponed construction of five elevatora here la beginning to show Its effect on the market. In that local elevator men are anxious' to get winter stuffs on the long side. While this was not demon strated today, aa there was practically no trading In futures, the sentiment has been apparent for some time past, and If values strike a moderate level within the next two weeks Omaha's prospective elevator men will be found to be on the buvlng side. Warm weather should bring about a more brisk session each day at the 'change. The floor has been almost deserted during the last few weeks. With the movement at July stuffs business will receive a stimulus nd activity In all lines may be expected. There Is a good demand at Omaha for corn, but receipts continue to be light. There Is a prospect of heavier receipts dur ing the coming week, but nothing mora than-can be easily taken care of.

The run of the week also shows a considerable increase over a week ago, but several thousand head less than for corresponding week laat year. The market tna last few days has been much more satisfactory to sellers than has been the case In some time and values on beef steers are quoted today 16g26o higher than low time Wednesday, the situation has materially Improved i all around. To day's market ruled nominally steady, with a limited number oh sale. The cow market has also been satisfac tory the past week and fluctuations in that division were much , less marked than In beef steers. -The kupuly. 'While only fair, Just about equalled the1 demand, conse- ?uently prices show no material change ram a week ago on good grades. Thin stock fared rather poorly arid common can ning grades are tending ' lower from day to day. , . , There waa little life In the feeder division during the week. Yard traders took care of the few arrivals, but at prices not overly satisfactory. The country demand contin ues slack and the trade Is more or less un certain St the present time. HOGS The market opened- rather slow, mostly about 2 Vic lower, at which basis trading was largely done. Packers started in to bear the market and first sales were at the decline noted. Later conditions im- r roved slightly and after the first round he trade strengthened slightly, when good grffdes sold pretty close to steady at yes terday's basis. Fcr the week the trade fluctuated Con siderably, ruling higher at the start and finishing lower later, with prices today showing only about steady with last Sat urday. Receipts for the week show quite an Increase, while the quality continues very good. Hogs are selling again at a narrpw range, good hogs of all weights selling In practically the same notches.

A neatly dressed stranger drifted Into a downtown saloon a few evenings Sgo and Invited all hands to join him at the ma. hogany. The Invitation was accepted and while the drinks were being served one of the stranger's guests Suddenly clapped his hand to his Jw and exclaimed: "There goes that gosh danged tooth again t" "Toothache?'' Inquired the newcomer, sympathetically, as he placed a gold piece on the bar. "Bet It does," replied the sufferer. "Never had h toothache," remarked the stranger, "but I don't think it wou!d bother me much. Don't seem to know what pain Is." ..His auditors looked incredulous. To prove his assertion the stranger jabbed himself in the right leg with a scarf pin. "Guess Tov'dtdri't drive it In very hard," said the bartender. Tv4 got $S that says you can't hurt me," boasted the man of no feeling. "If It wasn't against the rules to bet while on duty," replied the cocktail mixer, "I'd v take you up and make you Jump skyhlgh." Too bad that you are losing suoh a chance to make easy money," sarcastically replied the stranger. "I'll take that bet," replied the mix ologist with a show of anger. One of the party Was selected stake holder and the sa!oon man came from be hind tht bar. Taking the scarf pin from the stranger who had extended his .right leg -to receive the Jab, the bartender made a quick forward lunge and the man who didu't feel pain let out a sharp, shrill cry and started for the door without waiting io withdraw the pin. , Th4) money Iras turned over to the saloon man and he Invited the crowd to drink at his expense. .But the man with the tpotbacfre' did not' wait for the treat. "I was . on to their game," explained the drink dlspehser. 'The leg he Jabbed is cork, so I gave him the pin in the good one. The fellow with the toothache Is his pat.

Finally to Make Mis Ideas Flow at Will. "When I first set out upon my raree aa a writer," said the retired literary man. "I used to have days, aa I suppose all writers do, when I couldn't write, when the muse turned her back on me and the divine afflatus positively refused to affiste, when my Ideas aeemed mixed with gluo and wouldn't flow, and I laid down my pen In despair. But I cured myself of that falling finally, in the simplest way In the world. "I waa living In the country then, otk my father's farm, and we used to aaw our own wood for use In the house. We had. one of those old-fawhloned wood sheds with wood corded up In It on one side, and an oldtlme sawbuck and bucksaw standing on the dirt floor In the middle, that we used to saw up the wood with; and what I used to do wns this: "I had made it, even at that early period, a cardinal principle of my life that I should never be Idle; and In those days when, on sitting down at my writing, I found thnt the muse wns not smiling on me and that likewise D. Afflatus had the noxxle of his bellows pointed In the other direction, and that some careless person had upset an other pot of glue In my Idea box and I simply couldn't write, why, I would say to myself: "'Well, old man, If you can't write,. you csn saw wood, anyway. It doesn't taks an awful lot ot brains to be ablo to do that;' and then I used to mosey out to the wood shed and saw about two dosen sticks of hard oak and hickory. "And that did me good physically, and aa a rule It would start up my Ideas, too, and I'd go back to my desk. "And then I'd keep on till I struck an other time when I simply couldn't write, and then I'd take ta the bucksaw again. "But do you know that finally I got so that I had to saw but very little wood to start my idess flowlngT And at last I got so that Just getting up from my desk and starting .for the woodshed, ' would set 'em going; for as an honest matter of fact I did hate to saw the wood, and I would give my ideas an awful wrench rather than do that sawing business and nt the same time I was bound not to sit down and dose away the hours till my Ideas started up ot their onto accord. I must write or saw wood. 'And in the end I got so that -1 could control my Ideas and make 'em flow, and before we moved to the city I didn't have to saw wood at all. 'But I brought the old sawbuck and buck. saw with me, and I kept it, as I do to this day. In the room right next to my study; and If ever I sat down te my literary work and found things going slow, why I would get up and go Into that next room and look at the sawbuck and bucksaw and then I'd go back and find the muso, If not facing square toward me. at least edging 'round my way, and the glue In my Idea box soft, ened enough so that I could persuade my Ideas to flow. And at last I got so, for good, thnt I could make 'em flow whenever I sat down to write. The muse may be coy at times, no doubt she sometimes is, but even then she may be won. If wooed In downright earnest, or say with the alternative of sawing wood. If you can't do work with the. pen."
