"OIm Jack, don't be auch a baby.
Wait till you've eaten your dinner
before you start to cry for sweets."
"Sweet? I don't need any
sweets when you're sitting with me,
do I?"
Jill giggled.
'You're terrible, lion'," ahe sighed.
"It isn't floating island, it it?" he
6ked hopefully.
"Heavens, darlin', we can't have
floating island every night."
He finished off the chop.
"Come on with the dessert," he
said. .
Jill ulmked out into the kitchen
and returned with a small but richly
frosted cake,, a mount .of glistening
snow it looked like, the icing was
so splendid.
' "Ah!"
"Do behave, Jack," she warned.
She handed him a thick, opulent slice
of the cake.
It disappeared from Jack's plate
as if by magic.
Lome across with more, he de
manded. "Gosh, Jill, I didn't know
you made such wonderful cake. Why
don't we have it oftencr?"
"You are always begging for pics
and puddings," she reminded him.
"But I don't remember you ever
made any cake before," he said.
He managed a third slice.
"It's wonderful cake all right,
lion'," he mumbled with a mouthful
to manage.
"I'm glad you like it," said his
Jill-girl, but there was a lack of en
thusiasm in her voice.
"Is it much trobule to make?" be
asked, expanding under the soothing
intiticnce ot good food.
(The sage '.who wrote that the
way to a" man's , heart was through
his stomach was some sage.)
"Why ah " she hesitated.
He saw her flush and wondered at
Iier embarrassment.
"No, I don't think it's much
trouble," she said.
"Don't think it's much trouble?
Goodness, , dear, don't you know
whether it is or not? Do you make
it while in a trance or with the help
of the ouija board?".
Jill coughed.,
"Well, dear, you see I didn't
make it."
"You didn't make it? Say, htm',
you haven't gone and hired a maid
again have you?" .
She smiled at him provokingly.
"I bought the cake over at the
grocery store the very last minute.
I forgot all about desert tonight."
Her Jack-man stared at her.
"Jill, you haven't got a lick o'
sense," he said finally. "That cakti
is fine and you never should have
tipped me off that it wasn't your own
doings. But that's the way with you
women. Gosh, you'd pull some aw
ful boneheads if you were in busi
ness, Jill. Always take tredit for
what praise you get whether you
deserve it or not.
And Jill' made a mental note that
she would.

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By II. IRVING KING.
A Cure For Ervsinelaa.
A rather widespread .superstition
anions' those sriven in a , hMiVf in
folk-lore medicine is that a string of
green glass Deads worn around the
neck will prevent or cure erysipelas.
Many current superstitions are prac
tically harmless from , a physical
standpoint. They are merely : the
indulgence of an atavistic tendency
of the mind, a reversion, mentally,
to primitivism, which may result m
in unneauny . psychological state
but work no immediate physical
harm. But many of the supersti
tions of folk-lore medicine are of
positive bodily danger since they
induce people to attempt to cure
themselves by necromancy and de
lay calling in a doctor until it is
too late. .
Of such is the superstition under
consideration. The green glass
bead superstition is a survival of that
belief in the magic of gems so ancient
and once so universal, and so very
largely medical m its bearing. .Fliny,
the great Roman naturalist, wrote
very learnedly upon the curative
properties of gems about 2,000 years
ago and many a man, accounted
learned in his day, since Pliny has
done the same. Tn varirmd 9cre anrl
by various savants of bygone years,
various curative properties have
been ascribed to the emerald; and
me green glass Dead ot our current
A long list might be written of
the diseases for which at one time
or another, the emerald has been
recommended. They used to aoolv
it externally after the manner of the
green glass bead necklace, or in
ternally in the form of a powder. The
Arab physicians at the time of the
ncight of the Moorish power in
Spain highly recommended a "tinc
ture of emerald" to be taken intern
ally. Up to a period not much
antedating our revolutionary war
European druggists used to keep for
sale powdered gems. Dr. Kunz
quotes a portion of a price list of
one such German druggist wherein
a pound of "emerald" was offered by
25 cents; which would indicate that
the quality of the emerald was hardly
up to that of green glass beads nse'd
as emeralds in our present supersti
tion. (Copyright. lt, by Tha McClura News

WHY

the editor of a rural newspaper of
accepting blackmail when he ex
changes a year's Subscription to his

Estate that a merchant is guilty of
the same practice When he trades his
goods for farm produce, he would
probably be sued tor libel. But, as a-
matter of fact, he would be using
the word in lis primary sense.
In the early days of English his

word "black" and the French

Trade Review
ants in the form of work or grain,
in contradistinction to payments
made in silver or white money
(maille blanche).. Later, when the
feudal barons and free booters of
many kinds roamed the highways
almost at will, they collected "black
mail" in the form of forced levies of
goods and provisions from the in
habitants of the countryside or trom
travelers who fell into their clutches,
and the word, therefore, came into
such disrepute that, under the Eliza
bethan laws, the offense was made
a "felony without benefit of clergy.
It is dohbtless from this law and the
practice which necessitated it, that
the modern meaning of the word-
now synonymous with hush-money
or a bribe paid for the maintenance
of silence originated.- .

Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
An unusually potent gem is the
sard, which is today's talismanic
stone. According to one ancient au
thority, "God granted these stones
their beauty and. virtue lor the healtn
and comfort of the human race."
Damigeron writes of the sard, that
if worn by a -woman, it is a good
and fortunate stone. To be very
luckr. it should be engraved with a
design showing a grapevine and ivy
intertwined. -
The ooal. popularly supposed to
be unlucky, is the natal stone for
whose birth anniversary this is. In
this instance tne gem is a fortunate
one, particularly if the wearer, has
artistic talents, for the opal is be
lieved to bestow a changing tem
perament and magnetic personality
necessary to the artist, whether he
be actor, writer or singer. -
Ihe violet is the color prescribed
by the Orient for wear on this day.
If is particularly recommended for
those who are high strong or emo
tional. '
The fuschia Is today's special flow
er, its cheerful mfiuence is believed
to dispel sorrow. -

The Irregularity of business ha In
creased rather than lessened, but such a
tendency is not unusual at this rjeriod.
Unevennesa of conditions Invariably be
come more marked at the end of tne
year approaches, and the sharp contrasts
wnicn now appear are not unexpected.
With a seasonal lulr beginning in pri
mary branches as attention 1 diverted to
annual accounting, the general situation
presents a quieter aspect, although
tall activities broaden as pre-hollday
buying develops. Variable weather tn
different sections, however, . ha caused
some fluctuation of trade In consuming
channels, while the existing unemploy
ment of many workers remain an In
fluence In limiting the public purchasing
power. Recognition of this fact haa a
evident bearing on the selling policy ot
merchants, and offerings of goods at price
concession reflect ttie efforts being made
to stimulate distribution. Divergence -between
wholesale and retail prices, on the
other hand, 1 still regarded as an ob
stacle to commercial revival, and the
trend of demand toward staple and
lower-cost articles Is significant nf the
changed attitude of buyers. With the
practice of economy spreading, dealers
continue conservative In making forward
commitments; but month of gradual liq
uidation of stocks have necessitated re
plenishment operations in varioua quar
ters, and moderate-sized order have been
placed somewhat more freely. In isolat
ed Instances, a in certain textile divi
sions, new business has Increased uf fl-
clently of late to permit of full runing
of machinery, and to effect a reduction
of Idle labor in some cases. While the
prevailing condition In most Industries Is
one of restricted production, yet the rate
of output haa risen considerably above
the low point of last summer, and further
recovery in the new year i foreshadowed.
Commodity Prior More Stable.
The Increased tablllty of commodity
prices ha been a recent feature, and ia
again evidenced thla week in Dun' com
prehensive list of wholesale quotations.
Not only were fewer changes recorded,
but advances and declines were once more
about equally divided, the former being
lightly in the majority. While renewed
yielding haa lately developed in certain
marekts that had experienced recovery,
yet the main trend is toward a lessening
of price unsettlement, and the effect on
busineaa haa been favorable. In specu
lative channela, a further rally in cotton
after an extended decline ha attracted
attention, while wheat haa also ruled
firmer. The upturn in cotton price this
week, reaching about 17 a bale, was
partly due to smaller ginning figure
than expected, the official report being
a iiiui oeiow calculation. That the
crop baa been considerably underestimat
ed, however, 1 now generally recognized.

and moderate requirements. While the
progress of textile readjustment haa been
retarded by low prices on various farm

Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee I .eased Wire.
Chicago, Nov. 27. There is a de
cidedly more friendly feeling toward
the buying side of wheat among trad
ers, and while it is expected that
there will be numerous recessions
from time to time, the ultimate trend
is believed to be upward.
In some Quarters the oenet is ex-
Dressed that it would not be sur
prising if there were sensational de
velopments in Uecemoer wneat at
Minneapolis, where mills are under
stood to be the leading longs and
are said to want the grain, as springs
are selling above a delivery oasis
and there is no material amount
avaitahle. due to the short crop.
There is also a report tnat nortn-
western mi lis are not entirely satis
fied with the resu ts obtained lrom
th xneriments with Canadian wheat
so far, except from selected sam-
nles. a though tne use oi me im
ported grain is increasing in the east.
The latter has been unable to obtain
domestic springs in volume this sea
son nnrl there will be no accumula
tion for eastern distribution during
the winter, as is usually the case.
Many Look For Increase.
a Tnainritv nf trader are of the opinion
that cash wheat premium will Increase
as compared with the futures, the car
city of the choice milling grade bringing
about the advance, while futures may be
held In check somewhat by hedging Bales.
Should tho milling demand become ac
tive, it Is believed that the hortage would
become pronounced, aa out of the total
visible of 61,000,000 bushels there are
10.000.000 bushels at Atlantic and gulf
ports awaiting export, in addition to
6,000,000 bushels running to gulf ports
that cannot be brought back, on account
of the expense.
Under normal condition a strong ta
tistlcal position does not start to assert
Itself very materially until early In the
spring. The visible supply has started
to decrease nearly si weeks ahead of
normal and with light arrivals, tho trade
looks for it to be steadily reduced from.

Drouth In the southwest, while not a
serious market influence at the present
time, is attracting 'more attention. The
government report on December 17 Is ex
pected to indicate a condition of under
86, compared with a 10-year normal of
89, the excellent outlook outside of the
dry area being responsible for the relative
ly nigh ngure.
Foreign Purchases Heavy.
How much wheat will be needed by
Japan, China and other non-European
countrle remain a mystery to the trade.
The purchases by these countries and In
dia are exceeding estimates made by
European authorities, who have recently

Cattle Estimated cattle receipt today
were 10 cars, or 250 head, but they were
nearly all dlrecta and the market was
nominally steady. The week's run of
some 20,800 head la the smallest since
June, but the market has failed to bene
fit from the light receipts, as Monday's
advances on beef steers and cow were
practically wiped out on Friday' heavy
run. Fed steers are now selling largely
at $5.506.50 and cows at $3.60(3)4.26, the
market being almost back to the low
time of last week. Heifers show gains
of 26o or more for the week, but the tone
of the stocker and feeder trade ha been
generally easier, prices being weak to
26c lowr than a week ago.

Potatoes,
There ha been a marked fall In e off
in receipt 01 potatoes Into Omaha last
weeK. A total or 16 cars were rennrtwl
unloaded last week as compared with a
total of 36 cars the preceding week.
Prices reported last week were the same
as tnose reported a week age
Hay.
Recelots of hsy continued to fall nft
last week. A total of 60 cara were re
ceived at the tar exchange, as conmarpd
with 63 for the week before, and 69 for
the preceding week. Of the 60 cars re
ceived, 10 consisted or alfalfa and 20
for prairie hay. The demand continued
good, and this, toaether with the de
cline in receipts, caused nrices of the
better grades of both prairie hay and al-
laua to oe aavancea.
Poultry.
The poultry market took a necullar
turn tne middle or last week. Tee day
oerore Thanksgiving receipts of poultry
were unusually heavy, esneclallv on
dressed stock, and all the dealers were
swamped. Not only did this condition pre
vail in omana, cut eastern markets were
nable to handle any of this surplus.
Much of the stock that arrived consist
ed of light No. 2 stock. The demand for
No. 1 on all kinds of poultry waa good.
but the demand for No. 2 stock was light.
This condition caused a sharp decline
In the selling price of No. 3 stock, as
all the dealers were snxlous to move
their supplies. The heavy receipts came
too close to Thanksgiving to allow deal
ers to lower price in time to move all
this stock before the holiday, and it was
aecesearr to put large quantities into the
freeiers. RecelDts continued heavy after
Thanksgiving, earning dealers to lower
purine prices. Dealers are still offering
much' of this stock on hanfl at much re
duced prices. . .
. j ., "'.Egg.
The egg market remained unchanged
throughout the week. Receipts Just about
equaled the demand and prices remained
unchanged.
Butter.
The butter market showed no chane-e
in Omaha last week, although the east
ern markets were higher. The demand
for butter substitutes continued heavy.
Fruit and Vegetable.
The market on fruits and vegetables
showed more action- just before Thanks
giving than haa prevailed for some time,
but prices were practically unchanged
from those reported a week, ago.

New York, 'Nov. 27. Although
last week ended with a rising1 Hock
market, U w.n characterized m
whole by indecision on the itock
exchanitc. It i riigclt more reason
able to itippose that tliit attitude in-
dicated uncertainty over the course
vl trade than uncertainty over tha
renuUi of the Washington confer
ence. But thi very indecision o!
the atock market, in the face of fall
ing money ratrs, hat had a perfectly
natural result in the rising prices of
investment bonds and the public's
unusually active buying of them.
In a way, the action of that mar
ket represents the readjustment of
investment capital which was pre- .
dieted as a sequel to ending of tha
war expenditures, but which waa
long postponed. It is commonly
said that this movement of invest
ment values is a sequel to the 4 1-2
per rent reserve bank rate of three,
weeks ago and the 4 1-4 per cent
rate established a month ago on tho
treasury's short term certificates.

bonds, the past week has been chsrao-
terlzed either by purposeless and uncer
tain fluctuation (as In stocks) or else
by reaction, up or down, from a previous -level
of price reached under Impulse of

Christmas Presents vs. Burglars
After spending days in carefully selecting and
buying presents, wouldn't it be disheartening, ,
some morning, to find that everything had been
stolen during the night? .
Just glance at any of the newspapers, note the :
number of BURGLARIES DAILY and you will
readily see the necessity for BURGLARY
PROTECTION. ' ;
It is IMPOSSIBLE to KEEP BURGLARS OUT, but
you can obtain the SATISFACTION of KNOW- k
ING- that EVERY LOSS will PROMPTLY be
PAID, and your VALUABLES PROTECTED !
WITHOUT JEOPARDIZING either YOUR LIFE
or YOUR FAMILY'S. ;
BURGLARY INSURANCE costs but a few cents
a day. . 1
