George Ade and Others Beating Board of Trade.

Brook Reporter. The Chicago papers are giving our friend George Ade considerable advertising because he cleaned up $lO,000 in a recent flyer in com. While this is a neat little Christ-; mas present and George is to be congratulated on his good judgment in playing the market right, this is a mere bagatelle compared to the drafts the local crowd bring back from Chicago occasionally. Sometimes it takes two or three men to “bring home the bacon.” The extreme money stringency of last winter was relieved by a draft of $50,000 brought here and $20,000 placed in Chicago. Within the past few weeks another nice little sum was carried home from the windy city. But the local philanthopirts are too modest to have their names published an the paper.
