Conveyance of Illinois land including the site ol Chicago and other lands in the wilderness over 200 years ago, by the French explorer Chevalier de L.a Salle in his will just discovered the first will that conveyed lands in "Xew France" recites the property conveyed thus: "All my rights in the country of the Miami.

Francois Plet, my cousin," he said in the will, "for the signal services which he has rendered me in my most pressing necessities and because it is through his assisce that I have preserved to this tiiNJt'ort Frontenac, I give, grant and trafnpr to said M.

ALL EYES DIRECTED TOWARDS CROPS

Those Who Have Fingers on Business Pulse Particularly Interested.

WILL CHANGE CONDITIONS.

PRESIDENT OF ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD SAYS BUMPER CROPS WILL HAVE ENCOURAGING RESULT.

Chicago, June 13. Prosperity is returning rapidly, the wholesale houses here feeling much more of its stimulus than industrial interests and railroads, but all lines of business are watching the crop prospect with more eagerness than ever before, and hopefully, for good crops and good prices are predicted. President J. T. Harahan of the Illinois Central railway, one which is very dependent on agricultural prosperity said: "Beneficial results attending a bountiful crop will have an encouraging effect upon business generally, and I think that as soon as crop conditions throughout

the land are assured there will be a gradual resumption of general business activity." Dun and Bradstreets reports point out the all-importance of the successful moving of the crops which, includes the Imperative need that the system of crop marketing which cares for the surplus at harvest be not disturbed by unwise legislation. In checking the evil of "bucket shops" which do not deal in real commodities, Oklahoma recently enacted a law which for lack of discriminating provisions drove out of the state the legitimate board of trade interests as well as the bucketshops. In expectation of the successful mo-Ang of the crops in the west the manufacturing interests that center here are gradually increasing their forces, as are those in the east The coal business has not yet felt this increase, and the lumber business has had an enormous falling off, awaiting a revival of building when the money frm this year's crop is put into circulation. Only a fraction of the crop will be needed at the time all of it Is harvested, but the system of exchanges furnish a market where speculative interests can and do carry the major part of the load under the future delivery system which begins with the farmer and ends with the consumer. That the commercial and banking interests were right in denouncing attempts to cripple this system has had recent illustrations in the south, where similar attempts in respect to cotton curtailed the market and reduced prices, while last year the active market of the exchanges advanced the value of wheat hundreds of millions of dollars.

" Love's Avakeriing. lie criticised her puddings, and be didn't like, her cake; he wished she'd make the biscuit that his mother vised to make; she didn't wash the dishes, and she didn't make a stew, and she didn't mend his stockings, as his mother used to do. Ah, well, she wasn't perfect, though she tried to do ber best until at length she thought her time had come to haTe a rest So when one day he went the same old rigmarole all through she turned and boxed his ears, just as his mother used to do. Though something about her struck him when first her form he scanned, that something, you may rest assured, was not her darling hand. Alas, that rough awakening from love's delicious dream! It soured the milk of mutual love to anger clotted cream. So o'er the tiff they parted, a thing that oft occurs. He went home to his mamma, and she went borne to hers.
