IIOOS There was n very heavy run of
hogs hero today, over lo.f'Oo head being on
sale. Tho demand, howcxer, was equal to
the oicaslon. ns Is shown by the fact that
everything wns sold In good season, with
me marKoi averaging oniy a snaiie lower.
Packers started In bidding mostly I3.W, or
2Vic lower, but sellers held on for steady
prices, nnd for that reason the market
whs u little slow In opening. Finally, how
ever, packet's raised their bids and began
paying J3.60 and At thoso prices the
hogs moved toward tho scales nt n I'apld
rato nnd It wns not long before practlcnlly
everything was out of tlrst hnnds. The
choicest trades sold largely nt $5.03 nml
as high nt J5.75 was paid for a nrlme load.
The lighter lions sold from 5.60 down. Thn
lost end or tne market was very near
steady with yesterday, so that the average
cost today Is only a shade lower. Repre
sentative sales:

"Rut whnt I started to tell you nbout. '

but both practices, got him orlglnnlly Into

tomod to propping himself luxuriously on
n pair of pillows with it book In one hand
nnd n pipe in the other, nccesMirlly expos
ing his arms nnd chest to the treichero'is
night draughts, and, needless to sit, n
continually catching tcrrlllc colds. That
was nothing, however, compared to tho
risk he rnn with his pipe, for ho would
frequently glide off Into dreamland without
knowing It nnd tho blamed thing wotiut
slip out of his band nnd set the bedclothes
011 fire. He nunc noir being cremated on
several different occasions, nnd between
the danger of perishing by cold on the one
hand and hent on the other he wax getlltig
In an unhappy frame of mind, when the
excellent scheme he now employs suggested
Itself.
"The cold problem he deserve 110 ciedit
for disposing of. 11s he solved it by adopting
a garment Invented by the Inr Eugene
Meld, consisting of an old sack coat nlth
the entire front part cut nwny, hack as
far ns the sleeves, All thnl N nrcefsnr
Is to put It on the wrong sldn In from

for thn pipe, my friend rigged up 11 minia

directly over his bend. At night It Is nt
Inched by sninll metnl Ffiap: to his big
meiMschaiim, and n weight nt the other

Uncle Sam Is not umnlly partial to Cnn

Its honest fnco It hears a llatterlug picture
of the lock on his Sault outinl. lining 11
personnge who takes n ilollnrs-nud-ceuts

vignette on 11 Dominion note Is something
more thnn n delicate compliment (o his

of very substantial service to him. Our

Issue of four-dollar hills our finance de
partment has Just let loose. Who would
travel by the Canadian canal after th"
Caundlan government gave such n certifi
cate, ns to the superiority of the American
lock? It Is true, our own cnnnl Is 11 gfHiid
work, one of the wonders of engineering
science, but the government fnneles the 0110
on the other side of the river more. Ah
these four-dollar notes pass from hand to
hand, tho wistful gaze of those who pnit
with them will rest on the American lock
the gateway through which the government
would direct their travels, Since thev canif
Into office the Canadian ministers have tried
to forget their old disparaging language
about our canals, and have lately spoken
very favorably of these. Rut mon'ev talks.
A picture of our Sault cnnnl, or of (itiii
other great Canadian work or scene, should
occupy the place given up to the American
canal. This foreign cnnnl look depleted
on our four-dollar bill Is a humiliation to

or something worse that will never be
forgotten. Specimens of Iheie four-dollar
hills will be preserved wherever there Is a
collection of monetary curiosities. Th"

"When a young man, rising to fame ns nn
author, Washington Irving fell In love with
Mathilda Hoffman," writes William Per
rlne. in the ladles' Home Journal. "To
his eye she was such nn Image of delicacy
and purity that his love for her grew Into
nn Idolatry. In the midst of his dreams
of future linpplness there came an over
whelming blow from which lie never fully
recovered. Mathilda was taken sick with n
cold; it rapidly turned Into consumption,
nnd It was his agony to behold her fade
away In a single winter, but In his sight
beautiful nnd more heaiitlful to the last.
During the three days and nights of her
flnnl sufferings ho did not leave her hoil'e
nnd scarcely slept. He wns at her hediddo
when she died; his was the last face that
she looked upon, and when the grave
closed upon her the world became blank
to him (11 his distraction. In the nlghn
of his first anguish after Mathilda's death
he would carry to his bed her bible and
nrayor book, and place them tenderly tinder
Ills pillow Ever afterward he kept them
with him In all of his many wniiderlims
nnd travels. When he died at flunnyslde
he had renched his three-srore-and-ten, 1111 I
his celibacy was still unbroken. There wns
then found 11 little repository of which he
hnd nlways kept the key. It was opened,
nnd there lay n faded memorandum which
told the story of his sorrow, a miniature. 11
braid of fnlr hair, and n slip of paper on
which ho had written 'Mathilda Hoffman,' "
