PATTLB-ShliSrwr mivrn evidently' afral'l
of election day nnukct. aa receipt of all
kinds 4f atock this morning were extremely
light, and. In fact, the yarda has much the
appeaattnee of a Saturday. The demand
from all sources sua as brisk as ever, and,
aa av result, everything ! sight changed
hand at .better prices than were paid yes
terday. Thero were only about forty-six cars of
cattle on sale, or scarcely enough to make
a test of the market. Cornfed steers could
safely be quoted active to strong and as
high as 3fi.u0 was puldv which looked con
eidersbly higher than the ssme kinds sol.1
for laat week. '
Very few western range beef steers were
on the market, but those that did arrive
were picked up In a hurry at prices rang
' ing strong to a dime higher. Packers
seemed to be very anxious for supplies, and
as the receipts were so light, they were
obliged to pay more money for what they
got. Nothing choice arrived with whloh
to put a good top on the market.
Cow stuff was also In brisk demand
and salesmen In- most cases were able
to get a little more money than they
could yesterday. The market could prob
ably best be described by calling It active
and strong to a dime higher. Everything
changed hands at an early hour.
Bulls, veal calves and stags commanded
fully steady prices.
There were Just few odd bunches of
stockcrs and feeders on sale, and, as' would
naturally he expected, the demand was
rather limited, owing to the fact thst
I 't rmers are staying home to vote instead
of coming to market to buy feeders. The
few cattle that were offered, though, sold
readily enough at steady prices. Kepresen-

SIGNAL SERVICE EFFICIENCY
Kerr Method of Transmitting- Intelli
gence In War Adopted by the
Signal Corps.
Where the nature of tho country and
conditions will permit, the reels of wire
and tho batteries are carried In wagons.
The line la laid on the ground as rapidly
as the horse can advance. If the line so
laid is to become permanent, a detail fol
lows the wagon at leisure and attaches
the wire to the trees or hastily erected
supports. For flying lines, or lines in the
tone of action, lines connecting the com
mander's headquarters with the various
divisions, the detail following the linesmen
merely lay the wire in protected places
where It Is least likely to be damaged.
Tho lines may be taken up, moved or
abandoned, aa the occasion requires.
Where the nature of the country or other
conditions render the advance of the wagon
Impossible' or inexpedient, the line Is ad
vanced by men carrying colls of wire on
their shoulders. A scout advancing Into
the enemy's country beyond tbe . point
where the wagon must -Stop Is accompanied
by a telephonist, who uncoils hit line from
his shoulders aa he movea forward. To
the Inner end of the coll Is attached the
telephonist's instrument. Thua he is able
at all times to report the scout's observa
tions direct to the scout'a commander and
to receive instructions, from headquartera.
When the scout Is called or forced to fall
back, the line may be recovered by the
telephonist or abandoned after cutting the
Instrument loose. If the scout Is taken,
the operator at the other end of the wire
la made Instintly aware of the capture
by the cessation of signals, and the line
Is useless to the enemy.
It will be seen that the use of the tele
phone in the field eliminates the time ele
ment in the transmission of orders and in
telligence and guarantees against mistakes.
It also affords the means of communicat
ing orders with absolute secrecy.
Frequently In great battles It has oc
curred, as in the first battle of Manassas,
that batteries were kept Idle for hours
and much-needed reinforcements held 'in
check with resultant disaster because the
meany of rapid communication was lack
ing. It has .occurred, too, that a retreat
at one point and an attack real or feigned
at another would have' saved an army
from- defeatmovements that - were not
made because tho commander- lacked In
formation of whet was taking place at
those polntts. or If he was informed lacked
the means of promptly ordering the neces
sary moves. That the commander of to
day l at no mich disadvantage Is made
cleur In the accounts from Manassas of
week before last and the reports of the
efficient work of the signal corps.
The tactics of today are based, as were
the tactics of other days, upon the assump
tion that the oppoolng forces are equally
well equlpr-fd with death-dealing weapons,
and ihnt In a general why all suldlers are
men of great physical courage. But tha
operations and strategy of the older time
would not do for today.
As has been stated, modern weapons are
In a great measure responalble for the new
tactics, but the strategic operations of
modern warfare are made possible only
by the 1 Ighly developed efficiency of mod
ern methods of transmitting intelligence.
The Importance of a superior Intelligence
department was shown by the operations
of our forces during the war with Spain.
It la- more clearly shown In the operations
of the Japanese against the Russians,
where other things, to all intents snd
purposes, are equal.
The birth of the modern signal corps oc
curred, as has, been shown, , during our
civil war snd Immediately after the battle
of Munassat, and while much In the way
of advance has been accomplished from
time to time by other nations engaged In
war, It is not claiming too much to assart
that the intelligence departments of the
armies of the wotJd are in great degree
patterned after the signal corps of our own
army. Philadelphia Ledger.

Molly and the. New Prince
A Short Slory by Waller E. Grogan
"You must be the prince." said Molly,
not st all surprised to see him.
"Eh?" said the small. 'elderly man. who
had shuffled In. "Me. my dear: No. I'm
Opklns. BUI 'Opkln. my dear I wants to
see your pa. which the young woman as
opened the door says Is hout. 'Asty tem
pered." he went on. contemplating a peaked
cap that some years ago had changed ltt
habit of black for brown, and putting It
on again very cautiously, "as will never
make a good wife. The.ti sort s ths mak.ng
of public 'ouses. they Is."
"Oh, of course." said Molly, confiden
tially, tucking her small black stockinged
legs very luxuriously under her on a mat
and shaking back curls that Were Invari
ably trying to hide her eyes; "or course,
you are the Beast now."
The room was very bare, and Molly made
the most of the one little mat. Everything
looked as though It had got up quite early
and was waiting to go out. A chair. In Its
eagerness, bad Jumped on a big chest, and
the table had edged close to the window.
Her father had told her they might have
to move In a great hurry.
"Oh, my dear, I 'opes not:" The little
old man In the rusty green ulster looked
quite grieved. He was a nervous, shsky
old man, with a strip of whisker under his
chin, which stuck out like an Immature
fringe, whiskers and scanty hair that
would have been gray if they had been
anything definite. But they were not self
assertive enough to be any decided hue,
and were as Indefinite as everything about
their owner. Including himself. O I'm not
much to look at, and the young woman
who tried to' stop me when I was coming
in to see your pa,' my dear, did say the
same; but I soped as 'ow that was merely
r 'asty temperedness. I "opes not. I
"ave my feelln's. my .dear I don't boast
on 'em, no. Bill 'Opklns ain't no boaster
but I 'as 'em, an" beasts don't 'ave no
feelln's."
The door opened suddenly about a yard
and a dirty face, surmounted by a dirtier
cap, was thrust In. It belonged to Liza,
the small maid of all work In the small
house In the long row which was Molly's
home, and for which the landlord looked
very foolishly to Molly's father for rent.
Liza was aggressive. She often was.
Molly's father said she was Invaluable
when creditors were In the case. Other
wise, he would add, that term was not
wholly applicable. It was really aston
ishing that her clothes were Invariably so
dirty, because there never seemed to be
any loss of dirt in the house. And she
contrived to break quite a large number of
articles, considering that many were en
trusted, probably for safety, to a gentle
man around the corner, whose house was
decorated with three comparatively golden
balls.
"You vllllan, you sneaking Mppercrlte!"
she said, and slammed the door. The
voice was so loud, when you considered how
small Liza really was, and the slammed
door so sudden, that Mr. William Hopkins
jumped and gave a gurgle of alarm.
"Oh, you must be the Besst," said Molly,
following out her original Idea.
"Don't you believe herl" the old man
said, gaspingly. "It's er 'asty temper.
I'm not no beaut I'm a ten-pound fran
chiser, I am. What she 'as agen me let
her up an' say, and I don't see no, I don't
see not no'ow as I fan say fairer nor
that."
' Molly understood nothing of this speech,
which was not surprising.
She regarded the strange visitor very
closely from the vantage point of the
hearthrug. Then she rose slowly and went
over to him. '" "
-Oh," ahfr erd." coaxfngly, ' "you ' must be
the Beast. I want you to be the Beast."
The door opened, 'ami the apparition of
the dirty face and the dlrtfer cap appeared
again.
"Toa strplnt!" cried" I.lza, yen- loudly.
"Oh, you wrecker of 'omee, ysu destroyer
of the fatherless which It should be moth
erless, pore thing, and those who are hop
pressed!. Oh!", The door slammed again
In as precisely a noisy fashion as before.
The old man jumped In a highly alarmed
manner and then ssnk nerveless Into a
chair which creaked. From a cavernous
pocket In his pea jacket he produced a huge
red handkerchief, with large white straw
berries on It at least they had at one time
been white.
"Drat that gel!" he said, feebly; "drat
that gel! I 'opes she'll marry a Black
Lister, I do. I only 'opet that."
"I was going to ask you to take a chair."
said Molly, politely. "It s all right if you
don't wriggle. If you do. it comes un
stuck. Liza," she added, "Is 'cited ' todsy.
I think It's washing. Washing Is very wear
ing to the temper."
"I don't know much about washing,"
Mr. William Hopkins observed, reflectively,
"but I should think as It was a very wear
ing to the temper. Leastways, If she's bin
washing. But she don't look like It," he
added, shaking his head; "she don't look
like It."
"But you will be the Beast?" Molly per
sisted. "You see It's rather lonely here
all day by yourself, and dolls aren't In
telligent at least, you have to put in all
the 'telllgence yourself."
"'Ave you?" said the old man.
"Of course, they aren't real. But you are
real."
VI suppose so," assented the man, look
ing apprehensively at the door, "but If
that there tornado keeps on a-comlng in
and blowing off, blest if I shall know.
Seems to me. my dear, that I'm 'azy now
aa to whether I am on my 'ead or my
'eela."
"Oh, you're on the rickety chair. You
know the story of 'Beauty and the Beast,'
Mr. 'Opklns?"
"Csn't say as I do, my dear. I 'ear so
many things and reads on 'em, too, In
Lloyds'."
"Oh. thia is a fairy tale. I'll tell you."
The door opened again suddenly, snd
Mr. Hopkins wriggled. It was fatal. The
chair became unstuck, snd the little old
man sat down hurriedly on Its remains.
"The 'all's the place for slch as you. Oh,
you old sinner!" Lisa shouted triumph
antly over the fa lies old man.
"I come In 'ere," protested Mr. Hopkins,
tremulously, "as being safer like."
"Mr. 'Opklns Is talking to me. Lisa."
said Molly, with the accumulated dignity of
ten years and a visitor.'
"That's It!" exclaimed, Lisa, stabbing
hairpin robbed from the back of her heal
Into the cap that had broken from ltt
moorings and was flopping over her left
eye; "that's It! A-bumbooillng the 'eart
of a young Innerccnt! Do we And you?"
shs demanded thrrateningly. ;
"I ain't loot," said the old man. "Least
ways, I don't know. I may be. Such
treatments upsets me. I never did no,
not never," he concluded, lamely.
"Oh, no, I dare say, not by no means.
Always received with open arms, o' course,
and taken In and done for as one of tho
fambly! I'd like to 'ave the doln' o' you,
you old scaregrow! you'd be done for, so
you would!"
"I ain't done nothing to you; I onlv
wants to sea Mr. Halgernon Runstone, I've
got a dockymtnt for im most important!"
"A dockyment! Yes, I knew you and
your docymenta. You wouldn't 'ave got In.
honly I didn't know a you was expected."
-'I wusn't.''
"Oh! What I says Is, do we And you?"
"As 'ow?" The old men. who had risen
by this time snd shuffled cautiously across
tha room, peered anxiously across the table
he had placed between him snd the irate
fS54 and cap.
"Nona of .'our persiflage, old oary 'eaded
destroyer ot 'appy 'omti'. Beer and tit
tles?" "I could." stld the old man. reflectively.
"I could do with srf a pint, thsnking you
'andsomely."
"None of that." Liza observed. In such
a tone that Mr. Hopkins nervously clutched
the table and jerked down two frsined
photographs of a very astonished infant
trying to lite a tot two Inches sway.
"None of that! If we finds you. we finds
you.' but we don't want nunc 6f your '
cheek. You're short of It as it Is sin t
much more then ugly skin don't gel givln'
It away."
With that the door shut again, proudly
rivaling a pompom In the nose It made,
and Mr. Hopkins said. "Oh!" very loudly,
and tried 'to turn It Into a cough.
"Liza Is very noisy todsy," said Molly.
"I'm glad dad Is not at home. You see,
he has to think when he Is writing, and you
ought to be very tlptoey, then. Lisa can't
be. She says she thinks he was born In
a thunderstorm, and that makes her noisy."
"It must 'av been In a vrry "eavy
storm, my dear a uncoir.mon eavy stotm,"
observed Mr. Hopk n.
"But you don't mlr.d, Mr. 'Opkl.'.s. do
you? You don't write. Ycu never have
headaches?"
"Sometimes.' my dear. In the mor.-.l.ig
when I've 'ad a stroke of luck but not
often."
"Dad has them mo-t days; he says they
are the price you have to pay for being
a genius. He's a genius that's why we
are so poor."
"Pore! Pore, my dear? Iorltimme, this
ain't so bad; I've been worse a table and
chairs, and a mat and a chest, and a help
or things. What helse do you wtnt, that's
what I hanks?"
"Oh. lots of things. But now Oh, you
are the Beast, snd It will come all right."
"Eh? Me! 1 uln't no beast, my dear.
I'm a 'ard working man leastways would
be If there was any work. But work ia
scares."
"I mean the Beast In the tale."
"The BeaM wlf the tall?"
"You know who becomes a prince after
wards.'" "Me a prince! Ho, I say! Me, Bill 'Op
klns, a prince! Come, that's a bit strong.
And who are you?"
"Oh, you see," said Molly, confidentially,
'I am Beauty. And tecau's my fath r
takes a rose from you"
"Being "ungry?"
"No, no. Why should he be hungry?"
"Well, he shouldn't ought to pinch
bloaters' roes unless he Is. But there, he's
never 'ad nothink from me."
"Of course not. I think you are very
stupid. Mr. Hopkins. This is only pagina
tion made up, you know."
"Oh, ho!" said Mr. Hopklnt. very re
lieved and smiling In such a way as IO
crease his face into a faint reremb'ance
to a cracked and starred loaklngglass.
"Now I sees where we are, as the s eep
walker said when 'it the pavement
hafter stepping hout of the hattlc window.
It's a game we are playing. I ham the
Beast and you are Beauty. Lumme, I
was silly but that's me, my dear. I was al
ways ellly. never quick of catching a chap's
meaning. But I don't think 1 can turn
Into a prince, not nohow. I went to the wax
works once but bless you, my dear, they
never moved, so I can't hapc their man
ners. But'I can bark like a dog."
"That's absurd the Beast was a II m,
you know, and Oh. I 'member. I don't
think we'll play that game through," she
added, suddenly. ' In reply to his look ot
interrogation, she added: '
"I don't think. Mr.. Hopkins, If you don't
mind, that we will go on playing. You see,
it's what dad calls a delicate situation. . I
had forgotten that Beauty marries the
Beast, and you don't mind, I hope, Mr.
Hopkins, but I couldn't possibly marry
you."
"No, no, In course not," sgreed Mr. Hop
kins, hesrtlly. "No, In course not.
Hain't much of the bridegroom about BUI
'Opklns, is there? Not much of the gay
and festive hair about 'is duds eh, my
dear?"
"You see, you are really so much older,"
Mol!y said, politely. "I don't think it
would do."
"In course," commenced Mr. Hopkins,
when the door flew open In quite a passion
and the dirty face, with the dirty cap,
now gracefully draping .Liza's left ear,
pushed themselves in. To the vast alarm
of Mr. Hopkins. Liza followed her face
and cap Into the parlor. Her sleeves
were rolled up, showing two arms very
thin, very dirty and remarkably long. In
one hand she carried a tumbler and In the
other a small Jug with a broken spout.
"Ho!" she said, glaring at the trembling
Mr. Hopkins. " 'ere's your beer. I 'opes
It will choke you." She put tumbler and
Jug down on the table with such a bang
that the two recumbent Infants stared at
their toes in a more astonished manner
than ever. ,
"I 'opes not." the old man said.
Molly looked reproachfully at Liza.
"Is there more washing than usual?" she
asked. "Oh, there's dad," she added,
rushing to the front door.
"Comln' 'ome to rest and fihln' you "ere,"
said Liza. "Hain't you ashamed of your
self? 'Ow ynu can 'ave the 'eart to do It
beats me."
The door, quite used to it by this time,
flow open and Molly apepared, dragging in
Hullo!" said Mr. Runstone. stopping sb
ruptly. Mr. Hopkins touched his forehead.
"I "ave a dockyment for you, sir," he
said.
"It's Mr. Hopkins," said Molly.
"Broked's man," said Lisa, sniffing.
"Rates!"
"Rates!" Mr. Runstone exclaimed. "Why,
I paid rateft yesterday with my overcoat
and opera glasses. I have the tickets In
my pocket. It must he the landlord.
Means going. I suppose." v
"Dockyment," ssld Mr. Hopkins, sententl
ously. , "From Mr. Bstes St. George

"Bates?" t'houted Liza. "You said
Rates!" ' ''"
"Can't 'alp it hlf you hare deaf!" replird
the old man. Mr. Runstone tore cpen the
envelope In great excitement.
" 'Can I como aown-settls terms fcr

the waiting is over! No mors poverty, no
more Oh! hang It! ' No,' ws can't get rid
of Liza!" he cried, snatching up his
daughter and klexlng her with wild
vehemence.
"Wouldn't go." Liza aterted.
"And Mr. Hopkins brought all th! good
news?" Molly ss!:ed.
"Ye..," snswered Mr. Runstone.
"Then, did, he must have been thr

"And," said Mr. Hopkins, smiling at the
very pleasan' and pouring cut' tha bee

FIGHTING TIPPING NUISANCE
A tampslatn that Wonld Swceeed II
Vlrtlma tVoatd Lend Their
Aid.
London Is witnessing an Interesting ex
perlment In flrst-clsss restaurant where
no tipping 14 allowed. "No gratu1tts"
signs are not new In eating places, either
here or abroad, but a really systematic ef
fort to conduct a . Piccadilly restaurant
successfully without Subjecting the pttrotu
to the tipping nuisSnce I worth watching.
The backers of the Titer?rlse. hava ar
ranjed a minimum scale of wage for ths
waiters, snd the men are to bs paid on the 1
bnsls of a percentage of the bills for which
thr;' ser" meals. The scheme seems sen
sible. It wilt be to the Interest of she
waiter to be attractive end endeavor to
make things ro agreeable to the olners that
they will linger and run up bills. And
when those Wilt are paid all the change
that comes back will go Into the pockets
where It belongs, and that little comedy
will be avoided where Alphonse stnndt
with one eye gazing Into space and one
Into the plate, trying to look as though he
expected nothing, while the diner figures
ua the minimum that will be received
without n frown.
The trouble with such a campaign of re
form Is that It usually breaks down, not
through the efforts of Its backers, hut
through those of the very persons whom It
was de-.ancd to benefit. The restaurant
man starts by fixing the rates so he suf
fers no financial loss; the waiter agrees to
his part, and If they had their way the no
tip plan could easily be carried out. Along
comes the very man who has been relieved
of the nuisance, and, thinking he Is going
to set a little better service than those
around him, slips a gratuity Into a hand
naturally willing. The force of attendants
Is speedily corrupted. The upright msn
who is willing to stand by his rights
and pocket all the change soon sits snd
starve.
The problem Is a knotty one. Tha
tipping system is a greater bane in New
York than abroad. On the continent a
copper goes a long way. Here, where
living expenses sre lighter, the demsnds
for service rise proportionately. Thou
sands of New Yorkers have to depend
on restaurants for their meals, snd the
recognised payment to the waiter ia 10
per cent. With 10 cents a meal, the mini
mum received without a frown, for three
meals a day, the yearly sum for tlpi
amounts to nearly 1110. It Is much too
much.
Even If tips are abolished in England, It
Is unlikely auch a thing will ever come to
puss in the United States. On the con
trary, as fast as restaurants In England do
away with the present system, we may
look for the English waiters to flock to
this land of the brave and the free and
the iret-rich-qulck. Even If any consid
erable number of restaurant proprietors
should resolve to pay for their own serv
ants It la not believed the waiters Would
ever submit to It, preferring to receive
their pay from the generous hand of the
man softened and mellowed by a good
dinner than to take their chances with
a hard and profit-loving proprietor. A
divorce application recently made In San
Francisco by one Lucy Loupy Includes the
significant sentence: "Loupy, like most ol
the French restaurant proprietors here,
begsn as a waiter." And Loupy ia now
said to be worth 350,000, . and has a net
Income of 11,000 a month. Loupy 'began
as a waiter, thus proving tbat great for.
tunes from little tips do grow. Is a waiter
with ambition In his breast going to submit
to a system which will forever cut oft his
chances of having restaurant of his own?
Moreover; since '
All human history attests
That happiness tor man the hungry sin
ner! Since Eve ate apples, much depends on
dinner
Is there any American man going to refuse
to give tips when It has been proven
sgsln and again that the hand that tips
the waiter rules the roast? New York Sun.
TRIBUTE TO ASQUARE MEAL
Historic "Feed" mt 9TB For Plate, and
tho Government Footed
the Bill.
In the presence of representatives of the
United States and Great Britain granite
monuments were unveiled the other day 011
San Juan island in Puget sound to mark
the spots where for many years garrisons
were maintained by both nations while the
ownership of the territory was In dispute.
To every veteran of the regular service
in either country the sight of these monu
ments will revive not the memories of a
dlsputs of nations, but of the glorious rec
ord breaking "feed" which one Lieutenant
Michael Fitzgerald. U, 8. A., spread in
the view of his redcost brethren with the
hearty Invitation to fall to. One or two
of the participants in that banquet are still
In arms, and there Is probably not a com
rade of either service who does not know
the story of how Michael Fitzgerald, lieu
tenant United States army, "set 'ein up"
for the Britishers and made straight a
strained situation. All of which goes to
show that a banquet may be better than
a bullet.
Michael Fitzgerald was the commanding
officer and the only officer of the American
garrison on San Juan. General McDowell
at San Francisco was afraid because of
Fitzgerald's name that he would have
hereditary feelings against the British and
might involve the country In trouble.
"Above all things. Lieutenant Fitzgerald,"
said the general, "observe the rules of In
ternational courtesy."
"I'll do thst same, general,' snswered
Fitzgerald promptly. '
The English officers, for there were sev
eral of them at the British garrison, asked
Fitzgerald over to dine. They didn't have
much to offer him, for there wasn't much
In the country.
Fltsgerald waited two months befors h

The table was covered with cut glass Snd

like unto that of which Horace sang.
Veracious history hath It that the "feed"
cost 376 plate. The bill for the thing was
tl.40f. A month after the banquet on San
Juan a formidable looking document went
to army headquarters at Han Francisco.
General McDowell opened it. It was a bill
for Mlcheel Flttgerald's banquet, and it
was thus endorsed: "Kxeerpt from Major
General McDowell's Instructions: Atve

the rules of Intcrnntlorml courtesy.' "

UNCLE SAM LIKES . CIGARS
Plight of a Man Who Tried Io Get tho
Best nt m Deal with tho '
Customs,
A man tame in trom Hsvsna recently
with s box of cigars out of which he had
smoked nf teen. There were eighty-five left.
The Inspector who examined his bsggags
told him he could hsve only fifty. The man
declared that it was an outrage, and inti
mated that he believed It to be perpetrated
for the Inspector's personal amusement.
"Who ge's the rest?" he demanded.
"They are seized for the government,"
was the reply.
Thereupon It was evident to ths msn that
the outrage was for the benefit as well as
the amusement of the Inspector.
"I don't suppose you smoke?" he sneered.
"Not on duty," suavely replied the In
spector. "Well, you won't smoke these off duty,"
cried the man, snd began to break them
up.
"Hold on," said ' the Inspector, "you
mustn't do that."
"Why not?" demanded the man. "They
r my cigars."
"No. they sre not." replied the Inspector;
"they belong to the government."
No Words would fit that situation,' and
the man went away. A little' later he
charged Into the office of the law divleion,
prepared to tear down the custom house.
He wsnted to know, snd he wsnted his In
formation quickly..
"Not my clgsr. heh? Well, they hadn't
been brought In yet." .
"Oh, yes, they had. They were consider
ably Inside the three-mile limit when you
had them on the pier." ,
A little argument cooled him off, and he
finally said:
"Well, I'll take my fifty, and you cen
have the rest." '
"You haven't got fifty now." said the off),
rial.
"Haven't got fifty?" he screamed. "I'd
like to know why I haven't. You've said
all along I could have fifty.
"Yes. but you broke them up.''
"I didn't do any such thing. I broke up
the extra thirty-five!"
"Oh. no: those sre t'nele Sam's. Ton
were breaking up your own. But I don't
think you destroyed them oil.' There are
about fifteen still left for you."
