Gerber Kansas City Market Kansas City Stock Yards, Jan. 1. The cattle market today continued its strong tendency of last week, beef cattle Bteady to ten higher, stockers and feeders unevenly holier, receipts 850f). Hogs sold fully steady, re ceipts 8i)00, sheep and lambs 10 to 15 higher, lambs .fl.'i.fiu, another new high record, ewes $i).i20, receipts 8000. HKEF OATTLK Prime beef steers of medium weight sold at i$ll.!jr and $11.50, and good to choice ones brought 10.(55 to $11. Packers bid on anything that carries an ounce of flesh, from $7.50 up, ami 1!)17 opens with all kinds of killing cattle higher than at any time during the year 101(5. Prime cows sell at ?tf or better, heifers $10.'J5, medium cows around $7, cutters $(, canners 85.25 to 55.00, bulls S to $7.50, veals up to $11. Killers are getting prices for hides that cut meat costs materially, which together with fine outlet for beef, gives the market double strength at this time. STOCKEKS AND FEEDKRS Contrary to the usual custom stock er and feeder prices open the year with a keen demand, and forty to six ty cents higher than a week ago. Six cars of White Face feeders weighing ill it lbs. sold at $8.50 today, fleshy feeders tin to $8.00. thin, medium-bred feeders $7.25 to $7.75, stock steers $0.25 to $8.25. A good many orders are held here, and would be filled if the price would get down a little. HOGS Order buyers opened the market 5 to 10 higher in some cases, but $10.'I5 was as high as anything sold. Med ium weights sold up to $10.-10. lights $10.25, the market about a dime low er than best time last week. Receipts for December show a slight loss here, as compared with a year ago, lack of feed beginning to show is effect. The year 101(5 shows an increase of -150,-000 hogs over 1015 at Kansas City, but receipts the first months of 1017 will probably run lighter here, be cause of the feed disadvantage in Kansas City's territory, and competi tion will for that reason be stronger here than elsewhere, ami average prices relatively higher. SHEEP AND LAMI1S. More than one fourth of the total receipts today sold at the top lamb price, $l!t.50, never equalled here be fore. Ewes brought $0.20, a new high record for this season, and yearlings arc worth $11 to $12. Feeding lambs ne-11 up to $12. The market has the appearance of being well grounded having the support of high prices for dressed mutton and for pelts and wool, but the sheep market is noted for Hud-ion and .sharp breaks and hea vy receipts might bring such a turn. J. A. UICKAUT, Market Cor. A The Real Thing By FRANK FILSON !I $ V.V,-VVVrV. rftlVrJ? (CopyrlKht, 1310, by V. U. Clmpmiin.) Tollman was the first to start mak ing game of Sanders. Sanders was mi average little man of the type (bat Is met everywhere. Hut the town wni small enough for everybody to see everybody else several times a day, and the hot Texan summer makes 'men Irritable or malicious, according to their natures. ' Sunders didn't drink, or smoke, anil lie wouldn't light. The last crime was Hie deadliest. It was shown In this .way: Tit 1 1 man bad invited Sanders to Join him at the saloon; Sanders ji-cfuscd, and Talluian called him the 'sort of mime no self-respecting niiiii 'takes. Sanders turned white, but ho didn't strike Tallmau. That was Sau iders' llnlsli in the border town. A man Is expected to light. Elsie 'Duval told Sanders as much when he came calling. Sanders winced, but only took his but and went. Elsie Duval was the unquestioned ibelle of the place. Every man was 'supposed to have proposed to her at (one time or another. Tallman, how ever was accredited with a leading share in her capricious heart. She had been Interested in Sanders be cause he was a new face, but Tall man's friends had recounted the epi sode. Everyone knew that little San ders was Infatuated with the beauty, and they laughed at It, laughed at the simplicity of the little man. "He'll get his quietus soon," they said. He did, when lie was escorting Miss Elsie from church. Tallman stepped, out of the building a moment after Sanders had given the girl his arm. "What do you mean by butting In?" be demanded. "Miss Duval 1ms prom ised lo walk home with me." Sunders looked at Tallman Inquir ingly. "I'm sorry If I intruded; 1 didn't know," be said.

The Dey Before the Fire it the day to imutc. A that day may be to-morrow ior all youtan know or do, il fellow that prud;nce would im pell you to stop in out office to day and have ut issue you a policy, with the torch, plundering and setting fire to the houses. A small body of the defenders, driven back before them, had been cut oft between the two raiding forces. Nobody could lire, for fear of hitting their own side. , The defenders were cornered. Half a dozen women, shrinking back against the houses, two or three men com posed them. Hlsrlnntcd with horror, Sanders' party saw a Mexican step up ' toward the little group and speak, in-' dlcatlng one of the women. It was Elsie, and the man's meaning was obvious. He was offering life and safety to the little group i-i return for Elsie. And, to Sanders' horror, Tail man was listening to him. Sanders saw Tallman waver irreso lutely. He knew what he was saying to himself: that the honor of one girl ( was oi less worm tiian tne lives ot all. Sanders saw the Mexican stride toward the girl and catch her trium phantly In his arms, while the rllles of the raiders covered him and the party behind the barricades. The girl screamed frantically us the brute clutched her. And that was the last thing that Sanders remem bered. The rest of the story Is told by witnesses. They speak of seeing Sanders leap from behind the barricade as If- Im pelled by a spring, and rush ulone, through a scattering shower of bullets, upon the Mexican who held ENle Duval in his arms. - Sanders struck him down with (he butt, and then ran Into the midst of the raiding horse men, who numbered perhaps llfty. He felled their lender from ids horse, sprang Into the saddle, and cleared u space .about lilin. There was neither room nor time to load or lire. The man seemed to have a charmed life. He swung his rllle round and round his head, and, though menaced from every side, each time the butt fell a head broke, as an egg shell might. After liltn ran the little body of defenders fewer than 12 men. I'.order annuls hardly detail a great er light against greater odds. JJtit the frightened horses of the dead men con fused the Mexicans, and the Ameri cans hewed a clear passage through thelv midst and hack again. They wore covered with wounds, hut l hey had lost none of their forces, and suddenly the raiders raised a shout f terror nnd rode for dear life down lo the IMo. yiiether they feared the arrival of re-enforcements cannot be known. The fact remains that Sunders hail saved Santa Kosa, and with an Insig nificant force. lie awakened from ids trance to lint! himself standing beside Elsie in the street. Irenthb-ss nn,i covered with blood, and wondering what had hap pened to him. All that he remembered was seeing the girl in the clutch of the Mexican. "i'oti are safe. Miss Duval?" ho gasped; and as lie spoke the look of leiulerslilp faded from his face, and he was Just the Insignificant, ordinary little man of yesterday. Hut Elsie threw her arms about ids neck and kissed him. It was a public declaration, and she could hardly have done less. For everyone had realized that there exist two sorts of courage, and that brute force Is Inferior to moral strength. At that moment Tallman was about three-quarters of n mile away, creep ing down the galley that would take him t the high road out of sight of the settlement. O. C.

He Felled Their Leader. tiers. Her pride was badly hurt. She gave her arm to Tollman, anil they went on down the strict, Sanders tag ging along In I In- rear. It was that evening that Elsie told Sanders he was a coward. Sanders went away miserably and did not see her again for two or three weeks-. The town sniggered, but everv..iu agret I that Tallman was Justified in tryliu to win the girl, especially from a fel low like Sanders. It was Just about two weeks after this episode that the striking event In the town's annals occurred. It went to bed with the P.lo (iraude fiowing peacefully before It and the desert and the hills beyond. It awoke to the found of rllle shots and the yells of the Mexican brigands. They had stolen upon the place nnd shot down the handful of police. Now, galloping through the streets, they were looting stores, setting houses on lire, and murdering all whom they met. Tho town knew what had hap pened the moment It nwakeaeu, to ward daylight, but It had never ex pected to share the fate of the other raided border settlements. Sanders staggered Into his clothes and ran Into the street. The raiders were still nt work upon Hie business section, bufthe little residential pari was about to be attacked. Isolated pintles were drawing nearer. Sanders and Tallman nnd Elsie lived within a stone's throw of cin-h other. On reaching the street Sanders found a small body of men busy making a barricade. A dozen or so of rilles lunl been discovered, and an impromptu company hud been organized. Travers, the self-constituted cap tain, thrust a rllle Into Sanders' hand. "Here, 1 guess you're man enough lo use this, aren't you?'-' he asked doubtfully. Sanders took It and loaded It. As he did so cries were heard from a street a block awny, answered by the yells of the Mexicans. Another party had stolen Into the town by a differ ent route, und wan sweeping forwuri' Pebbles for Thirst. What Is the best tlilrst-quonchor on the miyrch? Weak tea and sterilized water are the beverages officially rec ommended by a paternal army ci uucil wherewith to fill water bottles, though the soldier Js urged to drink as little as pos-slble lest he merely aggravate this thirst. Most old soldiers li-tvo their own pet theories on the matter .if thirst-quenchers, nr.d offer them freely (and generally la vuln) to re cruits. One sergeant of wide experience Is ready to stake his repttlatl.-a c; the soothing effect of a tangerine orange; another will chew licorice or tol acco. Hut there Is a readier and cheaper way. A small, smooth stone Is selected and steadily sucked on the march to keep the tongue moist. The recent loss of a favorite pebble, his friend on many a long march, has greatly sad dened a certain company sergeant ma jor, and lie still nurses the firm and unshakable conviction that It was sur reptitiously borrowed and swallowed by a greedy platoon sergeant.
