Alantcel Howe's story.
JMnntcel Howe , who cnn \vrile ,
ns her fnthcr before her , has writ-
Ion n alory for tin- huddles Limn
Journal Hint I'M Howe hiiUBolf
niiplit cliuvBome if it hadn't Iwn
Written by liio ovru Kin , for it has
a Sob in it for the Sobbing Sisters.
The story is in slmpo of letter
left by a girl-wifo to bo read after
she died giving birth to a child.
It is a love Idler in which tin1
young wife tells her liubbimd she
is certain she will die in givi
birth to their child , and that much
as she dislikes ! o die , because she
very much loves her husband and
child and wants to live , that she
fours that if she lived she might
drift away from her great happi
ness through misunderstandings
and changes of time , Fall ! What
of that ? She had happiness ,
didn't she ? All things pass away.
Her fears are those of most young
women and nrs told with feeling
and nut a little pathos and prettiness -
ness , but a woman who has had
several children will waste no tears
on the story. She knows the mys
tery of life and death isn't controlled -
trolled byBOntimcnt. Women and
men die by means appointed.
Most of them na naturally as they
go to sleep. To llio young bride
who may become a mother it in a
pretty affection to talk sweetly
about dying for the baby's sake ,
for the love of the husband and
for fear happiness might take
wings , but the bride and mother
who is in that condition of mind
gives evidence of .material disar
rangemenl. T ho finer , truer
mother the ono who is physically
and mentally well , desires to live ,
expects to live , and goes into the
valley of the shadow of life-giving
yilh no other thought than living.
And how much braver it is for the
wife and mother to keep away
from the false-note of self pity ir
Child-birth and think of the splen
dor of the achievement and rejoice
in it as her mother did before her
A strong race is only possible
through strong-thinking , matter
of-fact mothers. Nimby , pamb
nervous children will be born to
very-much.afraid little girl moth
ers. No little girl should marry
until she is ready to give up he
girl-lifo for the burdens of UK
married woman. And when sh
assumes such burdens , if she doe
so with the courage and fortitud
of her race of mothers , her chil
dren will honor her. Eliawath

Money in Good Roads.
A western editor truthfully re
marks that "there is money in th
western banks , but more of
ought to be in the western roads.
It would bo just as safe there , and 1
it would bo drawing much larger
interest. Money invested in a
% good highway , under an intelligent
system of construction and super *
vision , adds value to every acre of
land that the road affects at all. "
Wo have been preaching this
sort of doctrine for a long time ,
and believe in it more firmly than
ever. And as we have said before ,
as soon as the farmers and the
merchants of the United States
fully realise that the good roads
movement will pay ; that "there's
money in it" for them for every
man who lives in the town as well
as every man who , living near ,
does business in the town then
the movement will have the im
petus necessary to make it succeed
The reason why this ximportanl
work has not leaped forward hat
been the lack of realization of iti
importance on the part of thosi
uioet interested , and who woulc
profit most. If the actual cost o
hauling stuff to market can bo re
duoed by a large percentage , thei
the good road , that makes sucl
reduction possible , is a thing tha
pays. And if it is easier for farm
ers to get to town , and if they , o
account of going oftener and c
increased profits due to good roadi
.
are able to spend more money i
town , then the merchant will coi
,
elude that the work pays from hi
standpoint.
Souio day the nation will buil
' a great national highway and tli
states will build fine turnpike
wjthin their own borders and me
chanlu and farmers will by private
subscription build smooth roads
for their own use. The United
States is nipidly approaching that
point. It simply has to come for
our advancement and our pros-
pprity will not be what they ought
to be until good roads and good
waterways have simplified the
transportation problem. Lincoln |

Market Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards.
June 7 , 1908.
Last week's cattle trade w
most unsatisfactory from the
seller's standpoint , in spite of
the reduction in receipts , nearly
20 per cent here as compared
with receipts the previous week
and other markets showing a
similar loss , demand seemed to
flatten out after Tuesday , and
the week closed with a loss of
10 to 20 cents on toppy kinds ,
and 20 to10 cents lower on med
ium to common cattle , both
steers and cows. Heavy ship
incuts from Ft. Worth direct to
the packing plants at all the
northern markets lately put a
weapon in the hands of the buy
ers , and a shortening" up of con-1
suming demand rendered them
still more independent. The run
today is f > 000 head here , and
small elsewhere , ' and this big
reduction in the supply was ne
cessary to break the packers'
sway ot the situation. Heavy
rains and numerous washouts in
Oklahoma and elsewhere are re
sponsible for part o f the reduc
tion in supplies today but ad
vices sent out to sTiippers late
last week were against heavy
marketing. Prices are strong
to 15 higher today , with top
steers at SO.U5k The spread in
prices is wider than a week ago ,
medium steers goingat $5.25 to
$0.85 , cows $2.75 to $5.60 , heifers
$3.75 to $0.25 , calves $ -1.00 to
$0.00 , bulls $8.25 to $5.25. Stock ,
ers and feeders advanced 25
cents last week from the low
close of the previous week , and
are selling strong today , stockers -
ers at$3.25to$5.25 , feedersSi.OO
to $5.40.
Hog receipts last week were
7-1,000 bead , 25 per cenjt less than
previous week , and prices ruled
higher tirst ball of the week ,
but finally closed with most of
the advance lost. The run to
day is 12,000 bead , large for
Monday , with heavy runs at all
points , and prices are off 10 to
15 cents here. Top today is
$ o.-10 , bulk $5.15 to $5.85. More
light hogs have been included
recently than usual , and while
the demand lor that class is
greatest , supply ot good heavy
hogs is so limited that they still
lead by a small margin. Light
weights got the greatest decline
today , which accounts tor the
wide range in bulk of sales.
Weather conditions will govern
volume of receipts till work on
crops becomes less urgent.
Another supply exceeding ,
000 sheep arrived here last week ,
and as heavy runs appeared at
all the markets , mutton prices
received the biggest cut of the
season. Lambs lot least , but
sold about 00 cents cheaper ,
while sheep , especially Texas
declined around $1.00. Supply
is 7500 today , market about 10
higher , and with smaller receipts
- in sight balance of the week
. , some strength in the market
may develope. Wooled lambs
bring $0.00 to $0.50 , c 1 i p p e cl
lambs $5.50 to $0.00 , wethers am'
ewes $3.75 to $1.50 , goats $3.0l
to $3.50.

Alust Replant Corn.
Enquiry mndc among the farm
ers from the different parts of the
county indicates that the n mo mil
of damage done by the recent ruins
is almost incalculable.
It ia conservatively estimated
thfit about eighty per cent of the
corn in the county hns had to be
replanted as a result of the wash
ing mine , and in some localities
not a kernel of the seed corn was
loft in the ground.
tt has been several years since
this district has been visited by
washing rains and tons of the
richest dirt in the county were
carried oil' the liields and into the
Missouri river , there to be carried
to the Gulf of Mexico. Auburn

A Puncture in Our Pride.
The other day n good-looking ,
hardy and apparently prosperous
middle aged man was excused from
jury duty here because he could
not write. Naturally it comes as
a surprise in a community like
this when a person of such appar
ent quality pleads illiteracy. But
it seems that this man has much
company , generally speaking , for
according to the last census out of
every thousand people in this
country 107 were illiterate that
is , they were persons ten years elder
or older who were unable to write
in any language. One person in
every nine above the age of ten ,
therefore , is illiterate.
Americans pride themselves
upon their wide-spread education ,
the product of universal free
schools associated , in most states ,
with compulsory education laws.
The figures do not support this
attitude of self sufficiency. In
England , Scotland and Holland
only one person in forty is illiter
ate. In Switzerland one person
in 1GG cannot write , in Denmark
one person in 500 , in Sweden and
Norway one. in each 12,250 , and it
Germany there is practically no
illiteracy. The rate in 1908 among
the army recruits was one in 2,500
and the army recruits were proba
bly below the average of the Ger
man people. So we haven't so
much to boast of in this respect as
most of us have believed. St.
Joe News-Press.
