Stock Yard Correspondent
Kansas City Stin k 5 aids, May

Northwest, leaving ll;0o0 on the
market. The strong market re
entiy Iihh encouraged feeders lo
hold on, ami receipts last wei k
contained n smaller percentage of
steers selling below $0 than usual.
Buyers tried todisci iminate against
heavy steers last week, but the de
mand was too great, and they were
not able to change prices for the
worse at any time. Conditions
a. -' much better than a month ago,
and the consumptive demand for
meats continued to expand last
week. 'Pop steers here today sold
at $6 80, as compared with top < f
$6.00 on different days last week,
and the steer market is called stea
dy to 1(1 lower loday, bulk of
steers, $5.85 to $6.05, cows and
heifers steady today, best cows
worth $5.75, and top heifers $6.50,
calves a quarter higher than n
week ago, top veals $7.25, hulls
$3.75 to $5.25. Stockers and feed

vanced 10 cents during the week,
put prices are 5 to 10 lower today,
supply 13,000 head. The bear
feature today is a run at Chicago
ten thousand head greater than
estimates for today. Gener d con
ditions are favorable to the trade,
dr maud for all kinds of meats hea
vy. stimulated by the fact that
pork iH cheaper relatively than
either beef or mutton. Heavier
receipts later this month and in
•June may cause some losses in the
hog market, but no serious dam
age can be clone to prices until
grass cattle and sheep come freely,
the only thing that can cheapen
these classes of live stock. Top
bogs here today $7. Id, hulk of
sales $6.‘,H) to $7.30.

Announcement Party
Miss Nellie Hart entertained
Saturday afternoon at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. l’erry
Hart, near Reserve. The decora
tions were jn lavender and white,
the same color scheme being used
iu the refreshments. Lavender
heart ice cream was served and at
each guests place was a boquet of
Sweet Williams tied with lavendar
ribbon. In each boquet was a
tiny heart with the names Nelle
Hart and Dr. Harry Burchard, of
Kalis City, June 7, PJ09, This
was Miss Hart's plan of announc
ing her marriage to Mr. Burchard,
which will take place June 7. A
little white satin bag containing
rice was given each guest with
these words, “Preserve this rice
with care to throw upon a happy
pair." About twenty guests were
present.— Hiawatha Daily World.
Referee's Sale
The Leslie laud that was adver
tised to be sold at sheriff’s sale
Monday afternoon was sold and A.
R. Scott acted as referee. Sixty
acres were sold to Fred Meyer at
$101 per acre and Schultz pur
chased the remaining seventy-nine
acres, paying$95 per acre for it.
HER METHOD OF REASONING
Little One Used Sound Logic in As
certaining Just How Old
Mamma Was.
Lillie Frieda is a liright miss
who comes to her conclusion* on
linos of what to her small mind
seem >tiiit and logical reasoning. So
one shopping day. with more specu
lation m her eve than her mother
noticed, she inquired, "What kind of
a waist did you ask that lady for,
mamma?”
"I asked her for a 38 waist," an
swered thi1 mother.
When they got home, Frieda, with
the air of a discoverer, pranced
gaily up to her grandmother. “I've
found out how old mamma is," she
announced; “she’s 38.”
“How did you find it out?”
queried the grandmother.
“Because she bought a 38 waist.
She buys me ten-year-old dresses,
so if she buys 38 waists for herself,
she must be 38 years old,” con
cluded Miss Frieda triumphantly.
“EQUINOCTIAL STORM."
\ search of the weather records
will reveal the fact that the day
which marks the separation of the
seasons and on which the sun
"souths” exactly at noon is more
likely than not to he dear and beau
tiful, hut with the latitude that the
amateur weather prophets of the
[last always allowed themselves for
safety’s sake, any storm occurring
within several days before or after
the time of equal day and night has
been held to he either an early or a
belated coming of the inevitable
“line” storm. A very little thought
on the area of the habited portions
of the earth and the known causes
of storms should convince those who
are willing to he convinced that the
“equinoctial” is a superstition and a
myth.
TURKEY DOOMED
A regenerated Turkey is going to
take hack all her old possessions in
cluding Herzegovina and Bosnia, so
the Austrians would better come in
out of the wet and give them up in
time.
It is a splendid dream, worthy of
a Turk of the days when the banner
of the prophet swept to victory on a
thousand fields of battle. But dead
empires are not revivilied. l>ism
tegration, not conquest, is the doom
of the land of the sultan. V V.
l’rcss.
TRIP NOT ALL WASTED.
“I’ve walked many miles to see
you, sir," began (be tramp, “be
cause people told me you was very
kind to poor chaps like me.”
“Indeed?" said the genial, white
haired old man. “Are you going
back the same way?"
“Yes, sir."
“Ab. Well, just contradict that
rumor as vou go, will you? (lood
morning. Stray Stories.
A FAVORED FOWL.
“I lias been told.” said Miss
M iatni Brown, “dat de parrot is one
of de longes’ lived birds dat is."
“l)e statement," replied Mr. Eras
mus l’iuklev, “is strictly ornitho
logical.”
“I wonder why 1”
“I ’specks dat one reason why de
parrot lives so long is dat he ain’
good to cat."
TIMELY ENTERPRISE.
“The political situation is devel
oping a considerable amount of
acrimony," remarked the observer.
“Yes,” answered the candidate.
“It's a good thing we had all those
photographs taken early in the cam
paign when we were still able to look
pleasant."
DRIVEN TO IT.
“Let principle take the place of
inspiration,” thundered one worker
for the uplift.
“Wouldn’t do for me at all,” de
clared the press humorist. “When 1
haven’t an idea for a joke, I have
to steal.”—Exchange.
HEADING HIM OFF.
“That was a pretty tall story the
last speaker at the meeting was tell
ing.”
“Perhaps that was why the chair
man cut him short.”
ADHERING TO FACTS.
“I met Jim Jones tho other day,
and he told me that just now he was
living high.”
“So he is. Jim’s a motonnan on
the elevated road.”
JUST THE REGULATION MEAL
Cowboys in the Early Days Evident
ly Arose with Healthy
Appetites.
T. B. Sweet, n Topeka capitalist,
stopped at Abilene m tlie early day
at die best hotel m the city. He
asked for his breakfast. The wall
ers took no special notice of his ap
pearance, or at least did not guess
that his appetite was different from
the average patron’s.
“(five me some eggs." said Sweet,
and waited.
In a little while the waitress came
back. In a bowl she had a full
dozen eggs, all hard boiled.
Sweet gasped and ate what lie
could, protesting that she had
brought him too many and that he
didn’t just know how hard boiled
eggs would strike him for his first
meal of the day.
“Why, that’s a regular cowboy’s
breakfast,” responded the waitress.

NO NEED TO SWIM.

Amateur Yachtsman—How is It that
you have been on the water all your
life and yet you cannot swim?
Boy—Don't ever 'ave to swim. I
know how to sail a boat without get
ting capsized.
HER BLUSHES HIDDEN.
Alfred (i. Vanderbilt, at the Long
Branch horse show, said of the
sheath skirt:
“You know those thick double
veils, similar to a Turkish woman’s,
that they have been wearing in New
port this summer? Well, they .say
in Newport that the other day an
extremely pretty girl appeared in a
very daring sheath skirt.
“Her father took her to task
about it.
“‘Don’t you think,* lie said, ‘that
the skirt you wore this afternoon is
most immodest ?'
“ ‘But, papa.’ said she, ‘I wear
one of those thick double veils with
it.’”
HOT WEATHER CLOTHING.
According to a Spanish physician,
white clothing is unsuitable for use
under a blazing tropical sun. lie
declares that people should wear red
colored clothing to keep cool. The
disturbance of the nerves of the
spinal column hv excessive actinic
rays reacts upon the stomach, he
says, upsetting digestion as well as
| causing sunstroke. The remedy is
a non-netinie covering for the skin,
and a rial lining for wearing apparel
t and helmet gives instant relief to the
I troubles from a torrid suu and en*
j aides a workman to stand exposure
with comfort.
WILLING TO OBLIGE.
‘‘When you feels any tomptatimi
coinin’ along,” saitl the friend and
adviser, “you inns’ say, ‘Get thee be
llin’ me, Satan.’ ”
“Da’s what 1 done said,” an
swered Mr. Krasins l’inkley, “an’
den I 'magines I hyulis Santan an
swer me back, ‘Da's all right. We’s
both gwi ne de same way nohow an’
it don’ make no diiT’unce to mo
which leads de puheession.”
SOMEWHAT ANNOYED.
“What sort of a time did you
have while you were abroad?”
“Not very satisfactory,” answered
Mr. Cumrow "1 saw a great many
historical curiosities, but I kind of
resented having the waiters and cab
drivers put on airs over me because
they could speak French, the same as
mother aud the girls.”
NOT SO FOOLISH.
“Yes,” said Phamliman, “may
daughter is to be married next
month to Count Brokaw.”
“Ah!” remarked the friend,
“everything's settled, eh?”
“No, sir-ree! You don't catch
pje paying in advauee.”
