CATTLE Theie were only n few loads of
cattle In the ynids this morning , nnd a good
share of them were direct to packers , so
that there was veiy little on sole to make
a test of the market Such cattle as were
hero sold nt about the same prices ns jet-
tciday t , nnd the market , is usual on Satur
day , was featureless
So far as killing cattle are concerned the
market during the latter part of this week
has boon In very satisfactory condition. The
demand for cornfed steers lias been active
every nay , and us supplies have been very
moderate the tendency of values has been
upvvaid At the close of the week Values
are almost back to where they were before
the break , on some kinds they arc neiuly
n.s high as any time , and on others not to
e\eec'd lOc low or than the best time. In
addition to being a strong market the
movement on most every day 1ms been ue-
tlve , with nn early clearance.
Cows and heifers have been In good de
mand all the wick und values have llrmed
up , so that thi' loss of last week has been
entirely recovered. That Is , cows und heif
ers are selling ju-t as well ns they did be
fore the break and In addition the maiket

been heavy. All available extras have
been sold ahead up to March 1 , and there
Is neither much demand nor much pres

the price for extras. 2' c or above that
llBiire. In staple cottons the advances in
the market ha\e continued steadily. Huy-

somewhat by the cold weather or the

An IMItnrlnl Whlfli Wax lluliiert liy n
Tramp I'rlnt mr.
"Speaking of handwriting , " said an old
newspaper man to a Now Orleans Times re
porter , "tho worst In the profession since
the Orecley myth was that of Colonel J. F.
Barton. The colonel waa a southern man ,
ho died In Alabama In ' 97 and a dozen years
ago ho was famous throughout the mlddlo
west ns an editorial writer of great pownr
nnd versatility. The queer thing about
him woe that his normal penmanship looked
almost like copper plate a beautiful ( low
ing script , but let him get excited or hur
ried and It double discounted the chicken
tracks on Cleopatra's needle.
"There used to bo a funny story about j
him , current among printers , and I'll tell It
for what It IB worth. Ono night , according
to the yarn , n tramp printer drifted Into a
western ofllconhoro the colonel was In
chnrco and applied for a Job. The foreman
put him to work and ho pegged along all
right until just before the hour for goin
to press , when Burton sent In a hurry-up
odltoilal based on n late news telegram.
Nearly all the printers had left , so the new
man got n picco df the 'copy , ' a page from
about the middle. Ho carried It to his case ,
looked at It frownlngly , turned It upaldii
down , looked at It again nnd finally put It
In position before him and began to snatch
up typo. 'Read that In your etlcU , ' yelled
the foreman , 'wo ain't got tlmo for proofs ! ' '
And when the now man carried his o\er It
was 'dumped' Into the forms without fur
ther ceremony.
"What ho had set ran about Ilko this :
'The miscreant who wrote the copy I \\a\o \ \
before mo Is responsible for my fate. No
human being can read it. He cannot read
It himself Tonight I shall jump u freight ,
nnd , us I am somewhat shaky from recent
jigs , will probably fall off nnd bo killed.
My blood bo on his head. ' This remarkable
paragraph , appearing without rhyme or rea
son In the mlddlo of Barton's brilliant edi
torial , astonished the readers of the paper
next morning. When the colonel recovered
sulllclently to get u club and rush down to
the ofllco the tramp printer had vanished , " n

The earth Is God's footstool so wise men
wiotc. H It Is , then the little Island of
Tahiti Is the golden tassel on the footstool
1r 1C this favored paradise In the far Pacific ,
relates a writer In the New York Tlmo ,
landscape 1 nnd life merge Into n delicious
dream , and both are Impressionists. Neither
will submit to photography or the pen
' Years of study cannot Ucmlzo the picture
> To those who have visited this coral-reefed
spot there llnnem forever In the memory
i n soft , sweet haze of shifting llRht nn < 1
shndc A wilderness of happy silence nnd
everlasting wise.
Think of a generous reef-bound expanse
of clear , transparent water , In whose limpid
depths flwlm myriads of finny dwarfs daz
zling the changing colors of the dying del
phin. Holow them a garden ot coral the
roses of the sea blossoming In a thousand
tints. A long , low stretch of beach , bor
dered by tall cocoanut trees , palms and ever-
blooming bushel. Long rows of cheerful
cottages , almost hidden by the spreading
branches of the breadfruit trees. Tall moun
tain peaks , rising until they nro lost In a
lacework of clouds. Brawny men darting
here and there In fruit-laden cnnoos an i
bevies of dark-eyed girls strolling Idly along
the sward. That Is Tahiti as seen from
thp side of the Incoming ship the most ex
quisite , fascinating and gorgeous spot on
the face of the earth.
No ono over went to Tahiti without leav
ing with a pang of regret , nnd I cnn Join
In the score of writers from Charles War
ren Stoddnrd to Robert Louis Stevenson ,
who have \lslted Its shores , and say that
a few months spent In its sunshine and In
the hospitality of Its people cnn never , ne\er
bo forgotten.
Tahiti lies somewhere In that mysterious
part of the South Pacific whore two dayc
are rolled Into one In order to sot aright
the conventional calendar ; where tomorrow
becomes today Avlth a subtle charm that Is
almost overwhelming. You go there by a
llttlo whlto brig from San Francisco , which
skims over the waters of the went , taking
up the best part of a month before landing
you In this world of Idleness and peace.
Life In Tahiti Is tlio nearest approach to
the Ideal In all the world. Outside of Its
principal city , Papeete , which Is the com
mercial center of all the Islands In the So
ciety group , ofwhich Tahiti Is one , the nn-
tlvos pass their days In a listless dreami
ness , at pcaco with themselves end all the
world. Fancy being In a land where money
Is spurned. I once had the audacity to offer
a Tahitian a dozen dollars for staying at his
home , eating his food and talking him nearly
to death , revealing to his untutored mind
the wonders of the United States , and to
my surprise ho threw it to the ground , hav
ing been greatly insulted. If these we
iboard with over here would only get Insulted
as easily as that ! The only payment ttiat
a Tahitian wants for his hospitality Is for
the person to whom It Is offered to accept it ,
The Tahiti Olrl.
Much moro than has been written has
been heard about the lovely Tahiti girl.
Tall , languorous , with the modesty of a
Castlllau ; walking Ilko a queen In her
Mother Hubbard gown and her flowcr-
wreadied hat ( with tbeso two articles the
attire of the Tahiti girl ends ) , with her long
black hair , glistening with cocoanut oil ,
hanging to her waist , she Is one of the most
attractive of her sex , Besides many per
sonal charms that might turn the head of
an anchorite , she possesses the most attrac
tive gifts. Her eyes are black , her counte-
nnace Is expressive and though the warm
sun has tinged her cheeks with a hue of
brovv.i , her complexion Is as clear as the
sky above her. Best of all , she owns her
own little home , where roses always bloom
nnd the breadfruit tree and taro plant grow
In profusion. A certain acreage of land sur
rounding It is hers also and she is absolutely-
Independent and can do exactly as she likes
and she does Every night In Papeete
scores ot girls and men come down the by
ways leading to the market place , where
they congregate to sell their strings of flow
ers and shells and to join in the dally fes
tivities. Finished with their evening meal ,
they come to gossip , dance and make merry.
Aiound the great fountain , throwing its sil
ver bubbles to the big red stars , they chant
their soulful music to the wailing strains
of an accordion. Bursts of bibulous hilar
ity come from the Spanish-like edifices that
suiround the market place. Shy damsels
promenade with the visiting Europeans , the
ofllcors of the Flench men-of-war , the array
of municipal officials and their own hranny
lovers , exchanging the same old secrets that
have been handed down through the mystery
of ages.
So the evening passes In melody , drink
and love. Then the curfewon the little
whlto Catholic church tells that the hour
of 10 has come and the great mass of : nerry-
makers suddenly stop their buzzing pleasures
and silently lilo down the long : lanes along
the beach and through the cocoanut groves
to the rows of thatched cottages. Red and
radiant the mellow moon fills the air with
a magic light. The dead silence filled with
the heavy perfume Ib broken only by the
unceasing pounding of old ocean against the
barrier of coral , sending a hollow , rolling
boom over the pallid soa. Ono by one the
lamps ' go out , the mosquito nets am spread >
around the bedatends and Tahiti Is asleep.
L'llHllllllN. '
The American who visits Tahiti for the
first time will find himself In a land entirely Bl
unllko any other iplaco In the world. The
conventionality of Introduction there Is '
barred. In Papeete , of course , where the :
fccat of government IB situated , and where
the foreign consuls reside , a certain form of
society and dress Is Kept up which t-omf-
whiit resembles our New- York forms. But
out In the districts , out In the deep valleys
by the rivers , whore the cocoanuts grow ,
nnd the vanilla and coffee plantations thrive
In the feiin , there Is where the visitor
banishes his foreign cufatoms nnd becomes a
nntlve H Is not customary to wait for an
n
Invitation ' before visiting a Tahitian , Just
go. Walk Into his plantation , and up to his ,
door. You will find it open , nnd you will
not bo greeted by a dog that loves to show .
his teeth or a servant with a salver You
will be greeted by the host himself brawny , .
muscular and smiling with outstretched
hands. Ho will call all his family and all
his neighbors to tfo how ho has been
honored. He will give you the best chair
and toll his boy to stand 1 > y and fan away [
the robust mosquito , He will get-you young
cocoanutti to drink and grapes that would
pale thoBo of Hamburg hothouse fame , and
when you have been refreshed he will show
you to your room , and tell you to lay your
American clothes aside , and to dress In
Tahiti fashion. This consists of a eugur
cano hat , a whlto shirt and a parcu a piece
of colored print about four feet square ,
-
which Is wound around the waist.
Once In Tahiti garb the charm of Tahiti
begins to dawn. Once In this garb , lying i
under a leafy mango tree , listening to the
brook murmuring softly as It winds ltn way
through the underbrush to the sunlit sea ,
watching the deep red Honors drop from the
branches of the fa run a , and hearing the
