CATTLE Cattle receipts were light is
usual on a Friday, only seventeen cars
being reported In. This brings the total
for the five days this week up to 15,000
head, a falling oft of over 4,000 head as
compared with last week and a year ago.
In spite of the moderate receipts the
market has not been very active, espe
cially on beef steers, owing to the fact
of Its being the last week of Lent, when
the buying demand Is seldom good.
With very light offerings of beef steers
In sight this morning tho market contin
ued about steady. For the most part
offerings changed hands m fair season
In the morning, but as compared with a
weeK ago heavy cattle are l&jfzoo lower,
while light handv cattle are steady.
Cows and heifers were in fair demand
considering that it was Friday, and the
meager offerings were soon disposed of.
Prices were- n,ot only steady with yester
day, but with a week ago. Good to choice
heifers are at the high point of the season.
Stock cattle and feeders did 'lot snow
any marked change, being generally
steady with yesterday. Good feeding
Hteers and stock calves are fully steady
with last week, but there has been somo
little weakness on the plain stock cattlo
and In some places prices are perhaps a
little lower than" last week.
Speculators had a good many stock
cattle and feeders on hand and as the
country demand proved disappointing the
market toward the close of the day took
on a very weak aspect and closed lower
even on the good kinds of feeding cattle.

SH EBP Plenty of life and snap
ruinr..i h rr.nrkot for fat sheep and
lnmbs todBy. This was due mainly to
llirht ,.lnt linlli InrilllV HIUl at mOSt
other outside points and to the fact that
the packers have received comparatively
little killing stuff during the forepart of
the week. As already noted th falling
oft In the receipts during tho previous
days of the week at South Omaha and
at the other live stock centers, was owing
to the crippled condition of tho railroads
as a result of tho severe snow storm that
passed over the country on thoso days.
While tho quality of tho offerings could
be classed as only fair this morning,
anything that would do at all for killing
purposes seemed to be In good request
at prices steady to a dtmo higher than
on Thursday. Everything was weighed
up at a comparatively early hour jnd
the trade was considered very satisfac
tory from a seller's viewpoint.
As of late lambs comprised the greater
part of the supply, half of which went
to tho packers and the other half was
picked up by feeder buyers. The killers
were all fed westerns and being largely
on the fair to good order changed hands
mostly at 18.40, this being the highest
price for the day. Lambs on the feeding
order consisted mostly of hay fed offer
ings from Montana ana soia ai a ntiisu
of 17.9038.15. Tho supply of aged sheep
was extremely light, consisting of three
cars of ewes, two of wethers and one of
bucks. The ewes wero only of mediocre
quality and went to the packers at 16.35.
The wethers wero considered very good
and brought 6.C5.
Trarin fnr thn Week Is dosing Oil a
fairly satisfactory basis, as lambs are
quotably strong to a dime-higher than
a week ago, with aged sheep and year
lings selling at good strong figures.

American Ingenuity has thought out a
good many original plans, but perhaps
nobody before Miss Grace M. Putnam ot
Landing, N. J., solved he problem that
confronted her In exactly the same way
that she did.
Miss Putnam Is pretty and the pos-.
sessor of a particularly fetching dimple,
which were no doubt factors In her suc
cess ns a pedler. She cleared $250 on
her venture, besides seeing the sights ot
England and having her living.
What made her do such a thing? every
body asks,
Well, she did It chiefly because she
wanted to and because sho was born
with a spirit of adventure. Just ns was
her great-grandfather, a Salem man, who
went to the Arctio regions with the
Grlnnell expedition long ago.
Miss Putnam was born nnd brought
UP In tho Back Bay In Boston. She was
educated privately and came out In so
ciety after the manner of her friends,
but nt the end of her first season society
palled upon her and sho was bored.
Then her father had reverses ot,for-;
tuna and the trip she had expected to
make to Europe had to be abandoned
for n time.
Now she wanted to go to Europe. She
wanted to do England, and It was the
only thine about her father's reverses
that troubled her.
And this waa when she put on her
thinking cap and the Idea camo that oho
would earn her way to Eeurope, She
called her Idea a "subliminal uprush," a
term she learned when she studied psy
chology In school, and the subliminal
uprush brought up with It the idea to
be a pedler.
A Orent Secret.
She never told a soul. Ol dear, no;
that would have ended everything, for
her people believed In good form Just as
much as they believed In baked beans.
And so she' kept her own counsel and
saved the money she received for a
spring wardrobe and bought her ticket
to England, carrying with her a trunk-
ful of American novelties that cost about
$25 in all. There were all kinds ot trick
things, such ob fakirs sell on the streets
for a cent or two rubber things that
spring out of balls, nnd Jumping mice,
etc., etc. and thcro were all kinds of lit
tle American made things, all of which
wero stored In bright flowered candy
boxes, which sho had begged from her
friends.
When sho arrived on the other side
sho went to the headquarters ot the
English Woman's Christian association
and asked them to advise her about a
cheap room. She got one and there
prepared her wares. She bought an
ample hamper basket lind two long
straps, a rubber coat and hat and shoes,
all of which were very Inexpensive.
Then an English woman promised to
care tor her trunk till she should re
turn and she started out on foot to
peddle.
Well, tho scheme was a tremendous
success. Of course, there wore some
outs about It and not a few ndventures,
but taken as a whole It passed the girl's
fondest dreams ot it as she had planned
It In the beginning,
She trudged along the beautiful Eng
lish roads and stopped at every house
by the way.
The Dimple In Action.
She rang the bell and said with sv
radiant smite nnd showing up her dimple
to tho best advantage: "I'm an Ameri
can girl; I'm a peddler and I've got some
charming American things for sale."
There was scarcely an Instance when
Corelll at Stratford on Avon, and more
over, teaching the temperament rt I author,
ess to make the randy. She will never
forget thn sight of the very plump au
thoress of tho "Sorrows of Painti" test
ing the candy In a glass of water and
burning her tongue on the spoon. Red
In tho face, eager and very amiable, the
unapproachable lady of Avon turned her
sweetest Vide to tho American girl and
they became good friends.
An automobile party of Americans over
took her nnd not only bought all her
stock of candy, but left an order for
countless pounds to be made and sent on
I to Ixjndon to them, and they gave her a
I 5 note and whirled away before she
could mention ohange. She sent the
candy to them as soon as she could
make It.
Another automobile party of Chicago
girls and their father overtook her and
Invited her to see several cathedrals.
They were profoundly Interested In her
story and they put up at the little Inn
In her town and came around the next
day and helped her make fudge and
taffy nnd old-faahlonwl peanut stick.
They said they had tht .time of their
lives and they bought all the candy sho
had.
Miss Putnam was gone from the middle
of May, to the first ot October and she
will never, never, never forget thn Joy of
her experience. New York Sun.

Scout, spy, war nurse, "underground
railroad" manager, a memorable figure
of the. civil war period has passed away
In the death of Harriet Tubman Davis
at Auburn. N. Y.
Harriet Tubman was born a slave In
Maryland. Of Ashantee blood, descend
ant of tribal chiefs, she possessed an
unconquerable spirit and Immense physi
cal strength, surpassing that of most
men. To avoid being "sold south" In
her youth, she followed the north star
of freedom, but soon waa back teaching
other negroes the road she had trod.
Rewards amounting to $40,000 were offered
In Virginia and Maryland, for her ar
rest. Harriet Tubman was invaluable as sn
"underground-railroad" agent In tho
north. While in this work she led the
mob that rescued Charles Nalle, a fugi
tive slave, In Troy. Though beaten upon
the head by policemen's billies, she
thrashed two of them and aided the res
cue with her mighty muscles, In her
(station of the Underground at Auburn,
with the financial support of William H,
Seward, she sent many a refugee to
Canada. Appointed as a nurse to Colonel
Shaw's famous pegro regiment In lfc63.

No one had ever seen such amusing

such a charming manner, not to say so

her meals free, but she always Insisted
on paying for them with something from
her store.
When she camo to the end of her
hamper stock she stayed a week at
charming cottage, paying for her board
at ten shillings a week ($2.60), and the
housewife permitted her to use the range,
and here she made candy of all kinds,
buying the sugar and molasses and but
ter and nuts at a nearby shop and every
day she went out on a tour with her
hamper filled with home-ma'de American
candy. She packed It In the American

a different direction and sold her strange

rose-covered cottage and made candy to
sell, This time she was a few minutes'
walk from Chester and she did a
flourishing business, and finally had her
trunk sent on from Liverpool and then
went out from Chester In all directions
selling curious American things and
wonderful American candy.
Sometimes sho was asked to teach the
housewives to make the candy Instead ol
paying for her dinner or lunch or sup
per or lodging, and so she saved a great
part of her earnings.
She stayed on and on long nftrr she
had sold her trunkful of things, going

the house needs paint, but I don't see
anything wrong about that"
"Oh. ot course you don't, because you
are the grandmother of ull easy marks.
If Pumnhoad came along and recom

Squigg to paint his house, and If you
have any memory at all you must recall
what happened. When the painter ar

would have to be burned off and he be
gan to do It, with the result that he set
the house on fire nnd the firemen cam
nnd squirted water over everything on
the place and Squigg has been trying
ever since to get the Insurance and hasn'
got It yet. Everything he wears smells
of smoke and he walks with a limp be'

Metcalfe said he submitted the resolu

Metcalfe's colleagues objected.
"If wo ha-ven't done a good service to

harm," said Senator Hengaii, "To adopt
the resolution presented by Mr. Metcalfe
would Interfere with tho work of this

Dr. E. Holovtehlner pointed out that
something might come up demanding Itn

said, would tie the hands of ever- mem

Before Physicians
NEW YORK, March 21.-In tho nres-
ence of scores of physicians,, gathered
from all parts of the country, many of
tnem representing city health boards, Dr.
iTieaencu v. i-riedmann, treated thirty,
five patients with his tuberculosis vac
cine today. Twenty-nine of tho suf
ferers wero deformed babies. Before
holding his demonstration, tho Rerlln
specialist issued a statement advlslu
oijt-of-towii persons not to come to New
York with the hope of being treated until
after the government had passed on hi
vaccine at the conclusion of Us Inquiry,
At the doors of the hospital for de
formltles and Joint diseases, Dr. Fried
mann was beset by a throng of suffer
ers who Implored film to treat them. Th
patients he attended, however, already
hud been selected, and he had to force
his way gently through tile crowd of dl
appointed men and woman. A mother
with a child sank to her kntes, holding
tha baby toward the physician In out
stretched arms.
During the cllnlo a 17-year-ld boy
walked Into the operating room. He waa
a patient treated with the vaccine twelve
days ago. "I.ook at my leg," ho said to
Dr. Frledmnnn, baring his knee, "when
you Injected your vaccine I could hardly
move, the leg was so swollen. Now
know that I will get well,"
The boy went through exercises
show the suppleness of his legs, and
then submitted to examination by th
gathered physicians.
00D00S OF HIGH FLYERS
Bryan Lauds Demos
and Their Beliefs
in Banquet Speech
Like most people wno play the game
' chance, aviators nro superstitious.
and those who do not look to some sign
or mascot for luck arc the exceptions,
They supplement tho ordinary supersti
tions with beliefs peculiar to tho profes-
on. What one aviator considers lucky
mny be the hoodoo of another. 1'or in
stance, the number 13 Is regarded as tho
lucky number of snvernl well known air
pilots. On the other hand, the four-leaf
clover, an ancient talisman, is shunned
many airmen.
llefnro Laffont nnd Pola were killed
Issy-les-Moullneaux, In h ranee, a
friend hoping lo bring them good luck
drew R four-leafed clover on the wing
f tho monoplane, but It seemed to have
tho roverBC effect. After tnat aviators
avoided the four-leafed clover.
There Is n galvanlicd Iron hangar at
Dover, England, that never shelters a
machine. There Is a superstition asso-
elated with It and tho average aviator
would rather expose his aeroplane to
anything than that hangar.
Cantaln Thomas S. llaldwln. tne vet
eran aviator, for more than twenty-five
ears has carried a flint which no money
could buy. Captain Baldwin could not
bo persuaded to start on nn air Journey
without his talisman. Ho has never nau
a serious accident, although he has flown
with every kind of air contraption ever
built. He has performed nlr stunts In
almost every part of the world and has
been decorated for his various achievements.
Curttss always wears the same old gray
cap and although he has frequently ad
mitted that a helmet Is a protection ho
never has used one. Through his ndvlco
many of his aviators wear the helmet.
Wilbur Wright never flew without hlB
shabby old Jacket, no matter who wcht
as his vassenger. In this Jacket he Is
photographed In his machlno sitting be
side King Alfonso.
Jeanne Harvue, daughter of the novel-
t and one of the foremost women filers.
has a pig fnr a mascot. She took It an a
flight and when It becamo older and un
manageable she kept It In her hangar.
Another aviator also has a pig and has
taken It for a ride.
Helene Dutrlcu Is said to wear a pair
of nrmy gaiters that belonged to her
father, who was an artillery officer. Sho
holds the duration record for he sex.
a lioer bullet taken from the skull
of a British soldier is tho talisman ot
Miss Edith Mazee, -who pilots a tricky
monoplane. She wears the bullet In n,

A green sweater Is said to be the good
luck omen of Baroness do la Roche, the
first woman In the world to drive an
aeroplane. Once sho flew without her

the air which almost cost her life, A few
months ago she was Injured n an auto
mobile accident, In which Yoleln, tho
builder of the machlno which she drove,
was killed. Before taking up aviation
