THE CATTLE DISEASE.
A Sharp Trick of Canadian Ex'
pOrters.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-Cattle exporters,
butchers and the Board of Health
unite In characterizing as simply nom
sensical the story OF disease among cat.
tie reared in the West, and say of the
Canada prohibition for three months,
that as cattle are most likely shipped
there from Montreal, water transpor-
tation is closed and business suspend
ed, and during the time Of prohibition
Canadians will be- enabled to dispose
of their distillery fed cattle. The steam
ship Canada took out TO day 170 head,
and shipments will continue With
interruption.
q SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. 4.-Gov.
Cullum to-day telegrsphed Presi'
dent Hayes saying that the ac
tion of the British Government in
respect to cattle shipments works great
prejudice to cattle raisers in the north
west where cattle are in excellent con
ditiOn, and suggesting that it is of vi
tai importance that these facts be pre-
sented in such form as to counter
act the influence Of false reports. The
President responded as follows: "The
Secretary of State has made a full
statement as to false reports about cat
tie disease to the British Government
The prospect is favorable"
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The Secreta
Iy of the Treasury has issued circular
to Collectors of Customs instructing
them that in no case will live animals
be permitted to be shipped from their
respective ports until after inspection
with reference to their freedom from
disease and Issuance of q certificate
showing they are in proper condi.
tion of health.

POETRY.
A Valentine.


While looking over letters old and yellow,
came across gorgeous valentine,
Quite covered Der with Cuplds. and with
roses,
Sent to me years ago, when youth was mine.
Ali well l miad the day that received it
seems at least g century ago;
I opened it with trembling haste and breath
With sweet expectancy my cheeks did glow.
How bright and beautiful looked then the
roses
Through all the years they've kept their
chsngeless hue;
read and read again the tender verses,
And treasured them a. youth and love can
do,
The Cupids now look very fat and stupid,
Up there on top, golden bar astride;
The verses, too, now sound q trife silly:
Youths rosy speclacles I've laid aside.
But, as sit and hold the gaudy tride,
My lost youth rises up before my view
The precious years when seasons were al
Summer,
When ev'ry path lay meath skies bright anc
blue.
Z How gladly would give the might of wisdom
Il since have gathered, to go back once more
And feel again tue thrill of1expectation
As when the postman left this at my door
This foolish little piece of silk and paper
Is fadeless, while my youth is dead anC
gone;
The hand that wrote the verses, cold anC
pulseless
And yet unchanged, unaltered is the song
Why keep reminders OF the bright days van
ished
Sc, valentine, bid you now goodbye;
watch the flame swell up and blight you
roses,
And from my heart comes one long, wistfu
sigh.
-fFsith Walton, in Chicago Tribune.

BE independent.

Don't hang araund and walt for

it win be done for you:
Ii you want to succeed, take Of your

II you are q woman, and Bridget
goes off il q huff, be independent, and
wash you. own dishes, and scrub your
own floors, and laugh in her face when
she comes back, expecting to be re-
ceived with open arms.
There is nothing like showing fate
even if 1t be in the shape Of an ILL
tempered Bridget, that you are inde-
pendent Of it, and Can get on without
it.
When people find you don't wan
any of their help they are always ca

do not stand in need of will be offered
you freely.
When you see duty before you, dt

something about you. What matters i
| if Mrs A. says you are fool, and Mr.
B. expresses the opinion that there i
something wrong in your upper story
What she says and what he says doe
not alter it.
Don't ask everybody's advice abou
everything. Have pluck enough &
decide for yourself. II you want t

day running about asking x, Y and
where you had better buy, or if yOI
hadn't better wait until grain falls.
Don't be slave as to what anybod.
