"Will there be as large a number of
cattle shipped this season as last 2" was
asked Of Mr.. Thomas Stu, gis, secretary of
the Stockgrowers' Association, yesterday.
There will undoubtedly be a larger
number. The prices brought last season
were so small that everybody ceased ship
ping just the moment he had realized
enough money to allow him to do so"
''Wh hat are the indications as to prices
the present season.
'"They will undoubtedly be higher than
they were last year for the reason that
cattle are in much better condition. Last
season was not a good season for placing
cattle in the best possible condition. 1t
was too wet, This season, on the con-
trary, has been a remarkably fine one for
that purpose. With better cattle, Of
course the prices to be realized will be
greater.
is the calf crop. reported as large or
small the present season ?
1T depends upon the section of coun-
try you speak about entirely. North of
the North Platte river the crop is large
much larger than last season South of
the Platte it is somewhat smaller, Fewer
than the usual number of six and seven
months old calves are noticeable on the
ranges, the men tell me. Some of the
early calves were probably nipred by the
cold weather.
The outlook for the season ship
mems is good though ?"
Decidedly so.

ONE OF GEoRGIA's LATEST
"FACTs ."-On last Saturday our
town was treated to the novelty of
seeing a boy walking on his hands,
and curious crowd gathered
around him. He was rather re-
ticent in regard to his affliction,
but conversed freely upon other
topics. He was born without legs
and walks Oh his hands from neces-
sity. His body and arms are in
perfect shape, though the latter are
larger than usual tor his years.
His hands extended below the ex.
tremities of his body, and with
them he can keep pace with an Or
dinary walker. He was three or
four years old before he could walk
at all, but he is now about fifteen
and seems to move along as easily
as If he were walking on legs. He
can play on the violin and do other
little things which do not require
him to move. His name is John
Miller, and his home is near Reeves
Station, in this oounty.-Calhoan
(Ga.) Times.

SWALLOWED A D0LL.-A re-
markable story comes from Wood.
land. A little child OF that town,
aged two years, has been ailing for
some time. and, as the local physi-
clans could not discover the cause,
the parents took the child to San
Francisco, where it was examined
by the leading physicians, who
we're equally as successful in their
search for the ailment. 1t seemed
that the infant must slowly die,
and the parents resigned all hopes
of saving its life. But while the
little one was receiving the custo.
mary morning bath a short time
since, a knot about the size of an
egg was discovered in its side,
which had formed very suddenly
and seemed to contain some hard
substance. A physician was called
aud decided to cut open the knot.
Upon doing 90 it was found to con.
tain china doll about two inches
long, which the child had swallow
ed about a year since. The little
one rapidly improved after the
operation, and is now as we'll and
lively as ever.-San Francisco Alta.

TANISHEB HOURS.

Where are they gone, those dear dead
days,
Those sweet past days of long ago,
Whose ghosts 20 floating to and fro
When evening leads ns through her maze :
Where are they gonei All. who can tell :
Who weave once more the long passed
spell
They did exist when we were young;
We met cur life with strength and trust,
We deemed all things were pure aud
just,
Nor knew lifs had double touge
We lightly sang a hapPs song,
Nor deemed our way eoHld e'er be wrong.
And then all changed as life went by,
The friend deceived, Of bitter death
Smiled as he drask our dear ones
breath,
Aud would not les us also die.
Day followed day as on they went
Each took some gift that life haf sent.
Yet it was ours. that perfect past
We did have days that knew no pain,
We once had friends that Death had moi
ta'en,
And flowers and songs that could not las
Were ours in the most blessed time,
When earth seemed heavens enehante,
cline.
And so l think when lights burn low
Aud all the house is fast asleep,
From out silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days we worshipped SC
Breathe ou us from their hidden stor
Their long lost peace, their faith ono
more.
God keep those dear old times; ah me-
Beyond our vision may they rest
Till on some perfect day and blest
Once more those dear dead days will be,
For Death, who took all, may restore
The past We loved, to us once more.

HOT SUMMERS In HISTORY
Thermometer Burst. Meat Cooked
In the sun and Rivers Dried
Up.

People who are complaining of
the beat should remember the ex-
traordinary weather OF former
years. In 527 the heat was so great
in France aud Germany that all
springs dried up; water became SO
scarce that many people died of
thirst. In $40 work in the fields
had to be given up; agricultural
laboreIs persisting in their work
were struck down In few minutes,
so powerful was the sun. In 993
the suns lays were so fierce that
vegetation burned mp as under the
action of fire. ln 1000 rivers that
ran dry under the protncted feat,
the fish were lett dry iu heaps and
putrefied in q few hours. The
stencil that ensued produced tue
plague. Men and ennimals ventur-
ing IN the sun in the summer OF
1922 fill down dying, the throat
parched to a finder aud the blood
rushing to the brain.
In 1882 not only did the rivers
dry mp, but the ground cracked on
every side and became baked to
the hardness ot stone. The Rhine
IN Alsace nearly dried up. Italy
was visited with terrific heat in
1889; vegetation aud plants were
burned up. During the battle OF
Bella, in 100, there were more vic.
Tins made by the sun than by wea.
pons: men fell down sun struck in
regular rows. The summer of 1911
was also severe there was an ab
solute dearlh OF iorarge. In 13Ot
and 1904 the Rhine, Loire and Sein,
ran dry. In 10l6 the heat through
out Europe became excessive. Scot
land suffered particularly in 1925
| men and beasts died in scores. Th'
heat In several departments duriui
lhe summer of 1905 was equal Il

many shops had to close the thea
tres never oped their doors for sev

In 1853 the thermometer rose t.
lis degrees. In 1879 the heat a
Bologna was so great that u nun
Der of the people were stitied
There was not sufficient air for the
, breath, and people had to tax,

7 the heat became intolerable. Vege
tables were burned up, aud frui
dried upon the trees. The furni
, ture aud woodwork in dwelling
houses cracked and split up; mea
became bad in an hour. The river
ran dry IN several provinces during
, 1911 I; expedients had to be devise,
