advertisement of the st. Louis Stock Yards
i'm this paper. 1t is of peculiar interest to
them of this section. The class of cattle
raised i'm Southeast Missouri are peculiarly
adapted to the st. Louis butcher market, and
that trade belongs almost exclusively to the
Union Stock Yards. II such cattle 60 to the
stock yards in East st. Louis, the spectators
from the Union Yards go over there and buy
them and stand the expense Of bringing them
to these yards, pay yardage on them, and
still make money on them, selling them to
st. Louis butcher. Therefore, isn't it better
for the shipper to pocket the middle mans
profit by shipping direct to the Union Stock
Yards? They keep an agent at Lesperance
st. all the time, to meet incoming stock for
their yards, and he sees that it is put through
without delay, and in fact goes through him
self with the stock. A shipper will save time
by going there, and avoiding delays of trans
fer and switching. We guarantee to all who
ship to the yards, courteous treatment, and
are convinced that it is to the interest of
shippers of cattle, sheep and hogs, to patron
ize the Union Stock Yards. For any infor-
nation let them address either Don Nc. n.
Palmer, the Superintendent, or Mr.. Ramsay,
Secretary; they will cheerfully and promptly
answer all enquiries concerning the business.
The boys got good joke on Judge Emer-
son last week, or rather lie was the unthink-
ing author of the joke himself. The Judge,
though always accurate in business matters,
is now and then, when absorbed in some
deep study, absent minded as to formal
L.,
letters, and the like. The other day he was
in hurry to get his dinner, and ran across
the street from his Office to the American
Hotel, ate his dinner, paid for it, and return
ed ut once 10 his Office. Though he was en-
tirely alone, without regard to age, sex or
previous condition of servitude," and merely
stopped long enough to eat his dinner, he
in hastily writing his name on the hotel reg
lister. wrote himself and wife, and never no.
ticed it any more until it appeared in the
Ironton papers. He came around and
wanted to know of the boys, "what in the
dundereens" they meant by printing it that
way. But the boys assured him that sit was
so denominated in the bond" and if he had
got joke on himself he might as we'll "set
'em up" The Judge went and looked at
the hotel register, scratched his head, and
said ''by the immortal Sipio" it was his
mistake and he'd have to "set 'em up;"
and the boys were happy. That's about
as good as another absent minded scientist
we know not far off, who says grace at be-
ginning of meals and forgets about it, and
every time his wife returns to the table with
the coffee-pot and seats herself, he stops and
says grace again, unless his wife winks at
him or pulls his sleeve. About equal to 10.
Huff adding "Clerk," to the end of his name
on Iove-letter! Or, certain Coroner in
st. Louis who wrote q very graceful letter of
congratulation to bride, and added to the
end of his signature, Coroner"
