WESTWARD the hog-st as we'll as the
star of empire takes its way. Cincinnati
long since lost its prou prominence as
the pOrkOpolis Of America and its hon
ors and its hogs were transferred to Chi
cago. Now however the porcine soepter
is departing from the Queen city OF the
lakes. and the clay hills OF the wonder
ful city on the banks OF the Kaw and
the Big Muddy will soon heir the crown
of bris;lrs. Armour, OF Chicago, says
that hogs are twenty five cents hun
dred less in Kansas city than in Chica-
GO, while the rates Of shipment to the
sea board are not more than half that
amount in favor OF Chicago. Against
this odds Chicago cannot compete, par
ticularly as no little OF the product is
marketed In the great southwest, which
lies fully as near to Kansas city as IL
does to Chicago. Kansas city is the
wonder OF the Missouri valley. Only to
herself she is no wonder, for her faith
in herself is Of the kind that removes
mountains and believes all things pos
sible.

for being a star than Geronimo has for

And then O'erhung by weight of grief,
deemed life little worth.
How oft | asked why cruel fate,
That rent my heart in twain.
Had spared my life but to exist
In misery and pain.
For me all hope had passed away.
And ClOuded was my life;
No love, thought |, could bless my days,
No one could be my wife.
The dreams of home, of children dear,
OF Joys that manhood crave.
OF happy days in welded bliss
Lay buried in her grave.
Time passed, and beheld your face.
And felt affections glow,
Then came the hope that Love might yet
Its happiness bestOw.
And when your hand was placed in mine
With honest .ovo and true,
lived again, LIES shadows wore,
Hopes welcome, golden hue
My life has checkercd been and sad
My joys and sorrow great,
And yet kind Providence / thank.
For this, my happy, state.

To struggle on in life.
