KANSAS CITY, NO.. Sept 12.-F. h.
Brice. a butcher, was examined by the
Senatorial meat investigating COMMITTEES
yesterday and proved q most interesting
witness He corroborated Mr.. Armour in
the statement that the determination Of
the people to eat only the fine cuts of beef
was the cause of no apparent reduction in
the price of meat at the block.
Mr.. Brice has been a butcher for thirty
years He said twenty years ago he
got more for round steak than for loin.
The people. he said, had been educated
to eat the better class OF meat
by the packing houses. 1t had been
brought about by the packers trim
ming the fine parts of the beef
closer and closer, thus giving the people
only the very choicest Of meat.
1ueSo Inc pdCkcISs NC eoios
used to can and barrel and this line of
beef had been profitable, but he did not
know what the price was on this class of
product Before the packing houses did
this, the parts of beef termed fine cuts
weighed double what they do now.
Mr.. Brice said there were from $50 to 300
butchers in Kansas City. There was q
sort of butchers association. h be-
longed, but took no active part. This as
ISOLATION had nothing to do with fixing
the prices of beef. He said but few Of the
butchers knew their business and none OF
them were making money. There was but
one butcher in the city who killed his own
beef. The reason for this, he said was
the fact that it was cheaper for the
butchers to buy the dressed beef Mr..
Brice was positive that the retail price Of
beef would be higher if the butchers had
to do their own killing. The butchers
could buy the live cattle for the same price
az the packers, but the packers
could kill much cheaper. He be-
lieved the packing houses were q
benefit to the people and were not the
consumers so particular about the quality
of meat eaten. the price would be lower.
Mr.. Brice said he did not believe the
packers were making more than a fair
profit He said he knew Of no means
used by the packers to compel
butchers to buy the dressed beef
Butchers bought it because they knew
it was cheaper than for them to kill for
themselves Every packer. he said. re-
tailed meat at his place Of business, but
that was the only attempt at butcher
shops that he knew OF Eight years ago.
he said, the packers tried to run retail
shops but soon gave it up a bad job.

Fellow citizens: There is a time for all

sweeten human lives. When hearts are tired
by the ceaseless pressure of common things, it
is pleasant to est in the shadows Of noble

can not all be spoken and hopes that thrill like
bugles in the morning air. This day we are
summoned to higher purposes: this hour the
bronze lips of our old commander plead with

NORWEGIAN BREAD.

Potatoes and Rye Mixed Together and
Baked In Thin Cakes.
Bread-maIxing was another industry
which we had a good opportunity Of
seeing while we changed horses at one
of the stations.
Contrary to our expectations, we
found white bread everywhere, but the
common bread is heavy bread, the
chief Ingredient of which is rye 1t is
always sour; the good housewife in
tends it to be so. They also have "fat
bread, made of potatoes and rye. 1t
was this kind of bread that the two
women whom we happened in upon
were making. They were in little
underground room, unlighted except
from the door. The walls were of
stone and the floor was of
earth. They were seated .on
either side of a long low table,
upon which were huge mounds of
dough. The one nearest the door cut
off a piece of this, and nodded it and
rolled it out to a certain degree Of thin
ness; then the other one took it, and
with the greatest care rolled it still
more At her right hand was the fire.
place, and upon the Goals was a red
piece Of iron forming a huge griddle
more than halt a yard across. The
bread matched this very nearly in size
when it was ready to be baked, and it
was spread out and turned upon the
griddle with great dexterity, and as
soon as it was baked it was added. to
the great heap on the floor.
The woman said she should continue
to bake bread for thirty days She had
a large family of men, who consumed
a great deal; they had to bake very
often in consequence. In many places
they do not bake bread oftener than
twice year; then it is circumstance
like haying or harvesting. We heard
an Englishman say of this bread of the
country: "One might eat an acre Of IT

A Pathetic story Of irish Life and wO-

In cabin on sunny hillside over
