The receipts of cattle today were fair.
The small amount of good stock on sale
kept prices from declining on that grade,
but on the common and medium stuns
there was a dull sale and buyers would
pay only the poorest prices Stock steers
common and medium cows and medium
bulls sold lower. Good butcher COWS and
heifers are in demand at fair prices. The
market closed about steady on good cattle.

AMERICAN FABLES.

The Clam, the Owl and the Traveller.
A Traveller who was making his way
along the seashore espied an Owl perched
in Tree on the Beach, and near BY reposed
Clam. The Owl winked and blinked, but
preserved Silence, and the Clam had its
Shell tightly closed and gave no sign.
"Ah, but here is Wisdom. indeedp' ex-
claimed the Traveller. 81 doubt not that
both of these would give me valuable Ad-
vice if could only Prevail upon them to
Talk"
Thereupon He Coaxed and Entreated
them by turns to Break through their
Silence, and at the end of half an hour the
Owl opened its Mouth and uttered a Harsh
and Dismal Hoot. The Clam at the same
time opened its Shell and yawned sleepily.
''Great Scotsl but how l have wasted
my timer exclaimed the Traveller 1.-THE
one but opened his mouth to make Dis
cord, and the other to show that he had no
brainsT'
Moral-The man who never Talks can
only be criticised for what he Doesn't say.
The Man, tho Elephant and the Fly.
A sewing machine agent who was Trav-
cling across the country on foot saw al
Elephant approaching, and to Avoid the
Danger he climbed a large Tree on the
Weekly Installment Plan. The Elephant,
who was firm Believer in the Force Bill,
passed on his Way without seeing the
Agent, but the latter had scarcely Uttered
a Chuckle of satisfaction when he was Bit
ten so Severely by Small Fly that he
Fell from his Perch and was Grievously
wounded.

Head and bitten my TongueP' walled the
