larger than usual for the season. partcu-

money markets are showing more signs Of

collections are somewhat less satisfactory

are exceedingly firm, with a tendency to

The other passengers in the street
car looked at Helen Martin in open
approval. She saw the pleasant CLAN

called out by her own sweet smile and
merry eyes. She was thinking us she
glanced down at a neat brown paper
that she carried, "HOw mortified, how

There is no denying that Helen
was a little vain Of her pretty clothes,
and that she hated to carry queer
looking bundles, but it must lie said
for her that she had offered cheerily
to bring home that cold ham for sup

Suddenly she was dismayed to see
that the neat package was neat no

peared all over it. She signaled to "a

The Trailing Of Ga e 20 tic Markets
which Is Now No More.
The building Of railroads from
Texas up through New Mexico and
Colorado and the Indian Territory TO
Dodge City has effectually done away
with the trailing OF cattle TO the
markets, which formed one OF the
most remarkable features OF early
Western life. The trail, thousands
OF miles long and AZ feet wide, was
thrOnged with herds numbering from
800 TO 5000 head from early spring
till late fall. an the morning, says
Ric! ard Harding Davis, in Harper's
Weekly, "the camp wagon pushed on
ahead To suitable resting place for
the night, and when the herd ar
rived later, moving, on an average
fifteen miles day and grazing rs it
went, the men would find the supper
ready and the tents pitched. And
then these who were TO watch that
night would circle slowly around the
great army Of cattle, driving them
in closer and closer together and
singing as they rode to put them to
sleep. This seems an absurdity to
the Eastern mind, but the sound OF
something familiar Quoted and salts
fed these great, stupid animals that
can be sO0:hed like a child with a
nursery ryhmc and when frightened
could not be stopped by river. The
boys rode slowly and patiently until
one and then another of the herd
would stumble clumsily TO the ground
and others near would follow, and at
last the Whole great herd would lie
silent and immoyable in sleep. But

Nothing Yet Heard of the Missing Cunard-

Nothing has yet been heard OF the Gu

bold front and appear cheerful and
confident of her safe arrival soon, there arc
indications that Vernon II. Brown, the
American agent of the line, is much wor-

is not the only one who is anxious, for as
soon as the office In Bowling Green

Among the possibilities of the cause of her

People Of fashion have tendency
to reduce the domesticS Of house

rules for the coachman, drawn up by
the author Of Book on the Horse. {"
"The coachman shall sit i'm a straight
but not stiff position, with the arms
touching his body. the legs stretched
forward heel TO heel, on the right
