Prospects Are Brighter.

Philip ID. Armour. the great Chi
cago packer, has the following to
say regarding the prospects in the
stock and grain trade. which SO
vitality affects general business:
The whole business situation
looks improved to me-" The senti-
ment has changed. We can feel it
distinctly in our business. Armour
d Co. are large holders now, and
make no secret of it. The merchant
is inclined to make purchases again.
His stocks are gone. He has his
courage back. AS it seems to US,
there never was a healthier position.
The railroads will probably have to
wait for the next crop; but such
SHOWS as the country has had this
winter mean big crops next summer.
1t especially means that in the
northwest. A lot of snow always
means lot of spring wheat in the
fall. That is a never failing sign
with St. Paul. | am believer in
provisions. The foreign demand is
such, now that there is not a short
sold up to March and have stopped
Offering. 1t must be the same way
with other manufacturers. The
southerners have had plenty of corn
and more hogs of their own than us
ual; but their supply is running
short. Their stock will be gone in
80 DAYS. l expect to see the south
ern demand supplement the foreign
in about month. 1t has been an
axiom of mine ever since have been
in the business that the hogs are
wear behind the corn About next
June the scarcity will show itself.
Then there is the cattle situation. 1
sent to all my buyers to get their
views on the prospect. All of these
men, raised in the business and
trained to feel the situation, were of
one mind-that there was serious
scarcity ahead. Both ends CT the
hog will get the benefit of that, the
ham and the shoulder. They are
sweet picked and compete with beef.
They show the effect of the advance in
beef already. The ham trade is
double what it was last year, and
that is the best indication of the con-
sumptive situation. The Spectator
is bear on provisions still. He has
been beat in everything he has
bought-wheat, corn product, or
anything else. He is tired. But the
consumer will do the business next
summer; the foreigner and the south
erner in the market at the same
time. There will have to be some
scratching before it is over"

DOoLIN AND ROBIN HOOD.

When it is looked into there can be
little question that Romance, rs Ro-
nance, died several years. or better,
several centuries ago. Take for in
stance the outlaws Of the Indian Ter
ritory. Their life is certainly roman
tic. Their daily life is made up Of
daring. Their courage is always with
them and their rifles as We'll They
are kind to the benighted traveller.
and it is not a fiction that when rob-
bing Il train they refuse to take from
woman.
1t is even said that Bill Doolin, at
present the reigning highwayman, is
friendly TO the people in one neigh
borhOod, calling upon them often, do
ing them many kind service and
beStOwing all sorts OF presents upon
the children. 1t is his boast that he
never killed a man.
This is as fully romantic 4 figure as
Robin Hood ever cut Everyone is
friendly to the memory Of Robin Hood
with his suit of Lincoln green and
the feather of leadership stuck at a
rakiSh angle in his greenwood cap.
When we read Of Robin Hoods plum
dering expeditions we wish him good
luck and share all his zeal in re
lieying travellers Of their surplus
wealth. And yet we have no license
to sympathize with this thief. except
the trumped up excuse that Robin
Hood was i Saxon and had been op-

But without excuse or license Robin
Hood was a gallant good fellow: an
outlaw and Il bold one; fierce and

But Bill Doolin is not dressed up in

in his cap. He does not carry Il long

but with his rifle and his skill he could
wipe out Il dozen Robin Hood gangs
