PETER COOPER, acknowledged
as one of the ablest financier of
this century, said in a speech de.
livered in 1876: ''The rich Of the
world are welded to gold, the
poor to silver. It is to the. inter-
est Of the rich and moneyed kings
to demonetise silver, and pake
gold the sole currency, because
they own the gold" This is a fact

CIGARETTES OF GREEN TEA.

cess.

In "SOclety,"
The green tea cigarette has arrived,
and promises to cause greater ravages
than its predecessor, the slender roll Of
alleged tobacco, which now poisons the
air almost everywhere in Asia, Europe
and American. The person who first
discovered that green tea would smoEe
is responsible, says the New York Jour
nal, for millions of disoId dered nerves,
stomachs and heads, but is probably
too far gone in alteration of the ener-
waiting habit to feel any remorse. Al
ready the new fad has taken posses
sion OF England; 1t will soon storm the
walls of Paris, and before we can
fortify against it here we shall be be-
sieged. 1t will penetrate the boudoir
of the ladies, and even the strait-laced,
orthodox public will see no harm in
an innocent tea cigarette. But none
the less deadly peril turks within it.
New areas for the growth of tea are
constantly opened up in the east, and
the product will be pushed with all the
energy of merchants determined to
make fortunes. We can even foregce
the time when to every pound of tea
purchased for legitimate consumption
as a cheering and noninebriating bever-
age the subtle grocer will add the
dainty package of tea cigarettes, en-
velOped in paper covered with pretty
Chinese or Ceylonese designs, thus uIg-
ing the entrance of the demon into the
household. There is but one compen-
Sating feature in the whole business,
and that is that at it's worst the tea
cigarette can never furnish an eff
fuvium so sitting as that of the Amer
lean paper roll with which every Office
boy deliberately exposes his lungs to
partial paralysis daily.

The st. Louis Market.

An ADVOCATE representative who
recently visited st. Louis wishes to
mention specially two leading firms in
whose business Western stockmen may
be interested.
The Western Sales Stables Company,
on North Broadway, have done great
deal toward making st. Louis the great
horse and mule market Of the world.
This firm has spent large sums of
money for the convenience of their
patrons, and their straightforward
dealing has made them many friends
among Western shippers. Among
their Kansas shippers are Messrs.
Lindsay and Wall, of Topeka, who are
always willing to speak a good word
for the firm. If the farmers Of Kan
sss could visit st. Louis and see the
prices at which horses are selling, they
would look upon the horse.buyer as
benefactor instead of an enemy trying
to beat them. Horse and mule shippers
should always remember the Western
Sales Stables.
Campbell & Minis, of the National
stock yards, have had wide experience
in handling high-clasS horses. Mr..
Minis has been thoroughly schooled In
the export trade, and by reason OF
their influence Mr.. Watson, of Glss'
cow, Scotland, will buy on this market
as long as he gets the kind of horses ne
desires. Parties having fine, high.
class coach, good knee actors, rangy
horses, can secure the highest market
prices through Campbell & Minis.
They are thoroughly reliable and take

ROUGH ON TIE SENTRY.
Tho Remedy Was All Right, But It Was
Given to the Wrong Man.

The Remedy Was All Right, But It Was
Given TO the Wrong Man.
One of the most amusing stories OF
the day treats of mistaken philan-
thropy, according to Tid-Bits. At n
certain army post there was London
sentry on duty near the hospital. The
surgeon was preparing to go to bed in
side, when he was annoyed and alarmed
at the sentry's coughing. His ex-
perienced ear told him that the man
had severe bronchial affliction need
ing a strong remedy.
He debated awhile with himself and
then going into the dispensing-roOm
compounded a powerful mixture. This
he took outside to the sentry, with in
structions to swallow it Immediately.
The man refused. The surgeon In
sisted, and finally commanded the
soldier to take the medicine, which he
did with much grumbling. Then the
worthy surgeon went to bed, pleased to
hear no more coughing.
Next morning, to his surprise, the
commanding officer sent for him and
said that the sentry had complained,
declaring that the surgeon had forced
him to swallow something he thought
was poison. An investigation followed,
and revealed the fact that while the
surgeon was mixing the medicine the
coughing sentry had been relieved, and
consequently the remedy had been
given to the wrong man.

THE KAISER AND THE TRAMP

and Good Advice.
An ancedote of the kaiser and the
tramp has just appeared in Berlin pa
pers, says the Pail Mall Gazette. Kaiser
William was, it seems, lately staying
at the Jagdschloss Hubertstock, near
the Angermunde, and was one day
shooting in that neighborhood. A
tramp deserted him from afar, and, not
knowing it was the emperor, accosted
him with the usual German request for
Understanding or financial propping up,
and also wished to be directed as to the
road to Angermunde. The kaiser COM
piled with both requests, conversed
with him at length as to his personal
and professional views of life, and dis
missed him with wish for pleasant
end to his days journey. The pleasant
end was in the police station, for one
Of the kaiser's servants, who seemed to
be of the Scotchman's opinion that it

the emperor had been insulted and tele-
graphed far and wide for the arrest of
the pilgrim, with accompaniment of
bonds, fetters, handouts, and so on.
The wanderer was run to earth at An
germunde, when he learned several
things that he did not know before
inter-alia, that he had been speaking
with the kaiser and was guilty of high
treason, anarehism and the like. Need
less to say, he was speedily released by
an impetuous telegram from the en-
peror, who ordered that he should be
fed, comforted and have free ticket to
Cuxhaven, "where he told me he wanted
to CO."

KANSAS CITY STOCK YARD NOTES


Big run of good native beef cattle.
The export demand for cattle has
been good this week.
Vickers & Lamb, Dunlap, Kas.,
marketed a load of Whiteface steers,
1885 pounds at $40,
Five days receipts at the four points
show a decrease of 5000 cattle and
11,OO0 hogs from year ago.
Forty two cars of export cattle were
taken for New York Thursday, OF
which Eastman and SchWarzSchild
each got twenty.
Knollin & Booth, the enterprising
sheepmen, are enjoying a good trade
They are enthusiastic over the pros
pect of increased facilities for handling
sheep.
The price of common to medium
horses was never known to be as low,
while the coach and driving horse Of
extra size and action commands an ex-
cellent price and always will.
The Stock Yards Company is select
ing a site for the new sheep pens and
work will be begun just as soon as the
weather will permit. The new pens
will be the finest in the country. The
present pens will be utilized for the
hog trade.
Henry Steinkirchner, of Newton,
Kas., was here Friday with good cattle
and hogs. His bunch of cattle aver
aged 1,642 pounds, and brought $4.45,
the top of the market. This is the
highest price paid out on this market
for some time. His hogs brought
$3.6219. Mr.. Steinkirchner is a very
extensive feeder.
The Spanish government has bought
1900 mules of w. S. Tough & Son
within the last few weeks. This firm
has paid $4,000 to Kansas horse and
mule raisers during the last month.
They think their trade has increased
1900 per cent. during the past year.
They sold 1884 head of horses and
mules during the first week in January
against $50 the same week in the pre-
Vious year.
