underbrush with a daintiness and
lack of naturalness and force which
might we'll call forth a rebuke from
''the boss"
The ex-president works like veter-
an handy man. Unlike Son Russell,
he rolls up his sleeves and goes fright
in." But then Son Russ is blase. He
has not the enthusiasm of a young
father.
In Washington the general impress
sion was that the president was ex-
tremely neat; withal a city man never
to be dragged out Of city clothes and
citified appearance. However, we all
know what transformations the arrival
of baby may make. When Mr.. Har-
rison clears away underbrush he wears
a delightfully."- grotesque little slouch
hat, neglige shirt, tive-cent suspen-
ders, a pair of old trousers and old
leather leggins which show wear, while
Son Russ's show only style. =,
There's no deer shooting now" said

on his hips, drawing the deep breath

front of my new place bit. There is
lot of work to do yet before we get
into good shape. It's rather hard to
make lawn where this underbrush is.
We cut 1t down and root it up pretty
thoroughly one year, and when we
come back the next it has grown up
again in the most audacious manner.
We're also ripping out some of the
stumps left from the cutting of the
trees when we first built our cottage.
Then this spot was nothing more than
a batch of forest-a good place for the
deer to come down to the water to
drink. We had great deal Of pleasure
in selecting the trees which we were
to leave for shade, both as to individual
beauty and to harmonious arrangement
of the whole. I '

that they hardly recognize their cattle
as the same bunch they loaded. OF
course as the season advances this con-

general is the complaint Of poor flesh

try 1t now looks as though receipts at
market would be unprecedentedly small
until the 10th or 18th of September.
Where in ordinary years killers would
take whole trainload of one brand,
this year they hardly want to buy
more than three or four cars, so fear
full are they of the way the stock is
going to kill out. Such cattle as have
been good enough to bring say $3.85
or better have sold fairly readily, but
those which will be noted as selling
under that figure have sold slowly, the
very excellent condition of southern
grass cattle this year largely account
ing for this. Killers can get these
latter at $3.40 to $3.65, and being
smaller boned than the westerns, they
kill out more satisfactorily, and thus

rangers costing the same figure. The
killers are acting toward range cattle
much the same as the lover of water
melon does toward that fruit when it
first appears on the market-wants to
see the inside of it before he pur-
chases. Since in the meantime the
condition Of range cattle units them
for eastern or export buyers and there
is thus practically no competition for
them on this market we advise ship
pers who are tributary to the South
Omaha or Denver market to go there
with their cattle. At those points both
fat and feeder stock is in demand. Oma-
ha is particularly we'll situated at pres
ent for handling these northwestern
rangers, as she is great distributing
point for feeders and is increasing her
beef slaughtering as we'll. Another
and important point in her favor is the
recently established joint rate covering
stock cattle over the N. P. and c., M.
& st. P. roads. We, of course, have
no desire to say anything against one
| market to benefit another, but we
think it only just to the shipper to ad-
wise him Of our opinion as regards the
most advantageous point for the dis
posal Of his stock cattle.

will suffice. Some authorities advise
that the sprouts should be frosted be-

son, ex-president of the United States,'
says IT,
The ex-president is, working on the
grounds of his new summer home with
all the zeal of a pioneer who has a
growing family to provide for. His
beard is white, but he is young in
heart. An air OF, geniality and of
cheeriness pervades the Harrison cot
tage such as would surprise politicians
who have memories of the tempera-
ture in the White House during his
administration. There is one man at
Old Forge who maintains-manifest
skepticism of the natives notwithstand-
ing-that he has been Honest Ben
Harrison" actually "crack a smile" in
the presence of the new baby.
The baby now weighs eighteen
pounds and is as round and as red as a
pippin. When Father Harrison re-
lieves the nurse in pushing the baby
carriage UP and down in front of the
cottage his face shows that he has
found an occupation more ieOngenial
than being president of the United
States. He trots the infant on his
knee, he wiggles his forefinger before
its eyes with some of the sawkwardness
of a young father with his frstborn,
but with deliberate care. :
