Romance has played prominent part
with regard to the longevity of deer, says
writer in Chambers Journal What
says the highland odago'
Thrice the age OF dog IL that of q horse.
Thrice the age OF a horse ia that Of a man.
Thrice the age Of q man Ia that of q deer.
Thrice the 0ge of u deer Is that OF au eagle.
Thrice the age OF an eaglo is that of an oal,
tree.
This is to assign tho deer period OF
more than 200 years, and the estimate Is
supported by many highly oironmstantial
stories Thus Captain Macdonald Of Tul-
loch, who died In 1870, aged Sc years, is
said to have known the white hind Of Loeb
Treig for DO years, his father for n like pc
riod before him and his grandfather for 90
years before him. So in 1926 Macdonald
of Glengarry is reported to have killed u
stag which bore mark on the left ear
identical with that made on all the calves
ho could catch by Even MncIan- Og, who
had boon dead 100 years. Analogous sto-
RIGS, it may be noted, are told In countries
on tho continent Of Europe where deer
are to be found in any number. But,
alas, tho general opinion among experts
would seem TO DO that 80 years or there
about is tho limit OF deer's life

Mrs, Kate l.. Kirkham, widow OF the
late General II. w. Kirltham and
mother of Lady Yarde-Ruller, Mrs.

ford, is dead She passed away at the
Occidental hotel in San Francisco
Sunday evening, after an Illness that
lasted for practically ten years. She
was a sufferer for all that time from
a disease of the spinal cord and brain.
Her death at this time has an import
unit bearing on the affairs of the valu-
able Kirsham estate. In the past
there has been an unfreudly spirit,
and only few months ago Lady
Yarde- Butler, whose demands have
met with the opposition of the other
heirs, returned from England with the
intention of instituting proceedings to
obtain Il portion of the estate. The
influence of the mother, who Is now
dead, averted trouble, and it is possi-
bic that as the estate is to be di-
vided there will be no further fric-
ton.

WHAT is OUR NATIONAL slN1



Through the perspective of history each
nation is but "a larFer man. 1t has Its
birth, its childhood, its manhood and old
aRe its characteristic virtues, and, alas
its predominnting vices and favorite sin.
On tho old nations, whose records we can
view without prejudice or favor, and give
Judgment with judicial fairness We have
no more difficulty In rendering verdict
than on prisoner IN tho dock.
And just so In the future the United
States must appear at the bar. some Glib.
bon or Carlyle, with spcctacles on his nose,

now doing in the flesh, the chronicles OF
the day will present brief and the evi.
dcncc for the prosecution, and Irving and
Bancroft ind others who have loved US
not so wisely, perhaps as well, will appear
for the defense.
The finding of that court we cannot
forecast as yet, but at least we should de.
eide what Is our chief sin, that we may
shun IL and reform II possible And that
sin, marking our whole people with %
brand us plain ns that of Cain, is waste.
The south wastes annually enough to pay
the Interest on our national debit the
waste of the milton could puy the princi.
pal In two years-waste of food, waste Of
clothes, waste Of energy and brain force.
Now, In this category wo count nothing
as waste that gives fai. return Of pleasure
or health or rest. Money spent for these
pays large dividends, and yet this is what
most Of us coll waste
Nautilus teaches that the time must
come when the earth cannot support its

existence.

DEAL SOON AT END.
WHEAT MANIPULATORS MUST
SHOW THEIR HANDS.
friday Is the Day Upon Which Deliveries
Are to BE Made-Making the Seller
Dictator OF Price-Removal of Central
Market From Liverpool to Chicago.
The Wheat Deals.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Friday, which
will witness the close of the great
trade, bids fair to prove a memorable
day in the trade. No great excitement
is expected in the wheat pit, but in
oats a squeeze of shorts may occur.
The wheat deal of my son has
brought to the farmers of the United
States 10 or Is cents more for their
wheat than if he had not gone into it"
l.. q. Letter said today, in talking of
the great battle between Joseph Letter
on the one side and the elevator com
panies on the other. my son has been
the benefactor of the agricultural in
dustries of the country to that eX-
tent The seller is now debating the
prices of his product, not the pur
chaser. Chicago makes the market
price of wheat, not Liverpool. And
the local influences which have been so
long for constantly lower prices have
ceased to control Chicago markets.
The first purchase of wheat by Jo-
seph Letter was made in July last at
GA cents. The price for real wheat,
such as the farmer sells, has been 90
cents and 81 for several days. This
makes a total advance since July of
about 35 cents. Letter, ST., gives the
ordinary course of the markets credit
for between 20 and 25 cents Of the
rise The remainder he attributes to
the substantial support given to prices
by Letter, jr., during the last six
months.
1t is believed that Mr.. Letter has
been turing a trick on the trade in
oats while everybody has been watch
ing wheat. For weeks the oats pit has
been practically deserted. Last week
there was a disagreeable surprise to
the men who had sold 100000 bush
els of oats for December delivery
when they learned that no oats were
tcing delivered. Then thew awoi,e to
the fact that in all the Chicago ele-
vators oats measured but $4,000 bush
els of the contract grades. 1t was
Wednesday when the discovery was
made. The price of December oats was
then 203s cents. On Friday the mar
ket closed at 225s cents. A cent ad-
vance in oats is as good as or 5
cents in wheat. 1t is too late to rush
in a supply to meet the calls which
will be made for the grain at the close
of business on Friday. Those who
have not delivered the grain accord
ing to contract will be called upon to
settle at the closing prices. The sit
uation has all the elements of a
squeeze.
The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1897-12-31

WASHINGTON, Dec 27.-Secretary
Sherman was seen tonight regarding
a story cabled him from Madrid to the
effect that the United States had de-
manded of Spain sS,000,G00 indemnity
for American traders for damages sus-
tanned through the rebellion in Cuba.
The secretary stated that if any such
demand had been made he had not
heard Of it.
. Judge Day, assistant secretary Of
state, said: so far as l know there
is absolutely nothing in the story.
Some one may have attempted to foot
up all the individual claims that have
been filed, but even on that SUPPOSE
ton I should not attempt to say their
estimate was correct"
At the Spanish legation it was said
that no information had been re-
ceived of any such action. The lega-
ton had heretofore heea notified of
all individual claims, but it was
thought improbable that any claim in
bulk would be made.
