A scarcity of good cattle. the butch
ers say. is causing the advance, While
the quality is much above the average
for this season of the year. Dealers say
that there are fewer distillery-fed cat
tie and what are called "grassers" in
the market now than there have been
in twenty years. Most Of the western
meat is Of the very best corn fed"
owing to the hitherto low price of that
grain.

Charles Lever says that so long as
humanity exists men will do three
things-make war, make love, and
gamble-and they can't be legfslated
out of it. Certainly, although we be
all advocates Of peace, we dearly love
a warrior and we exalt his horn. We
love him for the things he has done,
we respect him for his bravery, we
look with veneration upon his wooden
leg and we listen with pleasure to
mis- repeated tales or suffering and

Not long ago an enterprising show
man ran "Cyclorama" in Fort Worth,
Texas. This "Cyclorama" showed with
remarkable fidelity the battle of Chick
amauga. A trinity built Federal vet
eran, with an empty sleeve pinned
across his breast and a wand in his
remaining hand, pointed out the noted
generals and main incident Of the
combat. There was an ex-Confederate
reunion at Dallas, thirty miles away,
and one afternoon a former Johnny
went to Fort Worth and took in the
show. He was loaded to the guards
with corn whisky and forced to go
very slowly around the bends, but his
heart was at peace with all the world.
He listened to the talk for While
and then approached the man with
the wand. "Podner" he said, was

we respect him for his bravery, we
look with veneration upon his wooden
leg and we listen with pleasure to
mis- repeated tales or suffering and
daring.
There are many of these tales, and
some of them are very beautiful. A
man who had been Il private in an
Illinois cavalry regiment told me once
of an incident of the battle of Jones'
boro. He and his comrades had been
dismounted in the edge of thick woods,
and dismounted cavalry are the hard
est of troops to route. In front OF
them was an open cornfield. a quarter
of a mile wide, with woods upon its
further side. Reinforced by half
dozen companies of infantry, possibly
1900 FederaIs lay perdu. In hlunder,
company Of Confederates, not more
than ninety men all told, were or
dered to attack. With yell the hand
full swept out of the opposite woods
and charged across the field. At
distance Of one hundred yards single
volley disposed of them. Those who
were left on their feet wheeled and
scampered back to their position. One,
however, remained. He was the cap
tain in command, and had been far
in advance of his men. When he
found himself deserted he stopped and
folded his arms. Sixty yards away,
alone in the wide field, the summer
sun pouring down upon the silver
gray of his uniform, he stared stanch-
" into the eyes of 1900 foemen. He
was only a beardless boy, and the
newness Of his clothing showed that
he was only few days from home.
All down the long line of Federals
ran a cry: Don't shoot him! Don't
shoot him!" He gave the military sa-
lutte and marched steadily back to his
men. Not q gun was fired.

 aone of the principal factors ol good government is obedience. ft lis generally supposed that to yield one's will to another must eyer be .repugnant; but this is 3 very naf- row way of looking at She matter. A more careful examination will show that our highest pleasures spring out of obedience. U is q law of the universe that one object shall control another object, one person another person. And in obeging we should respect authority even though we donot always admire tbe one who yields it Much of the strength and efficiency of any gov ernment in procuring and securing happiness to the people depends oa opinion the general opinion Of the goodness of the government as well as of the wisdom and integrity Of the governors. Our government should be carefully studied and those who have the right of suffrage should exercise it. No man in any profession er U lie B ex. empt from this responsibility of citizenship. The good citizens in any community are responsible for bad rulers and the non.execution of laws The development Of our country depends upon its high minded, pablic-spirited citizens. We have the best government and the greatest possibilities of any nation in world For the first time in the record of history, the greatest race occupies the greatest home.
