While there has been considerable activity
IN produce, prices generally have continued
steady. Butter was shade higher at the
close of the week than at the beginning, with
a good demand for the better grades of cream

The demand for eggs is good and prices
are strong. The calls from retailers are con-

Poultry prices are becoming strong as the

THE CATTLE MARKEr Ar KANSAS cIry

The CATTLE MARKET AT KANSAS CITY.
The growth Of the cattle market at Kan
sas City Is very apparent when one studies
the figures for the past few years. The re-
ceipts for the month of October were 231, 800,
which is 1880 more than year ago and
is the largest months receipts ever arriving
at the Kansas City stock yards. The pre-
vious big month was September, 1896 when
the figures were 229945. The prices, to,
have been better than the average Of the past
twelve years. The top price for native steers
in October was $3.50; in 1894 the top price
Tor the month was Sc; in 1898, $3.50, and in
1881, S. In all other years of the twelve the

Honest but Cute Yankee.

There IS a funny case of international honesty down ill Arizona, just on the line between that territory and Mexico A Yankee farmer lives there, one Anna Ea Barrow by name, and it is his bust. ness to raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mexico and bring them across the bound ary or to buy the feed and bring ii aoross, would involve the payment of a considerable duty, which would eat the profits about as fast as the hens could eat the corn. As for smuggling, that was not to be thought of.
 Amasa is a Yankee, and he is so hon. sst that his neighbors say he wouldn't take advantage of man in a horse trade. But be IS also full of Yankee in- genuity. and after deep cogitation he built q long, slim hencoop. one-half of 1t in Arizona and the other in Mexico. On the line there is gate. Over the line there are barns containing feed. At feeding time the gate is opened, and the chicken fancier shoos his flock into Mexico, where they eat their meal Then he shoos them back to the proteo ton of the American flag, where they digest this Mexican grain, lay thei, eggs and carry on their family affairs Mir Barrow saves about 30 per cent on bis grain and makes about that much en his chickens, and if there is any smuggling done it is done by the inno- tent and irresponsible biddies. s.-Wnsh. tDgtou Times.

Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator, when it sinks suddenly, gives many persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling. Into we'll filled elevator in big shop ping store the other day stepped from one of the floors two women.
 "Do you know, said one of them to the other, "that If you hold your breath going down in an elevator you don t have that unpleasant feeling; you don't t feel it at all y
 Of course nobody in the elevator lis sened Intentionally, but nobody could help hearing what she said. Conversa- tion instantly ceased, and every body drew 8 long breath. The elevator shot downward in silence.
 "Ground foorr' said the elevator man as he threw back the door. and the women streamed out from the car upon the floor, talking now gayly, and there was one at least who said that the plan was effective. New York Sun.

SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.
And This Cape Colder Captain Got First
 Prize In a Special Glass.

When l was down on Cape Cod, heard an amusing story abont an old sea captain and his COW. Captain Pat terson. after sailing tho sea for more than 40 years, finally retired to a little farm near Barnstaple, where he settled down, with a horse, COW and two or three dozen hens. His COW, though a lank and rather stubborn creature. was said to come from very good stock, and when the Barnstaple people took it into their heads to have fair Captain Pat terson determined to exhibit his COW.
 But when the day came for driving her to the grounds the COW showed that she had mind of her own and would not hudge a step heyond the farmyard gate. In vain the old captain tugged at the rope, pummeied her sides and push ed her Hanks. The COW wanted to go to pasture and was bound she wouldn't go to the fair.
 Captain Pattarson's patience was very nearly gone, when suddenly an idea occurred to him. Though he was not strong enough himself to force the COW to go to the fair bis training sug. gested something that was Tying the COW to the gatepest, he went mp into the loft of his barn and threw down an old sail stepped to a dery mast Then ne put horse's blanket belt through an iron ring, strapped the belt around the cows inserted the end of the mast in ths ring and bound the mast to tho side of the cow with some 50 feet of rope.
 The wind blew tquartering, and when the captain untied the COW and raised the sail the canvas swelled out over the cows back, and away she wenl "sldling" down the road, mooing and plunging and trying to step herself in vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail, and using 1t as 8 rudder guided bes skillfully in tho right direction. With every fresh puff of wind the obstinate cow would be hurried along faster while the dust blew mp in clouds ana the sail Tapped and tugged as Captaia Patterson helG < the mainsheet With one hand and the COW s tail with tho other.
 1t was hard voyage for both of shem, but not long one, and when they came in sight of the fair ground everybody ran out to sec the remarkable sight of COW being sailed through the streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter filled the air, and when the captain finally whirled his COW around at the gate ef the fair ground and brought her neatly up into the wind" the shout that arose might have been heard two miles away.
 Unfortunately Captain Patterson F COW did not take one of the prizes for blooded stock, but the captain himself was given a special prize by the fair commissioners for the best advice for getting balky cattle to market. Out look.

How the Great Author and His People

 "For an evening with Dickens, " ad- vises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of Evenings For Literary Clubs" in The Ladies Home Journal, lone of the items of the programme might be sketch of his life condensed into about 200 words. The Dickens drawings by Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from The Journal and hung up before the au- dienee and the story of each character and incident illustrated told. The trial from Pickwick' could be arranged for individual reading or for a number to take part in it. A bright paper may be written on The People of Dickens World. In Dickens works there are 1,550 separate characters, enough to peo- pie whole village.
 "Some of Dickens poems have been set to music-notably The Ivy Green and would make a pleasant feature. Anecdotes of Dickens might be given by ten or dozen members, each giving one. These might be interspersed through the programme. A member with any eleverness in photography might make a series of Dickens lantern slides from pictures i'll standard editions of the novelist's s works and give magic lantern entertainment. The death of Paul Dombey would make a pathetic reading from 'Dombey and Sora Mrs. Jarleys waxworks, as described in The Old Curiosity Shop. could be given with some of the members grouped as characters in the famous show and des- ignated. as Little Nell did, with 8 pointer "

NEW YORK'S GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
 First Fairly Started.


 Ernest Ingersoll writes a paper on tho Great New York, entitled Reasoning Out 9 Ao.-o opolis, " for St. Nicholas. Mr Ingersoll says:
 Tho people of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and certain nearby north ern towns resolved to join themselves together into ono city, which is now the Greater New York. It embraces 34l square miles of territory and includes 6 population of nearly 3, 400, coo.
 Besides these at least another million dwell on the New Jersey side Of the Hudson river, quite as near and as closely identified with the great city on Manhattan Island as are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes a population of nearly 4, 800, 900 which may be said to belong to New York, making it net only by far the largest center of human life and inter- ests in America, but excepting only London, the most populous spot op the globe
 How has it happened that this vast city has grown up where it stands! Why did not the American metropolis arise somewhere else? Is it's position all an accident, or does history show sound reasons for its situation? The earliest settlement here was merely a trading station that gradually became a small seaport like dozen others along the coast Before the year TOO these were so nearly alike that he would have been @ wise prophet who truly foreto1d which would thrive. Indeed many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great American seaports.
 Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business and later for pleasure. You cannot force 8 city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit- able situation, and it is no easier to prs- vent city from growing i'll its proper place. But the conditions that change a village into big town and expand the town into city or metropolis are not the same in different parts of the globe and vary with the march of the cen turies; so that now many an ancient world market, like Nineveh or Mem phis, has totally disappeared, while towns like Berlin have lately increased with amazing rapidity, after long his- tory as small and Insignificant places AS for New York, it has never halted or gone backward for a moment since it was fairly started on its career in 1923.

AN EVERYDAY HEROINE.
The Country Maiden. the Wicked staxe Company and the Tailor Made Girl.

S"o Soohtty haiaens bhe Wicked Stnxs
 Company and the Tailor Made Girl.
 Four reckless persons had clambered into tho stage, an old man, middle aged woman, young man and tailor made girl At Fiftieth street dress makers little girl struggled in with 6 huge box. Town life was evidently new to her. Her rosy cheeks announced country air to the least observing. She held her money in her hand
 Looking dubiously about, she finally epied the money box and dropped in the coin. After this she waited expeetantly. Nothing occurred however, and she began flushing and paling with nervous indecision. At last she resolutely stood up, attracted the drivers attention and called to him:
 How do I get my change? put quarter in the box, she asked.
 s' Yese oughter a-handed 1t up ]" said the man. "Yese cam git it now. J
 But it's all l have" protested the girl.
 "Git it off the new passengers. yell cd the driver and turned away.
 1t was all the money she had, but how could she get it off the new pas sengers?' Every one in the stage had become interested, but no one volun- teered any advice. Two tears rolled down the rosy cheeks.
 The stage stopped, and an old lady scrambled ill. As she took out her mon- ey, a 5 cent piece, the tailor made girl leaned over to her
 Will you give me that for this little girl?' she asked. "She dropped in q quarter by mistake, and the driver said the new passengers might mako it Gp to her. !"
 The old lady beamingly handed over the nickel She felt that the stage com pany was being rigidiy but justly dealt with at last.
 Then man got in, This was harder for the tailor made girl, but she made the request again and handed 9 second fare to the grateful young person from the country The whole stagefal was now interested watching for new pas senger as 0 spider watches for fy. 4 woman waved desperately from down a side street for the stage to wait for her. but the driver passed on unheeding and eXclamations of disgust arose. Another corner, and another smartly dressed girl got in. The new arrival did not seem at first to understand the request, and, flushing the tailor made girl repeated it and secured one more of the precious 5 cent pieces.
 The little girl had reached her desti- nation.
 ''I am so much obliged, , she murmur- ed to tho heroic maiden who had been taking up fares in her behalf. ''I ought to get out here, so guess I'll let the other go.
 No, no, you must not, said the fair conductor, opening her purse. Take this and can get it from tho next one who gets in. '
 You are awfully good, !" murmured the unsuspieious little one with new tears i'll her eyes, and one of tho men took the big box and handed t down to her when she had stepped out.
 The stage rattled on and the tailor made girl looked unconcernedly out of the window The next passenger was allowed to drop his fare unmolested into the box, unconscious of tho little comedy that had brought the others to- gether i'll common interest for a mo- ment and the stage company was still ahead of the game.
