In the season 1t was thought that ship

the rush of feeder buyers. which took
tile largest percentage of the stock
from the range this season. estimated
by some buyers ut IS per cent of those

cattle was especially noticeable. As
high as S31 per head was paid for
ycarlings. and the owners took the Do
sition that they could moi afford to hold
them at that price. Tho receipts for
sales of cattle are approximately
$l.0O0.Oo0 from this point alone.
The sheep shipments have been
lighter than for years. as the herds
We're sold down pretty closely last

of the road with him. A section gang
was at work near by, and a switch ran
up into the gravel pit, half mile dis

almost tropical sun threatened. to warp
the rails out of position. Naturally Mr..
ingalls, did not choose. to walk half q
mile under such circumstances, so he
called to the section boss and ordered
him to bring his handcar and crew. and
carry the party up to the pit.
''Not on your l!fe," was the surpris-
ing reply. "Sure, have me orders from
the superintendent to do the work be-
yond and not leave till it's finished"
Mr.. ingalls, smiled, colored, and was
about to reply, when one Of the party
tried to help him out by saying:

claimed, with vexation: "Well, if you
can find anything in this house, you are
welcome to it; it's more than I can do"
The burglar snapped down the side Of
the lantern. Goodnight" he said, and

The sermon Is given In part:
We all bow to the hero. He who is
afraid of nothing in the performance
Of his duty-no consequences personal
to himself,-has the battle hslf won
before he strikes the blow. Even the
mob respects courage. The boy,

to history her splendid names.
Perhaps one of the grandest ex-

No grander monument of the Mexico
people exists todsy than the grand
truncated pyramid on the plains OF
Cholula. The perpendicular height OF
this wonderful structure is 1T feet,
with base 1923 feet long, twice as Ions
as the pyramid of Cneops, and base
area of nearly forty-four acres. The
legend of the natives is that it was
erected by a family OF giants, who had
escaped the great inundation, and de
signed to raise the building to the
clouds: but the gods, offended by their
presumption, sent fires from heaven
and compelled them to abandon the
work. This agrees very much with
the Hebraic account of the tower of
Babel, and for auRht we know ante
dates it few centuries. The many
evidences of the extreme antiquity OF
the Mexican people are too numerous
to mention.
