UNION STOCIlYARDS, INDIANAPO-
LIS, Dec. 9.-Cattle.-Receipts light; ship
ments none. There We're no fresh arrivals
of cattle, and therefore there is no change
to note in the market compared with yes
terday. The receipts this week show to-
tai of over 1000 or twice as many as last
week and 600 more than the same week a
year ago. The receipts so far this year are
only a little over 800 smaller than the same
period last year. Tho week opened at
about steady prices for all kinds compared
with the close of last week, but later, in
sympathy with other places and on ac-
count of the limited competition, there was
a decline of 10q20c in prices of all fat
steers, and female butcher cattle showed
an easier tendency. The receipts the lat
ter part of the week were good, but there
was rather a scarcity of good export and
shipping cattle, and with quite an i'm
provement in the demand from local killers
and good inquiry from other sources
there was a rally of fully 10c per hundred
pounds in prices compared with the low
time in the week. Good cow stuff also sold
at strong prices, and the best heifers were
steady, but there was a downward ten
dency in all common TO medium female
butcher cattle. The market for the week
closed steady at quotations and the pens
were we'll cleared. Quotations:

better advantage than the few were.

The Smart Versus the SIOvenIy Girl.

Never let the slovenly girl for one
comforting instant imagine that the
smart girl is so by mere accident
that girl is born smart as she is born
pretty or clever.
Smart dressing is achieved by con-
slant watchfulness, by the cheerful
sacrifice of leisure hours, by the cul-
tivating of that affliction is supposed
to, but does not always, develop.
The smart girl not only knows how
to buy and wear her clothes, but she
has permitted the tentacles of intellect
to fasten upon few burning truths in
anatomy, and she understands how to
stand correctly, so that her shirt
waists sets we'll and her skirts hang in
graceful Olds.-FrOm "The EUeryday

ONE MAN TO OTHER MEN.

Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, is one of the healthy young men
of affairs now before the country.
He is healthy both morally and physi-
cally. He combines a vast fund of en-
ergy with scrupulous regard for hon
esty of purpose and desire to accom-
pllsh only that which is for good. He
stands foremost to-day as sturdy
specimen of the upright and energetic
What Governor Roosevelt has done
to make politics better and what he is
doing to-day to make politicians more
clrcumspect is known to those who
have watched his most interesting
career and advancement. He entered
the political arena from broad sense
OF duty and probably for the excite
ment that would come to him and
which is so necessary for a man of his
temperament. In whatever branch of
public work he has played a part he
has demonstrated his honesty of pur-
pose and his unquestioned sincerity.
There is nothing of cant or hypocrisy
or time-serving in his mental make-up.
He is always frank and fearless and
that is to be taken as the basis of his
success.

LINCOLN BEFORE THE CAMERA.
how the Martyred President Sat For His
Picture.

The death of Joseph Medill. late edi
tor OF the Chicago Tribune, recalls
the story of a picture of Lincoln, the
one by which he became known to the
country, taken very soon after his
nomination for the Presidency. A cor
respondent of the New York San gives
the incident in Mr.. Medill's words:
Il knew him so we'll that we called
each other Abe and Joe. He came to
see me IN the Tribune Office soon after
his nomination. 1 said to him, after
we had talked of more important mat
ters:
Abe, there are not many people in
the country who know how you look.
You must have your picture taken.
Why not do it now? I'll go with you
snapshots were unknown then, and
so were newspaper artists, as they are
called. Lincoln went to his hotel to fix
up, and 1 called for him at the ap-
pointed time. 1 think he saw that [
was surprised.
How do 1 look?' he asked. His
coat was buttoned from top to bottom,
but 1t was his hair which made him
look strange. He had evidently wet
1t, and 1T was brushed to the skin and
across his temples as smoothly as if it
had been ironed.
1T will never do, 1 said, as soon as
L could recover my breath. Abe, you
never could be elected President if the
people thought you wore your hair
that way"
''He looked at me as if he were
dazed. He had plastered his hair
down in that way honestly and in
nocently. He looked into the mirror,
and then that peculiar expression of
humor dawned in his face. He took
both hands and showed them through
his hair until it looked like brush heap
after hurricane. Then he turned
towark me, and l told him that was
more like him.
We proceeded to the photographers s,
where Lincoln run his long fingers
through his hair again. From the pic
ture then taken all copies for campaign
purposes were made, and whatever
caricatures and cartoons were made of
him during the campaign were sug-
gested by that picture

which showed the percentage of the
population of each State of the Union

tie State of Delaware, with 2S per cent.
of her population enrolled in Sunday

The Mary CurzOn COiffure.
success.

Lady Curzon, the wife of the viceroy
OF India, who is the daughter of Mr..
Levi q. Letter of Chicago, and who is
a very beautiful and a very ''grand
lady,, has set new fashion of wear
ing the hair. 1t is called the 'NIarv
Curzon style" and is quite suggestive
OF her in every way. AS Mary Letter,
long before she ever had an exalted
position, she was Enthusiastically beauti-
full, but simple in her tastes to a de-
gree! The way she dressed her hair
always has been admired. She parts
her hair in the middle, brushes it
down quite smooth on top of the head
near the part, and then it falls in
graceful waves, covering the top of the
ear, and is done up low at the neck
behind, in a loose coil. All the best
hairdressers in town are advocating
the Mary Curzon style of arranging
the hair, and it would not be at all
surprising to see all the frizze, bangs.
and crimps done away with entirely
before very long. OF course, Lady
CurzOn does not wear her hair flat
over her face like an old woman. You
may be sure, that here and there, soft
curls over the forehead relieve the
harsh effect, which is so unbecoming
except to classical face. From ".lfiss
