Mexico Missouri message. (Mexico, Audrain County, Mo.) 1899-1918, 1900-02-01

The class of western horses that are
now being put on the market is very
different from those close descendants
Of the cayuse and bro. 60 mares which
were scattered over the country few
years ago at low prices, says texas
Stock and Farm Journal. These half
breeds were as unreliable as ,heir wild
dams. and made life a burden to their
owners, whenever they did not kill
their owners outright. lne modern
western horse does not differ from the
farm-raised colt except in the training
which his life on the plains has given
him to be Oh the alert against danger
and 20 quickly avoid it. This habit
forces q driver to be careful, but aside
from it most Of these horses which
are from good, well-bred mares and
finely bred horses are as kind and safe
as the average horse and have as few
vicious tricks. The ranchmen who
shipped to the west good mares and
sires several years ago, are now reap
ing their reward in quick sales aud
good prices, and these horses have
been numerous enough to keep prices
from going out OF sight as soon as the
brisk demand began to spring dp.
Goat Mutton.-That goats are killed
and sold on the Chicago sheep market
for mutton is quite true, and the yearly
aggregate of such sales runs up into
tens Of thousands, but for the most
part these goats sold for mutton are
culls from the grade tlocks of the
northwest and southwest, many
of them not at all calculat-
ed to reflect credit either upon
their kind. or the mutton for which
they are sold. The Angora kid, young
doe, or young wether, are equal in
flavor and delicacy of flesh to the best
lamb or young mutton, and the day
L not distant when they will be mar
ke.cd killed sold and consumed under
their OWN name ard without the make

Men who render to the country most

In the steady march of progress, the
great dinner-pail brigade.
Strike that arm from existence. and
theworld would lie and rust.
Cities wondrous in their grandeur soon
would crumble into dust,
All our trade and manufacture would
be doomed to early death,
And that healthy giant, Commerce,
never draw another breath.
Earth would lose her active spirit and
be dreary as the tomb,
Heavens sun-rays soft descending
would but fall ON stagnant gloom,
And the glories of existence as the
stricken flowers would fade
If the fates should choose to rob us Of

life-blood of the land,
Every industry is fostered by the work.

Every palace that is housing an i'm

NEW STRAW HAT STYLES.
Slight Changes Observed From Last
NeaT's-A FEY, Novelties.

The straw hat has made its appcar.
ance in the shop windows. and some
advance agents Of the summer stvles
have been seen wearing the latest thing
III that line. There is not much differ
ence between last years hat ana the
one now on exhibition except that the
crown is slightly lower and the rim
less broad, says the New York Tribune.
The bound edge hat which some deal.
ers tried to introduce last year has
been dropped mot because it was not
sensible style. one manufacturer
said, but because ii looked too much
like mourning. You will probably find
them on the wagons from which huck-
sters will sell the latest style for 80
cents on the first real hot day, and
there YOU will see also the various freak
styles of the last few years reduced to
the size of the 1900 hat. whitened and
fixed up, good for the season'-if it
doesn't rain
The black band will be generally
worn, but fancy bands with college
colorS and the dark blue with white
polka dots will be in some demand.
Panama hats in alpine and sombrero
shapes have been brought from south
ern points in large quantities, and hat
ters hope to do a large business in that
line. These hats range in price from
$40 to $50. The latest thing in the line
is an alpine hat made of split bamboo
which is much lighter than the Pana-
ma hat and darker in color. These hats
were brought to the market by Knox
from Manila and are the Philippines
first contribution to our world of fash
ion.

CROSSES nnd Thieraa

Several years after the close of the
civil war a reception was held in
Lynchburg, Va. to commemorate some
national event. says V. Halsey in Lip
pincott's Magazine. Many men were
there assembled who had fought in the
war. Among them was major of a
Massachusetts regiment. who. meeting
General .Jubal Early of the Confeder-
ate army, cordially greeted him.
Pointing to his own decorations. the
major said. All general, you see we
have all the crosses now"
Yes replied the old general. "In
olden times they hung thieves on cross
es. Now they hang crosses on thieves"

MACHINERY WILL HUM.
Canning Factories Being Put in Rea-
diness for Handling the Abund-
ant Eruits.

Gamers are now busy getting their
establishments in shape. D. Refs, says
the Milford Advertiser, the biggest
packer in this part of the State, is in
creasing his capacity. Two new flow
wells have been put down; his steam
boilers have been added to by the put
ting in place last week of an eighty
horse power horizontal one; he has
built an addition to his skimming shed
and added twenty feet to his engine
department. Mr.. Refs expects to pack
a great many peaches this year, as
present prospects point to such yield
that Gamers may use that part of the
crop which it will not pay to ship. 1t
is even limited that some of this large
crop may be evaporated. There are
still few machines standing though
they have stood idle since the Cali
fornia peaches came in and superseded
fruit of this peninsula.
suspendeda:lb11J cmfwyp shrdlu cmfw
Fifteen years ago, and for some years
previous to that time, the evaporating
business was an important industry n
the peninsula, and especially in this
vicinity. Evaporating machines were
built here in Milford in large numbers
by William R. Phillips, George S. Grier,
William E. Hopkins and one or two
Others. Their plants now stand idle.
With a full crop of peaches for two or
three years might be expected a revival
of these businesses, or part of them.

A man in making his will often
leaves certain sum of money to he
held in trust for one or more rof his
children, the income to be paid to them
until they reach certain age when
the principal is to be handed overtok
them. He does this not because he
does not wish them to have it at his
decease and enjoy its benefits, but be-
cause he hesitates placing the respon-
sibility of the investment of his money
on their young shoulders and is anX-
lous to avoid the risk of their being
approached by unreliable persons who
might persuade them to invest their
money in all sorts of schemes, result
ing in loss of a part of, if not of all
the principal. Then he may leave
sum of of money to be held in trust for
his wife during her life time, or a por-
tion of his estate for the use of a
charitable institution during its ex-
1stence. Hence a few OF the many
reasons for the appointment of a
