The Yankee paused and stared about
He saw the Beers position stout:
The frowning hills. the narrow ford.
The slender chance for lance and sword:
The close converging lines OF fire.
The roads of black engulfing mire:
The current dark and deep and swift.
The burrowed trench, the sandy drift;
And as his eye took In the ground,
He drawled. lis there no way around?"
Here lies a moral meant for ALL
When progress halts before wall.
And cannot press TO onward way.
Must II. perforce, al; movement stay?
Because this chosen path Is blocked.
Are there no other gates unlocked?
Must all things linger dazed and still
Because we cannot climb hill?
Then let the Yankee words resound.
He said. is there no way aroundr'

were very busy. Seldom In a winter month is
the demand for staple groceries more active than

Hogs-Receipts, 1,500; shipments none.
With local packers practically the only
buyers in the hog market and other places
reported lower, the bidding from the start
was of course, under prices current at the
close of last week, and finally good clear
ance was made at the decline a 21zq5c.
The market was weakest for the lighter
weights, and pigs were considered more
than sc lower. There were no fancy heavy
hogs represented, and consequently no ex-
IRENE prices were reported. Quotations:

The receipts of sheep and lambs were very
small. and the true condition Of the mar

keeping with reports from other places,
however, there is a decidedly better ten
dency, and for the near future indications
favor the highest prices current thus far
this season. Quotations:
