MY son Bill, said the old farmer. was
just too smart fur anything. l had a BIG
red bull, who used to git loose once in
awhile and lick everything in the State,
and Bill was ready to bet his last cent on
that critter. One day when a circus pro-
cession was comm up the road Bill comes
runn!n from the barnyard and says:
" Dad, I'm goin to let that bull out

" Fur to see him hev fun with the ele-

black hair and mustache and wart
were all false. This was a revelation
even to his wife. The affair was pub
lished in the papers and in less than
two days it was found that Hadan
Saunders and Dawson were one and
the same man. He had padded his body
to increase his size and apparent
weight, and a false tooth, whiskers,
mustache and wart had done the rest

doubtless a natural mimic to begin

me suspect.
You will say that a good detective
ought to penetrate such shallow dis
guises as false whiskers. In answer
to that let me say that whiskers or
mutsache can be made to look so genu-
inc that no living man can detect the
cheat. The wart was a new dodge and
one 1 was not up to. 1t was so well

HOGS WERE FIRM
Sold Steady Here on a DecIin-
ing Market.
TOP PRICE WAS S427 10
Considerable Business Done
Yesterday in Cattle.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.27 IL

The run Of hogs yesterday was quite
large for Thursday following Christ
mas, but the supply was not near equal
to the demand. The most remarka-
BILE feature of the Wichita market is the
demand which exists for hogs There is
not day when there is a hog turned
back for want of purchaser. When a
shipper is ready to sell his hogs he finds
several buyers around him anxious to
bid on the stock.
The market here yesterday was STEADY
and firm. 1t opened up weak tld 212 to
SC lower. Reports from othel' western
markets were discouraging, but as the
day progressed the market here strength
ened in spite Of these reports and closed
firm at the top figures Of the day before.
The contrast between the Wichita mar
ket, which closed firm and steady at the
prices Of the previous day. and the other
western markets is very marked. Kan
sas. City reported hogs as weak to sc low
er. Chicago said that hogs were to 10c
lower, while st. Louis quoted them as a
fat sc lower.
The shippers are learning that Wichita
mas the best hog market In the west
The prices paid are always high and more
money can be made by shipping here.
Yesterday was good sample of "a Wich-
tia market 1t is firm when others are
weak and when an advance'is made the
local market is sure to register the great
est advance Of any.
The quality of the hogs offered yester-
day was good. There were some excep-
Eionally good hogs sold, and there were
but few poor ones. The run, as a whole,
was much better than the average
The bulk Of sales were 81. 25d4. 27I5. One
OF the features of the market was the
demand for light hogs, they bringing some
of the highest prices of the day. Good,
heavy packers also sold for very high
prices. while the other grades more than
held their own.

LIGHT TH OFFERINGS.
And Heavy the Demand in
the Provision Market.
WIDE GAINS RECORDED
Wheat Lower, Oats Better and
Corn Unchanged.

Chicago, Jan. ION heavy demand
and light offerings provisions showed a
strength and activity far outshining the
grain markets today, May pork closing
z21ha25c, May lard 1212d15c, and May ribs
15c higher Wheat was depressed by the
Liverpool weakness, but steadied on war
news and strength of provisions, May
closing q to 1zc under yesterday. Corn
closed unchanged and oats a shade bet
ter.
Under the first shock Of large hog re
ceipts and lower prices at the yards the
provision market weakened, showing
shade losses at the opening. This was
speedily regained. The demand was good
early and improved as the session pro-
crossed, but holders were coy and bids
were constantly raised. The pit was anil
mated the greater part Of the session.
May pork ranged from 5000 at the open
ing to SIG. 9212 and closed 2212Q25c higher
at $10.S7a10 go; May lard from S5.8712g6. %,
closing 1212G15c up, at S6.0212Q6.05, and
May ribs from S5.65 to s.. 80q5. S21a, with
the close 15c over yesterday, at $3.50.
Wheat was dull and heavy, lower cables
and the good Argentine crop news being
depressing factors. The decline was not
important, however. May opened 1sc
down at 6s9sG69s4c, sold down to 699s9
s915c; rallied on buying against puts and
on q little buying Influenced by the
strength OF provisions touching 6924 d697sc,
mad eased off, closing IS to Nc under yes
terday, at $3.50. Primary receipts were
4s2, S97 bushels, against s754.456 last year.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported $40 cars,
compared with 279 last week and AL a
year ago. Receipts here were 81 cars,
none Of which graded contract. New
York reported Is boat-loads taken for ex
port. Seaboard shipments in wheat and
-four were equal to 1920 bushels. While
the news was = considered bearish by
some many traders were inclined to tg-
more it, pinning their faith to a degree
to the possibility of German interference
in British-Boer affairs and to the
strength of provisions. During the last
hour of trading the fair volume of bus
iness was transacted and the tendency
seemed to be towards hrmness.
Corn early was inclined to be easy on
somewhat freer country offerings, but
the strength of provisions turned the
scale and the close was rather firm Ear
ly there was selling by elevator people,
and some realizing by -four traders. up
to noon the market was rfather easy, but
the crowd after that hour took more cog
nizance of the provisions advance and
bought corn. Receipts here were 315 cars
and at primary points $4,000 bushels,
against 1,251,0O0 last year. Atlantic port
decreases were $4,000 bushels.
There was a large business done in
oats today, over 25O,OOO bushels bought to
load and hold till the opening iof naviga-
ton. This kept the cash market strong
and steadied the future market, cash peo-
pie being food buyers. Receipts here were
IA cars. May ranged from 237s to 24Q
241lsc, closing firm and a shade higher over
yesterday, at 24c
Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat,
As cars; corn, $50; oats, 165 cars; hogs,
