A Slight Decline is Shown But
the Quotation is Higher Than
Usual at This Season Of the
Year
TWO EXPLANATIONS
FOR THE CONDITION
Scarcity Of Rain Spoiled Fodder
and Cattle Were Rushed Into
Market Too Early and Packing
Concerns in a Combine to Keep
the Price Up


The prices of beef and pork have gone
down slightly in the last few days, though
they are still higher than is usual at this
time of the year. There are two explana-
lions as to the rise in the price. The first
is that the scarcity of rain in the west
last summer spoiled the fodder and the
farmers rushed their cattle and hogs into
the market too early. The second is that
the big packing concerns, Armour & Co.,
Nelson. Morris & Co., Swift and Cudahy,
have formed a combine and are holding
prices up.
Pork loins have gone down several
points lately, but pigs are as high as ever.
Poultry is cheap. The best chickens sell
for % cents pound and turkeys for II
cents.
Grapes predominant In the fruit market.
The season is now about at its height.
The crop this year was not over abund-
ant. and the New York producers are
shipping great quantities westward. Con-
sequently the prices here are the highest
for several years. 1t Is not expected that
they will go much lower.

cheerful fire, that shed it's CHEEKY warmth
over the simple but comfortably furnished
room. Without the snow fell noiselessly,
covering the frozen earth with winding
sheet of downy whteness.
Edith Vane sat gazing at the wintry
scene, while upon her pretty face was look
akin to sadness; in her mellow, expressive
eyes glistened tear. Her thoughts, on the
swift wings of love, had flown far across the
sea to India, whittier, four years ago, a
fond lover had gone in search of fame and
fortune. -Four years ago he had looked
into her tender eyes and whispered the old,
old story, and she had promised to be true
to him. He would return, he said, with
trembling voice, and claim her as his wife,
and she had wept tears of sadness and tears
of joy-sad tears that he must leave her, and
joyous tears that he would return to her
some sweet day. The years rolled by, dur
ing which her greatest joy was the occasion
al letter, full of passionate love, that came
to her from across the sea. Each one stated:
"Wait patiently, darling, l am coming
soon;" but he came not
In an arm chair near the cheerful fire sat
Edith's mother, busily engaged with her
knitting needles. Turning to her daughter
she saw the far-away, sad look in her eyes,
and, with a loving mothers instinct, she
knew the cause, and her heart bled for the
unhappy child.
Cheer up, Edith, dear; you know this is
Valentines day, and remember we are to
have the young folks here this afternoon"
she said in tone of cheerfulness, hoping to
dispel the melancholy mood of her daughter.
Eyes, mother, this is Valentines day
just four years ago to-day Arthur sailed for
India"
''Be patient, dear-he will return. and
soon, L Ween; did he not say so in his last
letter?'
Eyes, mother; but it has been nearly six
months since l have heard from him-and.
besides, all his letters contained that same
indefinite promise" replied Edith, with
sigh.
THAT is why hope to see him soon.
Edith, dear-now cheer up; Arthur Chal-
mers loves you, and if he still lives rest as
sured he will return and then you will be
the happier for having waited"
Il will, mother, for your confding hope
has instilled in my heart its spirit; shall
tsy and be more cheerful"
So saying she arose and began to prepare
for the Valentine party her mother had
urged he- to give. Her mothers words had
indeed dispelled the darkness and lighted
up her heart with hope that rendered her
almost happy. She left the room and soon
returned with paper and scissors, and be-

The poet now invokes the Nine

Or two, imploring the divine
One to most graciously incline
To hear his prayer or plant or whine,
That he for her no more may pine,
But feel her arms his neck entwine.
OF course he begs her to 'be mine
And stick to him through rain and shine,
And in some cottage, where woodbine
And roses cluster and the kline
Come lowing up to lick the brine
Neglected by the greedy swine,
On bread and cheese and kisses dine,
And-every blessed rhyme, in fine.
