Hogs-Receipts. $500; shipments, 2.750.
Thus far this week the receipts Of hogs are
over 1900 smaller than the same time last
week. and the receipts to-day were only
about one-third as large as the record
breaker week ago. Notwithstanding a
good part OF ~ hog market was higher, it
was not entirely satisfactory TO statesmen.
because the advance was not as much as
expected The market opened with local
packers very Indifferent, but there was
rather active Competition between shippers
for the good-weight hogs of uniform quail
fty, and sales OF that class from the start
were on a higher basis than yesterday.
When II came 10 selling mixed and light
weights the trading very slow. and for
the most part final sales did not represent
any materially Improvement in values over
yesterday. The general market however.
was stronger and desirable weights were
generally considered Zoe higher. with eX-
IRENE sales loc above yesterday. Sales
ranged froT9So-e0 10 $40. and very large
proportion the supply sold above $3.50.

There were no changes to note either in

strong for prime stock, but common stuff
ruled dull and slow. Quotations:

Sheep - Receipts. 2O0 shipments small.
Barely half as many sheep and lambs have
been received thus far this week as the
corresponding time last week, and a very
moderate supply arrived for the market
to-day. In harmony with lower Eastern
markets the demand from shippers was
less urgent, and on account of the lessened
competition buyers succeeded in reducing
values in some instances, but generally
there was not a great deal of change so
far as the better class of offerings was
concerned. Sales included lambs as high
as $3.50. and fancy yearling sheep sold as
high as $375 Quotations.:

II do mean the Christmas load-just!!",
declared Ned, emphatically, and tenderly
he caught up the frail little mite. and.
planted her, crutches and all, on the top
of a fence post.
Her eyes danced and she trembled with
delight. 1t was the greatest load of joy,

quite passed by.

dazzling article lightly strapped to the
rear.
"Oh. Ncdw breathed little Eunicc, in a
rapture.

his face, that's the prize to the most

sled-for you, Eunice!"
Little Eunice knew no better than to
cry at this. because she saw that Ned
felt bad, and he went a little dismaily
down the road. A load of hay had up
set in the ditch a few days before. The
boys had famous fun playing in it. Ned
engaged himself kicking free its mantle
of snow, expecting some of his friends
along pretty soon. Suddenly

Then, still holding to him, up mid the
wintry mass arose-a
AT first Ned thought he must be "a
phantom" He was Il tramp in dress,
but he had a long white beard and snowy
white hair, and made Ned think of pat
riarchs."
He had been sleeping in the hay, and
Ned had stepped on him. He complain
ed a little, yawned, and asked Ned if
he could "get a poor fellow something to
eat"
Ned took him to Eunice's. She gave
him a meal, and while he was eating
whispered to Ned:
Isn't he the very picture Of Santa

"Say!" circulated Ned, with a start;
that makes me think Of something
great! Keep him here till l come back"
The man had told Ned he wanted work.
Ned had thought Of Mr.. Ames. He was
the school trustee. and the great friend
of the boys who had gotten up the pres
emit big holiday festival.
This happened: he hired the august
looking tramp for three days. He was to
sleep in his barn, and Christmas eve
was to 'play Santa Claus" in the dis
