The cattle market yesterday was barely
steady. There was good supply and
the demand was likewise very strong.
and it was day of active trading and
tuoyant feeling in this division The
supply of stockers was the best. and
these were mostly al taken by regular
buyers and some transient spectators.
There was one fine bunch of COWS ana
heifers also sold for butchering. The
bold Packing company GOT these and
some other small lots Some Of the
stockers We're light. burt all of very coed
grade and readily acceptable TO the buy

A Kings Superstition.

Apropos of the Kings trip to London
from the north the other day, says a
london correspondent of the Brooklyn
Eagle, l have Il from one of the Off
Gals that superstition is not unknown
In the royal circle. The travellers got
out of the train at Stirling to have
their dinner and when they were all
seated it was discovered that there
thirteen people at the table.
81 am very sorry, my dear fellow"
said the King addressing one of his
equerries, but / fear you will have to
go to another table. | shall never be
able to eat my dinner in peace and
comfort so long as we are thirteen. or
unless we have another member of the
party to make the fourteenth
Just then the station master. a
heavy. bulky, stodgy gentleman, stood
in the door. hat in hand. A smile light
ed up the face of the sovereign as he
cried:
Il have it, / shall ask the station
master to make the number fourteen"
And he did, much to the astonish-
ment of the frightened official; who was
forthwith ordered to sit down and dine
at the royal table. You may take it
as certainty that there is a humble
Scotch family which will forever cher
ish the memory of the day when che of
its members became distinguished by
being asked to dine with King Edward.
That is an incident in the history of a
family which can never fade from
memory

1T is always amusing to me-" said
the thoughtful man, according to the
Detroit Free Press, when l read of a
reward being offered for the return of

that if the money falls into the hands
Of an honest man he would be only
to glad TO see that the loser got it,
but if on the contrary. it should fall
into the hands of dishonest man,
why, money spent on the advertising

amount lost
"A number of years age an old man
living in the same town that | did,
and who had the reputation of being
very close, lost roll of bills amount
ing to several hundred dollars. 1t was
a mystery to everyone how he let go
of it long enough to lose it, but he
did, and spent several days rushing
around town looking for it, but without
success.
Finally some one suggested the ad-
visibility of offering a reward for the
return of the lost money. He object
ed to this as costing him too much,
but at last he opened his heart and
offered the sum of one dollar to the
finder. A few days later he received
by mail a one dollar note, together
with a letter, to the effect that he
could have the reward and the finder
would keep the rest for his trouble"

Hanna's story of IngersolI.

Senator Mark Hanna, when il came
his turn for a story not long ago in
the Waldorf-Astoria. told the follow
ing. according to the New York Times
when Robert G.. Ingersoll came to
Washington from the West, his head
filled with legal lore and infidelity. or
it would be better to call it agnostic-
ism. he encountered in one of the cor
ridors of the Capitol an old negro wom-
an vigorously scrubbing the floor, when
she heard any one coming, and, when
the footsteps died away, busily reading
her Bible.
He slipped UP on her very quietly
one morning, and, taking her by sur
prise with her precious book, said:
Mary, do you believe all you read
there?'
Z" I sutanly do she replied; 'ebery

g DO you believe that God made

- In cease does.
Say. it happened to rain hard
about that time and the dust was gone
and there was nothing but mud?'

Here is little love story from sus-

of the Chicago Inter Ocean says it's
true:
Miss Emma Swanzer lived near
Springville, and with her steady COM
pany, Chas. Bangs, went 10 Brooks
dale one night last week to attend the
wedding of mutual friends. During the
evening Miss Emma became Jealous
of Bangs attentions to another girl
and refused TO speak TO him. When
they started home they both felt re-
lieved when the Rev. Mr. Hunter, the
village preacher. joined them.
In field adjoining the road was
Texas steer, a recent acquisition TO the
place and no lover of the human race
The party had TO go through the field
in which the steer was and he pur-
sued them. Bangs gave cry of alarm
and ran for some trees a few feet
ahead, closely followed by Miss Swan
ger and the preacher. Bangs Skinned
up one and Miss Swanzer proved her
