FATTENING FOR THE BIG FAIR
Kansas City Live Stock Men Will Ex-
h:bit Huge steer at the st.
Louis Exposition.

Mammoth. the huge steer now at
the Kansas City stock yards. is to be
a prominent figure at the words fair
to be held in St. Louis in 1908, says
the Kansas City Times. OF course,
Mammoth would be a prominent fig
ure anywhere. He is seven feet one
inch in height, measures nine feet in
length and weighs about 5000 pounds.
And Mammoth is but a baby. being
only two years of age. The baby is a
fine, healthy product, however, and in
three years he is expected to weigh at
least 5000. That is, he will if the doc
tor takes good care of his health. and
Mammoth is to have a special physi-
cian-a veterinary, of course. Then
he will have several acres on which
to Craze all by himself, and that COM
bination should help him some.
L. a. Allen, a prominent live stock
commission man at the stock yards, is
responsible for the agitation concern
ing this elephantine brute Mr.. Allen
proposes to introduce a unique fea-
ture at the fair. His scheme is to
purchase Mammoth and to place him
on exhibition alongside of the small
est steer bred in the original Louisi-
ana tract. The two steers will thus
represent the growth and develop
ment of the Louisiana purchase since
the time of jefferson. The small
steer will be emblematic of the terri
tory as it was when Napoleon dis
posed of it in 1903. The large animal
will represent the wonderful strides
of the nineteenth century.
Both animals are fitting representa-
tives of the Louisiana territory. as
both were bred there. The smaller
of the two, who might kick at being
shown up as back number if he had
any say as to the east of the allegory,
is scarcely four feet high He is a
cousin of the famous Wing, that
weighed over 1000 pounds at eight
years of age. An organized movement
is already on foot for this display
three years from now. Mr.. Allen
stated to reporter for the Times
that syndicate would be formed to
buy the mammoth steer. The capital
stock of the company will be $4,000
each share valued at 800. A number
of stockmen have already signified
their willingness to take an interest
in the affair
All the plans have not yet been per-
fected, but after the ground where
the animal will Craze has bee% pur-
chased, a comfortable shed will be
built, and keeper and veterinary
surgeon engaged. Mammoths part
ner will be selected from among the
small steers that still exist in the
state of Louisiana. the same breed
that was there when Jefferson pur-
chased the territory. Mammoth him
self is said to have been developed
from the same type. L. Levy, a wan
derer from Palestine. is said to have
been the first to cultivate the big
branch from which Mammoth came.
The animal was raised by A. A..
Crandall, of Little River. Kan.

Tea was first imported into Russia
in 1888. To-day each inhabitant con-
sumes on the average nearly one
pound annually. The total consump-
ton is 1O6,OOO,OOO pounds and the to-

sugar together cost Russia about
$265 100000 per year. For brandy,
beer and wine the country expends
annually about $500, 100000, so that
something like a quarter of the whole

The heater is arranged to stand in the
fireplace, if one is provided in the room,

which makes it possible to bring the
stove near chandelier for reading pur-

small amount of attention required
will recommend it to many persons,
the attachment of the wire to lamp

being all that is required to start the

Dim against the distant skies,
Where the hues of Memory glow,
Rise the hills of Long Ago.
COmrade mine. while yet we may,
Let us thither for day;
Tread the paths untrodden long,
Hear the unforgotten song;
See the faces fond that seem
Gazing at us through a dream;
Clasp the hands we clasped of yore
kiss the lips OF Love once more!
Set against such joy as this
Paltry is our present bliss.
All. the wild, free, youthful will,
And the swift, ecstatic thrill!
COmrade mine, while yet we may,
Let us thither for a day
Back into the wonder-glow
To the hills of Long Ago!

The family were at breakfast when
Mr. Pennington's eye fell on this para
graph in the Daily Conservative:
ALBERT Whitney, clerk in the en-
ployment of Jobson & Co., importers
and wholesale dealers in hardware, is
the sole heir to the estate of his great
uncle, Morris Whitney, of Door county.
Wis, recently deceased. The estate, in
addition to lands, amounts to over $780,
900, mostly invested in standard stocks
and bonds.'
He read it aloud. "Albert Whitney,"
he said, "surely that is the excellent
young man whom we know. | must tel
ephone to DR.. Sheph Ard for confirma-
ton.
"Hello-good morning, doctor. AL
bert Whitney, of Jobson d Co., is the
same Mr.. Whitney who belongs to our
church, is he not ?-I thought so. Have
you read the paragraph about him in
the Conservative, this morning ?-I
thought you would be.-So am l."
Mr.. Pennington returned to the break
fast table. Il am sincerely rejoiced,' -
he said. 1T is providential that so
large fortune should come into the
hands of young man of such piety and
rectitude."
Gladys looked up, pleased and inter
ested. She thought again what nice
} dark eyes Mr.. Whitney had.
my DEAR" said her father to his
wife, Eve must invite him to dinner
again and introduce him to some of our
prominent people. AS we did not ig-
more him in his obscurity, we can bet
ter afford to congratulate him on his
prosperity"
At the select dinner party which fol-
lowed Albert was the guest of honor.
and escorted Mrs, Pennington to the
table. He bore himself with quiet dig
nifty, and Mr.. Pennington took pride in
the pearl which he had discovered.
The guests departed. the good man
announced to his family: "Mr. Whit

well as of integrity. 1t is rarely that
we find so many good qualities united
in the same young man."
Gladys smiled Il am glad papa likes

stood wide open.

I'M THE CITY CouRT.

| Michael Welch was before the city court yesterday morning for drunken ness and it was the first time in ten years that such a misfortune has hap pened. He did not appear to be on a protracted spree and Judge Dow sus- pended judgment As Welch went ou the door Assistant City Attorney Tyner admonished him to say away for ten years more.
 John Glennon was charged wits as- saulting Michael Bendizo. Ills case was continued until Thursday.
 Giovanni Cambo and Michael Soroco were charged with mutual assault and Cambo was also charged with drunk enness. Both cases were continued un- til Thursday.
 Charles r. Robinson, who was taken from the lookup in paralyzed condi- tion, is still at that institution and yes- terday morning when the charge of drunkenness was called against him it was put over until February 25.
 Lizzie Finley was sent to Jail again yesterday morning and she seemed to glory at the prospect of comfortable habitation for the next month. She was charged with being drunk, the old com plaint against her, and she was com mitted for thirty days.
 Michael King, who was charged with drunkenness, had a fine of $2 and costs imposed.

THE EGG CASE Is oFF.

In the celebrated superior court case of Dillon &s Douglass vs. Lee & Hoyt, the $40,0OO stale" matter, the case was continued at the request of plaintiffs counsel yesterday, the others agreeing. The matter was down for trial to-day. The agreement for continuance states that the case will go oyer to the Jam uary term of the court for 1902. One reason for the postponement is said to be the fact that MT. Douglass, of the prosecuting firm, has been ill for a long time with nervous prostration and can. not appear in court. It was also report. ed yesterday that there was some pros- pect of settlement.
 This is the matter in which the plain- tiffs claim that large quantity of eggs which they had in the defendants store house were injured by the rise of tenn perature in the building and became "bewhiskered.
 The action with these two cases leaves the jury docket clear, with Blacks ap- peal only confronting it.

FOURTH SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Sale of Seats Goes on This Morning. The sale of seats for the fourth con- cert by the New Haven Symphony or chestra on Thursday afternoon starts this morning at g o'clock The concert as usual takes place at the Hyperion at 4 o'clock. The fact that the popular violinist, Isador Troostwyk, of Yale. will be the soloist Is enough to bring out very large. audience. Besides, the programme for the concert is of very unusual interest.
 Mir Troostwyk will play the superb Bruch concerto a great work that has not been played in concert here in years. His attachments as a violinist are too well known to need comment here, He has won recognition through out New England as scholarly, mu- eicianly violinist and as the popular concert meieter of our Symphony or chestra, and his hundreds of admirers throughout the state only regret that his duties in the university school of music and elsewhere, prevent his ap- bearing more often here in concert. The programme is as follows: F. Mendelssohn- -Bartholy Overture, ''The Hebrides."
