Hogs-Receipts, 5000; shipments. $50. The mar
keting of hogs this week has been comparatively
liberal indicating an increase Of over 5000
compared with last week. nearly 1000 compared
with the same week year ago. and almost 1000
compared with the corresponding week two years
ago. The receipts were the largest since the
middle of August. Thus far this year there
is decrease of over 155 900 in the receipts COM
pared with the same period last year. For the
week ending yesterday the leading local packers
bought total of 1875. against 10.o3l the pre-
ceding week and II. 0S7 the same week a year
ago. During the period the shipments
5.11s. against 4.s7o the preceding week and
3.79s the corresponding week a year ago. There
was good improvement in prices the early
part of the week but later, with continued liberal
receipts and less competition: the market de-

are about as high as can be expected for the

We have in our shi ps decks of steel

great labor to keep clean and smooth,

where the surface is exposed to the

cement, with a slightly rough reddish
surface, is laid over the steel and
elsewhere all over the ships the men
walk on linoleum, which gives good
tread, is silent, and is kept clean
easily. In fact. wherever a non-com-
bustible material can be utilized in
these new battleships. it is employed,

other striking feature of these armor-

from the number of guns and quantity

MY BABY TONIGHT.

As sit by his cot. holding fast the soft
hand,
And the bright eyes are closed till the
lawn,
am thinking how sweetly from sweet
"Babyland"
Ny darling is fastening on.
But whatever the future whether gloomy
or bright,
He is all mine just now; he's my baby to-
night.
Some day he will go out into the world,
And mix in its toll and its strife,
And mother viii be, though still loved
and dear,
But one of the parts of his life.
But now, all the day, I'm his joy and his
light;
Yes, sovereign am I! He's my baby to-
night.
And some time, ali! some time another will
come,
OF all the most fair and most dear,
And as she fills up his heart and his home,
Poor mother will seem far less near.
i wish him that day, of all days the most
bright;
But that sweetheart's not here-he's my
baby tonight!
And then the grave man, battling bravely
the wrong,
And staunch for his home and his land,
1 pray that his soul may be kept pure and
strong
As l sit by his cot, holding fast the wee
hand.
But that brave noble man is not this tiny
wight.
m his guardian now-he's my baby to-
night!
And then. when the years bring their griefs
and their woes
And he comes to my knee once again,
And, forgetting his years and his trials and
foes,
Sobs away in sweet tears all his pain.
May l say as l look in his dear eyes soft
light:
God has kept him from sin! He's my baby
tonight"

HOW TO PACK A TRUNK.
Some Little Hints That May Prove
Helpful When You Take Your
Next Journey.

Packing a trunk is one of those
things that each and every woman is
confident she knows how to do better
than any one else, but the truth is
there are good packers and very bad
packers, though no one will own that
she packs badly, says the Washington
Star.
In packing, many people make the
mistake of putting the garments that
are easiest mussed on top, but an ex-
pert packer puts them on the bottom
of the trunk, where they are held firm
ly, for tight packing is the secret of
good packing. Many persons when
packing seem to lose sight altogether
of when and under what circum-
stances they are to do the unpacking,
and yet this is an important consider
alton, when comfort is taken into
account
The things that will be first needed
should. of course, go into the trunk
last, such as the garments to sleep in
and the toilet articles, as the destina-
ton is usually reached pretty late in
the day.
Few persons are silly enough to
carry shoe polish or a bottle of ink in
trunk, and thus risk their whole out
fit for trifling convenience that NAV
be had even at a village shop in the
far-away country no less than at any
seaside or mountain resort to which
