GREAT STOCK SHOW.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBIT HELD
IN CHICAGO.
This Years Exposition Has Eeiipsed
Amy He1d-Annual Event Which Has
Become of Wide Interest Through
ont the West.


Great interest was manifest all over
the West in the show of the National
Pure-Bred Live Stoel. Association given
at the stock yards IN Chicago. There
were representatives from every part of
the West and the exhibition of pure-bred
live stock was the greatest ever seen in
this country. This years show was a
great step in advance of even last year
In the seven days of 1901 in which the
exhibit was open several hundred thou
sand Chicagoans went to see it, and the
railroad estimates showed that over 49,
600 people from out of the city Wis
tied it. This year there has been an
enormous increase in the attendance, and
the management estimates that there
have been nearly 100000 visitors from
other cities and States.
There has been great interest in bet
ter bred stock in the West of recent
years. Stock raisers have not been con-
tent to rear scrub cattle, as they have
found the better bred stuff brings more
money and IS no more trouble TO raise
than the poorer grades The settling up
Of the West has had much to do with
the change, as the ranges have been cut
down and the vast areas where cattle
roamed in thousands have been changed
into farms and the western range cattle

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Great Care Taken that Its Informa
tion Shall Not Leak Ont.

ech DAAaAA ANOk Leak OuIs
One government matter which is treat
ed with the utmost possible secrecy from
the time II leaves the hands of the Pres
ldent until it is ready for Congress and
the public az large is the preparation of
the Presidents message The preserva-
rion OF absolute secrecy regarding the
contents of the message is most essential,
inasmuch as advance information as to
TIE recommendations to be made would
III many instances be of the greatest
value to spectators ON the stock market
and certain business interests. Despite
the number of men who aid in the hand
ling of the document at the big print
shop, however, there has been no Yiola-
ton of confidence in recent years. Dur
ing the Hayes administration a message
was stolen from the printing office and
sold at price popularity supposed to be
many thousands of dollars, but the theft
has never been repeated
As. means of preserving inviolate the
contents of the message while it is in the
printing establishment the plan is adopt
ed OF placing with a single official the en-
tire responsibility for the message from
the time it is delivered at the printing
office until it energies in pamphlet form
ready for delivery at the White House.
The average presidential message ranges
in length from 1900 to 10000 words,
and when this is parceled out to the type
settlers it is cut up into pieces so small
that no compositor can gain any definite
knowledge of the subject under discus
sion, and the work is so distributed
among hundreds Of typesetters The as
sembling of all the various tiny masses
OF type is entrusted to one man of known
reliability, and likewise only old and
trusted employees are permitted to have
hand in the printing and binding of the
pamphlets. As an extra safeguard, the
workmen engaged upon the printing of
the message are compelled each evening
to account for every sheet of paper which
has been issued for use on the presses.
The printed copies of the message are
taken, upon completion, direct to the
White Hose Offices and the only copies
which are permitted to leave the hand of
the office force prior to the day of the
opening of Congress are those which are
given in confidence to the representatives
of the newspapers and press associations
with the understanding that no extracts
from them shall be printed until the mes
sage has been read to Congress.

In His "Weakes, Part ;,

Bishop David Sessums, of New Or

rience of Southern clergyman.
The clergyman, Mr. Bobbett, had
returned to little town where he had
beena minister many years before. re
his amazement he found. as sexton OF
his old church, the same antebellum

his incumbency.

already manifest, as large numbers of
farmers who formerly were content to
raise scrub stock are now raising the best
grades, and all because of the efforts put
forth by officers of the association.
The show was doubly interesting this
year because of the handsome new Rec
ord building just completed. This is a
commodious exposition structure, suita-
bic to the needs of an annual live stock
show, q building that has been badly
needed for some time. There is ample
room in it and it has been built with an
eye to affording the best possible exhibit
ton facilities. The building is modern
In every particular and is ornamental as
well and cost 100000. The structure
was dedicated Governors day of the ex-
position, which took place Wednesday.
That day was one of great interest, as
Secretary Wilson presided at the dedica-
tory exercises and the Governors of many
States were present Secretary Wilson
made an address and several farmers also
made short talks. Chicago was crowded
with men interested in live stock Much
interest in the show was exhibited in
Omaha, Kansas City. Sioux City and 9TH
er Western packing centers.
Internationally the international exposi-
ton has taken n foremost part in Amer
lean institutions. Not only are the de-
velopments and tremendous advancement
of the live stock industries of the United
States and other civilized countries re-
vealed in animate and practical demon
stration, but the great advantages TO
farmer, breeder, grower, exporter snd
consumer of superior breed and quality
are undeniably presented. The bene-
fetal effects of the exposition are felt

can but get it at reasonable price.
No more free land remains to the

Settlement of the coal strike has not
brought to New York City a complete
solution of the serious problem raised by
the shortage of fuel Although each day
$4,000 tons of anthracite now enter New
York, no dealer can keep supply in his
yards and customers cannot be supplied
as yet in amounts of more than a ton at
time. The normal consumption of coal
in the city is 10000 tons daily and, with
the amount reaching there 1000 tons less,
the demand cannot be supplied
Upon the absence of heavy snowfalls
this winter depends whether or not the
city will be visited by the greatest coal
famine in its history. Should the rail
roads be blocked by a heavy snowfall for
even brief time, the city's supply would
be quickly consumed and then would en-
sue terrible famine. Coal now sells at
500 ton. but if the supply were cut
off for even day the prices would 60
skyward with a bound and in forty-eight
hours no coal could be had The ensu-
ing conditions cannot be imagined.
The public schools of Brooklyn are
face to face with the seriousness of the
coal famine. On Monday two had TO
be closed because no fuel to heat them
could be obtained and two others were
kept open only by the personal efforts of
their principals. who interceded with
dealers. Within a few days, it is said

TRIsuTE TO The MORNING NAP.
Protest Against the Ancient Notion
nf -. Isn.1.

Protest Against the Ancient Notion
of Rising Early.
The time of rising in the morning
has not, in fact, kept step with the
progress of other events. The old Gus
tom Of early rising and breakfasting
by candle light during the season of
short days still prevails, although the
need has largely passed away. Forty
years ago farm work began with the
break of the day, and laboring people
were expected to be in shops and fac
tories at 5 O'Clock "a the morning the
year round The agitation for a short
err day first reduced the hours to ten
and later 10 nine and eight. But it is
doubtful if the hours given to sleep
have Increased as much as the hours
of work have ceased. And in partic-
ular the time of rising is still where it
was when ten and twelve hours Of
labor were demanded.
This is wrong. There is nothing
more conducive to aealth, good morals
anu good temper than nap in the
morning. 1t rounds out the nights
sleep and imparts a satisfaction which
is a considerable factor in the days
work. There is nothing like sleep to
tone up the nerves. It is better than

Discovery of a Wooden Boat in IRE

A discovery OF great archaeological
Importance was recently made by a
aborer engaged in cutting turf from a
bog near Knock Midtown. County Gal

Get he came upon boat hewn out OF a
single piece of oak and estimated to be
1t least 1000 years old. Notwithstand-
ing it's age, it is singu1arly well pre-
served. In shape it very greatly re-
sembles the present day canoe, only

about three feet wide, and two and one
lalf feet deep The boat looks as
hough two, or AT most three, men
might lift it, but when weighed shortly
after its excavation it drew the beam
down to something over two tons.
Sir Thomas Esmonde, Bart, has pur-
chased this valuable find for presenta-
ion TO the Royal British academy, where

the most valuable of their pieces Of an

Archaeologists claim that this boat
belongs TO the time of the cave
dwellers. Experts recognize five classes

out of a tree trunk: next came canoes

then plank boats stiffened with ribs.
and finally vessels in which the frame
work was first setyup and the timbers
added afterwards. The boat found in
ireland represents the second period.
Sir Thomas says: Some wooden
piles were also found near the boat.
which may have formed part of the
platform or landing place alongside of
which it was stored. In the distant
ages, to which we may date this boat,
the Midtown bog must have been a
swamp inhabited by lake-dwellers. The
country round about must have been
comparatively thlckly populated, judg-
ing from the number of Duns still to be
seen on all sides, and judging also from
the number o. objects of stone and
bronze which have been found in the
locality from time to time.
"A very beautiful bronze spearhead of
unusual form and finish was found near
the place sometime since. 1t is now in
the collection of Dr. Thomas Costello
of Tuam. A bronze dish was also dis
