4 Story of TaImaEe.

The late Dr.. Talmage was on one
occasion in the company of some the
illogical students, says the Philadelphia
Times. They, fresh from the study
Of church history, were laughing to-
gether over the old scholastic question:
How many angels are supported on
the point of a needle?"
They were surprised when DR.. Tai
mage turned to them and said:
well, how many do o Think"
AS no one answered he went on,
with decision:
We'll, I'll tell you-fve."
And he justified his answer with thu
following story.
One very stormy night he was COM
ing home late, and noticed a light In
the window of q room where he knew a
poor m lived whose husband va
at sea. He wondered what kept her
up so late and he ven to see. H.
found her hard at work sewing by her
lamp, while her five ros children were
sound asleep beside her.
There" said DR.. Talmage, was a
needle supporting five angels"

Jefferson City, Mo-, May THE ex-
2stence in St. louis OF uniform and fixed
meat prices and the secret rebate in ad-
'dition to the code list vas shown by
testimony taken at today's session OF
the beef trust inquiry. Maurice Prem
diyille. a ST. Louis meat dealer, testi-
fed that Armour, Swift, Nelson Morris
n CVdahy had a fixed agreement re-
garding prices.
The packers buy cattle on successive
days" said he. so that each can buy at
his own price. There is very little in
dependent buying in the East St. Louis
took yards. The big packers keep 9TH
xars out by telling the cattlemen that if
hey sell any cattle to the Independent
buyers, they must sell all to them.
"A better grade of cattle is sent east
tina that sold in st. Louis. The retail
butchers cannot get higher class beef.
The best beef is sold to butchers at IL
cents on the carcass"
Did yOd ever get a rebate?" was ask
ed OF Prendiville.
"Four or five months ago 1 got re-
bates on pork from Nelson Morris. At
n time h Cooler managers told me
that they mad an agreement not to sell
at less thar Sc per hundred. They
would "a the agreement by selling
some cents lower"
rs there an arbitrator in st. LOUISE"
asked Attorney General Crow.
The Cooler nag meet every
Wednesday afternoon and form a G. o.
ID. list and on Saturday they hold an
other meeting. / do not know who
fixes prices for them, but they are fix
ed the last of each week for the week
following
When a man does not sell his cattle
IN East ST. Louis" continued the wit
ness, and ships them elsewhere, the
packers send a dispatch ahead of him
i~nstructing the buyers to pay only so
much. The meat this year is more in
ferior to that sold last year. The num-
Der OF cattle sold and killed in East st.
Louis this season has been unusually
large. Most of the meat has been pack
ed in storage"
