THE GUYEi; OS UEEF.
He Is = Man OF Consequence About
the Stocl1yards.

the Stoclzyards.
The buyer occupies position Of con-
sequence in the stockyards community.
lie is all expert, usually man OF mid
die age, who has obtained his educa-
ton and technical ability partly in the
packing houses and partly on the ranch.
An experienced buyer Is likely to re-
ceive a salary Of $4,000 to $1,000 a
year, and he is worth all Of that, for on
his ability to tell by moments in
spection what quality Of beef will be
produced by steer that he never be-
fore laid eyes OH depends primarily the
excellence Of the product issued by his
house and hence the increase Of its
business.
The buyers work is not arduous, and
to ali appearance his task is simple
one. He walks along the fiat board
laid along the top of the fence, glanc-
ing keenly at the cattle in the different
pens. Some he passes by without
pause, others he stops to inspect more
closely, and occasionally he displays
his interest in q group by asking a
question or two of the man in charge.
Long experience enables him at
glance to distinguish between grass
fed steer and a corn fed steer, to de-
eide whether an animal is entitled to
be classed as fancy" good" or "com-
mon" and to guess within few pounds
Of an animals exact weight By glanc-
ing at him. The buyer makes his pur-
chases ION the hoof," paying the mar
ket price ruling for the day for the
grade in which it is decided each group
Of cattle belongs. In few words the
transaction is completed, and the buy
er's interest in the affair is ended

NeSro's Kicking Hair.

4 boy big enough to have reached
the subject Of races Of men-not horses
in his geography class was asked to
describe the negro. His answer, THE
negro has kicking hair and producing
lips" showed that he had at least
heard the teacher when she spoke Of
the "kinky" hair and projecting lips
characterizing his dark skinned broth
er. His answer really was not so fun
ny as the remark made by woman
who in speaking Of her sister said feel
ingly, "Oh. she's all misconstrued, so
we had to take her to the hospital for
a performance."-N York Herald.

you know what it recalls"
NO" she declared.
What! Not remember this particular
dateT he asked in horror and reproach.
"Oh, surely you must"
She said again that she didn't, though
to oblige him she would if she could,
and he bowed his head and looked sor-
rowfully out of the window at the
swaying trees loaded with red leaves.
Don't say itr' he exclaimed. Don't
tell me you have no recollection of the
serious import of this day. Think! See
how | am impressed by the recollec-
ton. Surely you recall it,
A dawning light spread over her face.

Long and short Hair.

Homer wrote of the long haired
Greeks by way of honorable distinc.
ton. Subsequently the Athenian cav
airy and all LacedGmOnlan soldiery
wore long hair. The Parthians and an
cient Persians wore long, flowing hair
The Franks and ancient Teutons con-
sidered long hair mark Of high birth.
The GOthS looked on long hair as a
mark of honor and on short hair as q
mark of thraldOm. SO did the Gauls.
for which reason julius Caesar, when
he subdued them, obliged them to cut
their hair short in token of submission.
In England judges, the speaker of
the house Of commons and at one time
the bishops wore long hair, while Grim
inalS and pauperS wore short hair On
the other hand, Jewish priests during
their time of service had their hair cut
once a fortnight. and Roman slaves
wore their hair and beard long. but
shaved their heads when manumitted.
Sailors who escaped from shipwreck
shaved their heads as if manumitted
from the sea. In Ezekiel V, 1, there is
mention of a "barberS razor" with in.
structiOns to thou. son of man, take
thee BARRIERS razor and cause 1t to

was accompanied by a letter of trans

amount OF German Bessemer iron has
been sold for this country, and among
recent sales in England was one OF 1000
tons of a west coast Bessemer for de.
livery to the United States. Cutting of
home production, due TO coke shortage,
has compelled Importation, as the Amer
lean demand is active, bnt has resulted
in improved movement of coke to the
furnaces. 1t is said that independent
sheet, wire and tube mills will be com
PEELED to seek foreign steel, in view of the
announced inability OF Steel corporation
plants to furnish steel in the next six
months, except to customers having
long time contracts.
