Sir he said to her father, this is a
practical world. The spirit Of commercial
ism cannot be throttled by the tender
bonds Of sentiment. Perhaps you have
noticed this?"
Il can't say l have" replied the stern
parent. but that needn't detain you
"Of course not" said the youth with an
afable smile. What l was about to say
is that while I am sitting up counting
your daughter l feel that It would be no
more than fair to offer to pay for the gas
l assist in consuming"
Good" said the old man. And how
about the coal? DO you expect me tC
throw that in?"
Certainly not" cried the youth. "Tl
gladly throw in the coal. Bless you,
worked my way through college tending q

And the old man smiled approvingly.-

SHEEP-There were no sheep or lambs
offered on the market today, everything
that came in being sold to arrive, so that
a test of the market was not made. For
the week receipts show an increase over
the previous week and also over the same
week of last year. The demand though,
has beer fully equal TO the occasion and an
active, steady market has been experienced
all the week. The only exception was on
Friday, when buyers realized that they
had forced prices at this point higher than
at any other, and as a result they took on
a little, but as compared with the close
of last week the market on all desirable
grades Of both sheep and lambs is fully
steady. The common kinds, OF course,
nave been neglected 10 some extent when
buyers could get enough OF the better
grades to hll their orders, but still even
the habitat kinds are as nigh as they
were last week.
The receipts of feeders have been ex-
tremely light all the week and as there
has been quite a demand prices are fully
steady.

CATTLE-There were not enough cattle
here today to make a market, but for the
week receipts are about the same as for the
same week of last year there is quite an
increase. The market was in good shape
all the week until Friday, when buyers
took off about all they put on the earlier
part OF the week.
A good proportion of the receipts all the
week consisted of corn fed steers, and the
market ruled active and stronger until
Friday. The top price of the week was
$40, but a finished load would probably
rave sold considerably above that figure.
The bulk of the cattle received sold from
$500 to $3.50. On Friday the market eased
off a little, so that as compared with the
close of last week the market may be
quoted just about steady.
The COW market also ruled active and
wednesday and Thursday was right close
to 25c higher than the close of last week,
but with Fridays decline the market for
the week could not be quoted over a dime
higher. The commoner class of cows sold
largely from $3.50 to 81 "a, with the medium
grades going from $2.75 to $3.50, and choice
occasional sale above that figure.
Bulls were rather slow sale all the week,
lower, the big decline of last week appar-
emily being satisfactory to buyers. Veal
calves commanded strong prices, and choice
grades are now selling from $6.25 to Sc. so.
There was a good demand all the week
for desirable grades of stockers and feed
ers, and prices moved steadily upward. The
UP BAaNS VI AAAC "tNh ""S NNHNb Jul liz
were good. AS compared with the close of
last week 1t is safe to quote the market
10a15c higher on good stuff. The
grades are also a little stronger. The bulk
of the cattle now coming forward sell from
$3.50 to So. sc.
HOGS-There was about an average Sat
urday's run of hogs here today and the
market opened active and 541Oc higher
than yesterday. The bulk of the good
weight hogs sold from $6.6 to $3.50 and
the prime loads sold from $3.50 to So. 70.
The lighter loads sold from $500 down.
Trading was very brisk on the start and It
was not long before the bulk of the offer
ings was disposed of. Toward the close,
however, the market was not as good, as
packers seemed to nave their more urgent
orders filled, so that the late arrivals were
slow sale and did not bring much better
prices than were paid yesterday. Sellers
were holding for the morning prices, so
that the day was well advanced before
everything was disposed of.
For the week receipts of hogs have been
a little more liberal than they were last
week, but as compared with the same week
of last year there is still a big decrease.
Prices nave been fuctuating back and
forth from day to day., but still the general
tendency of prices has been upward. The
net gain for the week amounts to l5N2Uc
and the week closed at the highest point
reached since October 25. Representative

leading Republican paper of the
state: ''In the Cripple Greek case
the doubtful wisdom Of this action is
rendered more evident by the posi-
tive declaration of the Teller county
sheriff and county commissioners
that the troops were not needed. In
the face Of such positive declarations
from the local authorities, the public
at least has not been furnished with
information showing the need Of
troops, and while the governor is en-
titled to all confidence In his superior
sources Of information and In his
good faith in the matter he is likely
to be severely critized for hasty ac-
