consulting yesterdays reports the fol-
lowing figures We're obtained:

Medium to good. ......... 4.2o TO 4.so

BY this table it was demonstrated
that beef on the hoof cost from 81 to 81
more per 100 pounds eighteen months
ago than today.
The next test lay In the relative price
of sirloins. tende,lons and ordinary
cuts of steak for consumption in the
Chicago home The choice steaks re-
tailed here command a price varying
from to % to &c cents a pound. Two
years ago the price WIS about the
same. the only advantage the retailer
then took over the consumer lying IN
the judgment of the seller as to wha.
constituted good sirloin or a choice
tenderioin.
Prices Almost the Same.
Two years ago poorer beef was soli
for first class cuts by many butch
ers. Leaving out this prediction of
the butcher to pawn off an inferior
grade of beef on his customer, the price
of steaks In local markets is almost
Identical with the scale of 1902
Dsspite the immense fortunes being
gained thru this stubborn cNnging to
beef trust rates. no matter how much
cheaper live beef becomes. few butch
arw in Chicago or other lsrga cities will
admit ti,'are is any cause for grievance.
Tr other cities. where the power OF the
beef trust is greater than in Chicago,
the difference in prices OF retail beef
now and two wears back ds nil.

THE YOUNG COYOTES
TRAITS OF THESE INHABITANTS
OF THE WESTERN PLAINS.
History Of Nest Full of Cubs That
Enriched an Eastern geological
Collection Will Not
Make Friends.

Night was falling over one OF the
great western plains, when the grizzled
head of a prairie wolf was raised eau
tiously from the mouth of burrow
which ran far beneath the surface OF
the ground 1t was a long, narrow
head, not unlike that of fox. except
that it was much larger. aud that the
ears and eyes were smaller in proper
ton The face was full Of cunning but
that cunning would avail no more. for
at this very instant there was squirt
of fire and the sharp crack of a rifle
from a nearby clump of grass. and the
coyote was kicking and gasping on the
very threshold of its home. Behind the
puff of smoke. man jumped to his
feet. and, with a cry of I've got yer
this time, yer thief" ran forward and
the plain. Even in the dim light. 1t
was evident that this was a much
smaller and far less formidable animal
than the great gray timber wolf. but
the man who was lifting its limp, yell
lowish-gray body had found by long
experience that not even the timber
wolf nor the red fox himself had more
cunning than coyote. And something
else the man knew. and this was that
the wolf he had killed was the mother
of a number OF cubs which must even
now be in the burrow below rim. So
with the butt of his gun he broke in
the earth about the mouth OF Tire tun-
mel, packed it until 1t was almost as
solid as brick, and then. picking up
the body of his old enemy. strobe away
toward his camp.
In the morning he returned to the
den with two companions. armed with
picks and spades, and before long they
reached the end of the burrow. where
a bunch of soft brown fur marked the
position of six shiyering. hungry little
coyotes, each doing his best to get
a little farther away, One of the men
put out his hand towards the cubs. but
the ones on top of the bunch curled
their lips, opened their mouths and
showed such an array of teeth. as sharp
as needles, that for a moment he hesi-
tated Then. realizing that they were
but babies, he seized them one by one,

The men had no intention Of killing
the little capitves. They had received
orders to get just such a litter for a
geological park in the east, and as soon
as the infants showed that they knew
enough to eat small pieces Of raw meat,
off they were shipped
They grew rapidly in captivity, and
in the fall they were put into a large
cage with a number of other coyotes,
and there they may be seen to-day But
one of them. on the 18th of April last,
