Mistake of the CcUntry-Sre5 Hcy.

Young men from the country stand
better chance OF success in city
than do the young women, but they
exchange life OF health and freedom
among the fields for hard and exact
ing employment in the city. Once
inoculated with the virus OF metropol.
itan experience. they are driven on By
habit and necessity until finally, as
the years accumulate, the majority
sink to the level of mediocrity, and
finally into dull apathy. 1t is then
that the country-bred boy wishes with
all his heart that he had returned long
ago to the farm of his youth and Ia
ken up again the yoke which then
seemed so heavy. but which he now
knows was light.-kansas City Jour

The National Live Stock Associa-
ton is making plans to push the pass
age OF a bill now pending in Congress
looking to the taking of live stock
and agricultural census next year and
every five years thereafter. 1t Is be-
lieved that with united effort this bill
may be passed during the short ses-
sion. The importance to the live stock
interests OF a complete census Of live
stock every few years, cannot be over
estimated. Indeed, it is actually neces-
sary. The country might to-day be
face to face with a famine and no ono
be the wiser. A scarcity OF stock In
any branch would mean high prices
for meat and general disturbance Of
the industry. What majority Of the
people want is a steady market based
upon an accurate knowledge OF the
conditions. Reliable statistics regard
ing tho available supply would be in
valuable to bring about this condition.

To carry as l go;
Bade me keep it clear and bright.

Bear II steadfast. without fear.
Shed its radiance far and near
Make the path before me clear
With its friendly glow.
God gave me a little song
To sing upon my way;
Rough may be the road and long
Dark may be the day:
Yet a little bird can wing
Yet a little flower can spring,
Yet little child can sing,
Make the world gay.
God gave me little heart
To love whate'er he made;
Gave me strength to bear my part
Glad and unafraid.
Through thy world so fair. so bright.

Thou my song and thou my light,

By c. w. Lee Il Co.
New York, April 4.--The market was
very firm today. In fact, 1t was surpris-
ingly firm in view of the small business.
When there was any buying prices ran up
easily. The feature proved to be the buy
ing for European account New orleans
ran up to 16 cents for July and this was %
points over us. Some of the very pest
and most conservative on the floor were
buyers early on the small receipts. There
Is no doubt about the movement being
sensationally small. One does not see
how Europe is to get the cotton necessa-
ry out of this crop. Is long as receipts
are so small and point to no more than
10. 250,0 900 bale crop 1t Is hard TO see now
the market can go down very much we
want every one to be very cautious about
trading in the market at these figures,
but we cannot see anything but famine
ahead this season. People who circulated
bear circulars at 91a cents last fall and
talked of the advantage Of averaging on
a scale up are still talking bearish. Their
single virtue is consistency. If Liverpool
moves up prices here will advance.

the decrease in American was $1,000
