FRIENDS OF THE DOG.

Four boys, averaging about 10 years
Of age, trudged into the Office of City
Treasurer and Tax Collector Taylor,
leading with them a timid canine-a
black and white water spaniel One
of the boys, who acted as spokesman,
raised himself on tip toe, looked over
the counter and said:
Please, mister, is this where You
get dog licenses?"
Yes. my lad" was the reply.
We'll, you see, it's this way-we
want a license tag for this dog. He
amt got no home, and we've adopted
him. We've named him Jack"
Upon inquiry, it was learned that
The dog had been wandering around
in the neighborhood of Eleventh and
Center reefs for the past two weeks,
and that the poundman had made
several unsuccessful attempts to catch
the nameless canine but the boys
with whom the animal had made
friends could handle him at will.
Finally they took pity upon Jack be
cause of the scares the poundman
gave him. and raised $3.50 among the
boys of the n8ighborhood with which
to buy license tag for the canine.

The two ideas are fundamentally
different. If the distinction is well
understood, the way in which the
modern "sky-scraper" is built will be
better appreciated. 1t looks as though
it were of masonry construction, but it
is actually a frame building. Steel is
used in place of wood in the con-
struction of the frame, and brick,
stone and mortar take the place of
clapboards In massive construction
the walls carry the floors and roof,
and make the building strong in every
way. but in the steel-frame building
the walls do not do this; indeed, they
do not carry their own weight except
for the height of one story. In a
typical building the wall is supported
on the steel frame at every floor. In
appearance it seems to be continuous,
like other walls, but really it is near
", if not qnite, cut in two horizontally
at the height of every floor. This is a
feature of the construction which al
ways seems strange TO people who are
not familiar with it. When the first
buildings of this type were erected in
Chicago, throngs of spectators cor
tinually watched the progress of the
work. and no feature of it interested
them more than the construction OF
the masonry walls, started on one of
the upper floors. as &c often done, APP

How sky.scraoers are Ruilt.

Sky-scrapers are the product of a
new era in architecture. They have
all been constructed during the pas,
fifteen years. and mostly during the
past Ten years.
To the inexperienced eyes these new
buildings lcok like the older ones. and
even men familiar with their con
struction cannot always distinguish
betwsea them when they are only
eight or n.ne stories high. 1t is not
primarily in appearance. then, that
they differ. and this is true in spite of

o now, my true and dearest bride,
Since thou hast left my lonely side,
My life has lest its hope and zest,
The sun rolls on from east to west,
But brings no more that evening rest,
Thy loving kindness made so sweet,
And time is slow that once was feet,
As day by day was waning.
How can live my lonesome days?
How can tread my Lonesome ways?
How can take my lonesome meal?

ONLY THE RING OPPOSES U. S.
CoIombians Generally Not Sore
Over Loss of Canal.

Opposition to the secession of Pan
ANA and the requirement of the canal
by the United States is confined al
most entirely to the political ring in
Bogota," said George w. Seeley to
Minneapolis reporter. Mr.. Seeley has
just returned after nine months spent
in the interior of Colombia in the in
terest of Montana investors in gold
mines there. and he has, therefore,
had excellent opportunity to judge of
conditions.
The people of Colombia in general
are not in sympathy with the govern
ment at Bogota and while they regret
the loss of Panama, do not blame that
province for seeding" he said
Neither do they feel the loss of the
canal so keenly as they might, did
they not believe that the greed of the
Bogota gang was responsible for that
loss.
Most of my time in Colombia was
spent in Medellin, capital of Antioquia,
and the opinion of prominent mer-
chants and professional men in that
city of 10000 was summarized by one
merchant who said:
While it might have been better
for the Bogota government to take
$40 100000 for the canal rather than
lose all by over-reaching for $25, 0OO,-
600, the country at large is really not
much loser What we should like to
have seen was that $10,000,000 in the
hands of some American trust com
pany which would have invested the
money in Colombian railroad or
some similar improvement. If the
$10,000,000 had gotten into the hands
OF the Bogota gang that would have
been the last of it,
AS to the action of Panama in Sc.
ceding it can be honestly said that
many other provinces sympatbized
with the movement, feeling that the
treatment given the province justified
Panama's action. As an Indication of
the unpopularity of the government

COWARD?

BY Percy E. Reinganum.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1904-06-11

The butter market closes with about the
same prices on top grades as at the open
ing. The middle of the week strong
effort was made to boost prices on extras,
but the higher figure was unable to be
maintained, and quotations had to go back.
Large buyers seem to have made 16 cents
the dead line on guaranteed extras, and
refuse to consider any offerings even at
slight fraction higher. A large amount
of butter is going into coolers at range
of from 1914 to 16 cents; in fact. all the
surplus over and above the requirements
for city and shipping trade is going into
that channel. The present make is run
ming more uniform as to quality, and lacks
the objectional features that have been
so marked the past two weeks previous.
Owing to the reasonable values on cream
cry top makes, diaries have been more or
less neglected, and quotations weakened
under this depressing influence. A con-
siderable accumulation is In evidence to-
day, with a large proportion of the stock
In sight Of too good quality to make the
packing stock outlet available. Ladders are
taking In a generous amount of sweet
grass packing stock at quotations of 101a
cents. but are backward about making
bids on held lines. Speaking Of the en-
tire list broadly, indications point to a
rather steady maintaining of quotations
around present figures The trade gener-
ally are looking for comparatively low
prices on butter for the entire year. and
the most enthusiastic fail to express opin-
ions encouraging to any immediate adj
vance worth considera ton.
Egg values show no change for the week

poses. Local retailers are preferring tc

average receipts is proving too uncertain
a quantity Eastern markets are showing
weaker tendencies, but SO far that senti-
ment has not shown up locally.
The cheese market lacks features. A
nice trade is reportable, mostly on new
makes. Fall goods are virtually at the
mercy Of the buyer, and holders frequent
ly have to make Misunderstanding conces-,
sions in price in order to get buyers In
tereSted.
Of the poultry list is on a rather steady
basis. Price on broilers has been mar
rowed in range, as too much effort was
required to secure former outside figure
OF SC per dozen. To bring this, stock
must be good size and uniform. Dressed
meats have fluctuated somewhat Veal
especially has been in bad shape some
days of the week, as there seems to be
no outlet for quite a proportion of the UNI
der grades coming. Milk lambs are low
or. The supply has not been unusually
heavy, but the average urban butcher Will
not carry them at present prices.
The fish market on state caught has
gone to pieces the past few days Re-
ceipts have been heavy. and the outlet
not broad enough to move them. Many
lots contain small stock that is virtually
unsaleable at any price. This Is especially
so Of sunflsh and crappies.
The potato market haF shown unexpect-
new. State stock seems to be about
cleaned up on old, but good many cars
are arriving from the west. Protracted
and copious rains in the south have in
terfered with digging and marketing the
crop, and sufficient supplies have been
hard to secure. Quotations have advanced
nearly so cents per bushel on new for the
week. Cabbage and onions show no
change. New vegetables are In ample sup
ply, and reasonable on most lines. Green
and wax beans Of fancy quality have
been scarce Florida tomato season Is
over, but supplies are now coming from
Texas and will continue to come regular
ly from southern districts until home
grown become plentiful.
Oranges are selling WELL and navels are
cleaning up fast. What little stock Is
left of this variety Is being held at firm
prices. Mediterranean Sweets and ST.
Michaels are in ample supply, and ought
ing public. Lemons are firm, but no high
err. Warmer weather is causing dealers
to buy more heavily California cherries
are arriving regularly In car lots anc
values are somewhat lower. A few apri.
cots are also coming, but they do not av-
erage up to later fruit in quality.
Strawberries are or ought to be cheaI
enough to suit any one. The finest frui
on the market Is being billed out to-day
at $1.75 per case for Gas, while les are
selling at $1.20. This ought to get the
canning season opened up early, as they
can hardly go lower for really desirable
berries. Gooseberries are in the market
also Texas peaches. Melons are coming
regularly, but, being express receipts, arr
high in price. Sour cherries are In goot

pecans says the Drovers Journal. This is a
new departure in cattle feeding and is a bunch
for the experiment stations. The experiment III
this case proved very satisfactory, as the cows
showed good finish. 1t is not stated whether
the nuts were cracked and the kernels picked out
or whether the COWS had to eat them ''shucks

pecans in Texas but to feed them to cattle is
new idea
The interstate commerce commission, with
Commissioners J. C. Clements, J. b. Yeomans

the purpose of investigating charge by the
Texas Cattle Growers association to the effect
that the rates from Texas points to St. Louis,
Chicago and Kansas City are excessive and un-
reasonable.
