 pected, but prices for range cattle held
 up steady last week. Of course, cat
 tie from certain regions that have suf-
 fered from lack of rain, thereby injur
 ing the grass, did not sell as we'll as
 formerly as they had begun to go back in flesh. The large bulk of the range steers suitable for the packers were
 taken at steady prices, as were the cows and canners. Panhandle steers sold at $500 to $3.5O, ColoraGos S3.OO to
 $3 75 and a few shipments of heavy
 mountain steers, 113O to 115O pounds, sold at $4OO to $40. Panhandle cows sold at $2.25 to $2.75, and the heavier Colorado cows Tt $40 10 $500. COun- try demand for Stockers and feeders holds up strong, and the prices were about the same as the previous week, S2.75 to $3-75. Some $50 to 400 pound steer calves sold at $3.25, and heifers out of same shipment at $2.75, from Rirle country. The run yesterday was 10000 cattle and the market steady. SpeCulators arc good buyers of stock CTS and feeders, and the packers are 1 buying killing cattle at steady prices.
 Mutton markets have been all that could be asked for a long time now. ! The run is heavy us II, ,OOO head here, but the market is steady. Colorado grass yearlirgs. 9S pounds. sold at SASS. Yearlings from same herd sold last week at S4.9O. but with a slightly
 different cut, and the same condition
 applies to Utah grass lambs. 50 pounds
 at $5.6O, last week at $5.65. so that the price averages about the same. Fed yearlings bring up to S5.25. lambs $500.
 Grass ewes sell around S4.OO to SA25 and fed ewes S4.25 to $4.50. There is a
 strong demand for thin sheep at S3.75

why don't you write stories, Eva?
You are such a capital hand to make
up story that hasn't an atom of truth
in it, and tell it in a most convincing
manner?"
Thank you for the ompliment,"
Eva replied. Il might be tempted to
try it if | really though | could sell
them. The fact is she continued
people are too willing to listen to a
bit of scandal, are too anxious to find
out something detrimental to their
friends, and will believe any kind of
a story which furnishes fuel for the
fire Of gossip
why Eva Werner, do you think
would believe evil stories told of my
friends. | would not care to hear
them, no matter how we'll they were
told"
You are only human" replied Eva,
land the best of us may be tempted
and fall. BY the way, did you hear
that Will wilkins is on the verge of
failure?"
Yes, Jack said yesterday that his
friends were afraid he would lose the
remaining bit of property he owns. 1t
seems strange that man of his age
and experience, who has had so much
money to use, cannot make success
of some of his ventures.
For a few moments there was sill
ence, then Eva said, very quietly, Did
you ever hear that Will came by his
money in a very peculiar manner;
that negro woman-a beautiful mu-
latto-who had been his grandfathers
slave. and had been educated by him,
held control of the property during the
life of Wills father? After the death
of Mr. wilkins, senior, Will was
obliged to care for the negTess until
she died, in order to get possession OF
the money"
Il have never heard any such non.
sense" replied Mrs. Rhodes. Il have
always supposed that Wills father left
him the money, but | did not know;
he has been such a kind friend to us
since we moved here that would not
like to believe any i'll of him."
We'll, there are truths stranger

over him-'conjured' the colored folks

BURIED BEAUTY IN OH PARIS.
Architectural Experts Find Much That
Has Been Covered Up.


1t has been known for some time
that the roadway in front of the Ca

much higher than it originally was,
and that the view of the entrance suf.
fers in consequence. The architecture.
al expert of the Louvre IIuseum, NJ.
Redon, has discovered that the Louvre
is also buried beneath the ground to a
far greater depth than The original
plans warranted. M. Redon concludes
from his Investigations that, as
planned at first, the Louvre was to
have been encompassed by a moat, the
excavation of which was prevented by
the houses that surrounded it at the
time. Afterward, when the houses
were got rid of, the idea of the moat
was forgotten, and the land rose nat
urally to its present height, hiding
over 24la feet of the building. The
Committee for the Preservation OF Old
Paris intends, under NJ. Redon's su.

WHY THEY FAVOR 1T
DEMOCRATIC FONDNEsS FOR
COMPETITIVE RECIPROCITY.
1t Is Regarded as an Important Step
in the Direction of Free Trade, a
Half Loaf That is Much Better Than
No Bread.

Democratic leaders in Congress and
elsewhere are sitting up of nights to
advance the cause of something of
their own devising which they are
pleased to call reciprocity" They
say 1t is the reciprocity mentioned as
an economic possibility by Mckinley
and Blaine. In the first place no re.
publican of weight has ever suggested
reciprocity in any form that could
interfere, in the slightest degree, with
the protection of American wages
which are much the highest in the
world, or with fostering the wise de-
velopment of industries on our own
soil. No prominent republican has
ever proposed reciprocity in any ex-
cept non-competitive products, and not
specifically in regard to those. None
has ever touched on the subject save
as a generalization worthy OF thought,
but secondary to republican protec-
ton, giving to that beneficent policy
the full party recognition it has
always had, and always will have, I'M
less the party moves off it's old founda-
tions. But what sort of reciprocity
are democratic managers urging upon
public attention, claiming to have Dor
rowed it from eminent republicans?
1t is slash at all protection, an en-
tering wedge to rip up the Dingley
tariff in competitive or any other prod
ucts. 1t is simply a renewal of the
fight, on shifted ground, for democrat
ic free trade.
Thus democrats in Congress are de-
claring that the Cuban tariff conces.

none of the buying, while free trade
in manufacturers would swamp every
one of her youthful industries. The
American farmer objects to recipro-
city restricted to natural products
only. With good reason he objects to
having all of Canada's surplus of grain
dumped on the American market. He
knows that to remove the protective
tariff from Canadian cereals would not
only be Instantaneous to his inter
ests now but would in the near future
help to build up a competition over
whelming in its magnitude.
Canada's grain-producing possibili.
ties are practically unlimited. Tho
total acreage Of the lands in Manitoba
end thence west to the Rockies, and
RAINING 600 or 700 miles north of the
boundary line is 2,230,000,000 acres.
OF this about 25000,0 900 acres are be-
ing utilized or have been transferred

Hteads and other purposes of produc.
ton. or these 20, 100000 this year
only 3l23, 663 acres were under cult
walton. The actual yield of grain of
all kinds this year was 10000 900
over last year. The wheat yield was
5Tl63O32 bushels, an increase OF
about 100000.
AS rapidly as immigration can be in
duced and lands placed under cultiva,
ton these countless millions OF acres
are to be added to the wheat-produc-
ing area of North America. 1t is the
dream of Canada to become the great
wheat-producing country of the world
Reciprocity in natural products would
greatly hasten the realization of this
dream Already large numbers OF
moving over to the Canadian North
west and locating upon lands within
reach of railroad transportation.
There will be more railroads, more
| accessible lands, more farmers rushing
| over to take and till them. That is
what Canada wants 1t is not, how
ever, what the American farmer
wants. He prefers to retain as long as
| possible the advantages which the
| present tariff gives him in the matter
OF profitable market for his food
! stuffs. Hence his opposition to reel.

Is It unreasonable or unnatural that
