Prices of Meats.

Congress has directed Secretary
Cortelyou to investigate the prices of
dressed beef with view of ascertain
ing why consumers are compelled to
pay as much or more for beef than
they did one year ago In Omaha
which is a packing center. the coming
investigation is attracting considera-
BILE attention, and the packers in that
city say they are not guilty.
They say in substance that cattle on
the hoof are selling at one dollar less
per one hundred pounds than they did
two years ago, and the reduction in
the price of cattle has been applied TO
the dressed beef they sell to retail
dealers. The retailer pays in other
words one cent a pound less for his
meats than he did two years ago. But
the Omaha retailers continue to sell
meats as follow:
1902. 1904.
Round steak. 10 to 12c 10 to 121hc
Rib roast...... ....12 to lac 121s to 15c
Boiling beef. -. to &c to 5hc
Porterhouse steak. is to 22c Is to 221kc
The prices offered by Omaha re-
tailers go to show that the retailers IN
all parts of the country are holding
prices up, although they are paying
one cent less a pound by the carcass.
They claim that two years ago they
were not making any money. They
are making money now, but their
profits, so they claim, are not exorbi-
tant. The cattle raisers complain that
they do not get fair and just prices for
their cattle, and the consumers say
they are not getting any benefit from
the reductions in the prices of cattle.
The packers and the retailers are
thriving, as all middlemen are apt to
do, but the consumers and the cattle
raisers at either end of the beef line
are paying the freight" and there is
no relief for either in sight, although
we have harvested two great corn
crops in succession. How many great
corn crops would have to be harvested
before the consumers would be bene-
fitted, it is difficult to say, but perhaps
Secretary Cortelyou will take this
phase of the problem into considera-
tion, and tell us all about it.

WHEN THE wooDs ARE ruRs1r' BROW,
BY EDNA PERRY BOOTH

Lots Of folks have left the country,
They have hurried into town,
For the days are CROWN shorter,
And the woods are turnin' brown.
They can't see no beauty in it;
7 Those town-folks are blinds bat,
{ When they d rather have the city
: Than the woods, as looks like that.
I jest love them giant oak trees
With their arms a-hangin' down,
And the acorns droppin', droppin',
AS the woods are turnin' brown;
And the crows among the branches
Calm out, from tree to tree,
Make me wonder If they're Gavin
: To each other about me.
Now there amt no use a-sayin'
: That all nature wears frown,
Jest because the grass is yeller,
And the trees are turnin' brown.
No such thing-they're only smilin'
lis their way to sing song,
Cause they've kept the birds and flowers
In their shade, all summer long.
1 have walked through half the country,
But there's nothin' | have foun'
Quite SO comfortin' and restful
AS the woods -turnin' brown.
I've grown old within their shadow,
Old, and purity nigh as gay,
But there's nothin' that know OF
That's as dear to me as they.

Color of the Hair

From the color OF mans hair may be
learned a good deal in regard to his ir4sl-
lectual ability, says professor who has
for some months been closely studying the
subject. School boys with chestnut hair,
he maintains, are likely to be more clever
than any others and will generally be
found at the head of the class, and in
like manner girls with fair hair are likely
to he more studious and bright than girls
with dark hair. In mathematics and reci-
tations these boys and girls, he asserts,
especially excel On the other hand, be
says that boys and girls with brown hair
are mostly likely to attain distinction
through their individuality and style, and
that those with red or auburn hair do not
excel in any respect.
