than Last Week.

Special to the EXPRESS
Kansas City. Mo-, Dec. 7, 1904.
Prices on quarantine cattle are a
little better this week than last, and
some better cattle have been here

heifers 81. 80, cows $2.I5 TO s.. 90,
and bulls sell at Gamer prices,
$I.7s to S7.1o. No nice light veals
are coming, but heavy ones sell at
$2.75 to $3.50. Some panhandle
cattle that came in Saturday sold
strong at $40 for Gamers, and all
kinds Of stock and feeding cattle
are meeting a better demand now
than they have this season. Peo-
pie are beginning to realize that
the number of cattle OIL feed is
short, and where there is any feed
to be secured, are putting them in
to the feed lots. Almost every
body is talking higher prices for
the winter
Hog receipts are heavy at all
points, and it looks like high corn
was running the hogs out Of the
country. Packers are anxious for
them at present prises, and cannot
use sufficient restraint in compet-
ing with each other to effct much
reduction in price. Everybody
thinks prices will soon be higher

Mutton prices are strong this
week, but were barely steady last
week. Best lambs sold here today
at 5000, fed western yearlings

wethers and yearlings $40, ana
top ewes bring $3.50 Very few
thin sheep are here this week, and
they will be scarce from this time

Queer Marriage Proposal Accepted by

When she was a young girl she was
thrown much into the company of
Sir Alexander Duff Gordon, and PEG.
pie began to gossip about them.

said 10 her one day.
Indignant that he should mention
the matter so bluntly. she burst out
with a hot retort. but he checked her.
Shall we make il true?" he asked.
She forgot her indignation and shy.
Iy answered Yes
Lady Duff Gordon lived a great part
OF her life in Egypt, and was loved
by the natives more than any other
Englishwoman has been before and
since. She was very beautiful, and q

VERY EASY FOR HER.
Problem Presented No Difficulties to
This Woman.


A "wOman's reason" with all it's ira
ditional lack of logic, came out in an
amusing fashion at a recent dinner
party in Brooklyn.
In the course of the evening the con
versatiOn drifted around to those odd
little mathematical bits of the How
old.is.Ann variety. when one of the
company, with explanations that the
next problem would not be a very
difficult one. questioned as follows:

$1.10, and the bottle cost a dollar more
than the cork, how much did the cork
cost"
Almost instantly n of the ladies

the bottle $1.05. That's too easy"

years of experience with her woeful
lack of skill in figures, looked up in

you come to get that so soon?"

Fire ordinances are by no means
modern or even. complicated, at least
in proportion to the new inventions
and causes, electric lights and other
elaborate and infammable fixtures,
and to the various inventions and
methods of prevention. Nearly a hun-
drcd years ago there Wore ordinances
as numerous and as long for the pre-
yention and extinction of fires. In 1915
Detroit had an elaborate fire ordi'
nance. Ii ordered every householder
to provide a pair of water buckets and
a wooden vessel holding twenty or
twenty-five gallons, with two loops
strongly attached thereto which
were always to be kept full of water
in a place where it could not be frozen
and To have a lever or pole of suffi-
cient weight and strength To sustain
said vessel. To each chimney of his
house he must attach a substantial
ladder, to be fastened to the roof, and
another ladder long enough to COM
municate with the first.
Every male person capable OF giving
assistance must, on an alarm or fire,
repair to the scene, carrying one or
more of such vessels, and obey the
orders of one of the trustees. Twelve
h%ouseholders appointed by the board
of trustees were to provide themselves
each with "a good telling AK" and re-

were to be provided by the corpora

HoANeHo A CROOKED RIVER.
Il Is $500 Miles Long, Draining $50,
600 Square Miles.

The most crooked river in the world
is the Chinese river Hoangho, or Vel
low river. IL is crooked both in HABITS
and shane and a more uncertain
stream cannot be found, for 1t Is sub
iect To sudden changes of depth, vol
umc and channel. says the Montreal
Family Herald. Before the great o
of 1873 It's outlet was 900 miles
south of It's present mouth.
The Hoansho. in its course OF 1900
miles. drains nearly 100000 square
miles of land. Its crookedncss can be
gathered from the following facts:
Flowing from the kuen Luen noun
tains, II runs northwest. then north
east, then changes to east as far az
Hanchow, whence 1t flows due north
10 Dunchu. Here IL takes n complete
curve eastward for some 200 miles.
then abruptly goes direct south. For
some 800 miles II flows on To- Tung-
chow. then changes to an eastsr,y d.
rection to Hoaiking. Avoiding hs
former bed, II finally flows to the
northeast and enters the sea at the
Gulf of Pcchili.
Other very crooked rivers are the
Brahmapootra. the Niger, the VO,ga,
the Mississippi and the Jordan, but
these are far behind the HoanghO Tor
