THE TACTFUL WOMAN.
How She Makes Friends.

Tact is that nice perception which
enables US to grasp the situation and
to do and say exactly the right thing
at the right moment.
In reviewing our acquaintance we
perceive that it is the tactful woman
that outdistances her neighbors. In
social life the tactful woman is the
favorite, knowing, as she does, how to
skate upon the thin ice of Vanity Fair.
She triumphantly Skins over all diff
ficuit places, leaving behind her the
impression that she is a charming wO-
man, and frequently gaining credit for
qualities she never possessed.
In everyday walks of life tact is the
lubricating fluid which causes the So
cial machinery to run smoothly. and
renders pleasant that which otherwise
would be unbearable We can all re-
member some critical hour when we
owed debt of everlasting gratitude
to the tactful bearing of someone else.
Ask the longsuffering hostess of
whom among all her guests she re-
serves the pleaSanteSt memories, and
her choice is certain to fall upon the
person of tact. She gratefully recalls
how her ready wit prevented friction
and poured the oil of diplomacy on the
troubled waters thus contributing in
no small measure to the success of her
gatherings. The tactful woman, abides
in her memory long after the lions and
geniuseS are forgotten.
The woman of tact journeys through
life making few enemies and winning
the confidence of all who thoroughly
know her She gains her own way
more readily than Others simply be-
cause she knows the wisdom of biding
in silence with her eve ever watchful
for the turn of the tide
She has proven the truth of the old
proverb that persuasion often sue
ceeds where force fails" and conse-
quently avoids the mistakes of her sis
ters, and leads, where she appears to
follow, gaining time by her seeming
inactivity; because, having made the
best of her powers of observation, she
has no lost ground to cover

Kansas City, No., June 25, 1906. =
On Tuesday Of last week there was a
severe break In fat steers, is to 80
cents, but after that the market made
a partial recovery. Cows and heifers
did not lose as much as steers, and
closed the week nearly steady. Feed
,ers declined with fat steers, but stOckers
held steady. The supply Of cattle to-
day is much reduced from recent Mon
days, the market Is s TO 10 cents high
er, and prospects are therefore pro-
missing for balance Of this week. The
cheaper grades Of cattle have been
selling fairly well lately, and the me-
dium and light grass cattle from Indian
Territory and Texas, In the Quarantine
division have made advances in each of
the last two weeks, in the face of lower
prices for fat steers. The situation
just now seems to be the result Of too
many cattle on feed, but now that they
have been worked of pretty closely,
there should be a good outlet for the
lighter grades that do not run into beef
80 rapidly. A few fat steers from
Eastern Colorado sold lately at $4.65 to
$4.S5. Several shipments of Parhan-
die stOckers were here late last week,
at around $S.65, feeders from $3.50 to
$3.50. 800 TO 1925 lbs. grass steers are
bringing $3.50 to $3.50 in the Quaran-
tine division, and this class will COM
mand the sameor little more in the
native division from killers. Veals have
fluctuated considerably lately, but sell
today at $500 to $3.50.
The mutton market Is a shade lower
than a week ago, taking into considera-
ton an advance of 10 cents today.
Packers complain Of bad conditions in
mutton market East, but seem willing
to take all that come at present prices.
Two shipments Of Arizonas sold at 81. u
today, 90 and l07 lbs. respectively, Tex.
as ewes at $4.S5. Native spring lambs
at $500. Some light wOoled Colorado
lambs, 66 lbs. sold last week at $6.75,
and grass yearlings bring around S6.25,

Ths Sons Ole Glory SlnGs.

What is the song Old Glory sings
When the wind goes roaring by
And the banner born Of valor filings
Itself against the sky!
Know you the song II rustless out
To the time-beat Of the breezel
'Tis the blended chord of a battle shout
Caught up between the seas.
Amid the smoke II rose and clung
To the blazing stripes and stars,
And It is the call the flag gave tongue
When rent by shrapnel scars.
1t ripples ops when the wind is high
sit did in days long gone
The flag careens to the bending sky
With its valiant shout: Come onl"
This is the song Old Glory sings
When its ripple slowly runs;
'Tis a song Of peace on gentle wings,
A song Of silent guns.
All joyful, too, that the stress is done
And the throbhing drum beats cease;
'Tis chant of victories long won
A wondrous strain of peace.

A Few Facts AbOu. the FlaG.

The red In our flag stands for valOr,
the white for purity, the blue for JUS
tice. Our first Revolutionary flag gen.
orally used was called the Grand Union
flag. In this the colOnists. who, we
must remember, we're still Englishmen,
kept the red ground Of the old English
flag, but striped II with white bars, so
that there should be thirteen lists, or
stripes as an emblem Of the thirteen
colonies. Also, they kept the blue field
Of the English Union Jack, but took
out the crosses Of St. George and St.
Andrew, and put instead thirteen stars
in a circle. This flag was inaugurated
by Washington at his camp in Cam
bridge. Massachusetts, in January,
l776. though it was not adopted by
Congress until the fourteenth of June,
TIT.
Some Of our flags Of about this time
show the stars arranged in the blue in
the shape Of one big star, and some
show them arranged in circle. The
permanent present fashion was adopt
ed after 1918, when Congress passed a
resolution that new star should be
added to the blue field for every new
state admitted into the Union.

the New York Life Ins. Co. Mr..
Maley represents the great Mutual

u. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what this
disease is, and that ordinary remedies
have little more effect than so much
water. Cuban diarrhoea is almost as
severe and dangerous as mild attack
Of cholera. There is but one remedy,
however, that can always be depended
upon as will be seen by the following
certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of
Houston, Texas: II hereby certify
that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy cured my husband Of
q severe attack Of Cuban diarrhOea,
