money had been won dishonesty Be-
sides, It was equivalent to dishonesty

perience to take money won from a
foolish boy that belonged to a woman

and retail dealers all over the country,
Dealers in goats at the stockyards say
this is true in Kansas City as well as
elsewhere.
Several times of late I have gone into

said q goat dealer at the stockyards this
morning.
eThe average man is fooled. 1t is
easy enough, though to distinguish the
difference between sheep and goat meat
lif one will only take the time and
trouble. Herein the difference lies.
In the sheep the front leg from the hooi
TO the knee is about the same length as
from the knee to the shoulder. With
/ the goat the distance from the hoof To
the knee is only about half as great as
from the knee to the shoulder. Also
| the goat is much more razor backed than
the sheep. The backbone, or spinal col
lumn, is not 50 flexible as that Of the
sheep and It cannot be so easily broken

much ii the animal is young, for kit

am of the opinion that both the packer

green butcher thinks that he Is buying
/ the most innocent Of animals, the lamb
when he has bought the goat; and agar
| the retail dealer knows that he ha'
bought goat and sells it to the consum
er for mutton
The Kansas City market receives Z

General Sympathy in India Is With Lord

simla, British India, Aug. 22.-Among
the general public sympathy is being
expressed for Lord CtlFzon Of Kedleston,
vieeroy Of India, who for some weeks
has been confined to his bed, from where
he conducted his fight single.handed
against the cabinet. There is widespread
regret that he has felt himself obliged
to resign despite the almost unanimous
support Of the press and commercial
bodies.
The friends Of Lord Kitchener are
jubilant and the commander-in-chief Of
the forces now stands as the de facto
viceroy, with his prestige greatly en-
HANGED. In the opinion Of the natives
Lord Kitcheneras power Is supreme.
