TAUGHT THEM A LESSON.
Militia Captain Cured His Men Of

Militia Captain Cured His Men Of
careIessness In Dress.
Sixty-hve years ago the law Of the
town of Roxbury directed that every
man should drill in ore of her three
militia companies. No uniform was
required, but 1t was demanded that
arms and accoutrements should be in
perfect condition.
Capt. William Lingham was very
proud of his well-drilled, neatly
dressed men. but few members OF
his company tried his soul by the care
lessness of their appearance. These
were laborers from .he br!ckyards.
who came to drill with bare feet,
trousers rolled up to their knees and
clothes covered with clay. But since
they we're careful 10 keep their ac-
coutrerlents in order he could find no
fault uH
Near where the Norfolk House now
stands was a large field. and one day
when the brickmakers appeared with
bare feet Capt. Lingham ordered his
company into this field, where he
marched and countermarched them
over the thistles and stubble. paying
no attent to the muttered curses of
the men, whose feet. pricked by
thorns and scratched by briers. soon
left tracks of blood wherever they
went.
At noon he dismissed the company,
to meet again at o'clock. This time
every man appeared with covered legs
and shoes on.
Capt Lingham celebrated his vic
tory by giving the men an easy after
Moons drill. after which he marched
them out to West Roxbury and gave
them a good dinner at Taft's Tavern.

Justice Tempered With Mercy.

A Virginia Justice of the peace un-
dertook to temper Justice with mercy
in the case of boy charged with
petty larceny" The evidence against
him was conclusive; but he was very
young: 1t was his first offense, and
there was some extenuating circum-
stances. The old farmer Justice de-
cided to give the boy stern lecture.
He looked at the culprit severely
through his spectacles and began his
stern lecture. Young man." said he,
this is awful, this is right down aw-
full. and want to warn you'll want to

Justice suddenly confiicted with the
pity awakened by the sight of the lad.
who stood trembling before him. He
cleared his throat twice. and then. half
in mercy and half in Indignation at his

Market Repart,


Kansas City Live Stock Market Review as
furnished by stollor Live Stock Com. Co.
The receipts of live stock for the
month OF June as compared with the
same month last year show gain
all around, cattle and calves $500
more, hogs %, 100 and sheep $4,000.
Prices on cattle declined during
June about as follows:-
Choice to prime native steers 20 to
33c, medium to fair native steers 30
to 40c, Common to fair native steers
35 to SOC, fat westerns same as
above. Common to medium heifers
and yearlings 10 to 25c, medium
COWS 10 to 15c, common COWS 10 to
25c, choice feeders Is to 25c, COM
mon to fair feeders % to 4Oc, choice
stockers 20 to 30c common to fair
stockers 35 to so, veal calves 25c.
Choice native heifers aud yearlings
and corn fed COWS are selling steady
with month ago.
The fist week in June the cattle
receipts were excessive in both na-
tive and quarantine divisions and
prices generally declined from 20 to
4Oc. The second and third weeks
the supply was not so heavy but
prices declined still further reaching
the low level of the season during
the third week. The last week Of
June showed a marked improvement
on killing cattle especially in the
native division. Stockers and feed
ers closed up dull and are generally
from 25 to 40c lower for the month,
heavy feeders getting the full bene-
fit of the decline.
June hog receipts were the heavi-
est since 1901. The fluctuations
have been very light considering the
heavy receipts. The highest price
of the month was reached during the
closing week, top hogs selling at
$3.50, the highest June price since
1903. The range of prices between
the light and heavy hogs has been
very narrow during the entire month.
We have had the heaviest June
sheep receipts in the history of the
Kansas City market. Our prices
were right up with Chicago most of
the time and there were but one or
two lots shipped on in first hands.
Considering the heavy supply prices
were remarkably we'll maintained
showing decline of only 10 to 15c
for the month.

colora DOS Agricultural Interests.

CoIora do'8 AGRICULTURAL tntcreSto'
No phase of the dliberatlons Of
the State Realty Association, now in
session here, is Of more Importance
than that which has to do with the
agricultural resources and possibili
ties of Colorado.
Because Colorado is the richest
gold producing state in the Union
and one, of the greatest producers Of
all other minerals, her reputation
among the citizens of other sections
is very largely that of mining
state. Comparatively few of her
own citizens realize that the prodnc-
tion of her mines is now second to
that of her farms, and that her ag
ricultural resources are being de-
veloped with rhpidity that is moth
ing short of marvellous.
The year 1904 recorded an output
of metals aggregsting a valuation OF
100000. The farms of the state
added about $53,OO0,OOO to her
wealth, not including live stock and
wool production to the amount of
$13,OO0,O00 more. In 1903 Colora-
do contained 2,250,O00 acres of land
properly classed as agricultural,
while in 1904 the area under Guilt
walton had increased to 1892, 900
acres, showing gain Of nearly one
and half millions OF acres or more
than fifty per cent in one year. In
1898 the state had not a dollar OF
wealth due to the beet sngar indus
try. In 1904, six years later, the
beet sugar production had a valua-
tion of SO, ,672, ,00O.-Colorsdo Springs
