men all marked with the smallpox.
This PaulovskI regiment did one thing
which amused me. Just before the

When Mr.. Motley. the historian,

had trouble at his first dinner party.
Mr.. Leveson-Gower says: ''At that
time couples were sent in to dinner in
pairs, but nobody's place was fixed.
Unfortunately the Turkish ambassa-
dor was allotted to Lady Waldegrave,
who did not care to have him as her
neighbor. She consequently told him
that his place was at the other side
of the table. He. with oriental polite
ness, did as she bade him, and sat
down opposite to her. This upset the
whole arrangement. The couples wan
dered about the room like sheep that
were being driven out of field. Mr..

a good temper. went into a passion.

All Love the Enthusiast

1t is as natural for us to be attract
ed toward sunshiny natures as it is
for flowers to turn toward the sun.
In spite of life of almost constant
illness, Robert Louis Stevenson
charmed all who came under his in
fiuence by his spontaneous cheerful
ness and absolute freedom from all
shadow of bitterness or repining,
comments Success. He found the key
note of each day in this simple pray
er, born of his own inspirations: THE
day returns and brings us the petty
round of Irritating concerns and
duties. Help us to play the man; help
us to perform them with laughter and
kind faces; let cheerfulness abound
with industry. Give us help to go
blithely on our business all this day:
bring us to our resting beds weary
and content and undishonored and
grant US in the end the gift Of sleep"

WoMAN'S BIG HAT.
A Lesson Given to One Who Needed
II in a New York Theater.


II in New York Theater.
That some women will not remove
their hats in theaters until compelled
SO to do is self-evident fact. says
the New York Press. An instructive
lesson was taught in popular play
house few night ago. A gentleman
and his wife occupied a box in the
second tier. Immediately behind a
couple in one of the first tier. He
sat behind madame. his wife behind
monsieur. Madame's millinery reach
ed to the moon and was all lingerie
and yard wide. After craning his
neck till 1t looked like the skintight
cervical vertebrae of a gralotorial
giant, he said to his wife in a voice
that carried six feet: Are you able
to see the stage?" "Oh, yes; l can see
quite well. And you?" See? Not at
all! l am hopelessly shut out. Is the
curtain up? Is the play going on?"
Monsieur turned quickly. fiercely. COM
batively. eyed the speaker made a
whispered savagely to madame, and
off came the skyscraper.
The story recalls the first time in
New York in recent years when ef-
forts were made to persuade women to
remove their hats in playhouses. 1t oc-
Cured in Days theater one night that
a man in an orchestra chair was shut
out by magnificent Gainsborough
His frequent hens and haws were un-
noticed. Finally brilliant plan
forced itself into his mind. Picking
up his silk hat from the floor he
placed it upon his head and straight
ened up. Immediately there came
from the rear of the house: Take OF
that hat!' "Off with that hat!" The
wearer OF the Gainsborough in a
panic hastily complied. whereupon the
man returned his hat to the floor,
which action was followed by chorus
of satisfactory "Ahs!" Possibly the
woman does not yet know that the
silk hat was the object of attack.

Modern Institutions Criticised.

May 25 was the centenary of the
death of Archdeacon Paley who wrote
Evidences of Christianity" The arch
deacon likened "the divine right of
kings" to "the divine right of con-
stables" and satirized the institution
of private property by the simile of a
hundred pigeons in field Of corn.
IT, instead of each picking where
and what 1t liked, taking just as much
as 1t wanted and no more" ninety
nine of them were to reserve only the
chaff and refuse for themselves and
heap up the rest for "the weakest,
perhaps worst. pigeon of the flock"
that, said Paley, would be just like
human private property.

MouRNED HIS LOST CENT.
Boys Miseriiness Greater Than His
Reasoning Power.

Henry H. Rogers of the Standard
Oil company was born in Fairhaven,
Mass, and Fairhaven woman said
of him the other day:
''Mr. Rogers is liberal. AS boy
lie was the same. l never saw any
one as free with his money as this
man.
Il once asked Mr.. Rogers the best
and quickest way to accumulate big
fortune. and he told me that liberality
"a willingness to part with lots OF
money in the hope of getting still
more back-was the secret of success,
provided that industry and intelli-
gence accompanied it.
HE said that penuriousness was
fatal to the speedy acquisition OF
wealth. and he pointed to the case of
a miser, a friend of his boyhood. who,
with all his scrimpings and scrap,
ings. had hardly saved $4,000 in the
course of long life.
Il remembered this miser well.
Even as a little child he had been
mean and close. A lady. one after
noon. had found him seated on curb
stone crying and weeping as II his
heart would break.
what is the matter, my poor
child?' the lady said.

DENVER MARKETS

Union Stock Yards. Denver. July %.
1t was very dull last week in stock
yards circles and very little that is en-
couraging from the shippers point of
view can be said about the market.
The week started out with a heavy run
at all eastern points and prices went
down by jumps. The run was not
heavy here, but the market went lower
in sympathy with the general decline
at all points, until on Wedr~ sday Of
ferings were selling here right around
soc lower than at the high time OF the
week before. Since then. however. the
situation has been looking better. as
receipts have been lighter on the east
ern markets, but values are still
around 25c to 35c lower than they were
at the opening of the week on beef
steers and butcher stock. while feed
ers and stockers declined about a quar-
ter. The big end of the run here CON
sisted of beef and good many grass
finished steers were included. Packers
were good buyers. but they are still
able to get a good many dry lot cattle
and are not taking very readily to the
grassers yet. A few weeks more VIII

shape to market, but most of them
are little too green now and Will be

stuff. or until they are ripe. Trading

tinues light and there is very little in
dication of much activity for the next
few weeks. or until Eastern farmers
get their heavy work out OF the way
There are very few country buyers
showing up at any of the markets Just
now. and very light feeder and
stocker trade is reported at all points.
The hog supply has been very good
and the market active. The demand
continues very good. The week closes
with tops selling around $3.50 and the
range down to $5.35
Sheep are lower in sympathy with
big decline at all markets. There Is
very little doing on this market as yet
