MULkEY MEETINGS OPENED YESTERDAY
From the Outset the Evangilist Inter.
 ested His Audience.

If Phoenix is not better off at the close of the coming ten days it won't be Abe Mulkey's fault. Yesterday morning he began a series of evangel- istic meetings in the Central Metho- dist church to last that length of time and his personality is such and his teachings so easily comprehended that once he is heard one desires to hear him again. The result will be that all Phoenix will hear him before he leaves and one can not hear him without go- ing away benefited by his words. Last evening he preached a sermon on resti- tuition. His illustrations were clear. his witticisms keen, his delivery plain voking. With all these adjuncts he carried his teachings right to the hearts of his auditors.
 MT. Mulkey arrived yesterday on an early morning train coming here from Jackson, Mo. He was delayed enroute by a wreck a few miles out from Kansas City and for the first time in all the 443 meetings he has held was he late in keeping his ap- pointment. He took mp the work, however, at once and in the morning preached to a large congregation. In the afternoon he talked to the children at a meeting helG at o'clock and in the evening he preached the sermon above referred to. In his congregation were a large number of business men to whom his sermon was of special interest. In fact he termed his ser

KANSAS CITY MARKET
A Review of Prices and Conditions o
 the Past Week.

Kansas City, Mo, Dec. 10.-Cattle receipts dropped off one third last week. total 10000 head. as against 6O,- 900 the previous week. The shortage was mainly in range cattle, the propor- tion of fed steers showing an increase. The market advanced steadily all week killing steers gaining 20 to 30 cents, cows and stockers and feeders 15 to 25 cents, calves 25 cents higher. The supply now is 15,000 cattle, containing a still larger proportion of fed steers
 in various stages of finish. Chicago has an excessive supply, and the re- suit is that fed steers are 10 lower, while cows and stockers and feeders are steady and active. Range steers sell at $3.25 to $3.75 mainly, some thin Arizona stockers at $3 late last week, Arizona killers $340. Colorado cows sold at s2.70 to $2.90, with one ship ment of cows at $3 and heifers at $3.25. Panhandle cows sold Friday at s2.75
 similar to cows that sold two weeks ago at $40. Bulls bring s2 to s2.50. heavy calves $2.75 to s4.50, veals s5 to $6. A Liverpool cable reports Aneri- can beeves steady.
 Sheep and lambs advanced 9 cents last week, market 10 to 15 higher again yesterday. Small receipts locally are the cause of the snappy market here. 15, 900 last week, supply now 4500. Fed Colorado lambs, weighing so pounds
 sold at $7.40, so cents above any re- cent price. yearlings are quotable at $5.S5 to s615 wethers up to S5.S5. and
 ewes sold Friday at s5.75 for a few prime natives, choice fed western ewes

In an old collection Of matronly sto-
ries entitled The Gospel of the Dis
taff." printed at BrugeS in 1475. this
passage occurs: when a stork builds
her nest over 4 chimney it is a sign
that the proprietor shall have wealth
and long life" Ancient beliefs admit
ted that the stork protected buildings
against lightning. 1t is a holy bird,
and in certain German towns the ar
rival Of the storkS, heralds of spring
was announced with joyous blasts by
the Waterman on the tower. What is
certain is that which Miehelet says Of
the swallow may be applied to the
stork. "IIe has taken not only our
house. but also our hearts"

An old manual OF etiquette shows
that the people of bygone days We're
not so different from those Of the pres
ent, for the treatise thinks it necessary
to state that one should never ask Il
friend where she bought her gown ana
the uttermost farthng Of its cost. To
this rule, however, an astonishing eX-
ception is made One might ask these
things, it seems, if one really wanted
to get a gown exactly like the one in
question and were therefore asking sin
cerely for reformation. Evidently in
these days. when sisters thought it
smart to dress exactly alike. it was
considered Il compliment to copy a
friends gown. Another interesting

A Judgment of solomon.

The ancient and famous Holyrood
Sanctuary For Debtors fell into disuse
when Imprisonment for debt was abol-
ished in Scotland The most famous
worthy who took advantage of it was
Thomas De Quincy, author of 'Confes-
sions of an English Opium Eater The
sanctuary boundary at the foot of the
Canongate was marked by a row of
stones in the roadway, which was
known as the Abbey strand.
There is a most humorous story con-
nected with the institution. says the
London News. y reckless debtor left
the retreat and strolled up the Canon
gate. He was espied by Il vigilant
sheriff's officer, who promptly gave
chase. The debtor turned and ran like
a hare sanctuaryward. He tripped and
fell at the Abbey strand, but with his
head within the protected area. All the
same, he was arrested by the minion of
the law and immured in the debtors
quarters in Carlton Jail.
He sued the sheriff officer for illegal
arrest, and the court of sessions judge
who tried the case gave decision in
his favor His lordship held that the
head, the intelligent part of the mans
anatomy, which contracted the debt,
was within the sanctuary and thus Sc
cure from capture. The trunk and
limbs We're undoubtedly liable to ar
rest, but they could not be detached
from the head without fatal injury to
the subject, which was contrary to the
spirit of the humane law of Scotland.

certain tribe in the Caucasus. When a
single young man dies, some one calls
upon a ber"aved parent who has car
ried to the crave a marriageable daugh-
ter in the course of year and says;
Your son IL sure to want a wife. I'll
give you my daughter, and you shall de-
liver to me the marriage portion in re-

ton is never rejected, and the two par
ties soon come to terms as to the

cording to the advantages possessed

In parts of Germany. France and
Switzerland every humble householder
takes more interest in Christmas than
the average American boy. This seems
like a strong statement. for Christmas
is pretty thoroughly appreciated by the
young of America. But, great as the
festival is to them, it is not essential to
their existence. They could get along
without Christmas but the toymakers
in Switzerland, the Tyrol and south
Germany would StarVe without this
midwinter holiday which makes IA mar
ket for their goods. There are wood
carvers, doll dressers and tOymakers
in every hamlet and home of the Tyrol.
They depend upon the small wages
they make from these toys to put bread
and butter in their mouths.
All through the winter season every
boy and man carves out wood animals
and toys for the factories. Everything
is handmade. \ Noah's ark of twenty

natives knew nothing about Christmas,
but now they all celebrate the day
and do it, of course, in the same way
as the Americans who live there. The

Honolulu and Christmas in New York
is that i'll Honolulu in December the
weather is like June in New York

carnations; fields and mountain slopes
are ablaze with color and sunny sky

are sports and games and merrymak-

The Luxurious Romans.

The Romans had no flower shows
There were bread and circuses," but
not bread and flowers. The luxurious
Roman used roses in enormous quanti-
ties at his banquets. 1t was a fine joke
to have roses fall from above ON guests
reclining at their tables and the flow
ers in such quantities as to smother
them. A writer recalls picture of AL
ma-Tadema's "The Rose Feast of
Elagabalus," which shows the super
abundance of roses. To spend ON a
banquet in roses 100000 sesterces,
equivalent TO about 100000, is record
ed by Suetonius, but possibly Suetonius
eXaggerates.
