Men ought to know that:
For men only

6 The only man who never hurts
c his wife's feelings, is bachelor.
God and man do not measure
success by the same standard.
"A clinging girl can tangle up a
!, man worse than any other kind.
Boys have to learn how to make
love, girls are born with the knowl-
} edge.
"A man is selfish for himself, a
woman is selfish for those she loves.
Notwithstanding all the cutlery
that has been made against the corset
there is something good in it.
"A woman can't drive a nail but
she can drive a man crazy.
You can listen to the moaning of
the tied in a divorce court as we'll as
at the sea shore.
Most people would rather pro-
claim a disagreeable truth than a
pleasant one.
If mothers fond dreams about
their children were all fulfilled, there
would be no one to do the work.
"A woman is never so crOss-eyed
that she can't see straight through a
man.
More worry is expended over
calamities that never happen than
there is over those that really occur.
If man steps on powder train
or dress train he is apt to get blown
up.
"A woman is never particular about
her gown when she visits an asylum
for the blind.
Women are not sensitive about
their age; they are always willing to
tell how old-other women are.
When that Down East girl married
an Indian she was caught red-handed.
"A girl never really enjoys a box
of confectionery sent to her by another
girl.
"A woman is twice as particular
about getting her hair mussed up by
her husband as she was by her lover.
1t is called sewing circle because
there is always SO much gossip going
round and round.
1t IS strange that woman seldom
accidently falls in the water unless
there is a man handy to save her.
"A young mans achievements never
lose any of their importance by being
told by his mother.
1t hurts boy twice as bad to get
spanked if his chum is where he can
hear him holler.
1t IS very easy for a young lady to
keep the commandment Glove thy
neighbor as thyself'' if her neighbor
is handsome young man.
The older a woman grows the
more critical she gets about everything
except her lovers.
A farmer with pretty daughters
has no trouble about getting hired
men.
"A mother feels sad when young
men begin to call on her daughter,
but she feels worse if they don't call.
Women don't say any more things
than men do, they just talk more.
1t makes a big difference in the
size of girls mouth whether she is
holding clothes pins in it while hang
ing out the Mondays wash or whether
she is eating candy in the presence of
her lover.
When a boy gets whipped for
going in swimming contrary to his
mothers orders, he always wishes he
had staid in longer.
1t is easier to win young lady's
regard than the regard of her kid
brother.

RANGE CATTLE WEAK
Prices Steady on Choice Stuff
But Low on Others

Denver Union Stock Yards, Aug
ust 2l.-The receipts here this morn
ing were light. Quality was very
good and the demand was fair but
unfayorable advices from the eastern
markets made trading slow and
prices are a little lower than last
weeks close. The trade last week
was rather uneven and hard to get a
line on. Early in the week the
market was active and steady and
prices paid here were higher than
those at the river. Later the heavy
run, together with unfavorable re-
ports from the east, had a demoraliz-
ing effect on the situation here and
prices took drop. Best fat steers
were very nearly steady at the close
but common stuff and COWS were
right around a quarter lower Bulls
sold about steady throughout the
week, and yeals were strong to a
dime higher than the preceding
week. Feeders and stockers were
about quarter lower in sympathy
| with lower markets east The de-
mand all week was good for good
cattle. There were too many of the
common and inferior kinds on the
market, however, which was the
direct cause of the decline Choice
grass steers sold at s3. IS to 81 with
the bulk of the business at 1925 to
S3.s5. Best COWS sold up to So with
most of the sales around 80 25 to
s2.65 and common stuff from 1925
down. Bulls sold. at SLIGO to 81
and veal calves around So. 10 to 4.25.
Feeders sold up to 81. 80 but it took
good ones to reach this price. Fair
to good trades sold at 50. Is to 1925
with common steers down to 50.
The feeder market was somewhat
of disap oointment. There was
fair demand but buyers were not as
numerous as expected, and many
cattle that should have gone to the
feed lots were forced onto the kill
ers. 1t is still very hst in the east.
Cattle do not do we'll and feeder
buyers are not ready to stock up yet.
Our market here is in as good
shape as any of them and prices last
week were relatively higher than at
the Missouri river markets. Cows
bought here at $3.50 sold after being
shipped east at So 10, while several
punches of young steers on which the
owner refused fair bid here sold
for the same money after being for
warded. w. n. Fulton.

Agricultural College has One
Arranged

The State Agricultural college
has lust issued its first annual an
nouncement of short course In az
ricultural and domestic science.
The announcement is in the form OF
a bulletin. illustrated with haIt tone
cuts of scenes at the school and on
the college farm. \ three months
winter term will be given, beginning
Wednesday. December e. Students
will register Tuesday, Decemher ..
As the bulletin announcgs the
short course in agriculture is offered
at this time TO supply the demands
OF young men and women who are
ambitious to excel in their lie work
along agricultural lines, anG who
feel the need of more educati0I and
scientific training in their chosen
calling. The time which sucG per-
sons can devote to study in colleges
is often limited, and the prepare
tion necessary for college course, III
a great many instances, has no. been
acquired by the boys and girls on the
farm. For these reasons the selec-
tion of topics and the arrangement
of studies, laboratory work, judging
exercises, ETC.. have been planned to
give the greatest amount of know
ledge and training possible in the
shortest time. The subjects chosen
for the course are those about which
every young man and woman aSSoci-
ated with farm life should have def
mite and clear knowledge and train
ing. In their discussion the subjects
are treated in such manner as to
make the information obtained most
helpful to the student.

She is always well groomed, neat, and

This is the woman who caused such
q stir in the United States Senate about
ten days ago, for she il was who gave
information to Senator Morgan that
led him to make the assertion that At

been instrumental in having the United
States Government negotiate with the
government of Santo Domingo, Crom-
wells alleged reason for his action be-
ing that he desired to cripple a plan
the Readers. husband and wife, had for
relieving the financial enbarrassments
of that republic.

Morgan's Part.

AS a result of all this came Senator
Morgan's declaration Of Cromwell's part
in the matter, the inference being that
Cromwell wished to help other people
than the Readers, whose confidential ad-
wiser he had been, according TO their
statement Now, however, Cromwell de-
MES that he ever had anything to do
with them in any way.
But. as Mrs Reader says, the Santo
Domingo episode IS only one event In
her life. And here is short story of
that life.
Ella Rawls was born in the little town
of Marion, Alabama, but, in her girl
hood, went to Birmingham. Ala. There
she presided over 4 soda fountain and
handed out refreshing drinks to the Gus
toners of the drug store In which she
worked. Birmingham was growing
town, but Miss Rawls' desire to get into
business made her outgrow the town.
Apparently, all she got from the place
was a desire to do bigger things.
