ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Are you satisfied, perfectly content
ed with your present lot? If so, accept
my congratulations and let it go at
that; you are not the man ! want to
talk to. It's the fellow who thinks he
ought to be getting on better than
he-is, the man who wants to change
climates, the man who wants to quit
the farm and go to town, the man who
wants to leave the town and get to the
country, the man who wants to trade
his high priced farm for cheap land,
his small farm for a large one and pay
the difference, his big farm for a small
err one and get out from under some
debt; he's the fellow I want to talk
to. I want to tell him how and why
we can get him what he wants and
charge him no more commission than
any local firm would charge him. It's
through the Interstate Investors as
sociation. This Association is made up
OF about thousand members through
out the states of the South, Southwest
West, Northwest and through Canada.
Each member has been admitted upon
a recommendation from his local banks
for trustworthiness. An interchange
of business through this large asso-
cation, multiplies several hundred
times your chaces for getting what you
want, no matter where you want to
go, no matter where you may own
property, no matter what sort of a
trade you want to make, write us, We
will take 1t up and try to get you re,
suits. Low rate excursions hrst and
third Tuesdays every month.

Sell at Satisfactory Prices.

Chicago, July 2s.--values have I'M
dergone little change and the tone of
trade continues same as has been not
ed earlier in the week, all good to
choice horses of the heavier class sell
ing readily at the prices lately quoted
while all palmer offerings require long
peddling to find outlet at the prices
quoted. Eastern trade is not In salts
factory condition and the buyers here
who depend on that region as an out
let for their purchases are going slow
ly, there being no urgency in demand
for any class from that quarter.
Arrivals, while rather moderate yes
terday--hardly more than 100 head
Ianding--show a big total for this time
of year--for four days, 1903 head
showing up, against 1929 same time
last week and 933 head one year ago.
The movement on the whole thus far
this week has been too heavy for a
midsummer period and the palmer of
ferings have required much hard work

YOUNG ITALIAN GIRL MARRIED.
A QUESTION ANSWERED.

Tho world is such n CHEEKY place
II we but see 1t so;
There's beauty everywhere we step
To set the heart aglow.
The air is full OF rhythmic joy.
The blue sky throbs with love.
And every leaf and flower and bird
BY pure delight in life is stirred
Its ecstasy to prove.
The world is such a sorry place
If we but sec 1t so;
There's sadness in the skies above
And on the earth below.
The children weep. the birds are mute.
The flowers droop and die;
All sound arc tuned in minor key,
All sights but picture misery;
We wonder wonder why.
How can We solve the problcm--wc
Who fain the truth would know?
How can earth he SO beautiful,
And how so full of woe?
o human heart give answer. for
In thee that answer lies;
Ills not for birds. or flowers. or air
TO make life either dull or fair
Or prove its mysteries.
Life's radiance from within must chine,
Its harmony express
The aspirations of the soul,
The power to cheer and bless.
'Tis love. love only. in the air..
The sky. tho birds, the flowers,
That glorifcs the common life.
That triumphs over care and strife
In this sweet world Of ours
