with prices at the close strong compar-
ed with week ago. Beef stuff, espec-

few fancy cows landed at $3.50 and
several punches sold at $3.50 to So. 40
with n large number of sales ranging
from $500 to 1925. Fair to good kill
ers brought S2.75 and better and med
ium to fair stuff S2.35 to $2.70. Bulls
were In good demand and steady.

hands the market closed in fine shape.
Supply today was 300 head and
prices 10 TO Is cents higher on every
thing. The alleys were full of buyers
and by noon practically the entire Off
erIng was sold out. Buyers evidently
figure that the big run of the cattle is
about over for this year and that they
must get in the game at once If they
would ill their orders. With present
market y rices SO satisfactory and the
outlook for good market next spring
SO bright, a great many feeders who
had not intended to finish anything
this year are now filling up their lots,
and indications are that the present
strong demand for feeding cattle will
continue for several weeks. - w. n.

Sorrow and Beauty.

From Harper's Weekly.
The limited express that runs from Paris
to Geneva makes only a stop of few min
utes at the little town OF Bourg, in Savoy,
and few of the passengers get off and rum
BILE in the rickety stages over the narrow
cobblestCne streets to one OF the big roomy,
noisy inns built round their stone courts
But while Bourg itself is Ike many other
little towns wrapped in its own desuetud
dmly dreaming of a happier past, at the
end of long struggling street OF tiny
houses, where potteries and wooden shoes
are made. there stands one of the most
beautiful churches in all France. The
Church of Brou stands high in field. and
cuts the distant blue of the SaVoyard hills
with its silvery outlines.
And the building was the undertaking of
a lonely woman who tried thus to fill in the
joyment of the moment as they pass, but it
meant happiness. Marguerite of BouI bon,
newly welded to Philip of Savoy, saw her
husband in the first year of their married
life brought in from the hunt dead. In those
days doubtless. it was more difficult than
now to deaden sorrow with activity Mar

soul
Nothing about this inaccessible little
church touches one more than the thought
that in all its beauty and gay grace il was
the outgrowth of a great sorrow and loneh-
ness-one of those fugitive things used to
fill up the days of a life empty of delight
Fugitive and forced doubtless, the building
seemed to its founder. but this is the service
of sorrow that it builds a concrete beauty
in the world which shall outlive the sufferer.
The satisfied soul has enough to do with en-
joymeut of the moment they pass. but it
is the broken hearted those who seek a
refuge from themselves and from memory
who create beauty for posterity

odd foreign campagners remarked I'm the
field that no army probably ever had so
many canteens III its wake When the
army was not marching there was always a
canteen or two not far to the rear of every

established in Manchu houses.

celebrating the abstinence of the japanese
from drink. This caused concern among
the japanese officers. who disliked the en-
