Special TO the Deming GFupAie.
Stock Yards, Kansas City, Mo-.
Wednesday, March 18th, 1906 Re-
presentation from distant points has been
small IN the cattle yards for the last
week. Cattle Of this description have
advanced Is to Is cents since a week
ago. particularly StOekers aud feeders.
Total receipts last week we're 3S. .OOO
the smallest Of any week this year. but
also containing the largest share of beef
steers of any week before this winter.
The supply to-day is 10000 head, an6
contains more country grades than
usual lately, market steady on killing
steers' strong on butcher stuff and
stockers and feeders. Ashipment from
Saguache sold at sensational price
last week, 1927 ID feeders at $3.50, and
$50 ID stockers at s4.6O. Idaho stockers
sold at A.30, and other range stockers
and feeders at $3.50 to $40. Stock
cattle are going to meet sharp compe-
tition for the next few weeks, as the
demand will be keen, account of the
nearness Of spring, while the supply
will be small for the same reason.
Sheep and lambs shaded downwans
last week, more in sympathy with
lowerprices at other points than account
of heavy run here, as the total supply
was 81 900 head, a reduction of 1000
from previous week.

Fell From His Horse.

nr. Wesleley met with an accident
Tuesday that will prevent him from
meeting Fitzsimmons in the fstic arena
for several days. He found one Of his
cows "bogged" in the river several
miles from home, and in his attempt to
release her he fell, dislocating his shou-
der. He attempted to remedy the dis.
location by his own efforts, but failed
and came to town, placed himself in DR..
Moir's care who soon put him together
in proper shape, so that he returned
home the same evening. He has a
"tender spot" just now, but his recov-
cry is only question of time.

KIDS.

| wonder why some Pas have none,
And others have so many.
1t seems the poor Pas have the most,
And ricn ones haven't any.
The richest man | know in town
Has just one small boy only;
But Pa says, Gadl he pities him
In that big house 20 lonely.
1t seems to me 'twould be so nice
If kids all come out even;
And when | ask Pa why they don't,
He said, "Be quiet, Stephen!"
Then families aid have bills like Pa,
For us Ave kids together,
He says, would bust a cattle man,
We wear out SO much leather.
But when the circus comes to town
Pas glad he has 30 many,
For he has more fun takin' US
Than II he hadn't any.

The National AARazine.

Gotham in Golden Chains" is the
title of remarkable article by John
Coulter in the National Magazine for
April. He shows how the Ryan Bel
mont-Rothschild- Morgan gang has got
New York City by the throat, and out
lines its plan to float a street-railway
combine with capital-mostly water
second in size to that of the United
States Steel Company.
The same magazine contains three
striking character studies of famous
men; joaquin Miller at the heights, &"
a beautifully poetic essay by Charles
Warren Stoddard; Fighting Joe
Wheeler" by W. +, Melton, and "a
Day With Marquise Ito, :" the foremost
statesman of Asia, by Yone Noguchi.

Nan not Heartless.

A mans heart is in his stomach.
Good chuck will catch him every time.
Right after dinner is the time for the
book agent to get in her work or for
the sucker hunter to sell him a mold
brick. He ought to be thinking about
higher and nobler things than good
roast beef, ought to be considering
Deming's highest moral good, but it is
a sad fact t,lat if he has to choose
between the considerable Of the high
ideal'business, and savory, well cook
ed roast he will let the high ideal wait
in the ante-room and 30 after theroast.
Bad cooking furnishes divorce cases
for the courts and adds materially to
the sum total Of domestic misery.
Good cooking, on the other hand, adds
to the sum Of human happiness. Not
only that; it makes for peace and right
eousness. A man is in no condition for
high purposes when his stomach is out
of order and he has dark maroon taste
in his month. 1t is mighty hard for a
person who has a chronic case of bill
BUSINESS to be meek and consistent
christian.

The long distance telephone line TO
the Mimbres Hot Springs is completed,
and Deming connections are made with
Haywood Hot Springs, with Dwyer and
Swartz, and with the homes of all the
principal ranchmen and fruit growers
along the route. The distance from
Deming to the present termination of
the line is forty-three miles; highest al
titude over which the line passes, 6,5OO
feet.
In completing the mountain portion
OF this line, Supt. JefTers and his help
ers had an experience" Many Of the
holes for the posts had to be dug with
drills and giant powder, and the poles
pulled by man power up the sides Of
mountains that a goat couldn't climb,
which work was doubly difficult on ac-
count Of both rain and snow.
Camp life has its pleasure under GER
tain conditions and at the proper sea
son of the year; but in the winter, at
six thousand feet altitude, camping out
has its drawbacks, but it didn't draw
back Mr.. Jeffers and his party until the
last pole was set and the last connec-
tion made with the central office. The
convenience and the great advantages
of the new line are already appreciated
by the residents Of the Mimbres valley,
who don't see" how they have lived
so long without the telephone.

he smiled with cheerful anticipation of the i'm
mediate flight of all bodily ailments
1T certainly ought to do me lot OF good, -
he soliloquzed. "What we mortals need is some
thing that will make our pores attend strictly
to business I'll bet Martha will find me fresh
er and brighter tonight than l have been for a
year"
| Then he lighted it up, disrobed, fastened him
self in the cabinet and waited. 1t was rather
slower in setting about the work TO be done than
he had anticipated, but the sensations were pleas
urable, and he only regretted that he had not
been thoughtful enough to lay paper on the
top of the cabinet that he could pass the time
by reading. But that minor matter The
main thing was that he being brought back
to condition of perfect health. He could act
ually feel the change but il came in spots Some
parts OF his anatomy were being reiuvenated
more rapidly than others. This set him to won
dering whether the thing were working right,
and he began TO worry. It was ANNOYING to have
blaze that he could not see in such close prox-
unity to him; it might set something afre and
scorch him before he could release himself
This thing is bound to make man perspire

doesn't do it, the anxiety will Ny head, which
is outside, is perspiring worse than the rest oi
me that's inside"
Then fly settled on the tip of his nose He
shook it off and it settled on his forehead. He
shook it off again, and it went back to his nose
after which it tried to locate on one ear.
'fId give a million dollars he exclaimed, "for
just swat at that fly"
But the fly was forgotten when he heard a
step in the hall.
"Great Scott! wonder if I locked that
door," he muttered anxiousy.
The answer came almost Immediately, for the
door slowly opened and a strange man looked in
He hastily lodged back when he saw the room
was occupied, but almost instantly looked il
again and surveyed with some curiosity what wal
visible of the astonished occupant. The latter
first impulse was to jump up, but he realized hi
utter helplessness, and also the danger of an!

perature of over two hundred and still rising
"Let 'er rise" returned the stranger. IF you
could only yourself, you'd think it was funny
enough to be worth all it hurts. But l amt
gon' to be long"
With that he got up and made a quick survey
of the room.
"Books!" he said scornfuy "Dont want 'em.
Don't bring no sort of price, an they're hard to
carry. Pipes!" he added, as his eyes rested on
the desk. Now that's more like. I been lookin'
for good pipe Here he put fine meerschaum
in his pocket, and then took possession of some
solid silver desk ornaments. Don't seem to be
much else but the clothes" he went on.
There's a little money in the vest pocket, -
Silas suggested plaintivey. Freedom at the cost
of the cash to be found in his pockets would be
cheaply bought, for he was sure that he was los
ing an ounce minute.
"Sure," answered the stranger, as he proceeded
to roll the clothes up and tie them with a string,
"an a watch too; but 1 go through the
clothes Wen l gets away"
Silas nearly upset the cabinet in his excite
ment
you're not going to take the clothes!" he
cried
"W'y not?" retorted the thief. II need EN-
"But think of mel" he pleaded. "I'll have to
go upstairs like this to get any more"
Stand upl" commanded the thief.
Silas dared not disobey. With great caution
he stood up. and the thief put out the blaze be-
meath the chair. Then he stood off and looked
at his victim critically
Them there box coats amt wot they're crack
ed up to be-" he said "This one you're a-wearin'

The thief picked up the bundle of clothes and
opened the study door.
Don't holler" he cautioned you'd scare
them girls to death if they come on you sudden
You amt bit pretty in that rig
This quite true. There is nothing attrac
tive about box standing on two human legs and
surmounted by human head and Silas was un-
certain to what move he ought to make. He
unfastened the cabinet sufficiently to get rid OF
the chair the moment the thief had disappeared
and then fastened it up again 1t was the only
covering he had, and would have to serve him
until he could get upstairs to his room. He was
just preparing to make run for it, cabinet and
all, when the outer door opened, and his wife
entered, accompanied by two ladies.
81 believe that man thief" she was say
ing exctedly. did you notice how he scurried
away? ! must see if anything is missing"
Silas had Just time to turn the key IN the
study door when she tried it.
Locked" she exclaimed. "Who's in there"
''It's I-Sas' he answered.
'Let me in!" she cried. I'm sure there's been
thief in the house."
Correct" replied Silas. "He just left"
"Well why don't you come out and chase
him?" she demanded.
"Chase him!" moaned Silas, as he looked at
himself and mentally pictured the Juror he would
create rushing down the street. Il am too
busy, dear
"Too busy to catch thief" CALCULATED Mrs.
Singer. "Why, the mans crazy-something must
have happened to him. Silas Singer, why don't
you open that door,"
Sas fairly danced about the room in impotent
rage. If only those other women weren't there!
"Go away! go away" he cried at last. 81
can't be disturbed just now"
81 won't go away" retorted Mrs. Singer
'That man must have frightened you into insan-
ity. If you don't come right out and go after
him, I'll get ak and break the door down

ooh, my names Bin Tom or Reddy or most

"a sneakthef!'' CALCULATED Silas.
Don't you git to calm no Names retoTted
the stranger, cause man wot calls names has
got to back it up, an you amt in no shape to
back up nothin'. I could paste you one easy"
The perspiration coming faster than Silas
desired. The mental strain of trying to decide
what he could do was of great assistance to the
vapor in producing results.
"Have you taken anything yet?' he asked.

friendliness. II got into this room first, cause
it was close to the door"
"Well, if you will go out without touching any
thing, I'll let you go and say nothing about it.

indication Of intention to depart
"1f you don't" persisted Silas, "I'n call for
help
The stranger coolly closed the door and sat
down chair in front of the bathcabinet

easily. "I fought the two girls was all, an
that wouldn't worry me, an it don't worry me
No surething gent would want the fe-
male servants to see him cavortn round in a
short-skirt drygoods box, like you'd be if you
stood up. They'd be worse scared of you than
they would of me; an besides, if you make a
whimper, III paste you alongside the ear
an put you in a tange that'll be nothin' short
of dsgraceful. No, sir, nix, not; you amt in
the shape to make holler-not unless you're
lookin' for somethin scand'lou d"
Sas realized that the man spoke the truth:
and that did not make his predicament any the
more pleasant. Irrespective of the presence Of
the thief, the vapor-bath had continued as long
as he desired. He felt that he was melting away,
and he wanted relief.
For Heavens sake, get out and let me get out
of this anyway he pleaded. "I can't stand it,
nix, not" replied the stranger, that appar-
