Rabsas City. November Z, l0oG
 The cattle fun was m0dtfale fhis week aud fie marked is close ing the week Gfm X great many Colorado and soutlwestefn cattle were included in Che supply of 10000 head One of the featercs of the Colorado business here tls week was the sale of tG car loads. 37b head, of Baer Brothers steers, ll4b at Sl20, straight, without a single animal cut out. Other Go. lorado steers have sold to killers lat S3.G0. to $425, one head at $500, cows $2G0 to S335, feeders S365 to S410, stockers $3.4O to x3S5. Southwestern stuff has sold good all week, stockers and feeders at $3.00 to $400, cows $40 to $300, steer calves $350 to $4.50, heifer calves $3.25 to 375. Five loads of calves from Memphis, Tenn, sold today, the steers at $4.50, heiiers $3.70, weighing 375 All around the market is as strong as 1t has been any time this fall, and anything carrying any quality at all is quickly sold. Great com plaint is still heard of car shortage, which will no doubt continue till the end of the season. Many cattle have been sold in the country on account of this condition, but ship pers who could get here have been we'll pleased. Moderate supplies are inevitable balance of the seas on, and the market will continue good no doubt.
 Sheep and lambs are 15 to 25 cents higher than a week ago. Range stuff is getting scarce, and anything good sells high. Utah and Colorado lambs have sold at $700 to $7.40 this week, choice natives $7.60, Arizona lambs $6 75, and $6.S5, Utah and Colorado wethers $5.25 to $5.60, including a string today at $5.50, fat ewes $5l5 to $5 35, yearllngs 5000 Feeding stock is generally common quality now, lambs around $500 breeding ewes and feeding stock $4.00 to $500, although an exceptional sale today was two doubles of New Mexico breeding ewes at $550 weighing Fl. The situation ap pears strong and durable.

Mr.. e. r. Long brought us a
melon this week. which was raised
on his plantation by his young
son. Mr.. Long said II will not
contest the size of my melon with
that of Mr.. Morrow, but in flavor
and sweetness claim that there
is nothing superior to my melon
And Mr.. Long is right. There is
nothing better grown anywhere.
Now. why should we be getting
melon by the carloads when we
can raise such fine melon as did
Messrs. Morrow and Long, it is all
due to the quality of the seed and
intelligent cultivation. If our
farmers would give more attention
to this crop and cultivate it for
the local market they would soon
find out that 1t is a paying crop.
Melons like those raised by
Messrs. Morrow and Long will al
ways find ready market at the
highest price, the best goods al
ways command the highest prices.
The ordinary melons we buy here,
we get one good one out of a do
sen. and under such condition they
are very high and of poor quail

somehow other suggests the languor of a
Southern cline. You would think the person
crazy who would put this into words for you,
but nevertheless it is there in your mind sub
consciously; and as the chances ire that nobody
will put it into words for you, her charm will
remain mystery to you for all time.
Perhaps it is trick she has of throwing back
her head when she laughs-a habit which plainly
reveals her sunny, good tempered. hearty nature.
But you are not able TO analyze it in this way,
because you don't realize that il is her laugh
that makes her so fascinating
II she is Frenchwoman, she probably has an
expressive way Of shrugging her shoulders which
is really whole language in itself. She often
won't need to reply to you in words at all; the
shrug will say all that is necessary.
She will also probably have habit Of looking
at you over one shoulder and of carelessly shrug.
gng that shoulder in a way which says, cit
doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to
me- when really a matter of fact it does
make all the difference in the world. French
woman's coquetry is the most Fascinating thing
imaginable. She prevarcate with her shoul-
ders just as easily she can with her lips, and
she can also be most exquistely polite with
them. She can insinuate all sorts of things with
them, and these things generally of com
pimentary nature But one cannot help feeling
that her politeness is all on the surface.
EXQUIsITELY FEMININE.
The English woman is sweet and lovabe, but
a rule, she is not fascinating. You feel that
you can trust her; you know that her courtesy
is Of the heart, but she does not draw you against
your will. You like her because you want to-,
and you do not seek her society because you have
to. She may have little mannerisms of her own
but they are gentle and exquisitely feminine
rather than fascinating.
What constitutes the charm of the American
woman is her splendid independence She is
not so fond of her home as the English woman
is, nor does she look upon marriage as an escape

riel on her dignity because she is not allowed
to sit in the bow, weighing as she does 160
pounds Nor is it pleasant to find that Harry
and Muriel expect to be exempt from the un-
packing and washing up, that they appropriate
the hammock as their lawful property.
OF course, there are EXCEPTIONS, but the aver
age engaged couple is by no means remarkable
for unselfishness Looked at from one point of
view such a state of things is altogether deplor-
able. Looked at from another-a more sensible
point of view such state of things is even de-
sirable. For what and maid in love ever
saw the rest of the world except altogether out
of proportion compared with the loved one, and
who, excepting the most carping critic, would
wish things to be otherwise?

class-a class that in the oden times was quite
ignorant.
In these days, however, everybody, more OF
less, has a smattering Of education, and conse
quently the woman who takes the opportunity oi
improving her mind has greater chance of be-
ing fascinating than the woman who does not
do so.
One mind unconscously influences another
and therefore mental attractiveness is more com.
pelling and holding than mere physical beauty
Mental attractiveness moreover, increases
woman grows older, and mere physical beauty
does not.
We have all Of us met the woman who is more
attractive than her daughter, and many of us
are acquainted with some wrnkled old lady who
is much more fascinating than any other woman
we know,
Maturity increases a woman's power to charm
not only because her mind has expanded and de-
veloped with the years, but also because a grow
ing experience has taught her the extent of her
powers, and in addition the knowledge of when,
where and how to use them to the greatest ad.
vantage. What would have been selfconscious-
ness in young girl is, in the hands of an older
woman, very dangerous weapon.
The fascinating woman may be generally liked,
but the chances that she will not be. Other
women are suspicious of her, and men are afraid
OF her. Her power is too great to inspire trust,
and most people try to keep away from her, but
their efforts are seldom successful.
They try to explain her power with lot Of
names that are as battling as she is They call
it mesmerism, hypnotism or perhaps, if they
are inclined to go as far as Marie Corelli, they
will say that it is the electricity around her body
which attracts people so irresistbly.
As a matter of fact, there is nothing at all
about her which savors in the remotest way of
the occult. She is perfectly healthy, normal
being. with.a personality that is little stronger
than her neighoor's but otherwise she is con-
stituted just the same as the rest of us are.
Fascination depends upon personality, and
upon personality alone.

ing of the Fourth, and, of course, I'm specially
mad all through July. The mere name of the
month reminds me that can't get over it. Talk
about human sacrifices and those misguided Jews
spoken of by the prophets who made their child
rem go through the fire in honor of Moloch.
I'd like to know if they were any worse than the
enlightened Christian parents who turn their
boys loose with toy pistols and fill up the hos
pitfalls with silly little victims who don't know
any betterl
And look at the poor invalids all over the
country-'butchered to make Roman holiday
I'd as lief be butchered to get conclusion of
the brain at least nervous evaporation as
our wash lady calls it, from senseless orgy of
noise. All useless noises ought to be made unlaw-
full, / say. To be sure, we'd have the air blue
with controversy then, as to which noises were
useless and which were not. But 1 suppose that
even the misguided parents who bestow toy pis-
tolls on their more or less valuable offspring
would acknowledge that the noise they make is
useless. But they keep right on, because every
body does it I've even heard them talk of
patriotism in that connection, and 1 call it down
right blasphemy. Makes my heart bleed for my
country. How do parents expect the next gen.
Grafton to have any sense if they don't hand
down any? I'll give you my opinion of parents
day. Grumble, do it? Never you mind,
as long as I don't grumble over my own lot and
my personal grievances. When 1 get down to

from bondage, as the French woman does She
is free almost from the hour Of her birth
She does not diffuse an air of mystery about
her as the Spanish woman does, but is quite
frank and open in her intercourse with you.
She chums with men upon footing Of easy in
tmacy that is quite shocking to her sisters across
the water, and she disdans the chaperonC as an
institution that has long since become barbarian.
The American girl is fascinating because she
has the courage Of her convictions. Everybody
knows that beauty is not at all necessary to
make woman charming. A pair Of big blue
eyes and soft conf lexion may catch the atten.
ton, but without something deeper they will
never be able to hold it. Beauty is only skin
deep while fascination lies several layers be-
meath the surface
All of remember wondering, at some time
or other, what of our acquaintance saw in
an ugly woman. We perhaps, knew her only
by sight or at the most superfcially, and we
never could understand why he so completely

we should have found all sorts of excuses for
him.

ugly woman, alienated himself irTevocably from
his family and later, when he found that she
was untrue to him, he committed suicide.
This woman was not pretty she had no figure,
and she had absolutely not the slightest concep.

was able to make sane men lose their heads for
