THE sUNDowNER.
Bhrewd Traders Pick Up Bargains I'm
the Cow Market.

| To the average visitor at the well
known stockyards In Brighton, Mass,
the chief object of interest Is the large
stock barn. The large rows of stalls
provide Accommodations for hundreds
of cattle and the room is about all
needed during the busy seasons of the
year. On Tuesday and Wednesday or
zach week this barn Is the scene OF
great activity, says American Cultiya-
! tor. The cattle arrive by train from all
parts Of New England and New York
state They are brought in mostly by
| traders who make a business of buying
| from farmers or at auctions and sell
in Brighton. Any one, however, is al
lowed to use the barn and sell his own
cattle If he wishes to do so. Some who
| live near by drive in their own cows
and sell them direct, thus saving the
middleman's profit, although their own
lack of trading experience may often
Offset the apparent gain.
No dealer likes to carry over COWS
/ from week to week The rent of the
stalls is for the market days only and
includes feed for that period, and also
the COW, If kept over, is a week further
along in milking.
This consideration is the cause and
| encouragement of the "sundowner."
The term is applied to the shrewd trad
| ers who stay away while buying is ac-
! tive and appear at the last moment and
pick up bargains just as dealers are be-
ginning to Tear they must keep over
Some of their cows. The 'sundowner"
drops in late Wednesday afternoon and
often buys cows at low prices. He is
usually country resident and trader
and takes his purchases out home to
sell them at a profit. The cows left
over TO the last are not the most de-
sirable as rule. Once in awhile at a
dull market a few good COWS will be
left over to the last, and then real bar
gains are TO be found.

had some trick or scheme. Such as
sumption was not true. There is no
evidence to indicate that you had any
grounds to believe such Imagination.
1t was certainly plain there was no
plan on the part of the Perkins men.
You remember that some of the town
ships gave up their credentials before
they were fully aware of what your
crowd was dealing out to them. AS
soon as they found out what was going
on they demanded back their creden-
tials. They were denied them. A fur
ther fact in connection with this that
no Perkins man was recognized, al
though number of them asked recog-
milton. l saw Viola township man

same with Greeley. Was there any
recognition? None whatever The
Cummins chairman was so far sighted
that day that he could see Cummins
man in the rear of the court house, but
he could not see Perkins man about
six feet away.
l submit to any one who was in at
tendance at the convention that the
actions of the Perkins men was that of
men who acted fair and honorable.
They controlled themselves, bore pa
tiently the methods of the Cummins
Wing. There was no confusion, not
even an interruption upon their part to
your rough shod deal.
AS to the calling of the convention to
order, Mr.. BRENNAN was the rightful
man to call the convention to order
and name the temporary chairman.
This right which he expected to exer-
else was his by precedent and establish
ed custom. You admit that ssordinar-
lily" it was his right. This was an ex-
traordinary case, therefore your reason
ing is that the end to be accomplished
justified the means you used. Was
there any necessity to call to order on
the dot? Certainly not. Mr.. Breni-

rlr. BRENNAN Replies to
the VanGOrder Article

In last weeks issue of the Audubon
Republican and Extra Journal Charles
Van Gorder addressed letter to the
republican voters of Audubon county in
which he undertakes to place the blame
upon everything 4Anti-C Cummins for the
present condition of politics in this
county. In his devotion to the cause
of tariff ripping and laundering meth
DDS in the recent convention, Mr. Van
Gorder apparently can see no reason
why the Perkins delegates from Doug
las, Cameron, Viola, Greeley, Audu-
bon, Oakfield and part of Melville and
Hamlin townships should have been
recognized.
The people of Audubon county do
not desire to know my personal opin-
ion of the merits of the conventions
recently held in Scott, Carroll or any
other county any more than they wish
to know Mr.. Van Gorder's opinion and
will not refer to the newspaper gossip
on that subject as did Mr.. Van Gorder.
1t was no doubt the intention of the
Van Gorder letter to convey the idea
that proposition was made to Mr..
Elliott and myself after the primaries
to divide the delegation to the state
convention for the sake of avoiding
strife in the party. This was reasons
able conclusion as many have asked
me since his letter appeared if it was
true that such proposition was made.

a proposition was made. The facts
about dividing the delegation We're

agement. This statement can be ver-

The only object of the Perkins dele

The following essay on the fly was
read in school recently by bright
little urchin.
The fly is an insect. 1t is sharp
little creature. The fly has six legs
so as it can climb on the windows.
We haven't six feet, we can't sleep
on the ceiling like the fly. The fly
has two eyes full of little eyes. tits
hard to catch because it can see
east and west and both sides. Flies
can't eat anything hard. The fly
has no teeth and no nose. 1t breaths
out of its sides. A fly carries its
hair brushes in its trunk so to brush
its hair when it gets all must up.
We can learn quite few things
from little fly. We can learn to
brush our hair and face when it gets
dirty and keep ourselves clean.
There are horse flies too but never
saw mule fiy.-Ex.
