quality of beef cattle they have,
They have no trouble in disposing
of them, as buyers in the fall are
always plentiful.

cattle here, with Daniels & Col.

former buying Walters and Will
kins' cattle while the latter has
bought Turner's, Hawes', Aruitt's,

THE ART OF GIVING.
Christmas Presents Subject De-
manding serious study.

Giving Christmas gifts Is almost a
science. 1t is certainly a study for one
who really wishes to give and not dis
tress and embarrass. No one is more
helpless than the woman who receives
an utterly useless and undesirable gift.
She Is fairly forced into falsehood and
Is obliged to express gratitude which
she does not feel.
The woman who has green parlor
and receives a blue rug, or the woman
Who has a blue dining room and re-
ceiyes set of doilles embroidered with
purple ylolets, or the woman with a
sallow complexion who Is given a dell
cate pink shawl, is actually made to
sin against truth. She feels, II she IL
of a naturally grateful and tender dis
position, that she must express thanks
which she does not feel Then, ten
chances to one, II 1t Is not struggle
for her not to pass along those useless
gifts next Christmas and fairly In
volye herself In a mesh Of deceit, she
goes about terrified lest by any I'M
foreseen chance the first giver should
discover the gift In the hands of the
second recipient
Often people are so deluged by use
less gifts that memory fails them con
corning the glvers Such mistakes are
likely to occur, and petty and absurd
but no less lasting. feuds are the con
sequence Philadelphia Press.
