The disposition of the days receipts was
as follows, each buyer purchasing the num-
hav. 80 gv1g

CArTLE-There was fair run of cattle
here for a Wednesday, liz cars being re-
ported in this morning. Tho market as a
whole was not very different from what
1t was yesterday, although any change that
may have taken place was in the direction
Of Improvement.
There was a fair run of beef steers, but
no great number of good cattle in sight.
Buyers were out in very fair season ana
the trade opened up reasonably active. AS
TO prices the general market might be
quoted as steady, but there We're instances
where sellers thought they did a little
better than they we're able to do yester-
day. Perhaps il would come the nearest
to the truth to quote the market as steady
to a little strong in spots.
Cows and heifers sold in about the same
notches as yesterday taking the market
as a whole. There was, however, some
evidence of unevenness, so much 80 that
some sellers thought that they got more
money for the best cows and had hard
work to get steady prices for some others.
Most sellers were quoting the general mar
ket as steady.
Stockers and feeders also at about yester-
days prices and there was hardly enough
change in any direction 10 admit OF diff
ferent quotations AS has been the case
so far this week the best cattle were
sought after while others were inclined
toward dullness

Pearson's Magazine.

Americans, after all, are only
moderate drinkers, compared with
those of other countries. The aver
age citizen of the United States,
counting in the women and children,
which is not fair, but serves fer the
moment as basis to figure upon, con-
sumes in the course of year liquors
which contain one and third gallons
of pure alcohol. But the FrenchmaD,
who, though formerly one of the
soberest, has become the worst drunk
ard in the world, absorbs annually
three aud one half gallons of alcohol.
The Belgian and the Swiss come next
with consumption of two and four
fifths gallons. Then follows the
Spaniard with two and third gall
Ions, the Italian with Just trifle less,
the Englishman and German with
two and tenth, and the Austro- Hun
garian with about one and three
quarter gallons. On the other hand,
the American citizen by no means
stands at the top of the list in respect
to sobriety. The Swede drinks only
one and a sixth gallons of pure alco-
hol in year. The Hollander drops
considerably below him. with one
gallon even; the relatively virtuous
Russian. Notwithstanding his much
advertised addiction to vodka, absorb
es only trifie more than six tenths of
gallon, aud, finally the Norwegian,
who occupies proud eminence as
the most abstemious man in the
world, barely exceeds modest half
gallon of the stuff in twelve months
potation. It might be added for the
sake of definiteness, that the average
person in the United States annually
drinks one and third gallons of
proof spirits, which are so per cent
alcohol, one-third of a gallon of wine
and 1914 gallons of malt liquors,
chiefly beer.

scription list, and largely for what
the enterprising merchant advertises.
Now brothers let us see that our sub.
scription is paid before the first Of
January and year in advance if we
can afford it. The MAJ or papers that
fights my battles shall have my sup
port. Another thing, the merchants
who advertise are the ones who make
it possible for us to get good local
paper; and the men or firms who are
too penurious to advertise and help sup.
port the local press have no right to
the farmers patronage. l propose
hereafter to go to good, live local
advertiser, and a man who will dc
his share in supporting the local press,
thus contributing to my support
rather than buy of man who pro
poses to take all and give nothing in
