change had lowered the official price Of
local ranch eggs from 32c to Sic n dozen,
but the eggs were weak at tho lower quo

Is predicted
The butter market is reported fine with
continued active demand. The butter re-
ceipts were nearly $4,000 pounds. Present
prices may be maintained, but the rains
and better pasturage will serve to in
crease the receipts materially.
Fish was more plentiful in the line Of
smaller sizes and trade was good.
The market was well supplied with

Vegetables, owing to the wet weather,
are scarcer and prices are firm.

A Saturday Night Thought.

Tired but happy" was the prompt reply
of a hard worker last Saturday evening to
the query, How are you feeling tonight
Tired but unhappy would be, alasl the
answer OF muItitudes at almost any week
end, provided they were candid. And the
Joy or sorrow rises altogether from the
source of ones WEAKNESS, If you have been
following up franticalIy some round of So
cial engagements, II you have been totally
absorbed in the nervous game of money-get
ting II you have been grinding away at
some monotonous task upon which the light
Of heaven never falls, the chances are that
you are both wearied in body and jaded in
spirit. For that kind of life involves more
or less disappointment establishment and
despair And even when it is outwardly sue
cessful there is usually secret history OF
thwarted ambitions and an unslaked inner
thirst. But who wants to escape that good,
honest tiredness that comes from invest
ing ones energies in the best things, and
which sends man to his sIumbers Saturday
night with the consciousness that though
he has not done an he would. and though he
has but partially succeeded in certain direc.
tions, he has at least worked with noble aims
in view, and has been animated constantly
by the spirit of decency and honor. The pur'
pose behind the toll is the only thing that
redeems it from drudgery and brings him to
the weeks finish happy as well as tired, and
saying to his soul as he thinks Of the week to
come,

Mother. Watch the Little Feet.

Motherl watch the little feet,
Climbing O 'er the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Rambling cellar, shed and hall;
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs;
Little feet will go astray, i,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother watch the little hand,
Picking berries by the way;
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask.
'Why to me this heavy taskf'
These same little hands may prove
Messengers of light and love.
Mother watch the little tongue
Prattling, eloquent and wild;
What is said and what is sung
BY the happy, Joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow while yet unbroken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the SaviOur's name.
Mother watch the little heart,
Beating soft and warm for you,
Wholesome lessons now impart;
Keep, oh, keep that young heart true;
Graduating every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed;
Harvest rich you then may see,
Ripening for eternity.
