Many prominent women are giving their
time to soliciting funds for the. Young
Women's Christian association building
fund as a Lenten work.. certainly a noble
way to do ones duty in Lent. It means
the sacrifice of much time and energy on
the part of the women and requires unlim-
tied patience and tact, for many are the
trying and amusing experiences talked
over at headquarters. One of the most
amusing was that which happened to two
of the most prominent workers last week.
These two women, perfectly gowned, went
into one of the laundries and on inquiring
for the proprietor, were informed that he
was not in, but would return presently.
The young man in charge of the office
asked IL he could do anything and followed
up the question by asking If they were
seeking employment. Needless to say, they
returned to headquarters with their ardor
somewhat dampened.

How Mail Order Houses Win.

A representative of one of the
largest mail order houses in Chica-
go, says the Iowa City Republican.
recently gave his experience to a
meeting of newspaper men. He said
that the mail order business depends
entirely upon advertising. He made
one remark that merchants should
heed. He says they took the local
paper and irected their special eff
forts to communities where the mer-
chants are up to date advertisers. If
he found that any line of business in
any town or city was not well ad-
vertsed, as for instance, furniture,
he said that they flooded the territory
with their literature and always with
satisfactory results. He said he be-
lleved 1t true that country merchants
could greatly cripple the mail order
houses If they would advertise free
ly and in the right manner. He said
that every advertisement should de.
scribe minutely the articles to be
sold and quote the prices. He
thought as general proposition that
advertising that does not quote prices
is thrown away or largely so. Here
is food for thought by merchants
who feel the effect of the mail order
houses.

Kansas City Markets.

Special to The Chieftain.
A good supply of Colorado and
other western cattle have been COM
ing for the last two weeks, and the
supply has been running more to
stockers and feeders than any time
before this season. Practically no
beef steers from the range were in
cluded last week. but there were
some very good COWS and the quail
ity OF the stocacrs and feeders from
the west was best OF the season and
prices the highest. The market has
been firm since the middle of last
week, with a tendency toward higher
prices, and today there is a positive
advance OF 10 10 5 cents on stock
e9s and feeders, beef grades. both
COWS and steers are strong to 10
higher. Late last week the seasons
record prices for feeders was paid,
at S4,35 and $3.50 for $50 to $50
pound Colorados, while the bulk of
the stockers and feeders sold at
$5.75 to $4.25, few low grade stock
ers at $500 to $3.50. Colorado cows
sold at $500 to $3.50 mainly, with
quite a number Of sales at So so to
$375, Gamers $2,25 to $500. Pan
handle cows sold mostly at $2.,5 to
$3.50, the best COWS >'ling at $e7s
to S3.I5, some New Nj AIco stockers
at 3.35 to $500, range bulls $225 to
$500. Several lots OF Christmas cat
tie are here today, full loads selling
at S665 and odd head up to $500.
Sheep and lamb offerings are prac-
tically all fair to good fed stuff
very few lots OF good to choice stuff
included. The market is stronger
than week ago, run 5000 today,
market strong. Buyers take the de-
sirable stuff readily at strong prices,
without regard to outside influences.
There is nothing above medium grade
here today. but lambs are quotable
at So75 to $3.50, anything desirable
at S7.25, or better, yearlings at $5.z5
to $3.50, wethcrs S. to $575, ewes
$3.50 to $5.35. Not much stock or
feeding stuff is available, but such

Help is Scarce.

a Kansas City paper says:
John Trotter of Holly, Colo, re-
ports that the scarcity of labor in
that country is working a hardship
on the beet raisers High wages
does not seem to be any inducement
to men to stay on the beet farms.
"All over that country" said Mr.
Trotter, who came in this morning
with shipment of cattle, "can be
seen fields OF beets that have not been
dug. Those who have large acre

course, as the farmers who have but
few acres can manage to handle
them alone. | raised IL tons to the
acre. Other farms make larger
yield, and some smaller, but the gen
eral average is good. Counting the
crops at flat rate of $5 per ton, it
counts up to large amount of mon

Anent Trial Marriage.

A great discussion is now raging
in the press regarding the sugges-
ton of recent novelist to permit
marriages on trial, to be terminated
at the pleasure of either party. Not
withstanding all the storm of adverse
criticism. the fact remains that this
plan is in daily practice thruout the
country by the aid of the divorce
courts, and the men and women who
practice it are taken into the bosom
of society, says Lamar Sparks.

had intended to let the north pole
lay where it had fallen, after being
broken off by the airship, until re-
turned from my Christmas journey.
But Mrs. Santa said mo, no." the
pole must be fixed up at once so
that she could tie her clothes line
to it. So there was nothing to do
but try to repair it, And this is
where ran up against another batch
of trouble Not having time to
build a derrick to raise the pole |
hung my ropes and pulleys on the
imagination. then tied one end
of the rope to the pole and htched
my team OF reindeer to the other
end. This worked alright until the
pole was half way up when the I'M
agination suddenly gave way and
down came the pole with a terrible
crash. In falling, the pole struck
our poor, pet polar bear. Patsy,
which was intently watching the
work, amidships, and the subsequent
proceedings interested her no more
This accident had the effect of caus-
ing Mrs. Santa to consent to post

and burly men, with their jenkins thrown
off, their waists braced tight. swords,
mallets, and pole-axes in their hands.
1 Their leader. Goodwin Hawtayne, stood
/ upon the poop and talked with Sir Nigel,
/ casting his eye up sometimes at the
swelling sail, and then glancing back at
the two seamen who held the tiller.
Pass the word" said Sir Nigel ''that
no man shall stand to arms or draw his

seem to be a workmanship from South

The yellow cog had now shot out from
the narrow waters of the Solent. and was
plunging and rolling on the long heave OF
the open channel. The wind blew
freshly from the east, with very keen
edge TO it; and the great sail bellied
roundly out. laying the vessel over until
the water Kissed beneath her lee bull
warks. Broad !; 1 ungainly, she f1oun-
dered from wave TO wave, dipping her
round bows deep into the blue rollers,
and sending the white fakes of foam in
a spatter over her decks. On her lar
board quarter lay the two dark galleys,
which had already hoisted sail and were
shooting out from Freshwater Bay in
swift pursuit, their double line of oars
giving them a vantage which could not
fail to bring them up with any vessel
which trusted to sails alone. High and
