Editors Queer Ordeal.

The editor of the Hardman
Free Press says: I'VE fell asleep
in a chair at Grand Junction
Wednesday night on our way
home from Memphis, in our
usual soaked condition and let
our train leave us.
The hotel clerk told US to go
up stairs and take the room on
the right side of the hall with
the lamp burning low
He said he was crowded and
we would have to double up with
a man. We went up, pulled off
our things and went to bed with
out waking our bedfelloW, who
was sleeping sound with sheet
over his head to keep the mus
keeters off. Before we fell into
the arms of morphine we seen a
young lady and a young gent
come in and sit down by the
winder.
AT first they talked so low we
could not hear what they sed-
Finally we heard the little miss
say: Willie, Amt you ashamed
to try to kiss me right here
where we air setting up with a
dead person." We felt cureous.
We slowly reached over and
touched the nose of the man we
wuz in bed with and seen at a
glance that he was dead all
right. We riz up instantly, and
it was a race to a finish twixt us
three for the bottom of the steps.
1t is useless to state that we was
furst past the post by about two
lengths. We didn't skeer the
couple any worse than that
couple Skeered US.
I'VE walked through the coun-
try to Bolivar and wired for our
clothes by express.

The Home Paper.

The papers of the large cities
are all right if you want them,
but it is your home paper that
-advertises your churches, your
societies, sympathizes with you
in your Affections and rejoices
with you in prosperity. In fact
it is the local paper that men
tions the thousand and one items
in which you are interested dur
ing the year, and do not find in
papers of large cities.

1t is only few years ago that
the alfalfa meal project was ridi-
culed by large part of the farm
and live stock press. The idea
of hayfeeding hogs and making
a condensed commercial stock
food product of alfalfa were
chimer as resorted to by land
boomers whose prime object was
to get rid of the land and get
the money. Go back east and
tell the folks that hogs would
eat dry alfalfa and you would be
looked upon as a candidate for
the lunatic asylum Tell them
about grinding alfalfa hay up in
to meal and they would laugh at
you. Yet both of these have
come to pass, they are part and
parcel of the agricultural devel
opment of the great plains be
tween the Missouri river and the
4 Rocky mountain. 1t may safely
be said that up to the present
time no other one product has
been as big factor in making a
thrifty farming country of West

B. p Walker, of the Osborne

nois. He writes: 1T is funny
the idea some eastern people
still have of Kansas. On train
the other day I fell into CONVEX
sation with Yankee. He asked
me where I was from and l
promptly told him Kansas"
He looked at me curiously for a
moment and then asked: Have
they found any way to get rid of
the grasshoppers out there YETI"
Certainly replied I. How did
they do it?" he asked Easy
enough. We domesticated them.
We now train them to pull our
plows, feed our threshing ma
chimes, pick the ticks off cattle,
and a thousand and one other
things. Then we have crossed
them with our hay fever and
have produced an advanced class
of grass widows" by gosh, "

Kansas City Market Report.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Oct.
18th. 1907.
The supply of cattle this week
is heavy, $4,000 here yesterday
and p, 900 today, including 5000
calves in the two days. A big
run was expected, and while
grass westerns are selling 10
lower today than close of last
week, fed steers and she stuff
are about steady, and the pres
ence of a big line of buyers from
the country in attendance on the
American Rpyal Show, enables
statesmen to dispose of stockers
and feeders at steady prices, and
in some cases secure a slight adj
vance over closing figures last
week. The talk of reduction
of feeding operations in the coun-
try because of the advancing
price of corn seems to have little
foundation, Judging from the
way the movement to the coun
try from this market keeps up,
as shipments for that trade this
fall have been much heavier
than in any recent year. Sup
plies from the range will keep
coming for another month or
more yet, account of slowness of
railroads in furnishing cars, the
Colorado movement having just
fairly begun. Fed steers are
selling today at $500 to $685.
although there will likely be
sales of show cattle this week at
500 or better. Grass westerns
range from 1913 to $3.50, cows
$2.65 to $500, heifers $500 to
$4. so, bulls s.. so to 1918, calves
So. so to $3.50, stockers $500 to
81. so, feeders $3.50 to $4.75,
with few feshy steers around
$500.
The hog market made a net
gain of 20 cents last week, but
started a backward movement
late in the week, which has kept
up this week, the market off ) to
Is cents today, greatest decline
on light weights. Heavy hogs
are fast gaining in their position
as to leadership in price, medium
weight hogs selling up to lights
today and heavy weights only 5
to 10 cents under them Run is
$1,000 today. top S637 IL, bulk
of sales $6.15 to $3.50. A good
shipping demand helped the
market last week, but car short
age has crippled this trade this
week
Sheep and lambs are in moder-
ate supply, and the market has
been strong since the big run
first of last week. Supply is
5000 today, with a good percent
age of stock kinds available. and
any reasonable order for this
class can be filed promptly at
this time. Fat lambs are worth
1878 to 81 So, wethers and year
lings $500 to $3.50, ewes S4.75 to
1928, feeding lambs S5.85 to
Sc. 60, feeding wethers and year
lings S4-75 to $5-35, breeding
ewes S4.75 to So 80.

an otherwise unworn waist giving out
under the arms. The constant rubbing
of the arm against the bust causes the
material to break here. when no other
place has shown wear. Particularly is
this so with silk, although the wash
goods show wear first here: and a
waist with fitted lining Is as quick to
go as the unlined one. The time to
remedy the trouble is before the waist
Is worn at all, and in the making the
patch in time" comes in play. When
the material is cut, make the under
arm portion double, and stitch in with
the seam in the usual way, then when
the waist begins to wear, and tiny
holes first make their showing, the
goods may be darned or whipped down
to the underpiece, thus making the
neatest kind of a mend, and one seldom
noticed. .... -..
Even with the thin wash shirtwaist
this plan may be followed. Here,
however, there Is no under arm por-
ton, but a piece may be cut and placed
along the single under arm seams in
the same way. This piece should be
large enough to reach under the point
Of wear, and the belt, sleeve and under

edge may be simply overcast.

AN OLD YACHTS HAPPY FATE
The Pilgrim, Once Aspirant for Cup
Honors, Given to Children.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post
or all the boats that have been built to
compete for the Americas cup, the blue
ribbon OF the seas, none has come to a
finer end than the Pilgrim, which was
built by Boston yachtsmen 10 compete for
the honor of defending the old mug
against Lord Dunraven's Valkyrie III in
1893
The old America still floats, although out
of commission. The latest queen of the
seas, Reliance, is hauled out at City ISL
and, N. Y, probably to rot away from dis
use. And down through the years from
1851 to 1907, many fleet yachts have had
their names included in the yachting roll
of honor and disappeared-challenge and
defenders alike. Some have been sunk in
races or lost at sea. Some have Totted
away. Some have lost their glory and be-
come coasters. Some are still afioat as
private yachts. But the Pilgrim gets the
most honored end of all.
For the Pilgrim Is to be part OF Boston's
Coating hospital service. The boat that
bore Boston's hopes for Watching honors
In 1898 will not help one of Boston's worth
lest charities.
The Pilgrim is a steam yacht. A failure
as "a sailing racer, she was converted into
steamer after her defeat in the trial
races which the Vigilant won, sand was
owned by J.. G.. Burnham, of Boston. Mr..
Burnha.n died short time ago, and Mrs.
Burnham has given the yacht to the Float
~ hospital as memorial to MIR. Burn
ham.
The Pilgrim VIII be used to tow the hos
p!tal hoat on it's harbor trips. A consid-
trable sum has been expended every year
for towboats Most Of this money can now
be saved ana devoted to the comfort OF
the little ones on their trips during the
summer. ... ..'

CHAPTER Nv.
BIMETALLISM

1t was late in the evening when Pat
rick Cambel again found himself en-
tete-a-tete with his host. There had
been people in to dinner at the house in
Park lane but these had gone. and Mrs.
Shelf and Amy Rivers followed them
to parties elsewhere. Mrs Shelf had
wished to carry Cambel also in her
train, but that person stayed behind
by request which he could not very
well refuse. You will favor me very
much by remaining here for the rest
Of the evening, Mr.. Cambel," Shelf had
said in his pompous way. "I have mat
ters of the greatest moment l wish to
discuss with you" "au. .... IL
II hardly know how to begin," Shelf
confessed uneasily when they were
alone. ..h....
'Tben let me make a suggestion"
said Cambel, with laugh. Come to
the point at once. Let's have the plot
without any Introductory chapters.
You've told me you've got a scheme on
hand for turning my discovery into
currency and you've rather fhnted it's
dirty scheme. The only question Is
how dirty. Thanks to pressure Of cir
cumstances, I'm not an overparticular
person. But on points I'm very
squeamish, or, in other words, l draw
the line somewhere. Unless I'm very
vastly mistaken, your plan will involve
one in downright knavery, which is a
thing all sensible men avoid II possi-
BILE. Now, in my ignorance / fancied
the find might be turned to account
without climbing down to that"
oh" said Shelf eagerly, then you
had a scheme in your head before you
came to me?" ..-..
The other shrugged his shoulders and
lit a cigar. r...... .r.... t.. g.
Just a dim outline-nothing more
You see the interior OF the Everglades
is absolutely untouched by the white
mans weapons. 1t was vaguely sup
posed to be one vast lake, with oases
of slime and mangroves. The lake was
reported as too shallow for boats and
abounding with fevers, agues and mos
quitoes. Consequently II remained un-
explored. and on the end OF the Florida
peninsula today no white man. barring
myself and one or two others. has ever
got farther than five or eight miles in
from the coast.
"Now, as I've told you was lucky
enough to hit upon fine deep ship
channel going in .as far as sr- nAntar
