The Chinese who are said to do all

cd with logic quaint and convincing
An oriental who was asked why he
backed his horse into the stall replied
that he did this in order to lead him
out.
The Chinese editors have a unique
method of rejecting manuscript which
is like pouring oil on troubled waters
compared to the rejection slips Amer
leans use, assuring the unsuccessful!
contributor that only because of
crowded columns etc. The Book
World gives the following as their more
humane form:
"Illustrious Brother of the Sun and

delight BY the bones of our ances-

countered such masterpiece. Should
we print it his majesty the emperor
would order us to take it as a criterion

Socialism in Germany.
tAprll-June Forum.)

(ApFlI--JuHe fOTuHl.)
Socialism in Germany during the
past twenty years has lived thru many
phases. 1t began distinctly as a war
of classes and its leaders preached
war as the necessary prelude to the
revolution which was to sweep away
kings and aristocrats and bring about
that social utopia which the dream of
Marx and Engels and the other fanati-
cal|~isionaries who believed in the pur-
ification of the sword. Bismarck re-
garded them as traitors to the state
and prosecuted them relentlessly. The
socialists at that time waged almost
authorities, and as the blood of mar
tyrs is the seed of the church, so Bis
marck's persecution had the sole effect
of solidifying the socialists and making
them hold aloof from contact or alli-
ance with other parliamentary groups.
Gradually they saw the folly of these
tactics. They now have become par
'liamentarians and are willing to form
alliances for the time being if by com
bination they can harass the govern
ment or advance those reforms which
they believe to be essential Believing
at first that socialism was merely a
passing whin1 of the moment and could
have neither substance nor vitality, the
German government, that is the Kaiser
and his advisers, refused to pay the
least heed to those demands for legis-
lation which was the raison d'etre of
the socialist party; but more en-
lightened policy of recent years has
brought the Kaiser to realize that some
of the things at least which socialism
demanded were in themselves good and
for the benefit of the state.

Representative Hog Sales.
Below are given few of the repre-
m 20 tive hog SalaS.
Hogs in the Country.

Chicago. May 4-Present hog values
ats Chicago do not justify buyers in
paying more than &C "a loading stations
in Illinois and Wisconsin and 1915 a
$50 in Iowa What effect this will
have on the movement remains to be
seen Curtailment is logical, especially
if the farmer is able to get busy with
corn planting next week. Packers are
now determined to keep the market
here under Size basis and country
buyers will do we'll to take notice. That
many mature hogs are still following
cattle in Iowa, Nebraska and South
Dakota is evident and they will show
up when corn planting is over if not
before. While the winter crop is be-
ing cleaned up the trade expects house
hogs to sell on a &c basis at Chicago,
but June, July and August will witness
a lighter movement and higher prices,
especially on light stuff.

The House of corneiIle.

The house in which Corneille lived
at Rouen, and where he composed the
"Cid," "Polyeucte," "China," and near
ly all his beautiful plays, is for sale
for $4,000, and a proposal has been
made to open a public subscription for
it's purchase and preservation as an
historical monument
For the last 100 years periodical at
tempts have been made to secure it
for the state, but always without sue
cess. In 1902 Napoleon himself took
an interest in the question and urged
the mayor to find the means for its
purchase.
Corneille. it is said, wrote most of
his plays in the room adjoining the
bar, and the jokes, noise and revel of
the guests, it is added, used to be
quite an inspiration to him. After 200
years the bar is still frequented by
merry drinkers.

CHICAGO stockyards Notes.

I A smaller run of cattle next MONDAY
than landed here Mondays in recent
weeks will likely fill trade require
ments.
! Good cows and heifers show largely
/ 15@2Oc decline from week ago, but
medium classes are hardly more than
| 10c lower.
| Slim supplies sufficed to fill all de-
mand, since beef trade is well stocked
at present from big marketing in the
past two weeks.
Altho marketing this week is 1880
under a week ago, there has still been
too many cattle for the lessened de-
rmapds.
! "If supplies are around $4,000 at the
! start next week look out for sharp
upturn in lamb prices" suggested
| trader.
"The increase in supplies of lambs in
medium flesh this week may be ac-
counted for by the anxiety of owners to
Iliouidate owing to the high prices" said
dealer.
! Good to choice steers have not suf-
fered as much as medium and plain
light kinds, the good classes showing
hardly Toe decline from last weeks
IeVel, out lower prices LOT tileSe III laec
of considerable smaller marketing has
not been viewed as encouraging to
strength in trade in the immediate fu-
ture
Trade will require smaller market
ing again next week if prices are to be
strengthened say most of the local OPP
orators, as the slaughterers will have
liberal supply of beef on hand, and
with only fair call from shippers and
exporters, it is not reasonable to antici-
pate much more urgent demands.
A few warm rains might tend to cut
down the heavy liquidation of light
steers. which should really be kept at
home to fatten, and with the coming of
warmer weather traders say receipts OF
such should be smaller. There is not
sufficient demand to care for continued
liberal marketing of these classes at
steady rates, and a further sinking OF
the price range may be looked for in
the event of heavy marketing of light
steers next week

II Pays to Buy a Piano or An
Organ Made by a Respon.
sible Manufactures.

A piano or organ is something you
buy with the expectation of using it for
many years. 1t is very important then,
that you purchase an instrument that
\ is guaranteed by a house that is not
only responsible but which also has
facilities and an established reputa-
tion for producing first class instru-
\ ments.
The Gable Company is recognized as
thss greatest concern in the world en-
gagged in the manufacture of pianos
and organs. We operate two immense
factories one at Chicago and the other
at St. Charles, ILL.,, and our instru-
ments are in use not only in all parts
of this country, but in every civilized
i country abroad.
We make complete line of pianos
and organs from the good, medium
priced instrument to the most elabor-
ate. and we meet the demands of every
buyer.
1t is not necessary to pay the full
price down when you purchase.
We give terms satisfactory to all.
Please write two or three lines to the
Cable Piano Co. Chicago, ILL.,, for
prices. Mention Times Republican
when writing.

Doctor Exploded Popular Belief.

"One of the most dangerous pop
ular fallacies that / know OF" said
a Davenport physician today, is that
a person bitten by a dog will not con-
tract hydrophobia If the dog is killed
Immediately This belief, which is
generally held by all classes of peo-
pie. has undoubtedly caused many
people to die from hydrophobia whose
lives could have been saved. There
is absolutely no foundation in fact tor
the belief that by killing the dog all
danger from the rabies to the person
bitten is removed. On the other hand
this is the most dangerous and fool
ish thing that could be done.
.The other day a man who had
suffered bite from a dog came to
my office for treatment. He told me
that ne intended to have the dog
killed as he was afraid if it was al
lowed to live he might contract the
dreaded disease. I finally convinced
him that it would do no good to Kill
the dog, and advised him to have 1T
chained UP for a time, or better still
placed in a cage. Then if it showed
symptoms of hydrophobia he could go
at once to a Pasteur institute in time
to ward off the dread disease. If
the dog really had the rabies and
was killed there would be no method
of finding out the fact until the per-
son bitten is attacked and then it is
usually too late.
GAS matter of fact, but few dog
bites result seriously, but when per-
son is bitten he should have the wound
cauterized promptly as a precautionary
measure If the bite is serious one
or there is any suspicion that the dog
may be afflicted with rabies, he should
be tied up or Gagged for at least three
weeks. If no symptoms of hydropho-
bia develop within that time there is
but little chance of any serious results
Of course if it is evident that the dog
is affected when he does the biting, he
should be killed at once and the person
bitten should hurry to Pasteur insti-
tute for treatment But the fact that
the dog has been killed will not pre-
vent the attack no matter how wide
spread is the impression that it will
have that effect"

goddess of chance. is going away from
here, his departure is not for good.
He goes, but to return. He said so
last evening in his apartments at the
Waldorf-Astoria. All the same, he has
abandoned Wall street for keeps.
Il am thru with Wall street." he
said, I've been busy down there off
and on for quite few years and / am
done with it. Hereafter when return
to this country, shall devote myself
to the management of the business in
terests with which l am connected en-
I'll have enough to do to keep me busy
at that, I think"
Mr.. Gates smiled blandly when he
was reminded that various reports had
it that the savage clump that hit the
market last March had put crimp in
his fortunes and those of his son.
Nothing in that" he replied; 81 only
hope that when other operators quit
the market they will be able to do it
with no more regret than ]"
AS heretofore related, Mr.. Gates and
his son, Charles G., have leased a
hunting preserve about forty miles
from Paris. 1t contains about 1000
acres. Mr.. and Mis-. Gates will sail
about the middle of July and will not
return until some time in October.
Mr.. Gates has some ideas about the
ethical side of stock market opera
tions that are in keeping with his rec
ord.
Life is a gamble" he said. every
thing is a gamble. When the farmer
plants his corn he is gambling. He is
practically betting that the weather
conditions will enable him to raise a
good crop Sometimes he loses, some
times he wins. Every man who en-
cages in business depends on specula-
ton. Whenever man starts out on
railway journey les gamble whether
he ever reaches his destination. All
life is. a gamble, you see."
A good many persons may smile
when they hear that Mr.. Gates has
renowned the speculative market for
ever. but there's no doubt that he is
sincere about it now-whatever lure
may draw him back again. He says
his son Charles is out of 1t for keeps,
