Live Stock Market,

Denver Union Stock Yards, Sept. 9,
Receipts of cattle here last week were
over $500 head but notwithstanding
this, prices advanced OH good cattle
from 10 to Is cents. Some choice
Wyoming steers sold on Saturday to
packers at $4.a0, the high price of the
week, and several punches of good
western Colorado grass steers brought
|. $4.00 to $40. Cows were also In strong
demand if good and the market very
satisfactory. A few fancy COWS sold
up to $425 but not many straight car
loads got above 1915, at which price a
bunch of very good western Colorado
grass COWS went over. Most of the
fair to pretty good killing COWS went
over. Most of the fair to pretty good
killing COWS on sale brought $3.OO to
$3.50. Common cows moved more
readily than preceding week but not
much improvement In prices. Bulls
were in strong demand and firm with
tops at $500 and bulk at $3.50 to $2.75.
Veals in good supply and weak though
not much lower. A few choice light
weight veals brought $500 but not
many got above $3.50 and bulk of the
better grades sold from this down to
$4.75. Feeders and stockers were In
good demand from all sources. Order
buyers last week was the best of any
week this fall. Offerings were very
fair and the movement brisk, bulk OF
the fair to good feeders selling at SO. 50
to 81. 40 though choice steers are quot
| able up to $3.50. medium to fair
steers sold around $500 to 1918.
Hog supply was very limited last
week, due no doubt to the big slump
in prices the week before. Under very
strong demand the market was active
and prices are now fully so cents high
er than the low spot two weeks ago.
Choice hogs are now guotable around
$50 and fancy stuff might bring q
little more, bulk selling from this down
to $3.50.
The sheep supply was good and
trade very fair. Prices closed lower on
lambs due to declines east, but ewes
and wethers are holding about steady.

JACK FROST.

The Frost looked forth on still,
clear night
And whispered, Now, l shall be out
of sight;
So through the valley and over the
height
In silence I'll take my way.
l will not go on like that clustering
train.
The wind and the snow, the hail and
the rain.
That make such a hustle and noise in
vain,
But I'll be as busy as they"
So he flew to the mountain and pow
dered it's crest,
He lit on the trees and their boughs
he dressed
With diamonds and pearls; and over
the breast
OF the quiyering lake he spread
A coat Of mail, that it need not fear
The glittering point of many a spear
Which he hung on it's margin, far and
near,
Where a rock could rear its head.
H went to the windows of those who
slept,
And over each pane like a fairy crept;
Wherever he breathed, wherever he
stepped,
By the light of the morn were
seen
Most beautiful things! There were
flowers and trees,
There were bevies of birds, and
swarms of bees;
There we're cities and temples and
towers; and these
All pictured in silvery sheen.
But he did one thing that was hard
ly fair,
He peeped in the cupboard and find
ing there
That all had forgotten for him to
prepare;
Now just to set them a-thinking,
I'll bite this basket of fruit" said he,
This costly pitcher I'll burst in
three
And the glass of water they've left
for me,
Shall tchick to tell them I'm
drinking"

DOuGHNuT DAY.

| If l could dip into the jar
Where mothers big, round dough
nuts are,
Or leastwise where they used to be,
TwOuld be a sweet old world to me;
Sneak in an drop a doughnut in
My pocket then sneak out ag'in
An gnaw it down in my own nook,
Under the elms that overlook
The road that winds up hin an down
And far off wriggles into town,
Just like a dusty, yellow snake;
Then wipe the crumbs all off an make
Another sneak beneath that lid,
! I'd be a happy sort Of kid
To my idee a dOughnut round,
Dropped into boilin fat an Drowned
Just the right shades, a thing Of joy
To touch the heart of man er boy;
| know my dad used to come in
| The kitchen with a sneaky grin,
Sneak red-hot one and go way,
! Whilst mother fused on doughnut
day.
FBut mothers fussin' was the kind
Nobody in the world would mind,
There was a twinkle in her eyes
That took the edge from her replies.
An on her lips the sweetest smile
Thet cOaxed Teller all the while.
| That cOaXed him to just help himself
From doughnut jar or pantry shelf;
The way to show you liked her stuff,
An please her. was to eat enough
TO founder you; | think | stole
Them doughnuts them days, rim an
n hole,
Because a boy has got feel
That anything he has to steal
| Tastes a lot better than great
Big heap of them piled on his plate,
An I'd steal them all day an she,
Meal times, would turn her eyes on
me
An say: That boy. upon my word,
/ Don't eat enough to keep a Bird"
I've drinked champagne a little Bit
An I've a lovin' spot fer it;
IAN I've eat a quail served hot on
toast,
An liked it, too, but I liked most
The doughnuts that | swiped and took
Away where | could overlook
The road that winds around an down,
This way away off to the town.
That way away to Uncle Joe's;
AS twisty as a serpent goes.
An both ways off to that far world,
Where all my future yet lay furled,
But with no jars whence one may
take
Doughnuts like mother used to make.

no persuasion will lure them to their

them she layed and set. When she
came off to eat, the guineas would rec
ognize her and follow, eating with
her, standing around her while she
busted, then follow her to her nest
and set up a perfectly deafening cho-
rus of protest at her desertion, until
if not driven away they would succeed
in getting her to leave her nest again
Yet. with all their i'll deeds, they are
well worth a place on the farm, for
more delicious morsel is hard to find
than young guinea, tender, juicy and

HALLGERD'S HAIR.

Shafts are thick in the April air.
Lend me a lock of thy yellow hair,
Wife Of mine whom l had to win
Out of the hands of her nearest kin,
HaIIgerd, Hallgerd!
Here l stand in my tower alone;
Look out and see how my foes come
on.
With a stringless bow I am undone,
Hallgerd!"
Though they come as thick as a
swarm of bees,
Honey they have not for me to seize.
Nothing to do and nothing to say
Have women watching men wound
and Stay,
Gunnar, Gunnar!
Why should l stem the tide of blood,
Or waste my hair for Gunnar's good?
For you my questions are too shrewd,
Gunnar!"
MY foes are nearer; they multiply.
Lend me thy hair or else l die.
Closer and closer grows the trap.
Behold, my life is within thy lap,
Hallgerd, Hallgerd!
Like a rat in a trap I soon shall fare
Unless thou endest thy yellow hair
For a ladder out of the window there,
HaIlgerd."
81 have knotted my hair with silken
twine
Loose it l will not for need of thine.
Never again shalt thou see it shed
Upon my bosom and on thy bed,
Gunnar, Gunnar!
Once, for my silence, thou didst
smite
Me on the cheek in pride of might.
For that same blow shalt thou die to-
night
Gunnar!"
Sorrow befall thee who bore the
blow;
Gunnar of Lithend lieth low,
Sorrow befalI thee, Gunnar's wife,
Shame and sorrow and long long
life,
Hallgerd, Hallgerd!
Scorn for thy garment shalt thou
wear;
After thee shame as a shadow fare.
Blood is upon thy yellow hair,
Hallgerd!

MOLASSES A MEDICINE.

On the antiseptic principle, molasses
has been found a highly beneficial and
soothing application for boils, which
are the result of local infection by
germs, and not, as was long supposed,
due to impurities" in the blood. The
germs which give rise to boils were
discovered by Pasteur in his search
for the cause of anthrax, a fatal dis
ease OF cattle, likewise due to mi
crobes. But a more sovereign remedy
for these painful Affections is boIic
acid, gently and repeatedly rubbed in
at an early stage of the Inflammation,
in the form of salve. Had Job
known this he might have been less
tempted to take his wife's advice
curse God and die"

SAILING VESSELS STILL USED,
Schooner Destined to Retain a Place
in Carrying Trade.

Schooner Destined to Retain a Place
in Carrying Trade.
The passing Of the square-rigger
does not portend he extinction of
sailing craft. Far from it, says a writ
er in the May Outing. 1t simply en-
phasizes the fact that upon the sea
as on the land, the forces of evalI-
ton are at work, and that ships seem
fated to pass into history along with
other utilities that were good enough
in their day, but are unable to meet
present requirements.
In the schooner, or fore-and-aft
rugged vessel, the square-rigger has a
worthy successor, and one that seems
destined indefinitely to retain a prom
nent place in the carrying trade of
the country, in spite of steam aggres-
sion. In glancing at the statistics for
the last ten years we certainly find
much encouragement for vessels If
this type. Whereas the rugged vessels
suffered decrease during this period
of over so per cent, schooners held
their own, and this in spite of the fact
that in the same interval several hun
dred fore-and-afters, some dating back
as far as 1880 gave up the ghost and
were removed from the maritime
lists.
From 1894 to 1904, 379 schooners
and 1877 schooner-rigged barges were
constructed, a total of SAG, as against
265 steamers for the same DarioI
Within recent times the average size
Of our schooners has nearly doubled,
increasing from 355 to 500 tons bur,
den. There are now upon the lists a
total of 1923 seagoing schooners, ag-
gregating 764.S66 tons

Down Quilts Washed at Home.

Down quilts and small feather or
down pillows which have become soil
ed can be washed at home, with very
little trouble and expense. First
choose a good day, for the drying is
half the battle, and you need plenty OF
sunshine and gentle wind. Use
lukewarm water and one of the many
pure soaps that are in the market
just now, and avoid washbOard. IT
will not be of any help and it will
certainly pull your quilt or pillow out
of shape. Rub thoroughly with the
soap, squeezing and patting with
hands as you might fine WOODEN under
wear. Rinse in two or three clear
waters and hang up to dry in the sun
light A dash of salt in the water
will keep the colors from fading.
