The Making Of a

"A l 7 DEAR BOY-I have just re-
I" ceived your letter announc-
ing your engagement to Miss
Anna May Jackson. l don't
know whether to congratulate you or
not. So much depends upon the girl,
you know. If could see her and have
ten minutes chat with her, could
tell whether you have drawn a prize
or blank. AS it is, l shall trust to
Providence and hope for the best.
Your description is entertaining, but
not very informing. You say that she
sis as beautiful as Aurora upon a sum-
mer MORN" that her eyes are filled
with heavens own blue" that her
chair Is a golden aureole surmounting
a marble brow" and her cheeks are
''like the rosebud kissed by the en-
amored SUM-

this, as the critics say when they want
to accuse writer Of plagiarism and
are afraid of libel suit. l distinctly

port wife-ti?e wife I have in mindY
Given the proper financial backing,
are my habits and disposition such
that sensitive and sensible woman
can live with me for a lifetime with
out an occasional desire to jump into
the river? Few men stop to consider
that side of the proposition, and when
the wheels of the matrimonial wagon
begin to creak they wonder what's the
matter. Talk about the divorce evil!
If woman wasn't the most long suffer
ing creature on the face of the earth,
all the courts of Christendom would be
filed with divorce cases. But that's a
depression. AS / was saying, take
stock of yourself and then consider the
girl.
Sense Better Than Learning.
The main thing to be desired in a
woman is sense. And by that | don't
mean education. It's mighty fine

of the solemnity and responsibility OF
marriage pumped into yourself and
your sweetheart until you are both
saturated with it, Then walk up to the
altar with joy in your hearts, and if
you can't live happy ever after it won't
be the fault of the preacher.
Now, my dear boy, l neither suppose
nor expect you will pay the slightest
attention to anything l have said. AS

When You get married, have it done
right. Don't go frisking out to sub
urban justice of the peace to have the
knot tied without trouble and without
ceremony. Next to your birth and your
death it's the most important event of
your life. Your funeral may be an inn
posing one, but you will not be in Pc
sition to appreciate it. You will play
second fiddle at your wedding, but it's
your show nevertheless, and you should
make it as impressive as you can. |

PRICE LEVELS FOR HOGS LOWER
Packers Would Have Forced Price.
Still Lower Had 1t Not Been for
Outsiders Buyins-QuaIity of Offer
ing Good-sheep and Lamb Trade
Fully Steady.

Chicago, April 12--Cattle demand
1Oc higher. Cow stuff was steady. Re-
ceipts were only 100 and as eastern
buyers were here with orders, this
supply was quickly disposed of
Over half of this weeks run came on
Monday, and that was the only really
poor days trade OF the four this week.
Since then conditions have picked up,
but the fact remains that buyers got
the biggest portion of the weeks steer
purchases on a lower basis. Had there
been fewer here Monday and more In
later days conditions would have been
more satisfactory all around.
Hogs.
Demand did not have the activity
of the market of the previous day, ana
price levels We're lowered about five.
Had 1t not been for buying by outsid-
ers, packers would have been able TO
force prices off more. The quality OF
offerings was good.
Packers evidently need a fresh sup
ply of hogs from day to day. A run
OF nearly $4,000 disappeared into their
cavernous nav on Monday, and next
day they were as voraciouA as ever.
Light stuff is In hot demand, indicat-
ing an incessant demand for pork
chops. 1t will take a liberal weekly
supply right along TO satisfy consump-
tive demand.
Packers admit that fresh meat de-
mand is urgent and that little stuff is
being put away. April stocks will un-
doubtedly show decrease, and when
the merchandising season gets in full
swing the small accumulation of the
winter will rapidly melt away.
There is no hog famine, but con-
Is heavy and the grower will
be kept busy meeting the needs of the
consumer during the summer season.
Sheep.
The sheep and lamb trade was fully
steady. Receipts were not heavy and
were we'll taken care of. Wool lambs
sold freely.
Packers are strenuously fighting
against higher prices for sheep and
lambs and owners may depend upon 1t
being continued. Buyers have made
frantic efforts to stay the ascendency
of values this week but thus far it has
awaited them nothing.
Colorado and fed western lambs
never sold SO high on this market as
this week and sheep went at the best
prices of the year. Mexican lambs
from Colorado reached $3.50 and Mexi-
can yearings from Minnesota landed
at $3.50, these prices being new ones on
this market The paying of $500 for
shorn western wethers means $500 for
such in fleece here-the highest price
sheep have brought on this market
since 1888.
Tho prices for choice stock may go
still higher. traders say there should
be no holding back of sheep and lambs
in good condition for slaughter. Let
such come to market right along. but
keep the half-fat stock back for longer
and better feeding if they are doing
