are authorized to collect as follows
when paymene of fss...e is rendered on

"A charge Of ten COY cents may be
dded to the fare of any passenger
when the same is paid upon the cars,
If ticket might have been procured
within a reasonable time before the
departure Of the train; except in those
cases where minimum Of ten (10}
cents is charged for distance Of less
than five (5) miles as above provided"
This, therefore. is to advise that

Suckers and Feeders.

l
| The weeks business suffered a bad
slump. Country buyers We're remark
ably scarce, which was attributed to
the fact that work on the farm now Is
| very urgent Not many farmers have
| the time to come after feeders. and I'M
| ill corn is laid by and harvest is over,
there will not be a very wide request
| for feeders The voluma of business
vas remarkably slack, tho receipts
| we're liberal. Since packers have been
able to get so many Texas cattle. they
have neglected the common natives,
and large number of that class had
to be sold for feeders. which short
time ago went to killers. The elimina :
zion of the packing competition has
dulled the edge Of the feeder trade
very much. Common light stock cat
lie are very hard to sell. The chief de-
mand is for something good and the
common light scalawag steers are only
taken because they are ridiculously
cheap. The general market declined
15M25c last week and pretty good
feeding steers were obtained at S4.25D
$50, and only a few of the best select
ed kinds landed any higher. Some
steers of fair quality sold at 81, and
those at s3.60m3S5 We're much better
than the s425 kind few weeks ago.
Mixers and Sprineers.
While there has not been much
change in the market for mixers or
springers recently, the tendency of the
trade has been downward for the COM
mon to medium grades and they have
been very hard to sell. The best milk
nd ;uh- do
have found pretty decent outlet at
rather stronger rates, but on the whole.
the volume of business has been light
and buyers were satisfied with limited
receipts. Strictly choice COWS sold at
$45M so, with the bulk of the medium
at $30@35. with the most of the COM
mon cows at s2o@25.
Butcher Stock.
Prospects for N,tcher stock are not
very 1attering ahead as the range sup
ply is about to start and there are
enough Texas cattle TO keep buyers
filled up for long time. Choice dry
lot cows closed the week al s4m5. with
the medium grades at s30350 Prime
heifers are quotable up to $3.50, but
there were not many that sold above
So during the week.
Gamers and Cutters.
Gamers and cutters slumped severe
ly during the week. Altho they were
already low and hard to sell because
the packers have fought shy of them
there was decline OF 25c during the
week. Most of the Gamers have to
go to outside buyers and only the best
end of the cutters attract attention
FROM local buyers. A good many can
ners are bought and sent back to the
country for stockers. Most Of fhe cam
ners sold at $175m2.35 and the bulk
of the cutters went at s24b@2.75.

PIE BIRDS OF BRITTANY.
They Must Be Pretty Strong, Accord,
ing to This Breton Story.

ing to TINS Breton story
Speaking of exaggerations," said
traveller, reminds me Of the pie bird
story of the Breton farmer.
'Hrhere was a farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies. Pies.
you know. are large birds, black and
white, with long tails-a kind of crow.
The farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. If he put up scare
crows. the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
.".Oh. father, hundreds and hundreds
of birds! The wheat Is being all eaten
up"
"rhe farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shot? 1t couldn't be
found. He put in few handfuls Of
tacks instead. Then he ran out. The
Wheatfield was black and white, like a
checkerboard, with pies. The farmer
gave loud Yell, and the birds all few
UP into tall poplar. He fired, and.
10, every bird was nailed fast to the
tree They were nailed fast. Their
Tapping wings filed the air with a
loud whir The farmer. amazed. stood
watching them. Then strange thing
happened. The birds. with one grand
united effort. pulled up the huge tree
and dew away with it,
