but there are marked indications that
the new year will develop an activity
IN this branch OF the trade fully equal
TO the current demand for sheep and
lambs. The best authority available
on the outlook for cured and fresh
pork products Is inclined TO favor the
bull side OF the situation. High-priced
corn has certainly sent thousands OF
unfinished pigs TO market that would
have appeared later as finished hogs.

tine regulations, but II is a matter of
doubt whether. in the end. thew will
profit by the course that they adopted
recently. when the local market was
glutted. II is more than likely that
past experiences may cause marv
Michigan drovers to shun this market
for the remainder OF the season and
thus reduce the grand total OF the
years hog receipts To a figure even
below normal. Medium and heavy
weights are meeting with the most
ready sale. Pigs are drug aud
almost unstable.

no suggestion OF crime, but he had
written letters 20 Mrs. Landau. asking

into his offico that day and sent him
out
This young man testified that Mrs
Landau agreed, although not in direct
language. TO perform the criminal act.
She had shown him some pictures In
German book and upon these pict.
ures the criminality OF their alleged
understanding hinged.
Mrs. Landau Is q thin and feeble-ap-
pearing old woman. and she was trem.
bling with nervous excitement all
through the hearing, although she is
so deaf that she could not hear a word
OF what was being said against her.

that natures way Is the best way and

The old womans version Of the con-
vers alton Is very different from that
given at the hearing by the young
man who called upon her. She claims
that she gave him good advice and
told him to bring the mythical young
woman In the case to see her.

Congressman Listen to Suggestions

the advice that has come in from con
stituents during the last 2t hours. The
documents are then presented to the
senate or house as the case may be.
are printed in the Record and then re-
ferred to the appropriate committee.
Committees, too, have come to pay
heed to these petitions and memo
rials. The written suggestions that
come in are looked upon as a sort OF
barometer to public sentiment. And
what member of congress is not al
ways anxious to learn the drift of pub
lie sentiment in his district touching
any public question?
An examination of the files OF the
senate and house shows that the petit
tions and memorials come from all
kinds of people. 1t frequently occurs
that more than 10000 names are rep
esented on the petitions that reach
be senate in a single day.
Over in the house the petitions are
~ven more numerous. From 1000 to
$1,000 names are represented on the
petitions that reach that body daily
during the first weeks of congress.
