Refusal to Pay High Figures Forces the

Chicago, Oct. 22.--Wholesale prices Of

Reluctance to buy high priced beef
products and the fact that the tempera.

consumption of heat producing food are
the influences which forced packers to
lower prices.

a teaspoonful of olive oil and the juice OF
half a lemon, but nothing more than this.
This continued until the forty-sixth day,

cut out.
Every day he rode downtown and spent
an hour or two at the drug store. During

He did not keep a daily or weekly record
of this, but on the forty-sixth day he had
lost about twenty or twenty-five pounds.
Since then he has been picking up, and
now considers that is a far better man
physically than when he started in.
The forty-sixth day he tried to eat a
slice of an onion with the lemon juice
spread on it, but it did not taste good.
Since that time he has occasionally tried
to break the fast by drinking water from
boiled beef, but has never craved either

hungry and sees no reason why he cannot
continue to live with olive oil and lemon
juice in teaspoonful meals for some time

NEW MEMBERS FIRST SPELL
How a Congressman, Big at Home,
Shrivels Up in FriEid
W~aHhfnxtOn

The article entitled "A Congressman's
First Speech" by Congressman Murdoch
of Kansas, in the August American Maya
zine, is a great human document. 1t Is a
complete revelation of the means by which
Speaker Cannon and the republican ma
chine rule the house of representatives. 1t
shows how the new country congressman,
big at home. shrivels up into nothing when
he encounters frtgid Washington.
OF a congressman's first speech Mr.. Muir
dock says, in part:
Then the new member makes his first
speech. The desks whirl and rise into his
face when he gains his feet, and he has the
sensation that he is believing, and he soon
discovers that he has three audiences. The
nearest audience is the house itself, cold,
critical and politely curious. The next is
the audience in the gallery, and with this
audience the orator seems to feel at mo-
ments in touch. Possibly these visitors,
sightseers in the capitol mostly, believe In
him. The third audience is a single re-
porter in the press gallery. The men of
the press do not listen TO first speeches.
and presently this single reporter departs.
The new member watches him go with a
resentment against all of his craft.

folks out home, the folks who met him
with brass bands, who had applauded his
speeches, the folks who had believed in
| him, the folks who did not know that he
had been dumped as negligible into the
trash heap of a machine.
"And as he continues there comes to him
the impeaching sense that for a hundred
years congressman have been making his
| speech; the Jefferson heard II In his day,
and Clay and Webster and Lincoln and
Blaine and Mckinley in theirs. And he
catches n cynical smile on the face OF an
old member like Grosvenor Of Ohio, a

nor, has heard the speech over and over
again during his long service, the same
old, honest, futile speech.

PUBLIC SPIRITED BUSINESS MEN
shining Examples of Generosity to
Communities which Made
Them Rich.

William Barr, for many years a leading
merchant in st. Louis, died recently in the
east. He made a large fortune, and made
It all in that city. By his will he returns
nearly all Of 1t to st. Louis, the larger
part to the Washington University, with
handsome gifts to various charities. Ben
jamin Rose, one Of the richest merchants
in Cleveland, died recently. He too, made
a large fortune, and made Il all In
that city. BY his will he leaves five mill
ions Of that fortune to help crippled per-
sons ana to better the condition of those
who have been unfortunate In that city.
The examples set by these men ought to
be followed by other rich men. This mu-
nificent disposition OF their fortunes shows
that they were possessed OF strong local
pride, and that they felt their careers were
part OF the history Of the cities where
they were passed. They recognized that
the people OF the cities helped them TO
amass their great wealth, and that It was
their duty, and a grateful duty to return
a handsome share OF that wealth for the
general good.
Mr.. Barr and Mr.. Rose did not look upon
st. Louis and Cleveland merely as places
in which to do business. but as mmu
ties which had given them the opportuni-
ties and had done a large part Of the
work In piling up their possessions. They
proved themselves loyal and devoted citi-

on special orders averaging twenty miles
an hour.
Theodore Raud's run was no mnes, from
Box Elder to Julesburg. He covered the
entire distance at night While the schsd-
ule was ten miles an hour. he generally
averaged twelve miles When he first
went on the line he rode each animal
twenty-five miles, but later he received a
fresh horse every fifteen miles. Here Is an
account Of a ride by Jim Moore, noted
frontiersman:
His route was from Midway station,
half way between Fort Kearney and Cot
tonwood Springs, to Ju~lesburg. a distance
Of 40 miles. Moore rode the round trip OF
$50 miles once a week. The stations were
from ten to fourteen miles apart, and a
fresh horse, Spanish blood, was obtained
at each station. There was little delay in
these changes Of horses, as the rider gave
the coyote yelr half a mile away, and day
or night the station men had the pony
ready, so that the rider had only to dis
mount from one horse, saddle and mount
the other, and with a dig Of his spurs he
was on a run again.

riders, one going each way. As easy as Il

Arriving at J~ulesburg, he had his fear

rear, where the canal bank borders it.
The usual gypsy cooking utensils
scattered about hanging over a wood
fire, in front of tent filled with
crawling children, is the center of
the scene.

will be towards Augusta, and then
