market was also bullishly affected by adj
vices from Argentina, which, claimed that
harvest operations were being delayed by

HOGS-Recelpts OF hogs Tuesday were
quite liberal, 125 cars being reported
in. The market as a whole was about the
slowest and dullest experienced at this
point in some days. Buyers seemed TO be
in no hurry about getting down to bust
velopments instead OF filling orders early.
When the market finally opened the best
hogs were picked out here and there. a
load OF two at a time, at prices that were
steady to possibly a trifle stronger. In
other words, the prices paid for the good
hogs were largely at t5.45q5.65. on the
other hand they were very slow TO take
hold Of the common to medium kinds and
the forenoon was far advanced before any
thing like a clearance was made.
The market closed very slow and dull,
with common light hogs 5d10c lower and
with the general run Of hogs selling all the
way from $3.50 up TO $3.50. The sales on
paper showed very little change as COM
pared with Saturdays ark One very
choice load sold up as high as s. 70, the top
price Of the day.

Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1908-03-13

Doubtless people by excess Of toll
and worry, neglect of rest or rules of
cleanliness do shorten the term for
which they might abide. However, the
man who lives by no rule and has no
ambition to reach the century mark is
more apt to approach it than the one
who adopts "health-giying" fads, takes
exercise by rote and lodges microbes
sedulously. The individual with the
latent potency of fourscore years or
more is scarce. Mortuary statistics
prove this. And the one passed by
when epidemics sweep away his asso-
ciates, or some of the countless acct
dents of ordinary existence end their
careers, to be sound and strong to the
last, is miracle not only of vitality,
but of the special providence generally
known as good luck.

Japan has in its navy several ships
that it captured from Russia. One of
them. the Soya, which the Russians had
called the Varing. recently went to
Chemulpo, where it had been captured.
The japanese captain mustered his men
on deck, and ''feelingly paid tribute,
says the Seoul Press, Ito the Russian
officers and crew. These brave men,
he said, did for their sovereign and
country exactly what we tried to do
for ours, and enemies of our country as
they were, We felt in our hearts at the
time sincere admiration for their noble
devotion. Happening, by the strange
irony of fate, to visit the scene of their
heroic sacrifice on board the same YES
sci on which they fought, how can we
help being deeply touched by sympathy
and respect for their departed soulsT"
Then the bugles played the salute to
the dead, and the guard presented
arms.
