Prince Seeks Work.

Thru newspaper advertising he is try

a tutor, or anything that will enable
him to earn an honest living.
II must get employment of some
! kind said Prince Palcologue thru his
friend, Peter Geaneas, land 1 hope that
it will come soon'
In yesterdays papers Mr.. Geaneas.
acting for the Prince, inserted the fol-
lowing advertisements:
Imperial Prince, single, or an ancient
dethroned European family, living in
cognito, wishes to acquire the friend
ship of distinguished American gem
tleman. Apply by letter Charles de
Knox 104 East Fourteenth street"
Charles de Knox is the name used
by Mr. Geaneas, as the Prince did not
intend for the present to reveal his
identity.
Prince Paleologue came to the United
States from Athens ten months ago,
and for seven months was employed as
a writer for a Greek newspaper at SIS
a week. Three months ago he lost
that position, and since then has had
no employment.
MANY of the more prominent Greeks
in New York have offered to assist the
Prince said Mr. Geaneas. "but he will
not even accept a loan from them. He
is anxious to earn his own living. His
ambition is to make a fortune and a
reputation in the United States"
Greece does not recognize the Prince
as member of royal family, because
of a decree that there shall be no i'm
peral princes in that country except
those of the reigning family In Ven

81 years, he is received among the no

Meat Prices Too High.
Olive Stock WORLDLY

There has not been d time in years
when the public protest against the
advance in meat prices has been so
strong as it has been lately. Meat
statesmen all over Chicago, and the
same is true in other large cities. say
that their trade has fallen off 80 per
cent during the past month Shippers
of live cattle and dressed beef to New
York and other eastern points have the
same complaint. The consuming public
has taken on streak of economy,
which is unusual and unexpected. 1t
is very fortunate that the supply of
stock has been so small. for if receipts
had been heavy under these conditions
there would have been a smash In
the market which would probably have
more than equaled the advance made
during the month of March. While 1t
is true that many laboring people are
out of work there are enough able to
buy meat to hold the price up II 1t
were not for the fact that they are
stubbornly protesting against the re-
cent advance. Short supplies of live
stock compel packers to pay pretty stiff
prices, and they will not be inclined
to lower meat values till they can get
the raw material cheaper.

j. H. Skinner, who has just returned
from a trip to southwestern Iowa, says
marketable cattle are exceptionally
scarce in that part of the state. THAT
part of Iowa is great cattle-feeding
country" said MIR. Skinner, land when
they are scarce there it is pretty GER
tain that they are scarce everywhere.
High priced feed last winter discour-
aged stockmen and they rushed their
cattle to market freely, just when
prices were lowest. Now they are slow
to fill up with S. feeders, and most far
mers are inclined to hold off for flu
ture developments. Grass is looking
fine and there will be an abundance of
pasture and apparently few cattle to
eat it,
At this time of the year and up to
the time till the western range cattle
are due packers have been accustomed
to depend on the Texas contribution to
help them out. This season Texas
cattle thus far have been comparative
ly scarce at all the markets. and not
enough have been received to keep ma
tive butcher stock down to normal
level.
Sheepmen's scant losses in Montana
last year would indicate a big crop to
come this season. Also a good clip of
wool.
