This is the first photograph to
beprinted in this country of the
aeroplane, in which Wilbur
Wright, few days ago. travelled
two miles in one minute and 46
seconds at lie Mans, France.
Wright was making a test for the
benefit of the French government,
a prospective purchaser of his ma
chine.
Wright Is now preparing for a
50-kilometer (31 miles, fight, in
which he hopes to smash all air
ship speed records.
In the meantime his brother, Or
Vile, is about to make a test
fight with duplicate machine at
Fort Myer, near Washington, in
the hope of making purchaser
out of Uncle Sam.
The above photograph is parti
cularly remarkable, inasmuch as il
is the first ever taken of the
Wright aeroplane within a dis
lance of a half mile.
The Wright brothers have al
ways kept camera men at safe
distance, and established a guard
to keep off prying spectators.
Several Illustrations of the aero

Well, maybe not; one don't like
to think SO, but this is the story of
Mrs. Ann Gridley:
Fifty years ago she lived in a
little Michigan town. Her oldest
boy wanted to enter the navy. He
!. was fine young fellow, the apple
of her eye, and there were rum
blings in the South that were far
from reassuring, yet she babe him
60.
For of all things she loved her
country most.
Three years later the war of the
rebellion broke upon the nation.
Ann Gridley wrote her son letter
teeming with encouragement, pa
triotism and love. Then she nerved
herself to meet the worst bravely
If 1t should come.
Then came the call for army
nurses, for the hospitals were filed
with wounded soldiers and wom-
ems hands were scarce. At home
Ann Gridley had little children and
an invalid husband and she strug-
gled between love and duty as the
calls became more and more insis-
tent.
Finally she could no longer with
stand her country's plea. She went
to the front as an army nurse. Hun
dreds Of suffering heroes in Wash
tington, Georgetown, Alexandria
and Annapolis learned to watch for
her comforting face and her words
of cheer.
And when the struggle ended
she went back to her little ones,
with the knowledge CT duty bravely
done, only to face the ravages of
death that came to strip her little
home.
Again war came. this time with
Spain. Her son had climbed with
the passing years. At the battle OF
Manila bay he commanded Admiral
Dewey's flagship, the Olympia. He
was i'll that day, but he stuck
bravely to his post Perhaps his
mothers written words of the long
ago steeled him to this.

the first words of glorious victory
for the American fleet. A little

Gridley was buried with military
honors, and a gray-haired, patient
little woman resumed her work as
official sealer in the general land

years. She was a little more broken

Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CITY, May 1, 1908.- Cattle receipts this week were 34,- GOO head, an increase of 50@o over last week, and the market has held up very we'll, heavy fed steers be- ing about the only class to show d loss, that kind selling 10 to 20 cents lower than week ag,. Stockers and feeders have been scarce and are ten higher than a week ago, stockers more than this in some cases, and standing at the highest point of the year. Several trains of fed cattle from Colorado and other Western states came in the first of the week, the good steers selling at $6.15 to $6.65, hay fed steers from Southern Colorado at $5 75, cows $550. feeders $5 p to $5.50, stockers $4.50 to $5.50, calves $500 to $500. Calves are $l % higher here than in Chicago, account of small number coming. April receipts here show shortage of over 30 per cent, and the same loss is exhibited at all the markets combined. Receipts for May will likely also be short of normal for that month, aud the market should remain good during the month. Demand for the meats is better than a week or two ago, and packers show less disposition to haggle over prices.
 Large receipts of sheep and lambs at all points this week kept the market going down, loss for the week 20 to 30 cents. Supply here exceeds 42,O0O head, but as receipts yesterday and today have been small, the market is stronger today, and 5 to 10 cents higher than low time of the week, indicat- ing healthy condition. Propor- ton of Texans is heavier this week than last, while receipts of fed western lambs are smaller. Wooded lambs bring $6.50 to $7.15 today, clipped lambs $500 to $6.65. clipped western ewes and wethers S50O to $5.60, wooded yearlings S6OO to $6 50, good to choice Texas muttons $5 25 to $5.5O, medium @.5O to $5.20, goats $3.40 to $4.00, ineedlng lambs $5.50 to $6.50, sheep $3.50 to $500.
