Whose lives are lived in remembrance gay,
OF school and graduation day.

| That lesson tasks were lett unuone
Or rules defied by anyone
OF course we get less admiration
| Than our girls of lower station.
| That Is, those. who occupy
Those seats at school we've long passed by
| But they don't have the added sense.

band, brother, or sweetheart, OF a
club woman, who has the least
abused or henpecked appearance,
On the other hand we think you all
look better than other men be-
cause OF such association.
"Happy are we met; happy
have we been; happy may we
part and happy meet again." is as
correct as versification requires.

ST. Louis Live Stock Market

ST. Louis Live Stock Market
Especial to the Tribune)
Cattle receipts $500; no choice
heavy weights on sale. General
steer market strong and active;
COWS and heifers steady. Good
heavy feeders strong; others
slow. Good fat steers on the
yearling order are in oest de-
mand, and consequently quickest
sellers. Welook for more moder-
ate supplies during the remainder
of this week, and a little further
advance in values seems assured.
Top veal calves s6.75. Supplies of
that kind have been liberal last
few days.
Hog receipts $500; market OPEN
ed strong, with a few selected
heavy weights up to $6.l5, which
represents top. A reaction soon
set in, however, and the bulk of
all the hogs today sold about 10
cents lower than yesterdays bulk
or at S5.45 to $3.50. A good many
hogs unsold which is not very
promising for the next few days,
owing to the Holiday, Thursday.
Sheep receipts 1900; market ac-
tive and 25 to 80 cents higher than
at the close of last week. Choice
mutton sheep today sold up to
$3.50; yearlings up to S4.S5 and
lambs up to S4.75. Lighter sup-
plies the next few days will
doubtless keep the market in
good condition.
