"A Little More Than Your Income. A young man. being asked how
 much it cost to live in New York City. replied: "A little more than your income, whatever that is" A young city clergyman on his first round of parish calls found fam
 ilv on the verge of starva- tion. The man had been out of work for months. He had a wife and five children, the youngest a baby. They had just eaten the last bit of food in the house. The young clergyman gave them five dollars and collected for them twenty more before the day
 was out. A few days later he called to see about getting work for the man. They were again on the point of starving. With the twenty-five dollars the woman had bought a fine new baby carriage, some coffee and sugar. When the clergyman eX-
 postuIated she indignantly denied eX- travagance. The children had brok-
 en the old carriage, and it was nee essary the baby should have a daily airing. As for the coffee it was the first they had had in weeks They were accustomed to it and needed It. -Appleton's Magazine for July.

his native Harlem it doesn't occur to the flat-house dwellers to issue forth with flowers and garlands and lift their voices in applauding song against the roar of the "L" trains and the greater noises of the street And yet, if we could send a team back to that ancient stadium in the Peloponnesus-with their spiked shoes and crouching starts and American nerves-I suppose there is not the slightest doubt that man for man, leaving out beauty and sentiment, and, also, the more brutal i-glad- iatorial contests, they would win as surely as that first funny little team won at Athens when the Olympic games were revived twelve years ago, Everything that we know of the per formanceS of the ancient Greeks leads to this belief-that we can run faster, jump higher and farther than they. An English team might make the same assertion and with almost as good reason. I say American, be- cause this is d sport at which Amer jeans have been nOticeably success full, and because this success has re- suited not from mere chance but from a combination of characteristics which are more typically theirs than they are British or French or Rus sian.
 This is specially true of the sprints and short distance runs. To win in these, as they are run today, re- quires great technical finish, an eX- treme amount of nervous energy, physical alertness, and rather spe- cial power-nerve, sand, grit, or whatever you choose to call it which enables an athlete to concen- trate in one short, supreme effort, every ounce of energy and effective ness he has in him. This particular make-up-a large amount of imme- diately available nervous energy and the alert power of concentration is rather characteristically American. just as the enduring vitality and steady pluck which wins the dis tance runs is rather characteristic caIly British. And the track achieve ments of our athletes are therefore. in their small way, American achieve .ments.-From "The Men Who Set the Marks" by Arthur Ruhl, in The out ing Magazine for July.

Better Athletes Than the Ancient
 Greeks.

If the great Alexander could be invited to compete in the Olympic games today, he would complain, suppose, that track sport had become too much a business to be possible as a gentleman's pleasure-the Greek athletes only spent seven months exclusively in training for the games after several years of general prep aration-that the eligibility rules were not strictly enforced and that the names of the men who won every thing sounded, to a pure blooded Hel- lene at least, extremely queer.
 Times undoubtedly have changed. The PinGaric odes have given way to sporting pages and wOOdpulp supplements, and when the victor in the hundred meter sprint returns to

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.

Kansas City, July 19.-There was a moderate run of cattle last week and the market retained a part of the good advance secured the first two days of the week until the end. Yesterday the heaviest supply of the summer season arrived. 20.000 head which, in connection with the liberal supplies at other points. gave buy CTS the upper hand, and prices are 10 to 20 cents lower than the end of last week. Buyers claim the meat is hard to move, on account of hot weather and unfavOrable industrial conditions being against them, and should receipts continue heavy, prices will likely show further declines. On the other hand, the market has made some exceptional recoveries from re cent breaks, but it was mainly on account of circumstances which cut down the receipts temporarily. Fed steers are extremely scarce, and com mand $7.25@S.00, although none of this kind are here today. Grass steers bring $4.50@6OO, mostly west erns from Kansas pastures; Panhan- dIe and quarantine grass steers at S3.75@5.OO, cows $2,25@3.75, calves I$3.5O@5.OO, bulls $2.40@5.75.. Fall trade in stockers and feeders is just opening up, stockers at $3.O0m4.5O, feeders $4OO65.OO, with fleshy feeders upwards into the fat cattle price range.
 Supply of sheep and lambs is mod crate. it being between seasons in the range sheep trade, Texas and the southwest about through running, and Utah and the northwest not yet fairly started. The run is 1000 head, composed mostly of small lots from native territory. but also including Arizona wethers at $4.25, Colordao spring lambs $675, Arizona spring lambs S6.1O. The market is 15@25c higher. There is a good demand from the country for stock stuff, wethers and ewes at $3.OO@3.S5. lambs at s4.5Om5.OO The advance of today is in addition to a gain of 2OG55c secured last week.

he is one of Baltimore's progressive
young men. Mr.. Fred. c. Weber will be
remembered as a gentleman who has
spent part of his summer vacations for
several years past in Thurmont and its
vicinage. He is prominent democratic
politician, secretary of the Northwestern

B. L., and Knight of Columbus. He is
also junior member of the Peters Pub
fishing Co., an all-around hustler and a
special favorite among the fair sex, as
he is bachelor. His hearty, contagious

of what the man is. This time he is a
guest of the Misses Boblitz, and we are
pleased to note the fact that Erred is in

DENVER AND WESTWARD.

DEN En- AMI w EESA w hNO'
A beautiful city, beautifully situated
is the best way to describe Denver. One
feels sense of exhileration in the at
mosphere and the splendid view OF the
snowy range of mountains to the north
and west afford rest to the eye that
has grown weary of the long stretch OF
plains west of the Missouri river. Den
YER has broad and well-shaded streets
with public buildings of massive proper
tons and attractive architecture with
residences built in accordance with the
conons of good taste with innumerable
lawns ornamented with shrubs and flow
erS.
Denver has nineteen railroads and an
extensive street railway system operat-
ing one-hundred and sixty miles of cleo
trio railroad reaching all the various por-
tions of the city. For the convenience
of persons wishing to take in the city"
an observation car labeled "Seeing Den
yer" makes tour of almost the entire
city. All the railroads which enter Den
yer land their passengers at Union De-
pot, making it convenient to travel over
the various lines, without any change OF
baggage. The hotel Accommodations of
Denver are probably the most complete
of any city of it's size in the country.
Some objects of interest in Denver are
the large shelters. the Public buildings,
the Brown Palace Hotel, the beautiful
parks and splendid homes of the mining
princes and cattle barons.
Leaving Denver over the Denver and
Rio Grande R. R. we pass through many
small towns and soon reach Colorado
Springs, famous health resort where
we make short stop and then on through
the Rocky Mounta ms, the railroad closely
following the Arkansas river until we
reach place in the gorge so narrow
that road had to be constructed right
over the river bed between granite walls
that rise almost perpendicular to the
height of couple thousand feet. Be-
fore reaching the "Royal Golge' an OBJ
servation car is attached to the train for
the convenience of all who wish to get
an unobstructed view of the grand seem
cry, as the observation car had no top
we found pair of goggles very necessary
to keep cnders etc. out of our eyes while
gazing at the lofty mountain peaks.
Glenwood Springs is the next place at
which we stop. A strawberry festival
is in progress here and among one of the
first things we seen was a mammoth
strawberry (artifcial of course) mount
ed on a spring wagon. At this place we
saw a magnificent bathing pool remark
able for its conveniences. 1t is six hun
dred feet in length and ten feet in width
at the widest part, its depth gradually
increases from four feet at one end to
six feet at the other. The walls are of
red sand stone and the bottom is paved
with hard pressed brick. 1t is constant
ly supplied with mineral water from
Yompa spring and kept at temperature
of about ninety-five degrees. There are
over hundred dressing rooms in sep
arate departments for the sexes, and a
hooded way leads into the water. Leav-
ing Glenwood Springs we pass through
some more beautiful mountain scenery
and then on through Utah to Salt Lake
City, the headquarters of the Mormons,
where we made our next stop.
