down the fire hose from the wall and
played a stream Of ice-cold water right

says: "The Mexico papers are sing
ing the praises Of the water works 10

ternoon 10 the Barnes Bakery 10 the
rear OF the Missouri Printing o.. ad-
joining the Central Hotel. It was a
very dangerous spot aud threatened
half Of the business portion OF Mex.
leo. The company responded prompt
ly and the water works gave good
pressure for two streams and the fire
was confined to the building, which
was only partly destroyed. Had 1t
not been for waterworks, Mexico
would have been pretty nearly wiped
Of the map. Aud still some folks

"Hsre's where | played fool and
played it strong" said a hog grower
one day last week as he pointed to q
load Of the heaviest hogs seen ton the
Chicago market in several weeks
look at those hogsl Why don't you
ask me why / didn't keep them until
they succumbed to old age? Pretty
near did it anyhow. Just sold them
for s4,47l and as they weigh 40 pounds
I'll take home some money but I'm
not going to figure out how much
they cost me to feed them until they
were a year-and-a half old nor reflect
on what an idiot l was not to let
them go last summer, when a shipper
at home fairly burned up my tele-
phone wire begging me to let him
have them at 81 cents. l held those
hogs in confidence that l would get
7 cents at home and-well / didn't,
that's all and my mouth is all pucker-
cd up with the taste OF the bad
medicine I've had to swallow
Every day OF SO somebody, envelop-
ed 10 disgust at having overstayed
the good markets Of last summer and
fall, struggles In, makes the best OF q
bad bargain and HES home without
waxing eloquent over his folly. Over
staying a good market is q species OF
folly that invariably pays It's own
penalty. Every load Of big hogs
this winter reflects on the
Judgment OF the man who raised
them. Most Of the heavy cattle could
have been sold to better advantage
and the sheepman who was not
satisfied when prices we're a dollar-a-
head can easily be located. 1t is
an exhibition OF sound judQ-
ment to go to market when the price
Is right provided the stock is Ia post
zion TO meet the require ments.
