signs of returning strength at the close of the week. Cows held up more nearly steady than steers, and stockers and feeders closed only a shade lower for the week. Receipts last week included hay fed steers from Colorado up to s5.65, and Idaho and oregon steers at S4.9O to $5.53. The run today is 13,OOO head, fairly liberal for Monday, market on steers steady, other grades strong. A string of hay fed steers from Grand June ton sold at $5.50 today, and medium grade Colorado cows, weighing only S6O lbs, sold at s4.00, latter consider ed a strong price. The best range stockers and feeders here lately sold at s4.50 to s5.15, very few stock steers under S4.0O, while the full range or prices on Colorado and New Mexico cows lately has been S2.75 to s5.25. The general opinion seems to be that little improvement can be expected in the cattle market for some weeks ahead.
 Sheep and yearlings went through last week without mucn change in price, but lambs dropped rapidly after Monday closing 25 to 40 cents below the high time. Total sheep run to- day is 11,00O head, sheep and year lings scarce and steady, lambs steady to 15c lower. Bulk,o of the decent lambs here sold at S71O to s7.35, medium to common grades down. wards to S65O, wethers worth s4.75 to s5.S5, yearlings s5i50 to S6.30, ewes s4.O0 to $500, feeding sheep $500 to $40, feeding lambs $500 to s6.40. Receipts are running about the same as at this period a year ago, all though showing a shortage since the first of the year

IS A BIRD SUPERIOR TO A
 BEAST?

What is the bill of a bird and
 what does it mean? I do not refer to the bill of a hawk, or a heron, or an owl, or an ostrich, but to that
 which is the abstract of all these and a thousand more. hold, regardless of anatomy and physiology. that a bird is a higher being than a beast
 No beast scars and sings to its sweetheart; no beast remains in life long partnership with the wife of it's youth; no beast builds itself sum- mer-house and decks it with feathers and bright shells. A beast is a groveling denizen of the earth. And who can say that there is not a connec- ton between this difference and oth- CT developments? The beast, think ing only of its appetites, has evolved a delicate nose, a discriminating pal ate, three kinds of teeth to cut, tear, and grind it's food, salivary glands to moisten the same, and a perfected apparatus of digestion. The bird, oc- cupied with thoughts of love and beauty, with fields, or waves, or mountains" and shapes of sky or plain" has made little advance in the art and instruments of good liv- ing. It swallows it's food whole, scarcely knowing the taste of it, and pair of forceps for picking it up, tipped and cased with horn, is the whole of it's dining furniture. For the bill of a bird, primarily and es- sentially, is that and nothing else. In the chickens and the sparrows that come to steal their food, and the robin that looks on, and all the little dickey-bird you may see it in it's The size and shape may vary, as a Canadian ax differs from a Scotch aX; some are short and stout and have a sharp edge for seeds; some are longer and fine pointed, for picking worms and >out of their hiding-places some a little hooked at their points, and one, that of the crossbill, with points crossed. for picking the small seeds out of fir-cones; but all are practically the same tool.

attribute of genius.
Hurry is often mistaken for dis

Two sleepy looking urchins stood
looking up at Gotham's tallest Office

The structure the boys were looking
at was the Metropolitan Life building
in New York city, the tower OF which
has just been completed. and it does

other towns and cities the end OF the
month found Mr. Taft in Seattle.

the wonderful Alaska Yukon-pacItic
exposition. In the Alaska building he
was invited into a cage where more
than a million dollars worth or gold
is exhibited, and here he washed out
a pan Of the yellow metal worth 81 .2OO.
Mr.. Taft remarked that he would go
into mining IL he could keep up that
rate. He was delighted with the many
marvellous exhibits and said he wished
he could spend several weeks there.
