on the whole is in good shape and
prices paid here are relatively higher
than those prevailing at the river
markets. Good fat steers sold at S.. rs
to Sc 35 and bunch of choice grassers
from the North Park sold at Sc 90.
Medium steers sold from S5.75 down
Good grass cows sold up to S4 rs and
the better killers from this down to
S4. 5 with the medium grades largely

4 Good Kansas Corn Story,

This story has been published SO often
the credit is lost. We give condensed
version of it merely to prove that it's
natural to "kick:"
A farmer bought wagon in Hutch
inson in 1894 for $50, recently he
needed a new wagon and went to the
same dealer who priced him the same
wagon at $40. The farmer objected to
the extra ten dollars and demanded a
reason. The merchant reflected a
moment and then said he would sell
him the wagon on the same terms as
the first one. "You paid for the one
you bought in "a in corn, and if
remember correctly you brought me
900 bushels of corn at 10c bushel.
Now you bring me in 600 bushels of
corn and will give you this wagon"
"Well, say hold on" began the
farmer.
But" interrupted the dealer "your
wife can select $l25 surrey, you can
have the best selfbinder in the store,
worth $l25; then you can have an $50
kitchen range and $40 worth of kitchen
furniture, all for 600 bushels of corn.
The wagon at $40 and the other items
foot up $42O-6OO bushels of corn at 70c
bushel, S420."
The farmer was stunned, but without
saying another word about monopolies
or the tariff, counted out $40 for the
wagon.

move freely. Prices are about the
same as a week ego.
The hog demand is good and prices
now range from 81 70 to $500. On
Friday best hogs sold at So. .O231 which
is the highest price paid here for the
past six or eight years.
Receipts of sheep were light and the
market quiet. Prices remain about the
same as week ago with best grass
wethers at "a. so and lambs at $7.25.

In Little Old New York
BY NORMAN

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-A big
crowd was gathered at the curb on
Park Row. You see small crowds
on that thoroughfare, every few
yards, gatherered about some deal
er in trinkets, but to get a big
bunch of people there must be
something new and novel on view.
Approaching the outskirts of the
throng, sounds of wild, shrill music

were heard. Crowding in, the curl
Gus got view of a man and two
boys, making the music. The man
was playing a street piano, and
each of the boys-shabby, thin
faced lads of about Is or 16-had
a small mouth-instrument produc-
ing a sound like a fife or piccolo,
on which he was blowing with all
his might.
The boys carried perfectly the
air that the piano was playing, and
as they played they walked about,
offering the instruments for sale
at 5 cents each. They were doing
a lively business.
A little ways beyond a man was
selling for 10 cents a knife with
two blades, glass cutter. a cork
screw and a few other tools. He
also was doing well. "WebSter's

not going so fast as might be ex-
