Success in Handling the Animals

From the Kansas city Times
Horse and mule men at the stock yards
stood in admiration yesterday afternoon
while the soldiers of Battery A and b,
od United States Artillery. under Lieut..
r. O. Mason, loaded thirteen cars of
mules In twenty-five minutes. 1t was
a new record on the loading docks, and
il wasn't accomplished by any unusual
methods either Nor was the mule driv-
er's vocabulary rescrted to. How did
they do it? The lieutenant simply called
the roll and the mules responded to their
names.

In the same merchants exchange build

new board or bourse held daily sessions.
This new board had its birth about 1885
and had been organized as a competitor
of the old board. but the panic OF 1887
had hit the members pretty hard and
crippled their finances SO severely that
their fighting strength had vanished As
a result in 1S4S the new board passed into
ancient history, all Of its members who
were eligible having associated them
selves with the old exchange board.

NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
The Old Boards Rival Put Out OF
Business by a Panic.

From Moody's Magazine.
In 1S42 the stock exchange moved to
the new merchants exchange, bounded by
Wall and William streets Exchange
place and Hanover street. This building
afterward became the custom house, and
now is the home of the National City
Bank.
The exchange leased a large hall on
the William street side. Seats were ar
ranged around long table forming a
hollow square. and at each side of the
room on a raised platform, a number
of separate desks were placed for MEM
bers.
The members in those days adorned
themselves with swallow-tailed coats.

Property Values Wiped Out.

Eliminating the consideration of the cost
of fire fighting, we have destroyed in
property values $125S. 100000 worth in
the past five years! Again eliminating all
incidental expenses fire alone has cost
us in 1905 1912 per capita. Compare
that to the fire losses in European coun-
tries and you will realize how far behind
them we are In fire prevention. In France
Germany. Italy, Switzerland, Austria and
Denmark the general average is a trifie
less than 80 cents per capita. In
IN Germany It has never been above
40 cents. In thirty Of the princi-
pal foreign cities the average was 81
cents. while in 252 Of our cities the
1908 there were 1900 fires and the prop
erty loss amounted to $7.25O.OOO. and the
cost of maintaining the city fire depart
ment was $1.OOO.OOO: in St Louis there
were $500 fires with loss of 81 ,29S, 600
and the the cost Of the fire department
was S1.O1S, 900, and so our cities run with
a general average of the cost Of fire de-
partments almost equaling the actual
combustion of property. In Europe. Rome
may be taken as fair example. an
average There fire losses amounted to
$4,000 in year in 30 fires and the main
tenance OF it's 200 f1remen costs $50. OO(
and Rome is a city Of 100000 people. OF
nearly the size of st. Louis.
Let me ADD Just one more comparison
and then we will leave tabulations alone
for statistics are always more or less
wearying. In this country in January OF
1903 the total amount of building and
repairs done scarcely reached $16.OOO.OOO
during that same month fire destroyed
$24 ,OCO,OOO worth of property.
Wood in Construction.
Surely we have had figures enough I'd
clearly establish and to firmly impress
even the layman that fire can be said
| literally "to be eating at the very vitals
of our economic structure. Many causes
have contributed to this deplorable con-
dition. One is that our people are nat
urally reckless and careless and build az
they do much else, merely for the mo-
ment, temporarily. Then. too, until very
recently our lumber supply seemed In
exhaustible and it was the material with
which buildings could be erected with
| greatest rapidity and least initial cost
| The pioneer couldn't be expected to haul
| brick and steel into the wilderness when
| he had trees all about him from which
| he could fashion his rude habitation. Pho
neer settlements grew into villages and
the villages into cities and the habit OF
building of wood stuck to them. Why

ago and with inconaibustible materials
available everywhere and at low cost

Charles H. Jones Dies Very Suddenly.
The community was greatly shocked
at the sudden death of one of it's most
esteemed citizens on Monday after
noon at l 80. Mr.. Jones, though
never a we'll man, was, however, in
his usual health on Sunday evening
when he retired. Monday morning, be-
tween 8 and O. clock he was taken sick
and DR.. Ranney was Immediately
called. Mr.. Jones' heart seemed to
be affected, from which the doctors
could not rally him. Neuralgia of the
heart finally overlook him, from which
he died at 100 p. m. Mr.. Jones was
man of wide acquaintance and we'll
read. A fine, Christian gentleman,
good citizen, an excellent friend land
neighbor, and above all a loving hus-
band and brother. More will be said
of Mr.. Jones in the next issue. The
funeral services will be held from his
late residence on Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. Funeral services con-

lighter" heels. One and three-quarters
inches seems to be the maximum height,
however.
Heels this season are breasted with
a deep concave and some Of the smart
est models are made with small top
lifts and trimmed in Cuban fashion. A
popular edge is trimmed close on the
inside, with a fairly wide extension on
the outside. A number of novelties will
be shown, with green or tan topping
on black vamps, either patent or black
Russian. AS stated above, the popular
mode for the season will be the black
calf, Russia or vici effects. Patents and
tans in various tones are OF course
shown and will be worn, but there is
no question but that for this season
at least they are on the wane,
In the high shoes the button effects,
while probably not so much worn, are
considered the more fashionable, and in
the lace effects the Butchers are stronger
in popularity than the straight lace
models. Swing lasts are shown in great
variety and those Of the conservative
shapes are more favored than the ex-
IRENE freaks" Blunt and bull dog
toes are well within the edicts. Strap
