THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held In the West.

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There Will be
horses from Canada, from Ohio, from
Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds of cattle coming
are the Shorthorn herds of Carpen-
ter & Ross of Mansfield, Ohio;
Thomas Johnson & Son of Columbus,
ohio: C. E. Clark of Minnesota;
Frank Harding of Wisconsin; The
Elmendorf Farm of Kentucky; w. j.
Miller of Iowa; A. c. Binnie of Iowa;
]. e. Bales G. Son of Iowa, and many
others, all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best in the country.
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada, all or the
breeds being represented.
1t is expected that the car load OK
hibit of feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts of the coun'
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end of the Denver
show always attracts considerable at
tention. The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and
fancy prices and the big breeders OF
the east bring their cattle, sheep and
horses here and sell the best OF them
to the western men. This is where
the show is doing a great work. II
is placing within the reach OF the
western breeders the best the country
HAS in live stock and within very

$3.50 a year, and there was keen COM

was turned over to him. To the as

defeated.

of the Democratic leaders gloomily.

E@HE GREAT hall clock. sta.
toned opposite the foot OF
the stairs, struck two.
From his bed the Littlest
- Boy listened with sense
of awe. Never before had
he heard 1t strike so late an hour.
Once. indeed, he had heard 1t strike
ten, but usually it had struck eight
and when next he was awake 1t was
striking six and morning had come.
The Littlest Boy lay and listened.
The house was impressively still. The
only sounds audible were the stately
ticking of the monitor clock below,
and the regular breathing of the Big
gest Boy and the Biggest Girl in the
room adjoining.
The Littlest Boys eyes were wide
open and gazing into the velvet black
ness close above his face. When
he had gone to bed 1t had been Christ

the line of demarkation, but 1t oc-
Cured to him that now it was Christ

He wondered If Santa Claus had
come yet. Before the grate-fire, down
in the library, were ranged three
chairs; a rocking-chair for the Biggest
Girl, a straight-backed, ordinary chair
for the Biggest Boy, and huge, roomy
armchair for himself. In addition, he
had hung up his stockings to the
mantel.
He tried to picture to himself how.
