Art Comes HIah.

"a New York lady" said Partisan,

Limitations Of Practice.

In an Iowa town an action for eject
ment was tried "by the court without
a jury" the suit having been brought
by a religious society to recover pos
session of cemetery. The defendant,
q physician In active practice, had
bought the ground for the use OF the
society, but when afterward he sew
cred his connection with the organiza-
ton 1t was discovered that he had tax
en- the title In his own name and evil
IDENTIFY intended to hold on to It. After
duly Weighing the evidence the court
ordered judgment for the plaintiff
stating briefly the reasons for the de-
cision, whereupon defendants coun-
sci desired to be more fully enlight-
ened in the premises.
Certainly" said his honor. "In ad-
dillon to what l have already said,
there are but two other reasons. One
Is that the church seems to need a
cemetery, and the other Is that the
doctor has failed to show that his prac-
tice is sufficiently large to necessitate
his maintaining his own burying
ground"

Names of Flowers.

1t Is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers get their names. Many
were named after individuals. For
instance, fuchsias were SO called be-
cause they were discovered by Leo
nard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camellia was so called for
missionary named Kamel, who
brought some magnificent specimens
Of the flower to France from Japan.
He called it the rose Of Japan, but his
friends changed 1t to camellia. Mag
nolias were named In honor of Pro-
fessor Magnol de Montpelier, who
first brought the beautiful tree to
France from America and Asia. Be-
cause 1t trembled with the wind Is
the meaning Of anemone. The Latin
word to wash is lavare, and lavender
received its name because the Romano
put the flowers into water when they
washed to perfume their hands.-New

Live Stock Letter

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug.
9, 1909. Cattle sellers had the
advantage last week, and scored
the unusual feat for the month OF
August Of getting an advance Of
10 to Is cents on killing grades
during the week. Stockers and
feeders remained about STEADY
during the W eek with a little
less urgency in the demand than
might have been expected in
view of the splendid crop pros
poets in every direction. The
run of cattle was $4,000 head
last week, including $500 calves
which was about 20 per. cent
smaller than same last week. Re
ceipts of cattle today more near
ly approach III "mal for this tine
Of the year, 10000 head here,
including 5000 calves. Good fed
steers, she stuff anG stOckers and
feeders are steady today, calves
strong, but grass s GERS are 5 to
Is Lower. learling steers mad,
$7.4O and $3.50 today, and heavy
steers 1925, as high as any time
last week, grass steers from Ma
tive territory 1925 to $500, grass
COWS and heif'"-t $50. to $3.50,
bulls $500 to $4.25, calves $500
to 800. Prospective trade in
stock and feeding cattle this
I'LL IS occupying a good deal of
the attention Of dealers now and
a good many believe that prices
Will remain up to the present fig
ures through the fall months in
spite of increased receipts. The
feeders sell at $4.00 70 1910, and
stock steers $500 to 500. More
good quality heavy feeders
could have been handled in the
last week than were offered.
Receipts of hogs last week
were only $4,000 head here, not
much more than half the rum pre-
vlOus week, and the big contrac-
ton in he supply was result
OF THE near panic effected by the
packers in the. market previous
week. Packers hung back last
week but wer unable to resist the
upward trend of the market due
to light runs and close showed al
advance of 20 to % cents for the
week. The hog market is a
hand-tO-mouth affair, as packers
refuse to put up the expensive
product, and the protest over
prices is taking on stentoriar
tones. In view of conditions il
would sem good policy to mar
ke- stock without delay after il
becomes suitable. Run here to
d,y is 5000 hogs, market 10 to Il
lower with slight recovery at tn
close, top $50, bulk $3.50 tC
Si.75.
Sheep and lamb supply is
light as most of the natives crop
is in, and range stock is not NOV
ing in very large numbers yet
The market is stronger since tht
middle of last week, and the
light run of 1000 head here toda,
is selling a shade higher. ToI
