Irma LaReine Barnes. This sweet
little babe is dead. She was the
only child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Barnes. Born Jan. 18th, 1908. Died
Jan. 18th, 1909. Unusually bright
and sweet, she was the light, the
love and the Joy of the household. God
made her fair and sweet and holy
and she went home to him as only
one who had been gone a little while
Beautiful flowers from loving hearts
covered her little grave, but she
herself was a lily, and as a lily,
sleeps in the last unbreathing beauty
Of death and we who stay behind low
to think that somewhere amid more
beauteous scenes she waits, resting
in Gods care, until we come.
We shall miss thee, Irma. miss thee
In the gloom of future years.
Fond hearts will strew bright flowers
Ger the grave where thou art lain.
Not here we'll meet,
But we shall meet again. x.

1t is such q remarkable cure, and so
positive In its action, that Otis Purdy
goes SO far as to guarantee it to cure

A complete outfit, which consists
of a hard rubber pocket inhaler, a bot
tie of Hyomei, and a unique dropper
for filling the inhaler, only costs one
dollar, and If an extra bottle is af-
forwards needed, the price is only
so cents.
Hyomei is a healing, a~ntiseptic bal
sam, taken from the mighty eucalyp-
tus trees in the health-giying forests
of Australia, where diseases of the

ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET.

Natl Stock Yards, ILL.,, Jan. 10.
1S09.-AThe cattle run so far this week
has been moderate and the arrivals
included nothing In the line of choice
to prime steers. Yesterdays market
was fully steady, and to-day's trade
was on an active and strong basis,
yet killers are still pretty well loaded
up with beef from last weeks liberal
run. and they are complaining bitter
ly Of bad beef markets. However,
our opinion is that receipts will CON
tinue moderate this week and a few
more days of light supplies will start
a reaction towards better prices, with
the medium killing steers and heifers
and showing most improvement.
Hog receipts 10000. Demands good
from all sources. Trade generally 10
higher than yesterday; top $3.50. Bulk
of all the hogs $6.15 to $685.. Pack
ers paid up to $3.50 for their best
hogs to-day. Outlook strong next Few
days, and we repeat, it looks like a
good time to market good hogs.
Sheep receipts $500. Market open
ed steady. The best lambs here
brought $3.50, and they vel not as
good as yesterdays 81. rs lambs. The
trade weakened just before moo on
increased arrivals. and at the close,
sheep and lambs sold 25c lower thar
yesterdays average, with the year
lings off 10 to 15c; best mutton sheer
5 to Toe. Best yearlings to-day $685..
We do not look for any material In
crease in supplies, and consequently
a little or no further decline in val
ues this week.
