THE ROCKING CHAIR.

Missoula Missoulian: We may be
ld-fashioned- we have been told a
good many times that we are-but
we cling to our early fondness for
pie, and in our feeble way, we have
protested against the plan of the diet
ary reformers to abolish this delec-
table triumph of culinary skill from
our menu. Our zeal for reform does
not extend to pie and we have no
use for the man who traduces the pie
and who seeks to a-base it. And now
our Unborn affections have been hurt
again. The reformers propose to
ablish the rocking chair!
Abolish the rocking chair? Perish
the thought. Down with the man
who would do it. The rocking chair
is an institution. 1t is as infinitely
interviewer into the fabric of our ex-
istence as is the Constitution of the
United States, and to seek to remove
the rocking chair to the attick store
room is treason as great as would
be an assault upon the venerable
document which is the foundation OF
the union.
Our earliest recollections are of q
tender resting place against the
shoulder of Mother, as she rocked
back and forth before the fire,
grooming the song that banished ou1
baby griefs. To that rocking chair
and it's dear occupant we carried our
troubles for many a year there too
we bore our joys; there we told the
stories of our little victories and
our childish defeats. 1t was that
rocking chair that kept us young
until the blessed form that sat within
it was laid away beneath the skies
to which she had pointed all those
years as she had uttered her word OF
encouragement and sympathy and
cheer.
Then there came another rocking
chair. A girl sat within it's com
Portable depth and looked across the
hearth and listened. She was q dear
girl and she has become a deare1
woman. Beside her rocking chair
another rocking chair found place
and in that other we found the rest
that made life worth living. The
two rocking chairs have rocked to.
gether for good many years. Al.
ways has the measured rhythm OF
their motion been in accord; Away.
have he years been made happier By
the rocking chairs soothing swing
And the song of the rocking chair
has been Home Sweet Home"
Smaller rocking chairs have found
place beside our two and their ocu.
pants have grown into bigger chairl
of their own. but all of them center
about the home fireside, and praise
God, their occupants have not vel
lost their interest in the evening
story which is read from the rocking
chair of that girl who has now be.
came the mother.

otherwise this morning, about ITO cars be-
Ing estimated. In the neighborhood OF
eighty-rve cars arrived In time for the
early trade and most OF these sold in very
good season at prices generally steady with
yesterdays average cost. Popular opinion
predicted a nickel lower market at the
opening and a few hogs changed hands az
figures weak 10 &c lower during the first
rounds, but the volume Of business was
limited. The time at which salesman dis
posed OF their holdings yesterday had much
TO do with the manner In which each
viewed today's trade. OF course. and the
early decline noted above may be traced TO
this fact In many cases. Safely speaking,
most OF the mornings supply sold In about
the same notches as yesterdays bulk and
movement was reasonably active.
Toward the close OF the session, after
most Of the hogs had been received and
