Meat Boycott.
EXPECT BETTER PRICES
AND ARE FULLY CONVINCED
THAT NEXT WEEK THERE
WILL BE IMPROVED DEMAND
FOR THEIR PRODUCTS.
(American News SeIvice)

Boston, Jan 29.-The beginning of
the boycott in Boston today finds the
meat trust in it's old position of dis
regard for public sentiment. In a
confidential circular to it's agents on
January 26 the Swift company issued
orders that the agitation for lower
prices shall be disregarded and the
instruction is given that the various
meats shall be sold for every cent
that it is possible to get. The letter
follows:
Copy Of Letter.
Branch House Managers:
DO not want you to be at all influ-
enced by present newspaper agitation
regarding trade conditions. Please do
not make any talk about same what
ever. but keepj moving right along
and sell what beef. sheep and lambs
we have shipped you for every cent
it is possible to obtain. Shipments
are costing high, and Swift & Co. are
very insistent that houses show reas.
enable results do not believe that
present conditions are anything that
will last and we fully believe that
there will be improved demand next
week and improved prices to go with
it. Yours respectfully,
Swift & Co"

NEW TYPES OF RIVER BOATS

and the facilities for loading and I'M
loading bettered much more than ten
fold.
AS yet little has been done for
permanent deep channel In the Mis-
souri,, but the appropriation for the
work in the latest rivers and harbors
bill is encouraging and insures a be-
ginning on the right scale. River
boats of a new pattern will come IN
when a channel is assured, as has
been the case on the Rhine and nu-
merous other rivers of Europe. Two
steamboats, recently lost in the Mis-
sissippi river by striking the bank or
other obstruction, would not have
gone to the bottom If provided with
steel compartment hulls. Existing
river boats have been built on the old
models, and, the uncertainty In the
depth of channels has been a barrier
to a general spirit of Improvement.
Steel construction, propellers, turbines
and a speed of over twenty miles an
hour have become an old story on
ocean and lakes. Little that is new
has been tested on the rivers. But In
the light of what has been accom-
plished in Europe, the steady, success
full navigation of rivers is not prob
lem at all, but an assured thing. A
demonstration of improved navigation
on the so-called intractable Missouri
would be a fine start for new river
conditions.

Detectives Cassassa and McKenna,

raided a three-card monte game at
Sixth avenue and Twenty-eighth

Detective Cassassa tried to explain
the game to the magistrate, who still
looked puzzled Finally Cassassa put
three cards on the desk before the
Judge. y.
Now, your honor, pick out the ace"
he said.
The magistrate did. Cassassa was
surprised, to put it mildly. He dealt
the cards again. The magistrate again
pointed to the ace Then he did it a
third time. Respect for the majesty
of the law prevented Cassassa from
acting as Bret Harte's characters did
under similar circumstances toward
All Sin.
When the laughter in court had sub

it at certain angles, while on the

AS Roger Wayne passed along the
hotel corridor on his way down to
dinner door on his right opened. A
girl of 20 stepped into the corridor
and advanced straight to Rogers
side, holding out to him a black
box, six inches square and two inches
high.
Will you do me a great favor?"
she asked in a clear, musical voice.
please throw this into the bay to-
night. And you are not to open it.
Will you do it-for me?''
There was slight pause before the
last two words. Roger took the box,
staring blankly at the girl. She was
well dressed, petite, with frank gray
eyes and masses of dead-black hair.
But l do not understand"
DO you need to understand? Tell
me that you will do what ask"
"of course will do it, and"
Thank you! Thank you!"
She turned and re-entered the room
from which she had emerged.
Roger thrust the box into his
pocket and went slowly down the
stairs. He had arrived at Pine Bay,
a summer resort on one of the great
lakes, but two hours before. Thus far
he had met no one at the hotel whom
he knew. What was the meaning of
the girls strange errand?
He had hardly finished his dinner
when she entered the dining room.
With her was pretty blonde maiden
of about her own age, hatchet-faced
chaperon and genial, middle-aged
man whom Roger. was positive he
had seen before.
When Roger had finished eating he
left the house and sauntered leisurely
down to the shore. A wharf ran far
out into the bay, affording a stopping
place for the steamers that touched
at the tiny village. The young man
stopped down and gathered his hands
full of fat stones that covered the
beach. As he walked along the dock
