DISPoSITIoN--HEAD.

CATTLE-There was the usual small
Fridays run Of cattle, but the offerings
included a few loads Of choice cornfed
beeves, and 1t did not take dealers Ions 70
clean these UP at good, firm figures, the
best of them selling At 81 .65QI.15. Medium
and common grades were slow sale ana
somewhat easier, and the same was true
as to the fair to medium western range
beeves. Right toppy beeves both cornfeds
week while there has been a decline OF
fully &c on the ordinary run OF beef cattle.
The slump in prices this week has been
due largely to the very liberal supplies, as
there has been q broad demand throughout
from both local packers and shippers. Ths
tone to the trade at the close was rather
weak.
Buyers seemed to be q little more anx-
ious for the few loads OF cows and heifers
that were offered for sale today, and they
changed hands readily at fully steady
prices. Compared with week ago the
market for butcher stock is fully a quar-
ter lower. Right toppy heifers have not
suffered SO much, nor have the canning
grades and stock cows, but on the fair to
medium stuff the trade has been very dull
and unevenly lower from start to finish.
In stookerS and feeders the trade was
very dull today, although the supply on
hand was considerably heavier than at this
time last week. In fact supplies have been
accommodating in spectators hands ever
since the first of the week. and although
prices in general are 25c lower than Mon
day there Is little prospect OF & clearance,
as the country il not taking hold very
freely and is apparently waiting for val
ues TO strike a lower level. Volume OF
business for the week has been fair, but
the tone to the trade is rather bearish.

THE CENTER OF POPULATION.

The center of population is now in
Indiana, but when the national capital
was established it was near Baltimore;
and the recent indications had left the
impression that the center of popula-
ton had gone about as far west as it
would go: but the census actually
shows that in the past ten years the
center has moved 81 miles westward
to IA made in the preceding ten years,
or more than doubled it's movement.
The geographical center of America is
$50 miles west of the center of pop
ulation in northern Kansas.
To be exact, the center of popula-
Stion Is now at point four and one
quarter miles south of Unionville, in
Monroe county, Indiana. In 1890 the
center was a few miles east of Bal
timore, ten years later it had moved
to point twenty miles west of that
city and sby 1910 it was some thirty
miles northwest of Washington. In
1850 1T was approximately twenty miles
to the southeast of Parkersburg, w.
Va, which Is about as far south as it
has ever been. Its ''farthest north
seems to have been its location at the
time of the first census, and it is in
terestiDg to note that as it moved
westward it still continued to cling
very closely to the thirty ninth parallel
of latitude. Between 1850 and 1850
it Travelled a distance of very nearly
seventy miles.
The center of population is not of
such great Importance although 1t
would have considera BILE influence
should there ever be occasion to move
the national capital

TAFT's GOOD EXAMPLE IN LIT
TIE THINGS.

That the franking privilege is much
abused has been so thoroughly proven
that there is no room for debate upon
the subject: but it is in evidence that
the president of the United States does
not exceed his legal privileges in this
direction. No one would think of find
ing fault if all the presidents mail
was franked: but his conscientious
convictions. as well as his respect for
the law, interfere; and when the mail
comes from the White house it is no.
ticeable that many of the letters have
stamps upon them, just as do letters
of other citizens A Washington cor
respondent, calling attention to this
fact, says:
Such is the law for all public serv-
ants, including presidents. The pen
atty for the violation of law in this
matter IL $500 for each offense. Only
four people in the land may use the
mail of the United States free on pri-
vate letters. They are the living wives
of former presidents: Mrs. Garfield,
Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs.
Roosevelt. Special laws had to be
passed comforting this right and COM
pliment upon them. Even though he
is the husband of Mrs. Roosevelt,
Colonel Roosevelt cannot use the mails
freely any more even if on government
business. He is once more a private
citizen, but the right his wife enjoys
would effect him a pretty saving, for
his daily mail is said to be large and
the replies thereto naturally costly in
postage alone"

A HUCKLEBERRY HERO

'.He is a fine fellow, that boy. I
hope you will not begin to cook me I'LL
I've finished my story about him, Tor
/ cannot express myself clearly when
I'm boiling on a hot stove. 1t is worse
than the fierce heat of the sun in an
open field.
Now, work slowly and hear what /
have to tell of Peter Saunders, for
that, / understand, is his name. He
told you that he is the oldest of large
family. OF course, not SO large as
mine, but there are several children an
the little farm, I heard him tell you
he would like TO go to school more. and
he is determined the younger ones
shall do so. His father and mother
work hard. early and late, and SO 10
they all, but they seem happy in their
little home. after all. All the little
ones have been out in the berry pas
ture for the last week or two, gather
ing the fruit, but only the oldest one
could take it to market so far away,
Some of the others visited places near
err home. and the smallest of all could
only lie on the ground in safe place
and watch the others. but that helped,
for the busy mother had more time for
other things. and merry time they all
had together when they reached home.
Perhaps 1t is owing to our peaceful
ness that they never quarrels nor scold,
for good example has a great infiu-
ence, ! am told.
well, Peter and his mother have
decided to devote all the profits of the
berry patch to helping the children in
school this fall with books and clothes,
and I hope they may be successful in
their plans. He is an unselfsh boy,
If ever there was one, and deserves
all the praise / am giving him. I hope
his chance will come sometime, for ne
whispered to ma when they began
picking US that he hoped to use the
ochao1inpr W n IN
he saw he was needed for other work
this fall he said nothing about his own
plans, but contentedly gave way to the
others.
but you are ready to put me into
the kettle and must not rebel against
fate, with so good a pattern set for me
as that boy furnishes. .Good-by. and
thanks for your attention. Next via
ter. when You are enjoying your
hucklaberries in pies and cake, per-
haps you will recall all I have told you
and feel that my life was not mis-
spent if it be a short one
Here the berries went into the kettle
and 1 was left to reflect on what I had
heard. I may never see that boy again
nor ever know his name, for do not
half believe those berries had it right.
But T do believe his manly, honest
bearing will win him a place in life,
and certainly shall not soon forget
my huckleberry hero, and I surely wish
him all success in the future.
Not long ago I read in one of the
current magazines story entitled
1.-THE Courage of the COMMONPLACE ?
There is more of such courage in the
world than we realize or appreciate
Not great occasions alone demand

common, everyday opportunities are

and mind can manage. and praise be to
those who do not fail in meeting the
demands made upon them at such
times. AN IDLER-

have said: "This is no place for me-"
1t wasn't. for there was not damp

the fields. 1t has never been determin

pretty creatures to mud, which seems
to put their taste on the level with
that of the frog. To a young collector
there is nothing more exciting than to
see this butterfly, enamelled in black,
blue and orange, carelessly lettering
beside a mud hole: but he finds it is
alert and quick of wing if he shows
haste in attempting to capture 1t.
If Ursula flies away the experienced
collector sits down and waits for him
to return, and he is seldom disappo1nt-
