Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, Feb. 5,1ol2. Cattle supplies were short at all the markets last week, Kausas City receiv- ing twelve thousand head less than same week last year, and the five vest ern m markets combined received 34, GOO less than the same week last year, decrease of Fl per cent. Naturally the market received an uplift, advances ranging from 10 to 25 cents on all kinds Heavy fed steers were the scarcest, and got the greatest gain. To-day the e1e- ments took hand in assisting cattle prices upward, severe storms shutting off supplies at Chicago and Omaha one half from what was expected last week for to-day. The market responded with rise of l0to 15cents today, beef steers recording the hitherto unheard of price for February of eight dollars to-day Lower grade fed steers run from S6 % to $7.25 and that class of steers are helped by competition from feeder buy CTS Monmouth, Illinois, feeders took train of half fat steers from here last week to their feed lots at $6 40 to $6. so. weighing 115O to 1850 pounds. Some panhandle two's sold at S6 25 to-day to go to the country, weighing 7S9 pounds Colorado fed steers brought $6 90 to- day, and some Colorad feeders at $6 90. Quarantines to the number of 1l5 car loads came in last week, and sold at $5 % to S6,30 for the steers. Only six loads arrived in that division to-day, aud these lacking ill quality. Cows, heifers and butcher grades also receiv- ed boost last week, calves a shade stronger at the close, bulls steady. It has been strictly sellers market for ten days, with favorable outlook for d continuance of the same, because of the general scarcity of cattle.
 Hog supplies last week showed fur thinning, standing only little above receipts for the same week last year. Packers made a show of fighting the market the last half of the week, but average prices for the week were cents above the average for the proceeding week. Run is 5000 today, market 5 higher, though closing sales were dis. appointing. Top price to-day was $6 40 bulk of sales .O0 to S6 35, weights a. bove POO pounds selling at $6.10 and upwards. Average weight is rising stead fly, and will stand above 200 pounds for the first week in February.
 Sheep and lambs made d poor show ing on the sales sheet last week, closing the week about z5 lower than close of previous week but uneven. Receipts for to-day are 5000 head, market 10 to 15 higher top lambs $6.6O, yearlings S54O, wethers $4.60, and ewes S4 10. Commission men do not know what to advise their customers to do, so fall back on the safe counsel of telling them l to make their stuff good, and then let it come along. Moderate receipts are ex- pected during February.

Plural And Singular

We'll begin with box, and the plural is boxes,
 But the plural of OK should be oxen. not oxes.
 Then one fowl is goose, but two are called geese,
 Yet the plural of mouse should ne yer be meese; You may find a lone mouse or whole lot of mice,
 But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
 If the plural of man is always called men,
 Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? ns~ The COW in the plural may be COWS or kline,
 But d bow if repeaed is never called bine.
 And the plural of VOW is VOWS, not vine,
 And if speak of foot and you show me your feet,
 And give YOU boot, would q pair be called beet?
 If one is a tooth, and whole set are teeth?
 If the singular's this and the plura is these,
 Then one may be that, and three would be those,
 Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
 And the plural of cat is cats, not cose- We speak of brother and also of brethren,
 But though we say mother we never say methren.
 Then masculine pronouns are he, his, and him.
 But imagine the feminine, she, shis, and shim.
 So the English, think, you all will agree,
 Is the most wonderful language you ever did see.- Penny Pictorial.

THE SUCCESS OF LEAP YEAR PARTY IS
 ASSURED
Arrangements Made to Make Ball for Sweet Charity the Premier Social
 Event of Year

All set for the Leap Year Bal,
 Some of the boys are still left worrying on the anxious seat because the dear ladies think 1t well to inflict a little suffering or them at times or perhaps of na- tive timidity due to inexperience in indicating so formally their preference for a beau with whom to trip the light fantastic. But the men folks are hereby officially notified to be in readiness to say "Yes, dee-lighted," when the la dies with becoming blushes and confusion make known their choice, perhaps not the first choice, but nevertheless a prefer ence over many other elegibles.
 It is to be further understood that husbands and wives are to exercise the rare but absolute privilege of going outside the i'm mediate family in the selection of partners for this social function, the only condition being that reasonable care be exercised in avoiding unpleasantness among rightful owners.
 The committee, of which Mrs. J. B. Drumm is chairman, has la- bored increasingly for some weeks in their efforts to make the event successful financially as well as socially and all indications point to deserved reward fo. it's ener- gies.
 The purpose of this benefit, as is well known, Is one that should appeal to every resident of Wins low. The local cemetery has oeen allowed to fall into a delap- Idated condition because of no previous concerted action to pre- serve its respectable appearance, and the chief object Of the pres ent movement is tD create a fund with which to purchase an addition that will soon be re- quired, as well as to make such improvements on the present site as are most needed This fund Is to be kept intact for the present and as soon as the title to the ground is determined and q regular cemetery organization legally established it will be turn ed over to the proper committee or officer indicated by such or ganization.
 Mrs B. Drumm, when inter- viewed to-day on the progress of the committees work thus far said: We feel grati6ed with as- surances of access and that is always sufficient recompense for hard work What we are most particular about having we'll un- derstood is the fact that we earnestly desire the cooperation of every individual and local or ga1ization because the benefit derived from the enterprise will be shared by all. The fact that the Altar Society has the pres ent affair in charge has no signif- icance whatever insofar as mak- ing it denominations project is considered. The public in gen eral use the local cemetery in common so that we hope all the people of Winslow, regardless of denomlnations, will give active support to this worthy under taking. Everything possible will be done by the committees to make the party enjoyable for all who attend whether as spec tators or dancers. '

A Way To Listen

They were evidently spending their first night at the concert, and the young man was telling the young lady all a. bout it. They talked loudly, for the young man was trying to make an inn pression on all within aten-foot radius. He always anticipated the performers and finally held his hand to his mouth as he said in an undertone:
 ''Deary, did you. ever try to listen to music with your eyes shut? It's heaven ly."
 Thereupon man two rows behind leaned forward and said:
 "Young man, try it with yonr mouth shut It'll be a relief."- Goodwi s Weekly.

A Mail Order Deal

Down in Oklahoma the other day a man went into store to buy a saw He saw the kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $l 65, the dealer said.
 "Good gracious said the man. q can get the same thing from Sears, Roe- buck and Co.,, for $l.35"
 That's less than it cost me-" said the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail order house just the same.''
 "All right" said the customer. s'You can send it along and charge it to my account
 Mot on your life, the dealer replied. "No charge accounts. You can't do busi- ness with the mail order house that way. Fork over the cash"
 The customer compiled.
 Now cents for postage and cents for money order"
 "What-''
 Certainly, you have to send letter and a money order to a mail order house, you know"
 The customer, inwardly raving, kep, to his agreement and paid the nickel.
 ''Now 25 cents for expresssge
 "Well, I'll be-" he said, but paid it, saying "Now hand me that Saw and I'll take it home myself and be rid of this foolery."
 "Rand it to you? Where do you think you are? Your in Oklahoma and I'm in Chicago, and you'll have to wait two weeks for that saw.''
 Whereupon the dealer hung the saw on peg and put the money in his cash drawer.
 That makes $1 67,' he said. "It has cost you cents more and taken you two weeks longer to get it than if you had paid my price in the first place."
