NO RELIEF FROM THE
 HIGH PRICE OF BEEF
Statistician Declares Recent DrOuth Is Responsible
 for High Prices

Chicago, August s.--cheap prices for beef based on more abundant sup ply of cattle cannot be expected for several years, according to NJ. F. Hor- inc, statistician of the Union Stock Yards and Transit company who s- sued a statement today commenting on tho record high prices paid for cattle in the Chicago market this week
 In his opinion the only relief lies with the farmers of the corn belt who with improved methods of farming and may be able to produce beef cattle in larger numbers and at lower cost in the next few years.
 "If anything were needed to prove the scarcity of beef cattle in this country and that the law of supply and demand governs prices at the market It has been furnished the last two days in the sale of numerous shipments of beef steers on the Chicago market for from s10 to $10.25 per hundred pounds, the highest price paid since civil war times.
 "The present situation is easily ex- plained. The drouth of 1909 and 1910 throughout the southwestern range re- gions and Mexico and the general drouth of 1910, which existed through out western Canada and all the west ern and southwestern range regions, together with the partial drouth and extremely severe winter of 1911 re. duced the already deficient supply of breeding and young stock to such an extent that general scarcity of all kinds of cattle throughout the country as now manifested became inevitable.
 As it will take from three to five years to build up new supply at the very best possible rate and under the most favorable conditions an abund- ance of beef at reasonably cheap prices need not be looked for during several years to come. Certainly no more fa- vorable opportunity has ever existed than is now presented to those who are fortunate enough to have the breeding stock and prepared to raise cattle for market.

The Dance of Willibrod
] the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
 There are various places where the dance as a religious rite still survives. The practice is by nv means confined to the Orient. One ceremony of this sort oc- CUTS in the Luxembourg town of Echter- mach at Whltsuntide. 1t takes place in connection with procession to the tomb of Willibrod, patron saint of the city.
 At a. m. the town is gay with wreaths, flags and streamers, and thousands of people fill the streets, stretching In a double row across the bridge. The pro cession starts. with its banners, tapers and singers. together with the clergy and all chant the litany of the saint
 Instruments all along the line take up the air and soon many thousands of feet are moved in dance. This is sort of decorous polka, three steps forward and two back. The old and the young, the hale and tho sick all unite to the best CT their ability. They dance for health. for the happiness of their parents and friends and for the welfare of their do- mestic animals.
 This pageant consumes the better part of ave hours to go tfsree-quarters of a mile.

Chicago, August s.-"If women knew that eating apples will do more to make their complexions beautiful than all the race remedies In the world they would eat them morning. noon and night said U. Grant Border of Baltimore today. in addressing the International Apple Ship pers' association.
 Five years from now when the count less apple orchards that have come into existence in the last few years begin to bear full crops the annual apple produc- ton of this country will exceed coo barrels said Mfr.

Brave Men and Cowards

From the New York Press.
 A member of Congress from the south. who saw service In the Confederacy, in discussing the question so often put to old soldiers, Were you frightened?' re- marks upon the stranseIy contradictory phases of human nature brought out by military service.
 He tells of one of his comrades who was coward at home, at school and in camp, but in battle w.s one of the brav- est of men. Elsewhere this man would resent no insult, and could not be forced into any personal conflict, and that not from any principle, but from pure cow ardice. In battle he was the calm, brave embodiment of the fighting spirit The narrator rode by his side in battle for half an hour after musket ball had torn his foot to pieces, yet he made no sign, uttered no complaint, but fought like the splendid soldier he was, until his palor attracted attention. Then only in response to anxious inquiries he told of his wound and of the agony it was giving him.
 In the same engagement was real coward, who. would fight no battles in camp or out of it. When the first gun was fired he dropped out of line and went back. Punishment had no effect upon
 
 rene coward the narrator ever had met. and was tolerated in the command only orf account of his unfailing good humor. his kind heart and his general usefulness. He was the regimental historian, little verbose but usually accurate. day or two after a battle he would turn up in camp with a detailed account of the engagement With education he would have made useful war correspondent. He had reduced the noble art of taking care of himself to an exact science, and had the happy knack Of picking up all the news without getting hurt
 Another queer fellow was perhaps the best armed man in the Confederate army. Beside his gun he carried two splendid cavalry pistols and a murderous looking bowie knife incased, in a silver scab- bard. In camp he would fight any man or set of men on the slightest provoca- tion Yet this man never fired shot at the enemy in all his four years service; nor did he permit the enemy to fire at him if he could prevent it. on the battlefield he was an unobstrusive constitutional coward. Occasionally he talked of his infirmity with those whom he liked At such times he freely admitted he had not spark of moral courage or personal pride when he heard a hostile gun fred and it was physically impossible for him to remain within the danger line on such occasions. To have compelled him to face the enemy, even in a mere skirmish, possibly would have caused his death from simple fright.

Martial Law in Bluefields

Bluehelds, Nicaragua, August S.-(By Mail to New Orleans)-As a result of the revolution started by Gen. Luis Mena, martial law was declared here today and no person Is permitted to leave Bluefelds without a permit from the governor.
 It was reported today that Gen. Julian Ires, the liberal leader. with 150 men, had left Bocas Del Zorro, Panama, for Bluefields, on board the schooner Gra- nada. The government gunboat Sequia left this evening to meet the Granada.
 It has been impossible for the people of Buefields to obtain information from the interior concerning the progress of the revolution. The report regarding the activity of General Iras and other excited liberals cannot be confirmed, although the belief is general that they have been for some time planning an independent revolution in Nicaragua
 The schooner Granada, which recently fitted up in New Orleans by persons who are friendly with the liberals and after her departure from New Orleans her movements in the gulf were closely watched by revenue cutter officials.

LONDON PAPERS
 SCORE U. $. SENATE

London. August 9.--The Daily Mail in an editorial this morning on the Senate's vote on the provision of the Panama canal bill exempting American ships from the payment of tolls and the contention of Senator cummins that the United states will be free to re- pudiate any treaty, says:
 That idea would put back the whole world by a century and might have far reaching consequence beyond the ques- ton of proposed exemptions forbidden by the Hay Pauncefote treaty. If there is any doubt as to the interpretation of the treaty we are willing to refer the issue to The Hague tribunal and the power, in such circumstance, refusing arbitration thereby declares itself in the wrong
 The morning Post makes similar protest.

The Best Kind of Vacation
from Leslle's Weekly

IVIlI I-toIIt S W ScNff T"
 To be productive of lasting benefit a vacation should mark a complete change in ones environment and habits. Coun- try people find this in going to the city, while city folks flee to the country; those living in the salt water go to the moun- tains. and vice versa. For this reason camp life has become so deservedly pop ular. The dweller in a modern city needs to get away for while from tele- phones, elevators. subways, automobiles and all the multitude of things that make life easy and convenient and get back to primitive simplicity. Tent life in the woods or beside lake or stream constitutes the biggest possible contrast with the artificial life of the city, and a vacation thus spent means not only physical re- cuperation. but tonic to the spirit. a re- newal of kinship with natures elemental forces
