(From Fridays Journal.)


The cattle market at North Port
land suddenly developed weakness
and prices are from 1Oc to 15c lower.
Practically all OF the buyers are fill
ed up and stuff that would have
readily brought $6.40 few days ago,
sold this morning at $6.25. 1t is stat
ed that one concern has 1000 sur
plus cattle on feed here and others
are equally situated. At this time
there is no demand for cattle, except
forced one
Outside of a few hogs there was
nothing available in the stockyards
today except cattle and a handful of
sheep. The trade is quite well sup
piled with stock and for that reason
early purchases were not heavy. The
trade is practically as previously re-
ported.
A typographical error was made in
the cattle sales yesterday when sew
eral lots of steers were reported sold
at $3.50. Nothing has been sold
here above $3.50 recently and the
lots in question did not bring above
$3.50.

To another neighbor she said:

Boston Efforts which have been
made to decrease the high cost of liv-

which is to decrease the higher cost
of dying. This is to be accomplish
ed by the organization of the United
Undertaking company, an association
of Boston business men, who will
not attempt to compete with under
takers but to reason with them.
The company which is semi-benev-
olent in its purpose and nation wide
in its scope, is the outcome of q dis
cussion recently held at a conference
of clergymen At that time municipal
control was urged. Since then pub
lie control has been substituted as the
remedy. The public control, it is
hoped, will be exerted through the
United Undertaking company.
EX-Representative George w. Long

company, and several Boston clergy
men and physicians, among them the
Rev. George A. Gordon of the Old

Old Fashioned "Straw Ride"

"If your time will permit, will you please suggest plan for conducting a straw ride at this time of the year?
 ERWIN G. I fancy there has been no modification of the old fashioned straw ride by req son of the introduction of the all perVa- sive motor car. I had supposed that they were as much a thing of the past as corn husking and quilting bees
 In very far back and ruder times than ours, the reveleds were huddled together upon the straw filling the body of big farm wagon drawn by four horses ana were driven joltingly by moonlight over country roads, singing and talking until a farmhouse or tavern was reached, where supper awaited them. This dis patched, they returned home in the same fashion.
 Later in the century seats were provided for the girls, and the boys sat crosslegged, deep in the straw.
 There may have been lots of fun in the expedition Given youth, health, high spirits, and a savory supper and youth requires little more to make up jolly frolic."

The Best Cough Jyrup is Easily Made at Home
Costs Little and Acts Quickly. Money Refunded If It Fails.

This recipe makes pint of cough syrup, and saves you about $2.00 as com. pared with ordinary cough remedies. It stops obstinate coughs-even whoopinR cough-in 8 hurry, and is splendid for sore lungs, asthma, croup, hoarseness and other throat troubles.
 Mix one pint of granulated sugar with F pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty cents worth) in pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. Take 8 teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Tastes good.
 This takes right hold of cough and gives almost instant relief. It stimu. lates the appetite, and is slightly laxa- tive--both excellent features.
 Pinex, as perhaps you know, is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and the other natural healing pine clements.
 No other preparation will do the work of Pinex in this recipe, although strained honey can be used instead of the sugar syrup, if desired.
 Thousands of housewives in the United States and Canada now use this Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe. This plan has often been initiated, but the old success. full formula has never been equaled. It's low cost and quick results have made it immensely popular.
 A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded. goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for you. If not, send to The Pinex Co., It. Wayne Ind,

TALENTED BIRMINGHAM GIRL
 WINS PRIZES IN ART

Miss Lillian Orr has just received notice of the successful entries of a number of her bits of art work which she sent recently to the State Fair in Meridian, Miss.
 Miss Orr is the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Cyrus Putnam Orr. and was one of the popular debutantes of last winter. But like many society girls of the past few seasons, she has been something more than butterfly" interspersing her hours of gayety with the sterner ones given to hard work: the character of her painting and her jewelry work has thus greatly. improved, and it is not surpris- Ing that in an exhibition showing the work of many, hers should be supreme.
 In the exhibition held in Meridian, Miss Orr won prize in every department that she entered. In all, there were seven first prizes and one second. The variety of her first prize articles is indicative of her versatility. They include brass bowl. a lavalliere in the jewelry class u painting in watercolor. an interior deco ration for library. a book plate. 2

 What a queer coincidence" Miss Hamilton observed. I've so often been taken for Nazimova. very singular thing occurred in Grand Rapids once. Nazimova and I were praying there the same week. We left for another city, the same city, on the same train, one evening. My baggage failed to arrive in time, and they were good enough to hold the train for me, and you can imagine my surprise when I was informed afterward that they had thought that I was NaZi- nova"
 Have you ever played any of the roles that she has?" I asked and what plays have you been imp

 And that future, does it embrace com edy, tragedy, melodrafna-what? ?" I asked.
 "I have no ambition 10 be a second Bernhardt. nor yet remale Henry Irv- ing" said Miss Hamilton smilingly, "but I do want very much to be a great ac- tress I prefer to see comedy when I go the theatre, but I prefer to play dramatic roles. Somehow they are so much more satisfactory
 "Tell me how you happened to go on the stage I asked. feeling morally sure that her answer would be that her voice was the incentive.

I remember when I was study ing I used to be ashamed to let it out to it's full volume and never did until one day it was scared out or me Then l was told that I could do nearly anything ] wanted to if only took care of my voice and used 1t properly"
 "The voice is really the greatest asset that any emotional actress can possess ' Miss Hamilton continued, Beauty of form and of face can always be achieved that sort of thing but the human voice and the naturally beautiful quality can | scarcely be acquired. It can be improved upon. but 1t cannot be made And who is your ideal on the stage, the star that you wish to emuate?" asked
 "To me Julia Marlowe has all the requ- sites that a charming and talented &C., tress should possess" said Miss Hamilton. and no less beautiful to me is Edith Wynne Matthison. Fer spirituality and the exquisite intellectual side of her na- ture is an example worthy to be followed by the best.'

BABY ROASTED AND
 EATEN BY BROTHER

New York, October 21.-Conditions of extreme poverty and privation in Vene- zuela are described in a letter written from Caracas by a correspondent of The Tribune. In the state of Trujillo more than 600 persons have starved to death during the past Season, it is said. The bodies of an entire family whose mem bers starved to death were found in one house, the letter says. -One consequence of the bangs of hunger was the killing of a baby by his two older brothers who then roasted the body and ate it. Much of the blame for these conditions is placed on political conditions which have led to neglect of crops.

 You may pack them in dry sand with a fair prospect of bringing them out all right in the spring. One gardener hangs them up in punches from the rafters of the cellar Another leaves them in coarse bags upon the shelves of the roothouse without other protection from, the frost. He says "a little frosting does not hurt them. I should try the sand in prefer ence to either of the other methods. l have kept bulbs safely thus all winter in a dry cellar.
