KANSAS CITY
LIVESTOCK MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, May g.
Light receipts of cattle here last week
and good demand from killers was
combination that gave the market
an uplift of 25@40c. Fed steers made
the greatest gain, particularly medium
grades, which kind are selling higher
than they have sold in forty years, or
since the reconstruction days follow
ing the Civil war Top steers have
sold at higher figures than at present,
though sevearl lots sold today here at
sS.5OdS.7O, unequalled previously this
year. The supply today is between
1000 and 5000 head here; the market
strong and active. Supply figures for
the year to date at the five leading
markets of the country show only a
6 per cent decrease from same period
last year, which does not furnish an
explanation for the advance of 40 per
cent in values in the same time. Hogs
and sheep have increased at the same
markets so far this year, over last
year, which renders the explanation
still more inadequate. Evidently the
consuming population has gained sew
eral laps on production of meats more
than has been suspected. Distant ter
ritory continues TO send in cattle, else
the shortage at Kansas City would be
much greater than it is Bulk of the
native steers sell at s7.25@S.50. sugar
beet steers $7.25@S.40, hay fed steers
s7.00@7.90, South Texas grass steers
s.. 00@6.00, quarantine fed steers up
to 1925. top native cows $7.25, stock
steers s5.0O@6.75, feeders $6.25@7.15.
Hog supplies are showing unexpect-
ed volume lately. the run last week
aggregating $4,000 head here. Re.
ceipts today amount to 1000 head, 1000
more than the first estimate, and 49,
900 are expected for tomorrow. The
increase in supplies is common at all
the market points, and the situation
became top heavy last week. resulting
| in a net loss of soc in values for the
week. Prices are steady today; top
$40. bulk of sales s7.45@765. The
estimate for tomorrow here is moder
ate, and should it be correct, and
typical of runs elsewhere as well, an
upturn in prices would naturally re
suit.
Few sheep and lambs came in last
week after Thursday, a fortunate cir
cumstance for shippers, as the market
was being undermined the last days
of the week. But the blow fell all the
harder today, when the run OF $4,000
head, consisting Of a varied assert
ment, is selling 25@75c under last
Thursday. The best wooded lambs
only reached $3.50 today. and gooC
clippers stopped at $3.50, fair ones
going at $3.50. Choice Texas wether'
sold at 500 today, nearly a dollar
under last Tuesday, and goats were
being hawked about the sheep yards
with small chance of selling, even a
sharply reduced values, up to noon
Buyers threaten still more punishment
later in the week.

1t was autumn. Hundreds had wend-

Rome and its treasures of dead art

Goethe,s Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe, appears in Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918, Goe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care of DR..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place bottle of red wine and glass
In each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass OF wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah." said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
1t is my birthday" NO" said the
doctor, ut is not your birthday II
falls tomorrow
Only the production of the~almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after a long pause, turn,
ing to the doctor, said; "Then have
got drunk for nothing"

1t is the object of the Hotel s.

SEAS pERILs EVER PRESENT
Msneuvers and Sham Battles Cannot
BE Held Without the Element
of Danger.

II is the great distinction OF the sea
that its peace maneuyers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service seaman
may belong, when he ia on active
service he is always face to face with
"the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, pardonable miscalculation, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten-
tion, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit OF
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in manli-
ness, resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch OF the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers OF
Its own, as the sad tale OF previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs 1t is OF
q nature to make profound impress
sion upon the public. But In relation
to the number of submarines In COM
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve in them do not incur a
risk out OF all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative Of the submarine. Daily
faced in the routine Of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
tion of naval character, and are a
pledge, in no small degree, Of the Sc
curity upon which as a nation we re-
pose.

The Lucky Number.

An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in Paris
Journal. 1t seems that the tickets
were hawked about the Piraeus and
were eagerly purchased from the com.
bined motive of patriotism and the ex.
element attendant upon gamble
One day hawker stopped outside a
milk shop and, seeing an ass standing
by laden with eggs, cheese and but
ter, to tantallze the animal took one
OF his tickets and gave 1t to the beast.
The poor beast was struggling with
It in the hope of extracting something
eatable, when grocer on the opposite
side OF the way who had seen what
was happening, rushed across and res
cued the ticket. That ticket" he
said to the hawker, will win a prize.
and will buy it." He did so and the
ticket drew a prize of thirty thousand
francs.
