ANNOUNCEMENT

In as much as we have ex- hausted our supply of fed beef cattle and it is impossible to get good cattle now for awhile we have decided to close our market for this month. We very much regret to do so but there was never time when fat cattle were so scarce and we desire to keep up the reputation we have with you for always supplying the very best.
 We have cattle on feed that will soon be ready and hope you will not be inconvenienced to any degree by our being closed.
 We thank you for the very liberal patronage you have al ways given us and hope after a few weeks rest to be able to serve you still better
 Very truly yours,

 Whereas, we realize that on account of his pure and unsullied devotions to high ideals in state. craft, by his tireless and inces- sant championship of the rights or man, the leadership of Mr.. Bryan has made the Democratic party strong even in defeat and has finally brought it to the threshold of a great victory; therefore, be it
 Resolved that the Democrats of Arkansas hereby disclaim any part in said attack on Mir. Bryan and repudiate same as uncalled for and hereby declare their faith and confidence in the purity sincerity and statesmanship of William Jennings Bryan"
 The resolution was loudly ap- plauded, and would doubtless have been adopted by acclama- tion had it been submitted to the convention. Under the rules, however, it was referred to the committee of resolutions. which did not meet to report it back. At the afternoon session Mr. Freeman privately informed the secretaries that he desired to withdraw the resolution, and it was not heard from any more.
 It was clearly the sense of the convention, however, undisputed by any, that Bryan is still the biggest man in the party.

them better for several weeks and flush the eve stock each fall, that is, before going to the buck, there are more twins and more milk at lambing time. Many of the troubles with weak lambs and empty udders would be avoided if your ewes were fatter when brought in for the winter.
 Try the plan of flushing your ewes. then follow with good pasture and you will see from results that the plan makes most profits. Have a dry, we'll sheltered roomy yard, with deep shed for the ewes. If you have, neighbors with dogs. have a tight. stout woven wire fence with board at top and bot tom around the sheep fold. Keep the sheep in this yard at night-this will save your sheep, as we'll as your temper.

DIFF [ RENc~ H Cc =,

Buttons make the supreme and mysterious separation of the sexes. And buttonholes. If as a man you will go through your clothes, from oyercoat to the underclothes, you will find that the buttons are on the right and the buttonholes on the left.
 But you will notice that the femi- nine garments close up the other way, and that the woman demands her buttonhole to correspond. Fem mine clothes fold from right to left, masculine from left to right. And there the problem must be left by a puzzled commentator.

CITY THAT PAID ITS BILLS
Good 1t Borrowed $46,ooo,o00 Easily.

Tohio, the capital of Japan, has about two million people. Recently t bought its street railway and elec- tric light systems, paying for them by a sale of bonds to the amount of S4G,000,000, divided among London, Paris and New York.
 The prospectus literature states, TO doubt correctly, that the city has q debt of only fl3 millions of dol- lars ahead of this new loan. Where is the occidental community of two million inhabitants that can com- pare with such a showing? Where is the large city that could borrow, in one Notation, seven times as much IS all its existing debt?
 It would seem that in municipal management the Japanese have something to show us. Apparently the very ancient city of Tokio has been running for centuries on the general principle of pay as you go. It has been struggling along without the highly civilized eNpedient of bor- rowing all it can induce the fnan- ciers to loan, and passing on the bill 10 posterity.-Munsey's Magazine.

GOT EVEN WITH BISMARCK
How Countess Schouvaloff Retalated on the Great Chancellor for
 His Bearish Behavior.

Bismarck was no favorite with women, least of all with clever wom- on who dared to think for them selves and imagine that they could fathom questions of state. He was never tired of snubbing strong minded ladies, putting them down, and stamping on them. One day he paid a visit to the Russian en- bassy at Berlin, where he behaved as usual, houting even the mistress of the house, the Countess SchouyaloG, herself. He took h,s leave at length, 10 the relief of everybody, and pres entity the family mastilI was heard barking at the great man as he passed through the courtyard. Im- mediately the countess ran to the open window, and Bismarck heard her voice, saying to him in a tone of gentle entreatv, "Oh, please, NJ. le Chancellor, don't bite my dog"

Il is not generally known that the

ing animal of North America. In one
year alone (IeIo) 5.soo,ooo muskrat skins
were put upon the market. realizing to the
trappers sum approximately 81, 700, 900.
A large percentage OF the muskrat

In Dorchester county, Maryland, the
marshes are usually leased to the trapper
for half the value OF the catch, In that
county some 100000 skins are taken
annually.
Not only the fur of the muskrat is used
but the meat also. which finds a local
consumption and is shipped TO Baltimore.

Farm Work BY Contract.

Colored people in the section just north
of Frederick, Del, along the bayshore.
seemed to have solved the hardest part of
the labor question for the white persons
lin manner that is satisfactory to both
the employer and the employed. The
negroes have been banding together into
gangs Of from FIVE to twenty. according as
they are needed They appoint one Of
their number as manager of the gang.
He in turn is making contracts with the
farmers to harvest their whole fodder crop
for lump of money.
One of the conditions which the colored
men make and live up to in their agree
ment in their contracts is that each farm.
er's corn crop. no matter how large or
how small, will be all cut and piled in
bne day. They contract for certain day
and harvest the crop on that day. There
| is no delay and the farmer knows Just
how much it IS going to cost him and
lust when his fodder will be cut The
colored men in turn make good wages. all
of the proceeds being divided equally
among the members Of the gang in pro-
portion to the time that they work. One
great advantage to the farmer in this
manner of having his corn harvested is
the fact that he is not troubled in hunting
labor and having to feed them for several
days. while they are on his farm. His
field. where one day standing corn was
growing, can be ready the next day for
Iplowing and getting ready for winter
