stoeker. and Feeders.

Chicago, June "A quiet close to
week that has witnessed a lot of good
action in the stock ana feeding cattle
trade. Only q few scattering loads
and odd lunches were included in to-
days receipts and they were picked
up on a steady basis. The fresh sup
pig included d lead or choicely bred
1919 pound. meaty Angus feeders that
sold TO a Upton. Iowa, feeder at SI.95.
Yard dealers had some 500 cattle on
hand at tbs. sessions opening, most Of
them feeders of fleshy class. and coun-
try demand was slow to develop tho
fairly good clearance of the supply
was promised.
Trading is on basis largely 100 loc
higher than a week ago on about
everything of stocker and feeder class
The weeks supply has run very largely
to 500 to 1100-pound medium and good
heshed feeders. there having been
pronounced scarcity thruout of thin
young cattle of grazing class. Demand
for the latter has not been met and
all classes of stock cattle are selling
right up to the best levels Of the year.
while the heavier and feshier feeders
are making within 10Mlo cents of the
seasons best levels and 25M35 cent adj
vances on about all grades are shown
over prices current during the fore
part of Nav.
The advance has lifted good 20 choice
light stocker steers to a $500 80 ba-
sis, while choice selected steer yearlinSs
are reaching up around IS, and s1.So
6S.10 has been paid for a number of
loads of high class feeders. with ss.15
paid for a few loads. Just fair sort
of stocker stuff is going around S1.2o
and only bad colored throw -out sort

are making 81 and better. stock heif-

to the country -at s5.25 d $50.
Both prices current and their failure
to attract marketward many thin young

on the part Of graziers and feeders as
to future trade conditions. regardless
Of proposed tariff legislation that might
be construed as harmful to producers
Of this country. There is We'll founded

HIS TOMB AMID THE WAVES
Chateaubriand Buried at st. MaIo,
Where Grave Is Covered by Sea
at High Tide.

Americans by the thousand visit
Mont st. Michel every year, there to
explore the famous old monastery
and feast on the renowned omeiettes
OF Madame Poularde, and most of
them tarry en- route at st. MaIo, the
gay watering place on the Brittany
coast, whose grim past is recalled
by the fortiGcations by which it is
begirt.
Chateaubriand, the father of
French romanticism, is buried at ST..

namcless, which, at high tide, is COW

maitce, in new work on ''the great

tells how the author bargained with
the mayor of st. Malo for the grant
OF rock whereon to plant his tomb,
which ne stipulated was to be a
simple stone with cross. without
name, amidst the waves. ''He was

DESK USED BY HAWTHORNE
Famous Author Worked q Il WhsR
He Was Surveyor Of the Port
Of Salem.

The desk at which Nathaniel
Hawthorne worked when he was sur
veyor Of the port of Salem, during
a period in the Polk administration,
is still in existence in Salem, care
fully preserved by its custodians.
Hawthorne secured the appointment
as surveyor through the Intervention
OF his Democratic friends, who were
influential at Washington at the
time. Senator Fairfield of Maine
was especially active in the matter,
and the munificent salary of 81, 200
enabled this somewhat financially
straitened literary genius of the
first rank to live in comparative
comfort during his four years of in
cumbency.
With the election of Taylor and
Fillmore the Salem Wings conspired
to have Hawthorne supplanted by an
official of their own political stripe,
and the result of this unnecessary
prescription against one of Salem's
most noted native sons was his
greatest story, "The Scarlet Letter"
Appropriately, too, "The Scarlet
Letter" is prefaced with an intro
duction, Renaissance of the au-
thor's experience at the dingy seat
of Salem's customs. The collector
at the time was Gen. James Miller,
the hero of Lundy's Lane, and Haw-
thorne's references to the man who
could say in an exciting emergency.
"I'll try, sir" lends interest to what
is really one of the most attractive
portions of the book.
Hawthorne refers to this identical
desk in his minute description of the
business room of the custom house.
Gan old pine desk with a three
legged stool beside it, is the way he
referred to this equipment.

ZEAL LITTLENEss OF MAN
vdnsy Smith Could SEQ No Reason
for Him to Revel In His
Greatness.

Take some quiet, sober moment Of
life and add together the two ideas
IF pride and of man; behold him, a
creature of a span high, stalking
through infinite space in all the
grandeur of littleness. Perched on
a little speck of the universe, every
wind of heaven strikes into his blood
the GOODNESS of death; his soul fleets
from his body, like melody from the
string; day and night, as dust on
the wheel, he is rolled along the
heavens, through a labyrinth of
worlds, and all the systems and Gre
atoms Of God are flaming above and
beneath.
ls this creature to revel in his
greatness? Is this a creature to
make to himself crown of glory, to
deny his own flesh and blood and to
mock at his fellow, sprung from that
dust to which they both will soon
return? Does the proud man not
err? Does he not suffer? Does he
not die? When he reasons, is he
never stopped by difficulties? When
he acts, is he never tempted by
pleasures? When he lives, is he
free from pain? When he dies, can
he escape from the common grave
Pride is not the heritage OF man
humility should dwell with frailty
and atone for Ignorance, error and
imperfection.-Sydney Smith.

DURATION OF LIFE.

Button, the naturalist, makes the
following calculations on the dur
ability of life: From the best calcu-
lations only one out of 1910 reach
the age of one hundred. Of 1000
infants nursed by the mother, about
300 die; of the same number
nursed out 500 die. More people
live to great age in elevated stu
atoms than in lower ones.
Of the children born alive, one
fourth die before eleven months, one
third before the twenty-third month,
nalf before their eighth year, two
thirds of mankind die before their
thirty-ninth year, three-fourths be-
fore their fifty-frst year, and of
about $4,000 only one survives a
whole century.
