At one OF the clubs the other day
two members were arguing about will
power. The conceited man, who was
in the habit Of boring all present with
his pointless tales, said that his Will
was stronger than his friends.
you are wrong there said the
quiet man. and l will prove 1t in this
way. You go and stand in that cor

Of It. You will against me, and bet
you that will have you from that cor

The smart one took the bet, and put
himself in the corner. The quiet man
said. in a commanding voice.
Come out Of that corner!"
The other grinned and shook his
head. The quiet man sat down and
looked at him steadily. Five minutes
passed, and then tho man Of will said,
with sneer:-
Hadn't you better give it up? !
don't feel any influence at all, and ]
can't stand here all the evening"
There is no hurry" said the quiet
man, and I have very comfortable
seat There is no time limit except
that you are to come out before l ask
you twice. and as I don't intend to
ask you again until this day week,

Fresh supply here yesterday was not
large. but country demand has fallen
down sharply. leaving yard dealers
well stocked up with cattle purchases
early in the week and giving them
little hope of effecting decent clear
ance before the weekend.
The decline in prices since last Mon
days strong strong trade. when high
qualified classes of thin young steers
sold about as high as at any time this
season, measures 25 cents on most
classes. Numerous factors in the de-
preston of the trade are pointed out.
Weather conditions Wednesday and
Thursday have been against the trade,
farmers are busy, the sharp advance
in values here last week prompting
many to pursue spring farm work ana
defer their purchases of cattle until
more favorable buying opportunity
was presented. and the generous quota
of low-grade beef steers in this week
run which has materially duied the
trade on such classes and weakened
competition on feeding grades. many
of the fieshier grades of which have
been finding killer outlet recently
above feeder buyers limit have been
conditions having a direct bearing on
the market. Country demand, such as
it is, is centering more strongly than
ever on sood qualified yearlings ana
