NEW YORK. April 7--on re-
suced volume Of transactions To-Day
the stock market was irregular, aro
taken In it's entire course, heavy. III
rertton was given to its course IN lhr
early trading by the rather general
weakness shown on the lefeikh
bourses. where the political situation
again figured as the most important
factor. The necessity imposed upon
the European powers OF bringing
corlpulgion TO bear against Montene~
gro in order to secure the adherence
Of that country to peace terms is ho'
particularly welcomed abroad.
Also the hank statement published
here after the close of the stock eN-
change session on Saturday was con-
Etr1,ed as pretty poor one. and as
indicating no immediate prospect OF
ANYTHING that can be called easy
money. Under the circumstances
conservative financial interests are
rnt inclined to regard over3oyously "a
speculative movement in prices thar
might result in q further increase OF
bank loans

1t was a case of love at first sight
on the part of the Bridgeport girl.
Miss Mcintyre. who was masquerad-
Ing as Lawrence Dessing." was a de-
voted lover, and every night found
the psuedo Lawrence Dessing" at the
home of Miss Aiken.
One Sunday night when "Dessing"
and Miss Aiken were sitting on the
front porch of the latter's home. Pen
dleton appeared on the scene and de-
handed to know why another had
usurped his place. Spurred on by her
new found and devoted slave, "Des-
sing" Miss Aiken angrily dismissed
Pendleton, and ordered him never to
see her again. She then confessed
her love for her companion.
The following night, Miss Mcintyre,
dressed IN a gown of the latest mode,
met Miss Aiken on Market street, this
city. The recognition was mutual Be-
fore Miss Aiken could speak. the
North Wheeling girl gloatingly told
her how she had revenged herself. In

VALUE OF CATTLE INCREASE
District In Mississippi Shown ~ Elk.
ample Of Eradication.

Western Newspape Union News Service
Washington.-That the eradication
OF the cattle tick has increased the
value Of cattle 81 per head in certain
counties OF Mississippi, is the report OF
one of the inspectors OF the Bureau
Of Animal Industry, United States
Department of Agriculture. The cost
to the people for this eradication in
q counties was not more than $780,
600. In return they have received dur.
irg the past year S2,14S,S39 in increas-
ed valuation OF their cattle, and this
increase will be permanent so long
as the counties are free from ticks.
The cost of tick eradication was only
81 cents per head.
That tho tick' mas BEEN ole u tie
greatest deterrents to cattle raising in
the South is a fact which the South
ern farmers are beginning to appre-
ciate. Up to date, however, these
states have not begun to raise the
possible number of cattle per acre.
The failure of Southern farmers to
avail themselves of their full oppor-
tunities in this line has contributed
Importantly to the general cattle short
age, which has amounted to 80 per
cent since 1906 for the whole country.
The rapid increase Of population has
meanwhile made necessary a greater
supply of meat for consumption. AS
a consequence, packers are beginning
to look to other quarters for a supply.
There should, however, be no need OF
our drawing permanently on the sup
plies of other countries while the to-
tai yearly output may be so greatly
improved by tick eradication through
out the South.

His Game and Finds Good Demand

Kalispell, Mont-Charles Ordish, IA
nous over the northwest for his ex-
ploits in capturing mountain lions,
and his assistant, Joe Mothka, have
returned from the Kitchener district
in British Columbia, where they were
called by game wardens to assist in
Kidding the section of band of lions
believed to infest the country. The
supposed lions proved to be huge
wolves, and there were nine Of them
in the pack, but Ordish was success
full, nevertheless. in capturing two
lions of unusual size. The hides are
valued at $25 each and a bounty OF
SIS each was collected by Ordish.
Ordish holds the record, SO far as Is
known, for catching lions. His spec
ialty Is taking them alive without in
jury either to himself or the beasts.
His equipment consists of two well.
trained Airdale dogs, some strong rope
and an inexhaustible supply Of nerve.
Ordish has never been seriously in
jured by the ferocious beasts. although
he has closed with them in tight quar-
tiers many times.
Often a lioA chase lasts several
days. but the unerring instinct of the
dogs never fails to put the lion up a
tree, where its capture is only a mat
ter Of patience and skill on the part
Of the intrepid hunter. A long lariat
Is made fast to a neighboring tree
and the free end attached to another
of similar length, while a moose Is
provided at the junction of the two
ropes. Ordish then climbs into the
tree with the moose, while the dogs
watch at the ground, ready to tree
the prey again II it should escape by
leaping.
With a long stick the moose is
dropped over the lions head while
the beast is intent upon watching
the dogs, after the hunter has ap-
preached as near as safety will allow.
