HAVE YOU WRITTEN?
A Letter From Son to Mother Sus-
gested by Observer.
(By Observer


heard a man say this week that
he had not written his mother a
letter for more than a year-had' nor
even heard from her in that length
of time. The speaker was a man
past fifty years old, so his mother,
YOU will see, has reached that age
where life at best, seems empty to
her.
How can a man be so unmindful?
Ii they knew what their silence
means to their mothers, l do not be-
lieve there would be such men. 1t
would be safe to assume that in all
such cases, mother wrote the last
letter that has passed between them.
And then, receiving no answer 10
that one, she wrote again, and then
again.
The son who has grown to mar
hood and now has children of his
own has let time erase all memories.
or at least all affections for the home
of his childhood. But not so with
the mother who is still in that home.
Time as but increased her love for
the children now scattered here and
there. Her many years have taught
her that making worldly goods our
goal in life is mistake. The voices
of her children would now mean
more to her than any wealth. Those
sons, then who have been negligent,
and who may not be able to visit
their childhood homes, can at least
write. There is absolutely no excuse
for not doing so.
Christmas is near If the reader
be one who has not written home for
a year, let him send mother a letter,
now. 1t will mean more to her than
any other gift she will receive.
The instance that prompted NE ID
write this is not new, of course /
have known men, as you probably
have, who claimed they had not
written home for many years. All
such might well make a firm New
Years resolution, right now, and
stick to it after making it-resolve
to let not another month of her life
pass without your dear old mother
receiving a cheerful, loving letter
from you.

WHY LATE IN WINTER.
Fellow at POStville Enlightened as to
Why Trains Are Late in the
Winter Time.

At the Milwaukee depot the other
Gay travelling man asked the gen
tlemanly agent if No. was on time.
and On being informed it was about
80 minutes late, he asked why it was
trains were more apt to be late in
winter than summer? The agent
couldn't crack the nut. But a rath-
er seedy looking guy who had just
set fire to handful of hay he had
tramped into Missouri "meresham"
took saliva shot at the coal scuttle,
as many a fellow had done before
him, and looking toward the figure
in the ticket Office window says:
Say you fellow with the boiled col
lar, if you want to know why trains
are more apt to be late in winter
than summer, I'm the fellow wha.
can give you straight dope on it, of
you'll come outside. See.
The fellow went out and the guy
led him out on the track and as they
came to rail joint he took his pipe
out of his mug by the bowl and put
the stem of his pipe in the aperaturc
between the two rails.
DO you see that? Well last sum.
mer them rails was so tight togeth-
er you couldn't slide the thickness
of tissue paper between them. Bat
the cold weather has pulled them 50
far apart / can easily slide in the
stem of me pipe. Now, with every
rail pulled that far away from the
rail ahead of it all the way into Chi
cago, imagine how many more miles
the engine has 70 travel now than in
when the rails are tight to-
gether."
You're right, sport; have some
thing on me-"
Sure, boss, and when you want
straight dope on railroads us section
men can hand it to you, for were
he boys that build 'em. ''-Postville

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
Reported by Our Correspondent on
Daily Live Stock Doings.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 81,
191 AFTER stockers and feeders
had declined / ) to 25 cents last week
buyers gathered here in force, and
shipments out were very heavy, 22.-
two-thirds of these, the balance di-
vided between Missouri, Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Iowa The Oklahoma
purchases were unusual, as it has
formerly been the custom of these
men to get their cattle in Texas, but
cattle scarcity there is forcing them
to change their practice. Sales were
mos ly at $3.50 to $50, few feed
ers ur to 1915. Today the run is
light at all the markets and cattle
prices are higher all around, 1000
head here. Fed cattle are 10 to Il
higher than the low point of the Sc
we're hHeak las week, and stockers
and feeders are 10 to % higher, re-
gaining about all their loss of last
week. A sale of choice fleshy white
faces today at $S.15. average weight
1894 rs was considered 40 cents
higher than last Thursday. Killers
wovld have bought these cattle At
the price. The present depression
in fat grades is regarded as temper
airy, due to market gluts, resulting
IN bad outlet for beef, and to the
inning of the poultry branch of the
trade at this time. The general sit
uation is strong, as there are fewer
cat lie on feed everywhere than
year ago, except in Kansas. Besides,
exports OF canned and fresh beef are
heavy These two items in Novenl-
Der totaled 2 million pounds, worth
2 "a million dollars, as compared
with exports in November last year
amounting to little over half
million pounds, worth $4,000. 1t
IS difficult to see how the cattle mar.
ket can be prevented from making
gains soon after the first of the year
At any rate, Western cattlemen are
showing their faith in the situation
by buying heavily.

The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1914-10-10

Last Saturday evening at about 8
o'clock (as David Graves, past master
of John Turner Lodge No. LOG, and
janitor of Lincoln school, was passing
the corner of Twelfth and Oak streets,
he was brutally assaulted by some un-
known person. The attack was so un-
expected and the blow SC severe that
Graves has no distinct recollection of
it. 1t has been learned, however, that
the assailant was white man and
that he disappeared into saloon i'm
mediately after the murderous assault.
The streets were literally crowded at
the time, but the police have not been
able to locate the guilty party and no
one has as yet come forward in behalf
of an inoffensive colored man who al
most gave his life for the privilege of
attending to his own business. Mr..
Graves is at his home, Ills Campbell
street, and his condition is very seri-

men for Kansas City. We need many
more of such. After the men are well
settled in their building, we must have
one for the women. Will you help us
get it?" With loud acclaim all
promised their assistance,
Mr. L. C. Stewart, recently of Winni-
peg, Canada, who subscribed $50, was
next called for In his talk he i'm
pressed the men by telling of the
wonderful advance the Colored people
had made in Kansas City since he left

he said he could see following the es-
tablishment of the Y. M. G, A. build
