Poor Little Rich Girl.

BY Louise Timme, Aged 10 Years, $50,
Miami Street, Omaha. Neh. Red
Side.
once there was girl. Geneva Ward,
who was rich and snobbish. She would
rot look at anyone who was poor. Al.
though she was rich she was no happier
than the poor children. She could not
play very much for fear of getting her
dress soiled. All her dresses we're OF silk.
50 you can see why she could not play
and have much fun
She would laugh at other girls and
make fun OF them.
Their neighbors were very poor. Wards
would not help them at all. Geneva's 8
conscience told her to give them money.
She did not mind her conscience then but
when she became a young lady she felt
sorry for the neighbors and repented that
she had been so unkind.

The ordinary Indian family gets up at

animal killed is divided among number

Work short Hours.
After breakfast the Indians start out
to their work. The men go off to the
fields OF the farmer OF whom they have
leased their land. and the women hoe
in the little patches about the a0use

men do not start working much before

In further conversation. this man told
me something OF the Indian villages, and
how they are governed. He says the
farmer works almost entirely through the
Indian village officials. Each town has
native alcade or mayor, who, as a sign
of authority, carries a cane as big around
as ball club, which is decorated with
silver ornaments, and he has in addition
two other officers with smaller canes.
1t is the business of these men to rectify
offenses and to pass upon disputes, They
have the right of punishment. They are
selected each year. In addition each viii
lage has a a mandon, who is a kind of
overseer of the work of the town. and Of
the Indians as employed by the farmer.
The farmer gives all his orders through
the mandon, and the latter is responsible
for seeing that the work shall be done
He has also charge of the farm tools, and
is responsible for the success of the
crops. This is a high office and is greatly
desired.

Hello. Rag-Tags." sang out Jack
Crosby from the porch Of his home.
His father was a very rich man and
Jack had everything he wanted. He was
speaking to John Rigby. John was
go6d boy, but his father was poor and
his mother was dead. Jack and his play
mates found much pleasure in teasing
John.
One day John went fishing and caught
good many fish. On his way horne he
had to go by Jacks home. and Jack no
tlced the fish.
Where did you get all the fish?' he
asked OF John.
Down by the trestle." John answered.
That evening Jack told his father he
wanted to go fishing. His father told him
he could not go because he did not know
how TO swim. The next day Jack stole
out of the yard and ran down TO the
trestle, where he balted his hook and
sat down to fish. Presently a little jerk
came to his rod and he knew he had a
fish. He started to pull 1t in, when he
lost his balance and fell headlong into
the water
John happened to be coming along and
heard Jacks calls for help. AS soon as
Jack saw him he called out in loud tones
Come here and get me out" John
started on hearing this, then turned to
go. whereupon Jack called out more
gently please help me out?" John ran
back and soon had Jack on dry land
They then went home together and be-

THE CATTLE MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, March. 16.
 1914. Cattle receipts here last week
 were 1000, head less than correspond ing week last year. The deficiency
 of almost 25 per cent here put this market in an independent class, and
 cattle sold without regard to a break of 25 to 50 cents at Chicago. That
 market depends to a larger extent on
 Eastern demand for an outlet, and
 conditions East were against buying in the West, account of beef importa- tions, sluggish beef market, and Liberal marketing of cattle fattened at points east of Chicago, including the Lancaster section in Pennsylvania. At Kansas City supplies are light and the demand from the eight large pack ing plants here, and the small killers, together with the large percentage taken for the country, absorbed the supply lastFweek at prices around 10 cents above the close of the previous week. Receipts here today are 11,000 head, andaso loading for Chicago was discouraged last week account of the break in prices there, that market has a moderate supply. Hence, there is an effort to make some readjust- ment of prices today, and sales here are steady to 10 lower. The close of the market today was frmer, and the finish steady with close of last week. Near prime steers sold here recently at $9 20, but there is noth- ing of that class here today, Oklahoma corn meal fed steers today at $8. 35 to $S. 70 middle class natives $7.25 to $S 60, hay and pulp fed Utah and Idaho steers $7. 80 to $S, Northern Colorado steers ST 60 to $S. 40, quar- antine steers S7 to $S25, native and western COWS $6 to $7.75, heifers $7 to $9, stockers and feeders $7 to $S.25, veal calves up to $10.5 50. Hogs devel- oped considerable strength after We'd nesday last week, and tops sold at sS. 80 Saturday, highest price since last September. Supply is 1000 to- day, market 10 lower top $S.75, paid for two loads, bulk of sales $S.40 to $S. 65. Receipts are less than re- qufrements of packers, particularly as order buyers take 15 to 25 per cent of the hogs, and Armour paid $S. 75 for a load of Nebraska hogs that arrived late today. Local prices have been running to 20 cents above other Missouri River markets for ten days.

 Tribe and Are Sentenced to Ten Years.

Judge Sawtelle, Marshal, Dillon and other officers of the United States court, who went to! Prescott to hold a weeks term of court, returned to Phoe- nix this week after concluding their labors in the mile high city. The most important case, tried was that against four Navajo Indians, charged with the murder of medicine man of the tribe. A young woman of the tribe was sick with pneumonia and the medicine man was called to treat her, but failed to accomplish a cure. After her death, according to the cus- tom of the noble red man when a pa tient dies, it was decided to kill the doctor Four of her nearest rela7 tives were selected to do the job, which they did with neatness and dis patch and an axe.
 After his death the body was per mitted to remain unburied and eX- posed for several days until some oth- CT Indians came along and gave it burial. The case was given to the jury on Saturday evening, but it was not until Sunday morning that yer dict was returned finding the Indians guilty of murder in the second de- gree. Judge Sawtelle pronounced sen tence on them Monday afternoon, giving each of them ten years in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.

Under the recent order of General Carranza and Governor Maytorena, of the state of Sonora, an export duty was placed on cattle that was declared to be prohibitive by cattle men on both sides of the interna- tional border. The duty amounts to $1O per head on cows, heifers and heifer calves, regardless of age. This ten dollar duty is not Mex" but must be paid in American money.
 That is the duty to be paid by all not members of the Alamo Cattle company, composed of prominent So- nora cattlemen, and one or two lucky Americans on this side of the line.
 While General Carranza was sojourn- ing at Agua Prieta this favored com pany succeeded in getting conces- sion authorizing it to bring out of Sonora as many cattle as they de- sired or could during the next sixty
