as beauty may exist without charm.
charm may also exist without beauty.

The Market Letter


Kansas City Stock Yards, August 8,
1914. Cattle prices declined IS to
40 cents last week, prime steers and
common cows losing least, medium
and common grass steers, good COWS,
and stockers and feeders closing Is to
40 lower. Tight money and fears Of
corn crop damage from dry weather
were leading causes Of weakness.
Smaller beef consumption since the
late advance to retailers, together with
liberal receipts Of imported meats at
New York, combine TO tighten the de-
mand from killers for live cattle. The
supply to-day is 1000 head, and the
market is slow and unevenlY lower.
Packer buyers remained close to tele-
phone receivers till 10 o'clock, getting
their bearings with reference to fnanc
ing purchases, the question Of available
cash having suddenly become ex-
tremely important. A few early sales
OF medium native steers at $8.25 to
SS.65, and prime natives at SO so to
SO go, were steady, but bulk Of sales
were 10 TO IS lower, and the market
very slow. All the adverse influences
at work for three weeks in the stocker
and feeder trade remain effective, with
uncertainty and fear respecting the
future OF trade in general added to-day.
Quarantine cattle receipts were 88 cars,
trade slow, and unevenly lower. Some
good cake steers sold at 81 65, and
medium to common Oklahoma grass
sreers at S5.75 to Sc so. Hog sup
plies have been running very light
here, and the efforts Of packers TO
break the market, who have invoked
every influence at their command 10
that end, have had minimum effect
here, because Of good buying trade.
Receipts to-day are 1000 head, and
about 1000 hogs were sold 10 order
buyers at $9.40 tc $S 90. Packers did
nothing till noon, when, in response to
a report Of a break Of so cents in
Chicago, they made their bids 40 to
so cents lower, and secured a good
many hogs at $500 to $50. With
Europe on war footing it would seem
that provisions must advance, regard
less Of the fact that mess pork declined
heavily to-day. Severe fluctuations in
hog prices during the next week are
expected. Sheep and lamb supplies
to day were 1000 head, and the mar
ket was strong, at the advance Of last
week. Native lambs sold at SITS to
S8.05 to-day, and choice range lambs
would bring $825. Receipts are run
ming very light, and no westerns were
received to-day. Native ewes bring
up to $5.25, breeding ewes up to
$3.50, and feeding lambs could be
sold around 81.

more or less disguised gambling de-
vices.
Friday the barbecue was pulled off,
and those who tried the beef said
it was good, although some contended
that it was no barbecue, inasmuch as
the beef was boiled and not roasted.

before the primary set forth their claims

less OF the time, and some OF them
made speeches in the afternoons. A
speakers stand and plenty Of seats had
been provided by the management.
The rain which threatened and a
lirtle more Friday morning kept some

to the picnic, but they all said they
were glad it was raining, and seemed
to be happy.

CARRIED FOOD TO SICK JAY
Remarkable Story of Phllanthropic
Squirrel That II 10 Claimed 10
Absolute Truth.

An intelligent and reliable lady Of
this city tells US this story, says the
Ohio State Journal OF Columbus: In
her back yard. in the chicken depart
ment, is little receptacle where she
throws scraps from the table for the
chickens to feed on. A squirrel also
has the habit Of visiting the place
and helping himself. One day she
saw the squirrel carry away scrap
Of bread or vegetable and climb on an
adjoining tree, in which sat a jay
bird, which she noticed had been very
quiet and morose for some time, as II
sick. The squirrel ran out on the
limb where the bird sat and, finding
a little fork or crotch Of the limb close
to the bird, deposited the morsel there
and patted 1t down so 1t wouldn't fall
Then he scampered away, At first
the Jay seemed to disdain 1t. but pres.
emily It approached the morsel and
made quite lunch off 1t.
Soon the bird left the tree and
perched itself in another, and there 1t
sat like a bunch of feathers, without
a futter or buster for some time,
when the squirrel was seen making
its way up the tree with another NOR
sci IN its mouth. which II carefully
laid on the limb within reach Of the
bird, when he hurriedly left again,
doubtless thinking his presence might
prevent the jay from eating. But pres
emily the bird nibbled at the repast
and then few away to some farther
tree where 1t would not be an object
Of SO much sympathy. The Jay is a
proud bird and doubtless objected tc
charity, but the squirrel was daisy
