"MOTHERS' DAY

In most sections of our country day in the year is
celebrated as Mothers Day" But every day is the
mothers day. if we only knew it.
Immense libraries contain manifold accounts OF what
men have done to make the world better OF what the
mothers have done little has been written because men
have done the writing. What the mothers have done
never can be told The star that has guided man through
all the dark centuries of advance in civilization the love-
light that has ever shone steadily in the worlds mothers
eyes.
The mother is enthroned at the very center OF human
life and she extends her subtle, benecent influence to
the utmost advance of human progress.
The mother love- impressed deep in the plastic mind
and heart of chdhood-here is the moving and directing
force in the world 1t is the earthly reservoir Of all the
best impulses that have been even from the beginning
and that ever will be- to the end 1t sweetened the
breeze that scented Edens grove and ever since its bless
ing has been borne into every nook and corner of the
habted world
All, the mother love- Who can measure its sustaining
power?
The mother devotion! Who can tell where that ends
and divinity begins?
There is no passion in which poor human nature so
nearly reaches the divine that of the mothers love for
her child 1t is the supreme passion of earth the fda
mental force that has populated it and civilized it. 1t is
steady light beaming from heaven to make the world.
habitable and heaven conceivable

Robert T. Lincoln of the Pullman company, son of
Abraham Lincoln, to entertain the opinion in the
light Of recent publicity that Pullman porte1s are not
paid enough but he declared his belief that tipping by
the public would continue even if their meager salaries
were increased No doubt that is true for most tips
paid on Pullmans are for selfish purposes and the
financial condition of the porter does not enter into the
transaction. Mr. Lincoln may not be in position to cor
rect the public but he ought be in position to influence
the company to give its porters living wage

Another one on the Ford-not so
very old: A man died and went to
Heaven, making the trip on high in
his Ford. When he drew up in front
of the pearly gates he stuck his
little Ford in his vest pocket, lit
big cigar, and leaned up against a
tree TO see what would happen.
Presently man swept up in a big

sorrowfully. Next came a man in a
Pathfinder, and was refused admis-
sion on account of the make of his
machine. Then followed Peirce-Ar-
row, Dodge Bros, Cadillac and Oak
land, all meeting the same f.te. By
this time the Ford man had sweat
down perfectly good collar, and
was wobbling considerably. But he
was determined to try his hand once
anyhow. So after the usual prelimi-
naries he was asked the make of his
car. In a timid, almost iDaudible
voice he answered: Ford Where

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 7.
Flood waters are receding at all
points in the West, and while there
has been no interruption of business
here on account of high water, some
of the railroads have had difficulty in
making deliveries of lives stock, which
has kept the supply down this week
Cattle receipts today are 5, 500 head,
and the market is strong to 10 higher
Missouri steers weighing 1911 lbs
bought the top price, 50 35, and ma
tive yearlings sold up to SO. 25. High
bred Herefords produced and fed in
the Panhandle country sold at 50 Is
and 80 25 today, slightly higher than
a cut of the same cattle bought yes
terday. Steers fed in the sugar beet
district in Colorado brought SO. 20,
top price of the season for their class.
The rank and file sold at firm prices
Two big trains of Texas cattle ar
rived late yesterday and the market
closing time limit was removed at
the request of both sellers and buyers
and everything was sold, indicating a
good healthy demand. Another tr ain
arrived for today, and sold at strong
prices. The quarantine supply this
week has included meal fed steers
from North Texas at ST so to s8 so,
AMI three shipments of South Texas
grassers at ST IS and S765 Stockers
and feeders are quiet this week,
largely on account of lack in suitable
offerings, prices ranging from 81. 35 to
So 25.
In the hog yards prices were higher
yesterday, and averaged steady today,
though packers tried to buy them
cheaper at the close today. Receipts
are restricted because of weather con-
ditions, $500 here today, top price
81 SO, bulk of sales $3.50 to S7.65.
Quality is very good, but weights av-
erage considerable lighter than a
short time ago, 1856 lbs. last week.
This condition indicates close market
ing in the country, and taken in con-
junction with the fact that the sup
ply so far this month is slightly less
than same days year ago, points to
lighter supplies later in the summer.
Sheep and lambs sold strong yester-
day, and strong TO Is higher today,

zona spring lambs brought the top
price today, 50 IS, and native spring
lambs are worth $500 to So rs, native

Kansas has paid out a lot of money
to hear w. ]. Bryan talk. A few
figures as to what he earns will be
interesting, 1T is known generally
among the lyceum bureaus that Mr..
Bryan's terms are as follows: He re-
ceives a guarantee of $3.50 for each
lecture. After that amount is taken
in at the gate he and the manage
ment divide the remainder, each TAX
ing half. Under this arrangement
Mr.. Bryan's share sometimes runs.
over $500 for lecture, but it will
average $3.50 through the season, it is
estimated This would give him a
gross income of 81, 200 week, OF. .$58,-
300 for the chautauqua season of
fourteen weeks. In the remaining
thirty eight weeks of the year sthis
lyceum manager estimated that Mr..
Bryan could average six lectures
week easily, which would give gross
income of 81, 100 a week, or S79, 800
for the thirty-eigh weeks. This
added to the S58, 800 for the chautau
tauqua season would give him gross
income for the year of S138, 800. His
expenses would be very small outside
of his personal travelling expenses.
From these figures it will be seen Mr.
Bryan, in laying down his commits
sion as secretary of state with its s12,
900 salary, is not making any financial
sacrifice He could rest half the
year and still have an income nearly
as large as that of the president of
the United States.-Osborne Farmer.
