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

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 5,
5.-The country continues to alb
sorb stockers and feeders at steady
to firm prices, shipments from here
last week amounting to / 900 head,
about the same as previous week,
and slightly less than same week
last year. Since January 1st total
shipments of stockers and feeders
from here amount to 154, 200 head,
same period last year las, 900 head.
Distribution has been different this
year, Kansas taking big increase
over last year, Missouri about as
many as last year, Iowa and Illinois
only a fraction of what they took
last year. Among the purchases last
week was drove of fleshy steers,
1927 pounds average, to an Illinois
man at $500. Other sales of both
stockers and feeders of high class
ranged from $3.50 to $7.S5, about
the same as the best cattle of these
classes were costing a year ago. Good
doing steers, good colors. were sold
at $500 to 1925, both stock grades
and feeders. Well bred springer
COWS are selling at $6.15 to $3.50, if
showing forward, and 1915 to $500,
if little backward, best steer calves
1925 to $7.75, heifer calves S6.75
to $40, good thin young bulls $3.50
to 1915. The supply of cattle today
is nearly 1900 head, market firm
on all kinds except heavy beef steers,
which continue draggy. Stockers and
feeders are selling out of line with
fat cattle now, of course, but pres
ent prices are justified when Inquired
in connection with what popular
opinion believes fat cattle prices will
be in June and thereafter. Hides and
other by-products bring packers
three to five dollars ahead less for
cattle than was being realized from
the same items March 1st, which eX-
plains partially why the fat cattle
market does not advance more rapid
ly.

10 Wives Tell the Truth to Their
Husbands

In the March Womans Home Com
panion appears an article entitled
THE Lies We Tell to Men" 1t is
the personal confession of woman
who maintains that women rarely
tell the truth to men and that it is
the mems fault. After relating some
of her experiences in girlhood and
young womanhood, the author OF
this article goes on to tell, as follows,
how, after she became engaged and
married, each year had added to her
understanding:
For one thing, l found | must
maintain fervently that he was the
only man | could ever possibly have
loved, under any possible clrcum-
stances. Isn't that one of the drol-
lest fallacies of the Other Sex about

A woman can love but once. We are
afraid to tell them--they would not
consider it nice!-how many men we
have known whom we could have
loved, how many, even, whom we did
love! There is not the slightest rea-
son for men to consider themselves
unique in the versatility of their af-
fections. l think that there have
been no fewer than dozen men
among my friends that ] could have
cared about, could have married,
with whom / could have been happy.

YOUNG GERMAN
BOY EXPIRED
HAD BEEN TRYING TO REACH
THE FATHERLAND, 1T WAS
THOUGHT, WHEN ATTACK
ACUTE INDIGESTION CAUSED
HIS DEATH.

Kurd Kumpke, young German boy,
who worked at Hugheys restaurant
for some weeks, and who left there. it
is stated, intending to make his way
back to the old country, died while
aboard a motor boat, which was off
Pensacola light, some few nights ago
and the news of his death was related
yesterday by a friend. During the time
of the young mans stay in the place
named, he made good many friends
by his willingness to oblige all with
whom he had dealings, and these ae-
quaintances will be sorry to learn of
his death.
Young Kumpke, just able to speak
enough English to make himself un-
derstood clearly, reading the daily re-
ports of the war in which his country
was involved, decided to make his way
it was claimed, in some manner to his
native land, and, inquiring around,
thought by getting passage. on a
steamer leaving Mobile that he could
in some way, finally reach home. 1T
was a Norwegian steamer that he
sought, and it was claimed that he
was going to catch the vessel on the
high seas, but this was not the idea
of a boatman, who had Kumpke as his
passenger The boy, however, never
lived to get sight of any vessel going
toward Europe, it is claimed, and died
of acute indigestion. He was about
twenty years of age, and naturally
manifested much concern in the OPP
erations Of the armies at war with
one another on the continent.

Her name was Spotty, and she had
black spot on the end of her nose
and one on each of her sides and the
| tip of her tail was black, but the rest
of Spotty,s body was white.
NO mouse or rat ever explored the
kitchen and lived to tell the tale un-
til Spotty met with an accident
| One day Spotty saw a bird on a
bush near the ground and she sprung
for it. She missed the bird and land
ed on bit of glass that cut one of
her front paws.
Maybe next time you will let the
birds alone" said the dog that hap

II did not want to catch the bird"
said the untruthful Spotty: 81 just
wanted to scare it away from the cur
rant bush, so it would not eat the
berries"
Don't tell that to me-" said the
dog; 81 was brought up with you and
know all your tricks"
Spotty limped into the house and
the cook put a piece of cloth around
the injured paw and gave Spotty a
saucer of milk, and soon she was
asleep and forgot her troubles.

for the night Spotty heard something
in the pantry. That sounds like a

cautiously toward the pantry
She looked in and there on the
shelf was mouse. Spotty forgot the
sore paw and sprang to the shelf, but
the injured paw slipped and over she

What is the matter with your

she limped into the kitchen and lay
down back of the stove.
"She is limping,' said one of the
mice; "she cannot catch us, let us
have some fun" The mice went into

For Tonight

one night she took her place back of
the stove and after the cook had gone
she waited her chance.
Out came the mice. but Spotty did
not pretend to see them; she got up
very slowly and limped around the
room.
''Her foot is not well yet" said one
mouse: she cannot catch u.s." and
they ran very close to Spotty, but she
did not notice them. She limped a
few more steps and then she lay down
in front of the stove.
When the mice saw her settled. as
they thought, for a nice sleep, they
ran around the floor, when suddenly
Spotty sprung at them and she held q
mouse in her paw. Then she hid in
the pantry and before morning she
had all of her tormentors.

any good" said Spotty; IF l had not
cut my foot l would not have known
how to fool the mice"
"All l have to do after this is to
limp about and reach out my paw
and catch them"
