KANSAS CITY MARKET REPORT

on all classes by salesmen, and packer buyers claimed their droves cost them 10 to 15 high CT. Stockers and feeders were sold out close last week, and there was a'good demand today from outside buyers and from yard tracers, at strong to 10 higher. As usual, on Monday a large percent of the receipts, 11,000 in all, was stockers and feeders, which left a light SUD- ply for the killers.
 Cold weather is helping the beef market, though packers as- sert that consumers buy in small packages, a condition that makes a strong demand for butch CT stuff and light steers, and a small demand for heavy steers. Some good to choi ce S steers brought $8. 75 here last week, heifers up to the same figure, but nothing that good is here to- day, bulk of the beef steers sell ing at S7. 50 to $8. 25, heifers at $6 to $7.50, COWS at $5.50 to $6.75, bulls S5.75 to S6.50, veal calves up to S10.50. Quarantine receipts are very light, 15 cars today, steers at S6.65 to $7.05. The depressing influence on beef cattle prices for the last month or six week has been heavy runs in the quarantined section of the Chicago yards, to- gether with bad beef ou t e t. Stock is getting pretty we'll run out of the quarantined counties of the different states, and the market will gradually have a lighter burden to carry, and some improvement in prices should result. Stock men who are in position to handle cattle and who have not been influenced by the foot and mouth scare have great faith in the market, and buy stockers and feeders freely. Shipments to the country last week were 19, GOO head, more than 50 per cent of the total re- ceipts during the week. Most of the feeders sell at SIPS to S7.65, stock steers $6.50 to $7. 50, choice young cattle up to $9.00.
 Hogs sold steady to strong to- day, receipts. 10, ,000. Order buy CTS were out early and bought 1000 or 1, 200 hogs at S6.70 to $6.80, packers coming out later and paying $6. 50 to S6.75. Light hogs are bringing a premium, and will lead the others 10 to 15 cents before the week is over. Packers have been bearish re- gently, and have had their own way, but smaller hog receipts in the east and better orders from there at the western markets will restore prices.
 Sheep and lambs sold 10 to 15 higher to day. The market sag ged Friday, but closed 25 higher for the week on lambs, and 50 per cent higher on sheep. Good lambs sold at SS.25 to $8.40 to- day, and best ewes at $5.75 to $6.00, two loads of ewes from Ft. Collins bringing the top price. Receipts here are 1000 head, and moderate supplies are in sight for later in the week. Two thirds of the Monte Vista stuff has been marketed, and some inroads have been made in the Arkansas valley feed lots, which carried small number this season to begin with. Markets should average high all winter.

were worn away past recognition
At the end of the week the watsons stlll
fingered. That morning at breakfast
young Tyson conceived brilliant plan
whereby he might contribute to the fund
OF Watson history
Il Just thought OF an old man that lives
up the hill who might tell us something"
he announced. Hes very old
Just the thing" Sidney" said Mrs.
Tyson with motherly approval
Half way up the hill Sidney turned and
looked into the face Of his companion.
You haven't said a word about ancestors
since we started" he laughed
And unless you force me to / don't
intend to begin" she answered. AT least
not until we reach the old man on the
hill"
But suppose there isn't any old man on
the hill, after all2 Suppose ! had just
made that yarn UP as an excuse to get
you orr
"why didn't you wait till we had got
all the way UP before you told me2 Now
we shall have to turn around and go
back" said Matilda reproachfully.
But we might just happen TO find an
old man up there anyway" he suggested,
and they continued their climb.
IT'S n shame to dlsappoint mother"
said Matilda half an hour later as she
threw herself down on the side of the hill
overlooking the surrounding country.
But 1 am glad we came just for this
View"
Have you so many blanks in your

ness.
Several" she said, opening the port
folio she had brought. "Oh, dearl" she
cried again as she tried to catch the pa
pers that were blowing far out over the
trees below,
You don't care" he assured her.
But II was the only copy of the Wat
son tree we had"
Sidney then drew a paper from his
pocket. He unfolded 1t, displaying the
spreading branches of the Tyson geneal-
ogy, and handed II TO her.
How would that do instead?" he asked
''There is only one blank In our tree that

plained.
Mrs. Watson was beaming upon him.

an easy way to reach 1t had put her In

II should be delighted to take your place
in the buggy. Pm sure we can drive
this horse without your assistance. Per-
haps you will see that my daughter, Miss
Watson. finds us safely?"
With few more words OF explanation

To Mrs. Watson the day was one Of
rare interest. She had met-so she ex-
planned to Matilda-a woman OF rare in
sight, sympathy and discrimination,
who, like herself. was sacrificing her
own pleasure to the lasting good OF her
children. But in spite of this great and
pleasure Mrs. Watson's day
had its disappointment. The Watsons
didn't even have gravestones. or at
