 The lower prices at which it was possible to ralse western beef, com
 bined with low freight rates and means of swift shipping, began the
 downfall of the domestic beef indus

In recent years they have been pitiless tyrants, turning out new i dances of puzzling complexity at tl.' rate of about one week. and insist. ing that everybody who pretended C I be anybody had to learn them. Bu now, having drilled the American puh I he pretty thoroughly. they are relax ing their severity. The annual con vention of dancing masters announce
 a new dance with simpler steps, re I quiring less mental effort" There | grateful relief in that assurance. Wh'
