TONE OF THE MARKET
Beef cattle were In quite good supply at
the yards, and the demand was less active
bringing lower average prices than a week
ago. Some fancy cattle were brought in, and
sold at good prices on arrival. For the best
steers and oxen the market ranges from
IL and 10 1-2c. with good cattle, IL and
lie, and coarse and thin oxen, 91-2 and
lie. The best heavy cows sell at 8 and

ordinary. s and &c. and Gamers and bolog-
mas, Ala and 3 1-2c. Bulls were in, good
supply, bringing 6 and s 1-2c, with extras
higher.
Veal calves were in lighter demand and
yard offerings were quite heavy. There was
little change in prices but the average was
a fraction lower. Choice and fancy calves
sold for II and 13c. with good average veals

were light. both at the packing houses and

it will permit raisers to make some

KNOW LITTLE CARE
SHANTY BoATMEN CERTAINLY
LIVE A HAPPY LIFE.
viii Sometimes Work, Though Pleas
ure Is the Real Business OF Exist
/ >, ence-Not Bothered About
So. Rent or Taxes.

If a man were privileged to choose
his own manner of living, sorting over
the whole collection of life's various
forms of existence, and choosing the
one he liked best, nc matter what any
body or everybody said, 1t is likely that
in all that strange collection he could
find nothing more charming than the
life of the shanty boatman, remarks
the Indianapolis News. The shanty
bOatman lives anywhere, according to
his inclination and the season. He
lives, anyway, according to his de-
sires. 1t sets you dreaming of all the
PARKWAY places to think of him. He
moors his little house on the cool
northern streams in the summer, and
drifts down the warm blue southern
rivers during the winter. lie Is not
averse to n bit of work now and then,
enough to keep him in coffee and ba-
con. but he can choose his work as he
goes, and leave it when he grows tired
of 1t. Work is his avocation, and, as
an avOcatiOn, work is not an unpleas-
ant thing. His real business is liv-
ing, smoking, fishing, drifting. lie
pays neither rent nor taxes. He owns
only Il bit of an old shack, somehow
made watertight and balanced so that
it will float. 1t is even possible, you
must understand, for him to enter Into
the life of city men, entering into H.
however, with no sense of necessity or
restraint.
A shanty boatman was not so long
n proper sense of the fitness of things
he tied his boat to n fence, in line
with the houses on the shore and even
painted Il number over the front door.
1t was a jolly looking little home, with
the smoke coming out of the pipe In
the roof and lamplight shining from
the edge of the curtains, and, for all
we know, he may have a regular job
and have taken to city life very con-
tentedly for Il while. The advantage
he had over the rest of us, of course,
was that to get away to the PARKWAY
places, he had only to unite his boat
and drift, accepting now and then II
bit of Il lift from Il friendly craft.
The thing that is likely to bother us,
however, in choosing this sort of eX-
istence, is the question as to wheth-
err we should really be n shanty boat
man, or just pretend to be one. Steven
son was Il sort of shanty boatman. AT
least, he did drift about through the
country In a boat, and lived very con-
tentedly and lazily on the way. But
Stevenson has written a book about his
wanderings, and he was not really a
shanty boatman at all. 1t Is just the
difference you may say, between art
and vagrancy. Vagrancy has an idle
sound, and art is a tempting thing.
The very point in being a shanty boat
man, however, is in not having to try
to be anything else, and, perhaps he
best thing about it is the fact that
it is so far removed from art as to
be very nearly real.

DEVOTED TO HIS NEcKTIE
Strange How Neekwear VIII Weave
itself About the Tenderest Parts
Of a Mans Heart.

Every morning we stand before the
mirror, flap the large end owe and
around, push 1t behind and up and
draw it carefully through. 1t becomes
a habit, and yet, like dining, 1t has a
certain fascination. The keen pleas
ure of a new and increased cravat
helps to make a whole week brighter.
And that dread day when a white spot
appears in the center Of the front Of
our favorite green one, or when the
beloved brown parts internally, and.
while appearing the same without,
tells us, that 1t is gone forever-that
day our coffee is bitter and the mer-
curry low.
! But we never cruelty desert a faith
full friend. For a couple of times after
the white spot appears we try to tie
1t farther up or lower down, usually
with pathetically %ineffectual results.
And then we pasture 1t back some

then adding the milk. Baked potatoes
are especially good with this meat.
Roast pork left-overs finely chopped
and served with chopped celery in
salad makes Il fine substitute for
chicken.
Cornmeal pork fritters, with n rich
| gravy will make Il breakfast dish
which is sufficiently filling for n good
meal. Use cornmeal, M egg, a little
baking powder and sufficient milk to
make Il batter thick enough to dip the
slices of parboiled and drained salt
pork In, then fry in fat and serve with
a cream gravy.
Fresh pork with carrots, onions and
potatoes baked in a casserole is an
other dish which is well liked. A
small amount of meat will season the
vegetables, thus making a most eco
nomical dish.
Spiced Shoulder of Pork.-Soak the
shoulder in water for several hours
after washing well, being sure that it
Is we'll scraped, removing all the
smoked portions that might impart a
strong flavor. Place in a large kettle
with cold water to cover; bring slowly
to the boiling point, then add pepper
corns, whole cloves and sage, a tea
spoonful Of each, with a bay leaf, II
liked, a bit Of mace or nutmeg. The
sage may be omitted if the flavor is
not liked. After two hours Of gentle
cooking, remove the skin from the
shoulder and put 1t in a baking pan,
skin side up. Add half a cupful OF
vinegar, two tablespoonfuls Of sugar,
and a cupful Of water; use this to
haste the meat while roasting. Any
leftover portions are delicious, sliced
cold.

add a half a cupful of veal gravy and
four tablespoonfuls Of butter. Line u
dish with pastry, fill with the mixture
and cover with pastry. Bake in a
medium hot oven and serve with slices

Braised Tongue.-Put a fresh tongue
in a kettle, cover with boiling water
and cook slowly two hours. Remove
the tongue and take off the skin and
roots. Place in a deep pan and sur

of carrot, onion and celery, cut in

after the first hour. Serve on a plat

Brown Sauce for Tongue.-BrOwn a
fourth of a cupful of butter, add one

give expression to their feelings, re-
strained only by what they learn Of
genuine respect and courtesy.
In many cases what appears as dis
respect or worse is merely an indica-
ton of ignorance or crudeness. This
was illustrated by a little boy Of four,
whose violent jumping On a rickety
stair was interrupted by his cautious
grandmother. When the old lady's back
was turned the child whispered to his
brother. "Don't you wish she was
dead?" This was n scandalOus thing
to hear, and under other circum-
stances a child saying anything like
that would have been mercilessly
chastised. But in this case. as In
many others, there was neither malice
In the child's feelings nor understand
ing his mind. In all good faith he
wished the disturbing grandmother be-
You'd good and evil. A child needs In
a case of this kind not reproof or pun
ishment, but enlightenment. He must
learn the remoter meanings and I'M
plicatiOns of the words he uses, ana
he must learn to speak discriminatory.
Whether the undesirable modes of
expression that we commonly call I'M
pudence are the results Of initiating
bad models, or the results Of unre-
strained freedom of expression, our
remedies are not to be sought In en-
forced silence. 1t is well for us to
know first Of all what the sources of
the impudence are, and then deal with
these. We cannot always regulate In
advance the language and manners of
the associates Of our children, but we
can do a great deal to make the home
impressions what they ought to be.
And It is better for us to know just
what the children think and feel and
improve their thoughts and feelings
than to foster hatred and hypocrisy
under the cloak Of decorum.

her own home. There Is no question
of disrespect or insolence. We learn
that the girl does not mean to be Of
fensive. But it is clear that she can
not cultivate reverence while she con-
tihues to speak in this manner to her
parents. What is at first but an inele-
CANT use of language comes in time to
be an unwholesome attitude toward
other people. There are two things
we may do in such a case. We may
either establish the rule that the child
must use only certain kinds of express
sions and tones In addressing older
people, and must avoid others. This
would insure the preservation of the
outward forms. Or we may furnish
the child with the models that we
should not fear to have copied. We
must decide for ourselves which meth
cd we are to prefer: the arbitrary sep
aration of the child's notion of conduct
into that which is to be permitted to
elders but forbidden to children, and
that which is permitted to all, or the
cultivation of q wholesome atmosphere
of considerateness and respect for 9TH
ers.
When the offensive word or grimace
Is the genuine expression of a hateful
mood, we have a different problem.
Under the older ideas of bringing up
children the chief emphasis was laid
on depressing the outward manifesto

extent the feelings can be smothered

without much loss. Such vegetables
If bought or stored in season, cost
less than many other articles of diet
These vegetables carry a large amount
Of water, 20 to 90 per cent, and from
10 to 30 per cent of solids. AS there
is little or no heterogeneous matter, il
is important that such food should be
supplied with them, an exclusive vege.

able. There is a considerable quantity
Of mineral salts in them, and the
woody fiber which they contain make
them an important food. When used
with other foods rich in protein the
tubers and roots supply a large amount
of fuel for the body's needs. The
coarse, woody fiber, though undigested
itself, holds other foods, so that the
digestive juices have better action
upon them, as they could not if the
food were In a solid mass.
The mineral salts in vegetables are
used in various ways in the functions
of the body; they also assist in the
maintenance of the alkalinity of the
blood, a most important office.
We are not familiar enough with the
value of vegetables, or fail when read
ing their food value to put the nm
phasis on the valuable constituents.
Vegetables require some labor to pre-
pare, hence many housewives buy

TRAINING TOOAY'S
BOYS AND GIRLS
When Impudence- Is Disrespect
and When Frankness.
BOTH CALL FOR RESTRAINT
What Kind and How Much Are the
Real Considerations That Must
Be Studied by the Wise
Parent.
By sIpoN,E M. GUTENBERG.

nNE does not need to be very old
" to recall the days when all chill
dren were well-behaved and respectful
to their elders. And those of us who
are too young to remember the good
old days can get from European visi-
tors the assurance that American chill
dren are, on the whole, altogether too
free in their speech. Indeed. our WIS.,
itors from abroad are more frequently
shocked by the ''impudence" of our
children than they are impressed by
the height of III buildings.
1t must be admitted that our chill
dren are rather o%utspoken. In our re-
action against the crushing restraints
of ~puritanism, we have nc doubt gone
too far. And in rejecting the old stand
ards of human and child conduct we
have too frequently failed to establish
definite standards of our own. But we
are not compelled to choose between
disrespect and lawlessness on the one
hand, and repression and hypocrisy on
the other. Children must have free
dom, but they can and should be taught
to speak in a more respectful and
mannerly fashion.
A great deal of what older people
resent as "%impudence" is really not Of
fensive in spirit, but when the shock
ing word is spoken it Is not always ac-
cOmpanied by its W explanation. 1t
is necessary for older people to under
stand what goes on in the child's mind,
instead of waiting for the child to
make the explanation. There are three
common sources Of ~"impudence" that
We can learn to understand and to
treat. Children unconsciously initiate
the tones and expressions that they
hear at home or among their associ-
ates. If a child is often scolded and
reproved In coarse terms, we should
not expect him to use gentle and re-
fined speech in situations that call
forth his critical and resentful spirit.
We are outraged on hearing a young
miss say to her father: "You were
crazy to go out without your umbrel-
Ia; you might have seen 1t would
RAIN" But it does not take us long to
find out that the child Is using the
friendly and conventional language Of
