Memories.

Loneliness seems forever impossible
since you went out and left the gate
a1ar and all the world came In and
all Its sorrows. The griefs that enter
in some strange way solace my own,
and this increasing sense Of the
anguish Of the world - lightened and
lifted by sharing 1t with other folk.
It is good to feel so passionately and
utterly part Of all that lives and
throbs and suffers. &. How for
tunate and how unusual in so small a
house that the hall leads all the way
through from green to green. We shall
get all the breezes that blow. as the
house faces the west as all houses
should face: and always and forever
we shall hear the stream. There's a
step there at the back. down to the
garden walk. that you must remember,
you who are absent-minded. / keep
forgetting that You are dead.-From
the Worn Doorstep.

American chiIdren's Manners.

American Childreh's Manners.
The North American child is too
pften merely the by-product of mar
rlage. 1t serves as an outlet for that
pride which its parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t Is
petted, cnjoledApampered, overdressed,
and underdisciplined, till there lis
evolved pygmy for whom the world
soon grows banal, who Is destitute of
the petitionary apparel to childhood.
and who surveys an already antici-
pated and thoroughly analysed future
with the cold eyes Of unnatural knowl-
edge The world is its football. 1t is
smart beyond description. But there
is in the forced garden of its life no
sheltering bed where may bloom the
flowers Of graciousness or peace. OF
such will he the new aristocracy, and
it's traditions will be of gsandfathers
who, by virtue of that native Ameri-
can lcngsightedness, delivered the
goods Of their period and were prompt
ly and suitably rewarded. But there
will be few traditions Of cOurtliness,
scant reminders that noblesse oblige,
and but scattering memories of In
herited responsibilities. The sempi-
ternal dollar will still dominate. One
generation was too busy collecting and
the other will be too busy spending.
The second geperation offers no prom

Chicago Oct. a.-Downturns in the
price Of corn resulted today from the
government Drop report. which showed
a yield largely In excess OF what the
trade had expected. Bearish gossip
also made current q likelihood OF fed-
eral efforts to bring about lower
ratio in both the value OF hogs and
corn. Enlarged offerings Of old corn
from rural holders tended further to
weaken the market. Opening prices
which ranged from u to l cent on at
s1.19A to S1.19& for December and
Sl.l5 to sl.15A for May, were followed
by a moderate additional decline.
Possibilities of government measures
to reduce prices together with renewal
of assertions that considerable corn
from the south would be moved north
led to increased heaviness. Predictions
of a new peace offer from Germany
acted too. as a bearish factor. The

Trade Predicting Crest Of Advance Has

at Cattle Pens of Poor Sort and
Market Continues Weak.

Chicago, oct. 9.-Unattractive quail
ity of offerings had a depressing effect
today on the hos market.
The trend of hog prices depends
greatly upon the receipts and the re-
ceipts depend upon the time when it
becomes the general practice to ship
out the young stock. There has been
a gradual increase in the proportion of
pigs and underweights the past two
weeks. but the movement is below nor
NAL.
Good weather will have great inffu-
ence on country owners, as they will
not ship young stuff extensively as long
as we have no severe storms. Young
hogs are doing well and putting on
cheap gains, which are unusually pro-
fitable at the present prices, and with
the confidence that the producer has
in the market most traders expect the
movement to be later than usual
The general quality of offerings has
not been up to the standard of this time
of the year, yet buyers have not at

Altho 1t is the consensus of opinion
in the trade that the hog market must

Cattle.
Most of the arrivals OF cattle were

Local receipts Monday were called

5000 to 10000 larger than expected and
including around $500 to packers for
