MULE BUSINESS MONDAY LIGHT;
HIGH PRICES REDUCED SALES

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
There were plenty of mules here
Monday, there were plenty of local
buyers and two or three foreign buy
ers, but the sales of mules. were
light, only about four mixed cars of
horses and mules being shipped out
today. The small sales were due al
together to the fact that the buyers
and the sellers could not agree on
prices. The owners of the mules
generally held them for the figures
that were paid when the market was
at its peak last winter. They refused
to recognize changed conditions and
the buyers would not pay the prices
that were asked. That In short ex-
plains the small number of sales that
were made.
There was good demand here from
local buyers Monday for the feeder
mules but the owners held them at
prices that the buyers would not pay
sa that comparatively few changed
hands. The Columbia mule market
is the premier market of the coun-
try, but the buyers won't pay above

There was a big lot of mules here
today, about the average for first

some OF them were exceptionally good
ones, too. Buying of the best quality
was free, many buyers being on the
market. But more and more the spread
between athe good mule and the in

There were mules and colts not

from Hickman, Giles and Marshall in

The crop of colts were small, and
the trade in colts was further handi-
capped by the fact that there are
many small ones in the county.
There are too few good big mares
aVd without them the prize mule is
impossible. A colt $3.50, another at

II, is generally agreed that unless
there should be decided change in

be prepared to accept less than the

EAGERLY SOUGHT AND THE.
PRICES GENERALLY GOOD


Evans, of Lynnville, five months old
mare mule colt for $3.50. Heretofore
the sale of pair of colts at $500 has
been recorded by The Herald, but 1t is
believed that this figure for. a single
coh1is equal to any past record. The
colt of Mr.. Gillespie was an exception
ally fine one and was out of a stretchy
Percheron mare.
Another. fine black mare mule colt
four and a half months old was sold
by Jack Marsall to George Hickman
for $ll5, There were several sales OF
colts reported around $500. A few
mares and horses were also sold,
those that suited in type, age, etc,
the demands of the buyers bringing
sood prices. -
Not only was it mule colt day, but

Hymn For Revival.
A hymn, "Out of the Ark" was com
posed for and sung by Mrs. John Wy
coff, during the revival meetings at
Keokuk, Iowa, the second edition says,
and in the same book there is a poem
dedicated to Mrs. H. Scott Howell of
Keokuk, besides a number of poems
which were written by Mrs. Pollard
and dedicated to members Of her fam
lily.
"The Mother-1n-Law" IS one of the
six poems not contained in the first
edition, but appears in the second edi-
ton of the book 1t has been almost
universally copied and published by
newspapers throughout the world,
TRANSACTIONS having been made in
French, German and Italian tongues.
The poem entitled "Mammie,' writ
ten by Mrs. Pollard after the death
of her little daughter upon her tenth
birthday and published in book form
in 1870, is perhaps one of the most
famous pieces of work Kate Harrlng-
ton ever did 1t has been described
as a poem of tender pathos, peculiarly
comforting to bereaved mothers
Her Synthetic System
Rebecca Harrington Smith Pollard
was born in Allegheny City Pa, Sep
TENDER 20, 1881. She was educated
by her father, Professor Nathaniel
Ruggles Smith, graduate of Harvard
who was said to have been fifty years
ahead of his time. Miss Smith her
self took up the teaching profession,
benefting it most, perhaps by her
literary contribution, the Synthetic
system of Teaching Reading" which
work made her renown throughout
the United States. 1t is now used
in the public schools of Keokuk and
generally throughout the English
speaking world.
And in regard to the publication Of
this work it is interesting to know
that It was first presented to the pub
lie through the columns of the Cen
trail School Journal, published at keo-
kuk by J. C. Paradise.
The last years of Mrs. Pollard's
life were spent in writing books along
educational lines and were published
by the Western Publishing company
of Chicago. But it is not for this
type of work that her Keokuk friends
remember her and love Ner best for;
it is the poems and stories she wrote
years ago that mean most to them.
