ST. LOUIS LIVE STOCK MARKET

CATTLE.--Trade in active condi-
tion with good clearance of all of
ferings. However, fat stuff shared
the greatest competition, the general
market on anything desirable in she
stuff or steers being 25c higher and
selling better than they have in some
time. Common and medium stuff
show no improvement.
Beef steers, 81 to SO; butcher cattle,

$3.50 to $3.50; stock cows, So to $3.50;
stock heifers, So to $5.
HOGS.-Market slows up today due
to more generous receipts in the East
and west, thus competition was main
ly of local character. Early values
15c lower than the good time of yes
terday, while the close was fully 25c
lower, extreme top $10.10, but very
few hogs sold over $1,000. Prospects
are that a good many hogs will be car
ried over. especially the stronger
weights if any way mixed.
Many good 100 to 225 pound hogs
sold at $500 to $40; 24O to $500 TBS at

FRANKLIN A VEGETARIAN

At one time of his life Franklin was strict vegetarian. He believed that the taking of life for the sake of pro viding food was murder. Fishing, in particular, he abhorred, because no one could contend that the fish which were caught could in any way have wrought any harm to their captors-
 One day Franklin-James Parton tells us in his Life of Benjamin Franklin"-was on a sloop which was becalmed on a certain island. The sailors as is still the custom when a ship is becalmed, amused themselves by fishing. Franklin witnessed the catching of the fish with regret. But soon there came to tantalize his nos trils most alluring odor from the frying pan. So, as Franklin used to tell the story, he went over his reas- oning again to see if there was not a flaw in it.
 It occurred to him that when the fish were opened he had seen smaller fish in their stomachs.
 "Ah," said Franklin. If you eat one another I don't see why we may not eat you"
 So Franklin dined upon the fish very heartily, and thereafter ate what

NEW YORK-Wall street has just opened it's doors to Clara Goldhurst, the only woman put and call' trader in brokerage options
 Miss Goldhurst has an office all her own on Broad street, in the heart of the financial zone
 Although less than 25 years old, she has already built up large eli entele in the city and does a large mail order business as we'll
 Tt was no easy task to break in,' she says, for the average man in the Street thinks a woman has no place in the financial game. Women cry when they lose money, and even cry when they make it, they will tell you.
 But they're wrong. A woman has all the elements for making a success in the street that a man has, And maybe more."
 Miss Goldhurst had to prove that in her own experience. When she came to this country at the age of 12 she had never been to school and she knew no English.
 She went to work for $3-50 a week Tn necktie factory, studied English, stenography and typewriting in an East Side night school

"Just Natural Phenomenon" That's How Child
 Prodigy at Four Explains Self
BY MARIAN HALE

NEW YORK-'I am an exceptional due to my own personality!"
 So says Francis Joseph McAdam, child wonder of the Bronx
 Francis is only four and a half years old, but, sitting with one little leg crossed over the other, he said in an aside while his mother was dis cussing him:
 Its natural phenomenon, very puzzling to the world in general ? Then the round d-faced baby uncrossed his legs and added with a grin: You know there are 2e women in the Still man case" He paused a moment and finished: There are too many women in the world"
 Mrs. McAdam says:
 He reads newspapers all the time. His father started to teach him the alphabet when he was three. He mastered them in no time. Then he took up reading and fypewriting. He isn't fond of Mother Goose rhymes and things like that. and he thinks that there isn't much sense in com mon child play.''
 No" says Francis, "children are all very well, but they do not un- derstand me. They see that I am in terested in teaching them things. and they want to do nothing but play"
 And don't you like to play?" he was asked
 Yes. l like to play" he answered, but it's a different sort of playing. Ut could be called playing with a purpose. The kids around here play for no reason at alI.''

HAPPY JACK SQUIRREL HELPS
 UNC' BILLY

It Is very startling, very startling, .noeed, to rush into your own store mouse, which you had supposed was shpty, and run into some one sleep . smg there as if he owned it. It is enough to make any one lose his temper. Happy Jack Squirrel lost his.
 And it is very startling, very start hng, indeed. to be awakened out of pleasant dreams of warm summer days by having some one suddenly Jump on you. It is enough to make any one lose his temper. Unc' Billy 'Possum lost his.
 So Happy Jack sat outside on a branch of the hollow tree where his old storehouse was and scolded and called Unc' Billy 'Possum names, and 1erked his tail angrily with every word he said. And Unc' Billy Pos sum sat in the doorway of the hollow tree and showed his teeth to Happy Jack and said unpleasant things. It really was very dreadful the way those two did talk.
 But Unc' Billy Possum is really very good natured, and when he had got over the fright Happy Jack had given him and began to understand that he was in one of Happy Jack Squirrels storehouees, all his temper vanished, and presently he began to grin and then to laugh. Now it al- ways takes twa to make a quarrel, and one of the hardest things in the world is to keep cross when the one you are cross with won't keep cross too. Happy Jack tried hard to stay angry, but every time he looked at Inc Billy Possum's twinkling eyes and broad grin Happy Jack lost a little of his own temper. Pretty soon he was laughing just as hard as Unc' Billy Possum.
 "Ho. ho, ho. Ha, ha. ha," they laughed together. Finally they had to stop for breath.
 What are you doing in my store house, Unc' Billy?" asked Happy Jack when he could stop laughing.
 Then Unc' Billy told him all about how he had climbed there from an- other tree so as to leave no tracks in the snow for Farmer Browns boy to follow.
 But now ah want to go to nah own home in the big hollow tree way down iii the Green Forest. but ah can't on account of nah tracks in the snow," concluded Unc' Billy mournfully.
