When the pretense of cattle buy
ing ended at the Chicago stock
yards April 30th, 10,000 cattle re
mained in the pens unsold. In
twenty years such a number had not
been left over.
The buyers of the packers told the
commission men and shippers that
until people commenced again to
eat meat they would purchase only
the cattle necessary to fill the dwin
died butcher orders. No animals,
they said, would be put into the
coolers.
The bottom instantly dropped out
of the cattle market, and the hog
and sheep markets tumbled in sym
pathy. Tho price of cattle fell 15
cents to 26 conls on the 100 pounds;
that of hogs 10 cents and 16 cents,
and that of sheep about 10 cents.
At these reduced prices the pack
ers divided about 8,000 cattle among
themselves. Having supplied their
immediate needs, they refused to
bid further and left the pens.
The angry shippers charged that
they were the victims of a conspira
cy. They declared the packers had
deliberately trapped them into ship
ping by offering higher prices, and
that having got the live-stock with
in reach they had purposely plotted
to break the market.
The cattle left over will go “stale,
in trade parlance, and to-morrow,
under the best conditions, will sell
much lower than the market price.
Heads of the big packing houses
are being bombarded with threaten
ing letters from all parts of the
country.

Matrimonial Disremembrance.
Samoan Costumes.
now York Tribune.
In the south seas dresses are made
with a hatchet, a club and a pot of
paint. Every housewife is her own
robe and habit maker. When she
feels the need of a new gown, she
goes and chops down a tree. When
her husband needs a new suit, she
chops down another tree. That is
easy, for men and women are clad
exactly alike—a plain fold of cloth
caught about the waist and hanging
loosely to the knee or shin. The
races inhabiting the islands of the
tropical Pacific are almost alone in
having no idea of the loom and the
various arts of the spinner and
weaver. This lack is undoubtedly
due to the natural provision of ma
terial which renders a woven cloth
unnecessary to this primitive people.
The only fabric used in that part of
The world is a, crude, tough paper
inude of bast. The tree from which
the ir aterial is derived is the paper
mulberry, or Broussonetia papyrife-
ra, which is grown in plantations
under the sole charge of women and
is also found wild in all parts of the
islands. In archipelagoes so highly
advanced as Samoa a^d Tonga,
where women have none of the
coarser work to do, the entire cave
of the mulberry plantations rests
with the women of each village
The trees are planted closely to
insure a spindling growth without
lateral branches. The plant will
grow from seed. In such a climate
there is no difficulty about getting
things to grow, but experience has
shown that better results follow the
planting of twigs from the sturdier
wild trees. In about three years
from planting the tree will be in the
best condition for the clothmakers.
In that time it will attain a height
of twelve feet or more,and the trunk
will have a uniform diameter of rath
er less than two inches. About four
A colored man, about 30 years of
age, drove up to the depot with
load of baled cotton, says the Gal
veston News, and he had just begun
to unload when an old, gray-haired I feet of the trunk is waste and not
negro with a bad limp came down
the street and shouted at him:
“Say, go] pusson dere!”
“Hello, Uncle Joel” saluted the
other.
“Now, den, what sorter man be
yo’?” demanded the old man as he
reached the wagon.
“Hu! What yo* mean by dat?”
“I mean, sah, is yo’ a man of hon-
ah or not?”
“Of co’se I ar\ Why, ole man,
yo’s all exoited dis mawnin’. What’s
de mafctah?”
“Sam Johnson, I’se got a darter
Lindal” replied Uncle Joe, as he
straightened up and waived his
arms about.
“Yes, of co’se. Yes, sah, yo’s got
a darter Linda, an’ she’s a pow’ful
fine gal.”
“Last Sunday night, Sam John
son, yo’ axed dat gal to marry yo’!”
“Hu, hu! Sunday night? Lemme
see. Say, I reckon I did.”
“Of oo’se yo’ did! She said she’d
do it, an’ de marriage was set fur
dis mawnin’ at 10 o’clock.”
“Hu! Shool Ten o’clock dis
mawnin’! Why, I reckon it was,
Uncle Joe. Yes, we was to be mar
ried dis mawnin’.”
“But yo’ ain’t dar, sah.”
“Dat’s a fack. Jist clean slipt my
mind.”
“But what yo’ gwine to do, sah—
what yo’ gwine to do?” shouted the
old man as he danced around.
“What’s I gwine ter do? Am Lin
da all ready an’ de preacher dar?”
“Yes, sah.”
“Den yo’ come around heah an’
hang on to dat off mewl an’ hold
him stiddy, an’ I’ll run ober an’

ten minutes. If Majah Jones cums

Don’t Start Wrong.
Don’t start the summer with a
lingering cough or cold. We all
know what a “summer cold” is.
It’s the hardest kind to cure. Of
ten it “hangs on” through the en
tire season. Take it in hand
right now.- A few doses of One
Minute Cough Cure will set you
right. Sure cure for coughs,
colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all
throat and lung troubles. Abso
lutely safe. Acts at once. Chil
dren like it. “One Minute Cough
Cure is the best cough medicine I

The Force of Cyclones.
Uareful estimates of the force of a
cyolone and the energy required to
keep a full Hedged hurricane in ac
tive operation reveal the presence of
a power that makes the mightiest
efforts of men appear as nothing in
comparison. A force fully equal to
over 400,000,000 horsepower was es
timated as developed in a West In
dian cyclone. This is about fifteen
times the power that can be devel
oped by the means within the range
of man’s capabilities during the
same time. Were steam, water,
windmills and the strength of all
men and all animals combined they
could not at all approach the tre
mendous force exerted.—Ex.
