A preacher's "copy" always needs editings Next to the preacher, the school teacher sends the poorest manuscript to the newspaper office.

The bull started to flee, but changed his mind after running some distance, and discover ing his pursurer did not have the dreaded pitchfork he lowered his head and charged his master. Mr.

Hunt attempted to run and fell. The bull butted him as he pleased, and it looked for a moment like Mr. Hunt would be gored to death. The boy dropped the stallion's rein and started off for help. It was then that the noble animal proved himself faithful to his master, and was a real hero.

Rearing up on his hind feet with a snort of defiance, he bore down upon the bull, which in the meantime had returned a second time upon Mr. Hunt and was about to trample him to death. The horse bit a large piece of "beef and hair" out of the bull's back at the opportune moment and wheeling, planted both rear heels in the ribs of his opponent, almost sending him to the earth, and causing him to roar with pain. The bull left his prostrate victim and fled in terror, with the horse pursuing him and taking chunks of hide and hair every few steps until he had chased him away The horse then returned to his master. engage in business here.

Receipts of live stock at Kansas City last week and same week last j'ear were as follows Cattle, 44,278 last year, 66,710. Calves, 7,904 last year, 8,867.

Hogs, last year, 28,427. Sheep, last year, Horses and mules, last year, 890. The supply of corn fed cattle was the lightest of the year last week, and killers could not fill their wants. The close on good cattle was 30 to 35 cents better than a week ago. Top for week was $5.40, just $2.25 under the top same week last year.

Grass steers also made gains, but not so much. Range she stuff was plenty, but natives, particularly yealings, were scarce all kinds gained. Veal calves changed lit tie. Bulls were dull all week, and stock calves lost 25 to 30 cents. Stock and feeding cattle, however, advanced daily up to Thursday, but exhibited- some dullness Friday.

Movement to the country amounted to 550 cars, and would have been still larger if the supply of good cattle had been larger. Favorable corn weather the present month has pufceonfidence in the feed er buyer, and the most satisfactory, as well as the largest, week's business of the season was done.

To-day the run is 12,000 cattle, and the general market steady to strong on all kinds, especially on stockers and feeders. Top fat steers to-day $5.35. Chicago had light receipts today, lending strength here, and this week starts out promising well. Locally last week was a big bull week on hogs, and packers paid flattering prices in the hope of attracting larger runs.

Light hogs gained 20 cents, medium weights, up to 280 pounds, gained 10 to 15 cents, while big heavies and rough sows are barely steady. The range of prices is now the widest for some time. Top to-day and bulk of sales from to $5.90. Run was light at 4.000 head and market 10 cents higher today. Bearish sheep reports from eastern markets necessitated slow markets here, but most kinds closed the week steady with close of previous week.

Scarcely a day passes that some device or utensil for the housewife's use is not invented. One of the latest improvements is an appliance for carpet cleaning invented almost sim ultaneously in this country and in England. The only essential difference between the two systems is that the American one dislodges the dirt in a carpet or other textile and forces it into a receptacle by a blast of air under a pressure of eighty-five pound to the square inch, while the English method operates by suction.
