I Local and Personal HARD ON THE NERVES An old Southern planter was dis- cussing the hereafter with one of the colored servants. "Sam," he said, "if you die first, I want ^'ou to come back and tell me whU it's like over there. If I die first, I'll come back and tell you what it's like." "Dat suits me, massa," replied the old Negro, "but if you dies first ah wants you to promise me you'll come back in the daytime." Live Stock Report (By Dunn & Levack, Toronto) Supplies of cattle on Monday were heiivy and the trade was slow, as buyers were bidding lower prices, with the result that salesmen refused to accept drastic cuts and over 1,800 cattle were left unsold at the close. Calves and lambs held steady, while hogs were slightly lower. The demand was very limited for choice weighty steers, which sold at from 6.75 to 7.00; good to choice from C.50 to 6.75. Th the butcher section, bids were fully a quarter lower and choice butcher cattle sold at from 6.50 to 6.75; fair to good from 6.00 to 6.50; common to medium 5.50 to 6.00. Choice baby beeves brought from 7.00 to 7.50. Stockers and feeders were in good demand, best light kind from 5.00 to 5.50, with those of heavier weights 5.75. The cow trade was act- ive and steady, choice fat cows from 4.75 to 5.00, with some light heifery cows up to 5.50; fair to good from 4.25 to 4.75; common to medium 3.50 to 4.00; canners and cutters 2.75 to 3.25. The bull trade was steady, good heavy bulls 4.75 to 5.00; choice butch- erbulls 5.00 to 5.25; light bolognas 4.00 to 4.25. Choice spring lambs sold readily at from 13c to 13Jc per lb. Small lambs and those of medium quality were not wanted and sold at sacrifice prices. It will be well not to ship any unfinished lambs to market. Choice butcher sheep brought from 4.00 to 4.50. The calf market was active and strong, choice from 8.50 to 9.00; fair to good from 7.00 to 8.25; common to medium 5.50 to 6.50. Heavy supplies of hogs at all centres caused prices to work lower and Monday's truck deliveries sold at 8.60. The prospects for the balance of the week looked uncertain, but it was felt, generally, that prices would hold steady. A new machine has been invented and tests made by it can tell if a person is going crazy and it also de- termines how rapid the progress. The trouble is that if a man were going crazy he probably wouldn't want to know it. iSOTICE TO CREDITORS Woodstock is going to buy the reg- ulation red carpet for royalty and then cut it off in mat sizes and re- cover the purchase price by selling them as souvenirs.
