Ambition When I was young I used to dream of coaling all the heights of fame. I said "I'11 make the old world soream when it beholds my wondrous game." And I had visions fair of gold, and princely gems of East and West; for then my heart was young and bold, and raired a rumpus in my breast. I dreamed of rul- ing hosts of men by virtue of my strength and, grace, or, by the movement of my pen, to shake a nation to its base. Bab now that I am old and fat, and full of prunes and shredded hay 1 say to such ambitions: "Scat! I have a better dream this day! Of all gold brioke the worst is fame; it only comes to grieve and vex, to make a man the daily game of album fiends and rubbernecks. If I oan do some good to day Iwill not murmur or repine; if I oan help some weary jay whose look in life was .worse than mine, I'll seek my downy couch this night and my old heart will glow, in truth, with visions far more dazzling bright than all the golden dreams of youth. I tell you this, my friend, again, and you may paste it in your tile: This graft of help- ing fellow men is all that makes our lives worth while. WALT MASON.

The bulk of the receipts were export cattle of a very fair average quality, and in - eluding several loads extra quality. The demand for shipping cattle, however, was very quiet. There is a temporary scarcity of vessel space available, and several of the largest regular buyers re- garded that fact as sufficient reason for their insisting upon some oonoeselon in prices. The result was a slow trade, buyers being apparently indifferent and willing to wait a tidy over. The following are she quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100,1bs.
