Boers Ar Loyal to Sympathizers

the Boer generals would probably bave
thrown up the spouge long ago but for the
loyalty of the Cape rebels to the Boer
cause The bulk of the array In Cape
Colony consists of rebels F r the Boers
to surrender without protecting the rebels
would be regarded as the height of con
temptlble mesnness by all Afrikanders and
Boer symnstaizers and would produce such

Did yon ever think ef thn turkey as a
commercial factor In this city said a
The Post repiesentatlve It Is worthy tho
note of any man to Inquire Into the part
this giant of the fowl race plnvs wneu
viewed fiom the standpoint of dollars and
cents and I dare say that yourself aud
otheis would find some surprising flguiei
Aii investigation by The Post mau proved
that the merchant was correct nud except
when tho big gobbler is laid out In his
tempting form with dressing aud crnn
berries on great occaelonu like Thanks-
giving or Christmas It Is doubtful If the
uveiage person bus thought of the import-
ance of this big bird the value ot iuo
tmk on thla sldo may not bo oqub1 to that
of his namosuke across the waters hen
tho ransom for Miss Stone Is paid but It
Is very considerable npverthelase aud tho
turkey crop muikcted In Houston will suf-
fice to shuw that tho earning capacity of
this commodity Is deserving of tne atten
tlon ot any faimer or truck grower of > bo
surrounding countiy The season f oWlve
shipping or tmke > beglue about ocriicr
10 or 16 and from that time until the end
of the year the star of the tin key is v ry
much in the ascendancy as far as values
are concerned In that peilod of seventy
livn or eighty days the shipments to th
Houston dealers will not aveiase less than
ilxty coops par day while on the approach
of holidays this number Is frequently
doubled and trebled Each coop coutains
twelve turkeys and they bring on aa aver
ago of 540 for hens and S750 for gobblers
While the latter aro much In the majority
we may strike a safe average by an estl
inato of 5000 per coop which would r < p
rci > ent an Investment of 300 per day by
tho dealers duilng the active season A
fair estimate ot that period would cover
eighty days and In that time thn consign-
ments ot turkeys to Houston have brought
31200
A very great demand must exist to obtain
these results but a glance at tho trade will
show that It Is oultc equal to the occa-
sion This demand Is not only created by
the ordinary uses of the fowl from Indi-
vidual consumers but In addition there are-
a large number of corporations and private
business houses that every year make It
a rule to remember each of their employes
bv th presentation of a Christmas turkey
The WtllsFargo Express company have ob-
served this custom and many other con-
cerns of numerous employes have sided
materially In bringing about the big fig-
ures set forth above When the supplies
of the market have run short there have
frequently been clrcumstancts rather
amuslpg to obtain the last of the stock on
hand and productive of very fancy sums
to the turkey owner on the eve of tne
week in which the birth of the Savior Is
celebrated Last year pne merchant who
handles Urge quantities annually hed
milnlng In his hous on the day before
Christmas two coops which he < onslderea
a residue from his stock In trsflft that he
would be compelled to appropriate to his
own ure fully convinced that in view of
tho sales he had witnessed there could not
be a place for these outside the domain of
his own premises As he was locking Uin
door to deptrt for his home for tha day or
peace and good will a messenger ap-
proached hlin and stated that his boss re
onlred two more dozen to complete his
gifts The merchant did not realize that
be had n corner on thn turkey market Put
It was true nevertheless and he asked the
boy what his employer desired to PJJor
them He said that I may offer 50 st
first responded the boy It was not neces-
sary for him to talk longer however jsta
dealer soon started for his home with hair-
s hundred dollars more In his safe but dId
not stop to think that less anxiety t trade
might hav caused twice th amount t
reach his bank account
