to defend Itself, tho continued and
effective hammering of the conting
ent for lower prices brought about
a severe decline. Rock Island com
mon at the midday hour showing a
net loss, of 5 points. The balance
of, the, list Buffered in sympathy with
Union Pacific, Amalgamated Copper
and railroad going down two points.
In tho final hour of the session

Buying .In Hit Not.
Colonel BUI was a pioneer legislator,
mrrcbant aud banker of the vest pock
et variety.
It was seldom that Colonel mil got
caught by debtor, so uuerrlng wus
bis Judgmeut of men. but his transac
tion with old man Blimkt;rton wuh an
exception tthe rule. Bluukurtou got
Into Colonel Kill's ledger to the amount
of $t;o and ilnully balanced the account
with i bote.
When the paper was u long time
overdue uud tllere was no prusiiect of
:i hettleiuent. to the eminent disgust of
the colonel, be declared, with u strong
AiikIoSjisoii euiplmslH. that be would
Hell UlimUerfou'a note for GO cuuta uii
the doll.ir The statement was not
ions reucliltm the earn of the maker
of the note, lie met the colonel In the
village street one day and accosted
blm;
T.lll. heard you'd offered to sell my
note for .Hi cents im the dollar."
-Ye: I will."
-Will you o It to me J that rate?"
"Yea, sir: I'll sell It to you at that
rate:"
"All rlgbu Bill: make out u new
note."
Colonel Bill's symptoms of apoplexy
became noticeable from that moment.

The Oldest Joke.
It will le dlUlcult to discover an old
er practical Joke than that or tin cop
persmith and the maker of lirnzen im
age for the temple of Osiris, which 1
embodied In Egyptian inscriptions dat
ing from the reign of .Mem, founder
of Memphis, who ruled over 7.ih
yenrs ago. According to ancient rec
ords, there dwelt between these two
craftsmen a quiet man whose desire
was for peace aud who was midly dis
turbed by the noisy occupations car
ried on by hU" busy neighbors. He
therefore nuked each of them to say
for what sum they would change their
dwellings. This they did. Each calcu
lated the amouut required, und bu, be
ing satlstled, paid It over to them.
"Now." he asked of the coppersmith,
"where Is your new dwelling?" "I
have taken that of tho maker of Im
ages." was the reply. "And you."
queried the quiet man of the latter,
"whither goest thou?" "To the house
of the coppersmith!"
This Is one of many tales told lu all
ages which are woven Into myth and
legend and differ only In local color.
H Needed the Clerk.
When Tim Campbell was In tho Fif
tieth -congress be .stole a clerk from
Congressman Scott. Scott wus a new
member and was made chairman of a
committee which gave blm a clerkship.
He knew nothing about the clerk.
Campbell did. Through some means
or another he bad the clerkship trans
ferred to his own committee.' Six
mouths later Scott learned of the trick.
Meeting Campbell, be said:
"That was a nlco piece of petty lar
ceny." Tut, tut, Mr. Scott," said Campbell;
"my committee needed a clerk worse
than yours." Then, with twinkling
eyes, he continued. "You are a mil
lionaire and can afford to hire half a
dozen clerks, while I must go to the
government for clerical assistance."
The ready reply amused Scott. The
two men were always the best of
friends thereafter.
Groat Luck. ,
"Did Tom have any luck bunting ti
gers In India?" "Yes; great luck."
"How?" "Ho didn't meet any tigers."
His tnlk was llko a stream which
runs
With rapid change from rock to
rosea;
It slipper from politics to puns;
It passed from Mahomot to Moses;
Beginning with tho laws that keop
Tho planots lit their radiant courses,
And ending with some precept deep
For dressing eels or shoeing horses.
Prnod'a "Tho Vicar."
CHICAGO, Jnn. G. Bertram M.
Russell Is a victim of tho dreadful
monologue which somo persons call
conversation. Ho talked so long aud
so exclusively that his wlfo, a school
teacher, had him summoned Into tho
municipal court In an effort to curb
hi stonguc.
"Ho novor threatened mo; ho Juit
talked and talked," said tho wifo.
"What seemed to bo tho matter
with him?" Inquired Judgo Fry.
"Ho talked," replied tho witness.
"Talked?"
"Yes, your honor, ho talked. I
havo known him to talk continuous
ly from 7 o'clock in tho morning un
til 7 o'clock In tho ovening. Tuesday
night ho came homo and started.
"I am tho mother of four children.
I only want htm to Btop talking. Ho
is a terriblo man when ho starts
talking.
"Ho talked socialism, lltoraturo,
religion, labor and sang somo vorses
which ho picked up to tho effect that
work Is tho curso of tho drinking
man. Ho would not allow mo to at
tend to any of my duties."
Upon signing bonds to hold his
tongue Russoll was rolcased.
Hereafter tho meetings of the
Greater Modford Club will bo hold
in Smiths' Hall on Qrnpo street, the
uso of tho hall lmvlng been devoted
to tho ladies of tho club by tho owner.

The brakemau touched bis cap and
passed ou. uud the traveler, suddenly
grown pale and nervous, stared from
tho window anxiously.
