A SHISPLAsrER SroRY.-A shinpIaster story
has been localized here and applied to popular
dry goods dealer. The story may have been in
print, perhaps, but a repetition will do no harm.
As the story goes, farmer purchased few
cents worth of goods, from this trader, and gave
him bill to make change from. The latter re
turned him eighty five cents in his engraved
promises to pay, genteey known as checks. but
vulgarly as shinplasters. What's themS" in
quired countryman, inspecting them with great
curiosity. "Oh,' said the merchant, ''those
are sort of currency we dry goods dealers
have" and went off to attend to another Gus
toner. The countryman went off, not exactly
satisfied, but soon after returned and bought
nearly dollars worth of goods After receiv-
ing the neatly tied up package, and being told
the price. be deposited number Of pumpk in-seeds
on the counter. What are thosef" inquired the
astonished merchant. "Oh," replied the country
man, coolly, "them's a sort of currency we farm
ers have" and thereupon left the store The
story has it that the dry goods dealer, who appre-
ciates good jokes. was 50 amused that he did not
call his Improbable customer back Boston

We observe that Hon. s II. Buskirk of Mon
roe county, is favOrably spoken of for Speaker of
the Indiana House of Representatives. For this
position he is most eminently qualified, and his
choice to that place would reflect credit upon the
members of that BODY. But while we are ready
to acknowledge his excellent qualifications for
the Speakers chair. we would not forget that
the claims of Northern Indiana deserve to be
remembered 1t is fact. that in the choice of
men for prominent positions in the Legislature
and other places, Northern Indiana is entirely
overlooked. We claim fair share, not only in
the division OF the honorable places, but also of
the profitable and paying ones. In this Congress
sional District the Democracy made glorious
fight, aud the Democratic members elect OF the
coming House labOred as hard and as earnestly,
and did as much to roll back the dark tide of Alb
olitiOnism, any other men in the District, and
we claim for them a proper credit, without dis
ptragemsnt to the claims Of those of any other
District.
Among the hard workers was NJ. A. o. Pack
ard, member Of the last House from this Rep
resentative District. and take the liberty of
suggesting him in connection with the Speak
ership. He is an excellent parla which,
with his experience as a member Of the last
House, eminently fits him for that place; and, in
justice to the Democracy of the Ninth Congress
sional District, we present his name as matter
of right Starke County Press
