Small Change in the West.

Kansas Correspondence Boston Transcript
In truth, a person who waits for
change in the shape of two, three or
four cents is looked upon with something
like sc0rn in the West. Is your bill
seventy-eight cents? You pay eighty,
or the obliging shOpkeeper says: "Call
it seven ty-fve." s-
I recalled an incident which one of
the merchants of Salina related when
speaking of his recent trip to New York
for goods. After making his prepare
lions for returning he went to settle his
bill, which proved to be $4,000. He
paid $40, and was turning away when
he was recalled by a tap on his shoulder,
and the three cents were pointed out.
In scOrnful amazement he threw down
ten cents, and again started away.
" Here is your change, SIR" said a
voice, in no wise overwhelmed by his
contempt.
The merchant waved his hand and
bowed.
"Keep it, sir. I am a Western man.
We don't grasp three or four cents there
so closely" ....s.. '..

The soothing 1fnnd.0rraihi.. rLI

The soothing influence of music when
applied to the savage breast was Illus
tFated by a recent event in Washing
ton. The. other day, it is related, the
whole party of braves gathered at the
window to witness the strange sight of
an itinerant organ-grinder. The musi-
clan was finally induced by the offer of
several pennies, to 60 into the yard of
the hotel and serenade the aborigipes.
As soon as he began to turn the crank
it was too much for the Indians blood,
and a retreat from the window followed.
Headed by Jack, the party. silently
fled down stairs, OUT through the
kitchen into the yard, and scrutinized
the wonderful thing. After giving
them IN hour of unalloyed pleasure,
tie grinder becoming weary, was forced
to desist, and the Indians returned to
their room. The music had done its
work, however, for when they got up
stairs a series of. dances. were INDUCED
in which would have made song and

got together and proposed that instead
OF fighting they draw straws for the
girl, the loser to leave the country. 1t
was agreed to, and the fortunate lover
was married last night.

How an Old Dog Was Avenged.

From the Indianapolis journal.
"Talking of dogs" said Dr. F.,
"Pll tell you true story. When
lived in Dayton, had neighbor, DR..
Van Tuyl, who had a mastiff, named
'Lige. He had grown old and gray and
toothIess. He had been, in his prime,
without peer in a square deg fight, but
was now on the retired list. 1t was
hard for 'Lige to give up his dog days
in inglorious ease. Every now and then,
feeling the rust of inaction, he would en-
gage in combat with some wandering
dog, to be made painfully aware of his
enfeebled age. One day when 'Lige
was doing on the front porch he looked
up and saw in the street, under q load
of wood, large yellow dog-a jaUnty
fellow, young, vigorous and saucy, with
an unmistakable country air about him.
The stranger was looking around in 8
supercilious way, as il there wasn't any
thing thereabOut worth a second glance.
'Lige made up his mind that this dog
needed to be taught humility. So out
he went and strai9htWay engaged the
stranger A cloud of dust, a halo of
hair, and old 'Lige returned with his
ears torn and bleeding. Smarting with
defeat, he ran through the house, out Of
the back door, and jumped side fence
into an adjoining yard. DIR. Brennan
lived there. He had a dog, large,
weIl-knit fellow, much such a dog as
'Lige had been at his best 'Lige found
this dog, and a council of some sort was
held. 1 don't know what was said all I
know is half minute after 'Lige's de-
feat, and before the country dog had
well digested his victory, the Brennan
dog accompanied him over the fence,
through the Van Tuyl residence, across
the porch into the street, and there 'Lige
looked on while his friend tackled the
country dog, giving that verdant victor
a wholesome defeat. 'Lige being now
fully revenged and vindicated, the two
dogs returned to their homes, leaving
the country dog, much crest-fallen, lick
ing his wounds"

CHICAGO, September 2S.-Asa great deal
otinterest is felt in the Chicago market as
to the true state OF facts concerning the
Minnesota wheat crop, the following let.
ter, dated September 19tl', from Thomas
Whiting, now in command Of one OF the
mammoth farms near the western lines OF
Minnesots, to a heavy gram carrying firm
OF this city, is published:
ssThe movement OF wheat from this
State will be quite late. Farmers manifest
no disposition hereabouts to get to thresh-
ing, partly on account Of tho wheat not
being through the sweat, aud partly
(mainly) on account OF prices. Wheat Is
not all stAked yet. We have six hundred
acres yet in shock, and other farmers in
proportion. The crop Is very much dam
aged-more on account OF bleaching than
growing. In Southern Minnesota, and /
think over the State generally, wheat will
grade largely as No. 8, or below. II the
Minnesota crop cuts any figure, do not
think the short side for the next few weeks
will be the side to play. Threshing will
undoubted be in full operation early next
month, but this will make the crop move
ment very late. Our crop threshes ont
ten and twelve bushels TO the acre, and we
are as good as any one. This 10 the crop
which every one set at twenty bushels 10

ment. The measure Is machine tneasuI e,
which will not hold out sixty pounds to
the bushel. That two weeks rain dsm.
aged the crops Of this State badly.
There is little doubt, however, that
wheat is about TO move more freely. The
farmers have held back hitherto for a
repetition Of the speculative excitement
OF last year, but they find II does not
come. Capital lost severely by bulling
wheat too early year ago, and has taken
warning by the "irighiiul example" The
farmers see this, and though not in a hur.
