A GE y S:
TAKING THE CHANCE.

Among the visitors at Wall street
Brokers office one day last week was q
village parson whose flock was not more
than fifty miles away. He refroved
the broker for the sin Of stock gam
bling, warned the clerks that they
were travelling the broad road to sin,
and finally said;
81 have some certificates of stock
here, in the Melville snine, and though
l am opposed to this ungodly business
of speculating in stocks for profit, these
we're present to me from an old
friend, and / may be forgiven for dis
posing of them at their face value.
t'Tou will hardly be able to do that, =
replied the broker, as he looked upon
the quotations. They are quoted at
nine cents on the dollar.
Dear lands but is that possible: ,
gasped the holder. "As | said before
] am utterly opposed to stock speeula-
tions, but nine cents on the dollar is
preposterous.
"Well, the stock may take boom
after while. Some ring may run 1t
to 25 or so cents within week"
"But rings are wicked" "
eyes, | suppose so. "
"And in selling out at an advanced
figure I would be defrauding some in
nocent buyers.
Like as not.
The parson was silent for some time,
and then he asked:
'Is there n chance that wouldn't"
"Well, about one in five hundred.
Where one gains another must lose,
you know"
There was another interval Of silence
and deep thinking, and then the visitor
laid down the certificates with the re-
mark:
Fffm going to take one chance in five
hundred and ask the Lord to help me
through, for nine cents on the dollar
for any kind of stock is something that
no Christian man was ever expected to
put up with, even when the stock is
gift. Please give me a receipt, and let
me hope that in the midst of this haste
TO get rich you viii not forget that

@'Did you hear about that boy being
washed ashore ?" asked Gilhooly of one
of the most prominent citizens of Gal
weston.
r'No; when did that happen
''This morning"
"How was it,"
"He was washed ashore by his
mother. You don't suppose she weuld
take him out into the middle of the

in order to elect him and claim him az

the state government from the democrats,

The following marriage lincensos

Several persons in this vicinity are
intending to visit the Eureka Springs
shortly-some through curiosity and
others to test the curative .pgoperties o.
the water there.
"A "medical spring" has been dis
covered in the vicinity Of Mountain
Home, Baxter county, which promises to
rival the Eureka fountain, as it has been
"put in the papers" and people are al
ready gathering around it, laying Of and
purchasing town lots, and erecting bath
houses.
-Mr. J. D. Hankins, of this place, has
been quite sick for several days, with
typhoid fever We trust the people Of
the town and vicinity particularly the
young folks who have no families to take
off, will see that he and all others who
may need attention in the way of sitting
up nights and administering medicine,
while sick, are not neglected.
-Parson J. Il. Short, of Richwoods
township, was in town and called on us
this week The Parson, being a candi

tinctly understood that he is farmer,

give the number of acres of land which
he has in cultivation, and its annual pro,
duct, which we will do at another time.

dleston, j. 3. McCaleb and VIM. Cochran
went on fishing excursion to Spring river
last week. They caught d sufficient guam

TO bring home. Some of their neighbors,
who were fish hungry and expected a
treat in that line, on their return, are
charged with circulating a report that
"the boys" starved OUT and had to
return home for food. we think this is a
mistake.
"A picnic was given at Melbourne,
yesterday, by the members Of the temper

Evening Shade cornet band, by invitation,
went over and furnished music for the
