ORIGIN OF THE TERM DARK
HORSE.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Many years "befo' de wah" there
lived in Tennessee az old chap nam
ed Sam Flynn who traded in horses
and generally contrived to own a
speedy nag. or two which he used for
racing purposes whenever he could
pick up "soft match" during his
travels. The best of his flyers was
a coal black stallion named Dusky
Pete, who was almost thoroughbred
and able to 60 in the best of compa>
ny. Flynn was accustomed to sad
die Pete when approaching town
and ride him into it to give the i'm
preston that the animal was merely
"a likely boss, and not flyer. One
day he came to town where ooun
try race meeting was being held, and
he entered Pete among the contest
ants. The people of the town, not
knowing anything of his antecedents,
and, not being overly impressed by
his appearance, backed two or three
local favorites heavily against him.
Flynn moved quietly among the
, crowd and took all the bets that of
fered against his nag. Just as the
flyers were being saddled for the
race old Judge M'Minamee, who was
the turf oracle of that part of the
State, arrived on the course, and was
made one of the Judges. AS he took
his place 10 the stand he was told
how the betting ran, and of the folly
of the owner of the strange entry in
backing his plug so heavily. Run
ming his eye over the race the Judge
instantly recognized Pete, and he
said, Gentlemen, there's a dark
horse in this race that will make
some of you smell hell before supper ;
The Judge was right, Pete, the dark
horse, laid back until the three quar-
ter pole was reached, when be went
to the front with rush aud won the
purse and Hymns bets with the
greatet ease. Ever after that the
horsemeu of the vicinitp fought shy
Of dark horses, and it would be well
enough if political parties would do
likewise.

TIE FIRST MAN WHO ATE CROW

The origin of the phrase "eating
crow" is appropriately revived III
these convention days. An old farm
err on the Hudson, below Albany,
took summer boarders to exc out the
profits of his farm He sold the
very best of all of his farm
products, however, and often palmed
eff on his boarders "s!ore" articles
bought at a lower price. To their
murmurs he replied: Il kin eat
anything, | kin eat a crow" Ibis
remark was repeated so often that
one of the guests finally shot crow
and got the cook to prepare it for
dinner. Fearful, however, that the
farmer might have stomach for such
dish, the bird was literally season ,
ed while cooking with Scotch snuff.
The farmer was rather taken back
when the dish was placed before
him, but had too much pluck to give
in beaten without a trial and attack
ed the bird, with the remark: 81
kin do it," At the second bite he
repeated, II kin eat crow" and, as
he suddenly suspended the opera
ton of cutting the third mouthful
and began a retreat toward the door,
he added, but dang me if l banker
arter it !"

TRICKS OF TRADE-A CANDID EX
PERIENCE.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Press says
H p. Webb, The vessel broker Of
this city, was years ago dry goods
clerk 10 the leading establishment
then in Cleveland, Webb related
some of the tricks of the trade, to
which twas then necessary to re
sort. Said he:
In those days broche shawls were
all the style. We had a nice lot
ranging fcom SIS down. We kept
as good as there were made. Some
New York houses sold them for as
high as 5000. but the price gas a
fancy one for the baneft of foolish
purchasers who valued an article in
proportion to the price that was set
on it. One day there came into the
store with the wife of the owner of
the principle hotel in Cleveland the
wife of Toledo Spectator in grain
who had just struck it rich. She
looked at the shawls, and was pleas
ed with $50 one with light cen
ter, but when | told her the price of
it she remarked that she guessed
she would send to New York, as she
wanted something better.
| knew that all above $50 that
she paid for a shawl would be "fsn
cy," so told her to come in in the
morning, as we were expecting some
higher priced shawls. After she
had gone | took the shawls down
cellar, combed the fringe and put
them under a hand-press, finally do,
ing them up in an express package.
When she again came 10 | asked
the book-keeper if those shawls had
come. He handed me out the pack
age, which | undid. She selected
one with a light centre. | told her
that was the best one of the lot and
we should have to charge Sl20 for
it. She took it, tickled to death
over her bargain. 1t was the S75
shawl that she had rejected the day
previous. Her lady friends were
so pleased with her purchase that
she was thereafter rated as a good
Judge of sbawls, and was selected by
them to make their purchases in
that line. | don't know whether
women are any better shoppers now
than they were in my day, but |
presume that clerks do not resort to
the tricks of the trade which our en-
ployers then compelled us to do.

WHAT He Took FOR LUNCH
On a rainy day man went into a

TOO MUCH MONEY.

According TO correspondent o
the Cincinnati Enquirer, at Titus
vile, the Standard Oil Company, al
loss what to do with their sccumu-
lated capital, are buying up wheat
leads, and intend to purchase and
cultivate million acres of the best
lands they can find, and, by other
supplementary arrangements, con-
troll the wheat market of the world
They have now a purchasing com-
mittee in the field, at present in Min
nesota, which travels in a special
car, land when they encounter a tract
of land that suits them, it is at once
absorbed. Much of this property is
in the shape of land grants TO rails
roads.
1t is the intention of the Standard
to possess a million acres of the
choicest wheat lands of the West be-
fore another year. The chances are
that they will have this enormous
quantity inside of six months, as the
work of buying is being carried on
in the most princely manner. -
Whole townships and counties are
passing in blocks into the hands of
the Standard. 1t is said to be the
most gigantic land speculation that
any country has ever known, and
yet so secretly has it been carried
on that nobody outside of the giant
oil monopoly knew of it until 10000
acres had been gobbled up. These
enormous purchases are being made
from the profits of the Standards oil
business, a large percentage of
which comes in the shape of rebates
from railroads. None of the compa-
ny s capital stock is being tied up in
this land grab.
Discussing the big speculations,
prominent railroad man says: in
this railroad managers see some of
the results of permitting a corpora
ton like the Standard Oil Company
to extract drawbacks and rebates on
shipments" Aside from rebates on
freights, large portion of the 'Stan>
dard's profits comes from their MAJ
nipulation of the oil markets. These
are but two of the sources whence
the monopoly can draw for the cap
ital they are now investing in these
Western lands. A corporation that
can increase its assets to S22,OO0,-
600 in ten years on capital of
500, 900, control Legislatures and
the three great trunk lines of the
country, is probably not pressed for
funds. The opinion obtains, among
those who are cognizant of this move
of the Standard, that the object is
to get control of the wheat market
as they now control the oil market
They will be large producers of
wheat, and, if necessary, large buy
ers as we'll It is thought their pow
err over the railroad, as shown in the
transportation of oil, will enable the
Standard to say to the world just
how much it shall pay them for its
daily bread.

The biggest brute 10 the small
State of Delaware is farmer who
lives near Bridgeville. He mislaid
his pocketbook, containing a little
over Sc, and accused his hired man,
Ezekiel, of stealing it. Ezekiel said
he didu't. The farmer insisted that
he must have done SO, and, calling
two of his neighbors to his assistance
he tied, Ezekiel's hands, placed a
rope around his neck, throwing the
other end over the limb of a tree,
and with many oaths, threatened to
hang him. In order to emphasize
his remarks he gave the rope an oc-
cssional pull. Finally, after tying
him to the fence and threatening to
shoot him if be attempted to escape,
the farmer went into the house and
found the pOcketbook just where he
had lef&it.

Patrick Clark and his wife left
their baby with Ann Davis, a San
Francisco negro nurse, and for three
years neither paid the board nor
showed it any attention. The white
child regarded the black woman as
her mother. At length the Clarks
desired to reclaim their offspring,
but the woman Davis would not give
it up. They therefore waylaid the
couple, and the mother carried off
the youngster, while the father
whipped the nurse SO unm ercifully
that she died.
