A FOOLED BOOK e

A young man with a large book under his
arm and a s~even-by-nine smile on his mug
stuck his head into the ticket window at
the Union Depot, and asked the clerk what
the fare was to San Antonio.
"Ten dollars and fifteen cents" replied the
ticket singer.
II am pining to leave Galveston, but l lack
just $40 of the ticket money. However that
shan't part us. I'll make a partial cash pay
ment of Is cents and take the rest out in
trade"
'.What do you mean by taking it out in
trade ?"
81 am a book agent, and if you will let me
have the ticket, l won't try to sell you a book.
I won't say book to you once. This is the
most liberal and advantageous offer ever
made to the public, and you ought to take ad-
vantage Of it. l have been known to talk a
sane man so completely out of his senses in
fifteen minutes that he wasn't even fit to send
to the legislature afterward."
"What BOOB have you got," asked the tick
ct agent.
A beaming smile came over the book
agents face, and in a slng-song voice he be-
gan.
81 I'm offering, in seventeen volumes, DR..
| Whifietree's Observations in Palestine, a
book that should be in every family, a book
that comprises the views of the intelligent
Doctor on what he saw in the Holy Land,
with numerous speculations and theories on
what he did not see, altogether forming a
complete libraryof deep research, pure the
ology and chaste imagery. I am now Offering
this invaluable encyclopedia for the unprece-
denied low price of So a volume, which is
really giving it away for nothing"
After the book agent had kept this up fol
about ten minutes, he began to grow discour.
aged, for, instead Of showing signs of weak
ening, the ticket agent. with an ecstatic smile
on his face, begged the eloquent man to keel
on.
The book agent stopped TO rest his jaw
when the ticket man reached out his hanC
and said: "Shake, old, fel! Come inside
and take a chair, and sing that all over again
That cheers me up like a cocktail. 1 uset
to be a.book agent myself before L reformed
and went into the railroad business and tina
is like music to me. Il soothes me all over
1t calls back hallowed memories of the past
and makes me want TO go out on the loat
again. 1 would rather pay 500 than hav'
you leave Galveston. You must come arount
every day. l could listen to that all day ant
cry for more"
The book agent shut his book and said
"Some Internal hyena has given me away
but there is another railroad that I can sc
out of this one-horse town on. III not consen
to travel on any road that don't employ gen
tlen4en who can treat a cash customer will
common politeness. You can't capture m
book on any terms, and if you will come on
of your cage iii punch your head in les
time than you can punch a ticket" And b
passed out like a beautiful dream.-NearS.

HOW HE WAS LAID.
Wall Street News

1t was IN a smoking car on the Hudson
river road. A New Yorker was exhibiting
all invention to several gentlemen, when all
old farmer with a settled look of sadness on
his face, heaved a sigh and said
81 never see such a thing without wanting
to weep"
sNothing about this invention TO weep
over, that l can see" replied the inventor.
sWel, it sort O. calls up old recollections.
Twenty years ago this fall l thought l had a
fortune in my grasp. Yes sir, | believed l
had struck the biggest thing since steam was
brought into use"
"What was it,"
Gone day when the old woman was flat
down with her lame leg l had to cook my
own dinner. After I'd got the pancake bat
ter all fixed up l couldn't find the creased
rag the old woman used to rub over the spi-
der. Sort O absent minded l picked up a
piece of raw turnip from the table and used
it instead 1t worked to a charm; no smell,
no smoke, no stick"
He paused here 10 wipe away a tear, and
then continued.
There was the fortune. l figured that g.
900, 1000 creased rags were used in this coun-
try five months II the year. Fifty thousand
barrels of grease were used up greasing spi-
ders. Over 100000 wasted and gone. One
trrnip would make six greasers 1000 bush
els would maze enough to supply the coun'
try. All that was needed was to cut them
up into fancy style, afix a h9ndle, and go tc
supply the demand at 10 CENTS each"
sThere was money III it,"
..No there wasn't. l bought 100 bushels
of ~turnips, $50 worth of wire, and hired two
men to go to work, and then l took a greasel
and went over INTO Vermont to see how il
would take they would not have it. They
had something more simple and much cheap
err
"What could 1t have been :?
They spit on the spider" replied the ole
man, as q tear made a break down his nose
and was swallowed up in the dust on the
floor.

Sheriff Tom Irvine, who returned from
Glendive Tuesday night, brought with him
James A. Mansfield, accused of killing his
partner, a man named William c. Cole, at
Glendive, on the night of The 23d of Febru-
airy.
1t appears that Mansfield and Cole, who
are carpenters, came from Fargo and COM
menced business in .Glendive this winter.
Cole had some money on s,person, which
fact Mansfield was aware OF, and it seems for
a long time coveted. On this fatal night, 1t
appears from the evidence, that Mansfield
and Cole were walk few hundred yards
from town, when Mansfield took a hammer
from his pocket and struck him a blow no
the head, knocking him senseless. He then
finished him with a few more blows and
dragged him toward the Yellowstone river,
the blood and brains Of his victim clearly
marking the trail. When near the river
Mansfield took a knife and cut all the cloth
ing from Co,e, leaving him dead and naked
in the snow. 1t is not known how much
money he found on the body, but over $3.50
was found on his person when arrested. The
arrest was made while he was in bed asleep,
with a lot of the murdered mans clothing on
the bed. An inquest was held on the body
and a verdict rendered that he was killed by
a hammer in the hands of Mansfield.
One of the most fashionable ladies in Gal
weston does not read the papers much. The
family is wealthy and puts on loads of style,
and there is nothing good enough in Calves
ton for the lady referred to. The other day
she picked up a paper and languidly pur-
sued an article about a horse race in France.
Finally she said, with a yawn, to her hus-
band: "People eat horse meat in France,
don't they?' "Yes, l believe" 81 wish We
lived there "Why SOL" 81 was reading,
just now, about the horse race, and it says
the steaks were 1900 francs. Grub is so
cheap here in Galveston"

Jerry Fahey came in from Gibbonville via
Bitter Root and Bannack road, last week. He
of no great depth. He used snow shoes over
eighteen miles across the divide, up TO the
north fork of The salmon, and the rest of the
way was easily Observation-Disclosures.
