''How is Joe Callahan getting alongp''
asked the Ell Paso Times man.
Zip Top" replied the Marshall man;
"Joe's got big rich off them niggers
around here. He's got the thing re-
duced to a science. He goes for'en for
all they re worth, I tell you, and he gen
orally gets all that's in sight, too. Last
week Jerry johnson, the niger who
lives on the old Smith farm, brought in
six bales of cotton which Joe had dead
grip on IN the shape of a crop mortgage.
After figuring up the nigger's store ac-
count and the price of the cotton, Joe
says to Jerry:
"'Them six bales makes us just exact
~ even, and I've allowed you top prices
on Them
''He did not tell the nigger that he
had allowed him four-story prices on
the bacon and flour he had advanced
him in order to make it Just exactly
even, although he could have done so
without the slightest damage to the great
cause of truth.
"'Well, says Jerry, reckon hits
mighty lucky dat I lef' zone bale at home.

Hold on, said Callahan. sI'll be

Doing Him a Favor.

The occupant of an office on Larned
street desired to drop 5000 circulars to
as many residents OF Detroit regarding
a new household patent, and he had
just completed the weary work of direct
ing the envelopes, the other day, when
in came telegram calling him out Of
the city for day or two. He ran into
law office and left his key and explain,
ed that he was sorry lie didn' t have time
to mail his circulars before going. When
he had departed the lawyer said to his
office boy:
''My son, what is life worth without
the good opinion of our fellow-men?''
Nothing, SIR
"Of course not. This afternoon you
80 over and stamp all his circulars and
get them into the postofice. 1t will be
y favor and a surprise to him.
At 8 o'clock in the afternoon the boy
said he had used up all the stamps and
he was directed to mail the circulars
and wait for his reward. It came in q
manner to astonish him. When the cir
cular man returned he rushed into the
law office white with rage, drove the boy
into corner and shrieked out at the top
of his voice:
''You Internal idiot! You licked three
cents on each circular!''

Zulu Origin of Balloons.

The Zulus supply US with theory Of
the origin of balloons. To a Zulu a ba-
boon is much less an animal than q
man, whose Transformation he is quite
able to explain. 1t is one of Tusi's men,
he says when he kills one; and Tusi was
q man Of the Amafene tribe, people
so habitually idle that they would al
ways eat at other peoples houses rath-
er than dig for themselves. Tusi, their
chief, one day led them into the wilder
ness, where the handles of their digging
implements gradually turned into tails,
their foreheads became overhanging,
and their bodies covered with hair; and
from that time they went to the preci-
plces and have had their dwelling
mans once Of the storks; they were
born as men in other parts of the world.
and came to Germany in the form of
birds. Corstil Magazine.

Tunnin' little Toads.

One of the gems of children's enter

ance of three performers of the mature
age of three and four years, who APP
peared as toadstools with surprising
naturalness of effect in an ingenious cos
tune. They recited the following lines:

A Pike County Small Bow.

"Where'd y get 'em?'' ..Wel, l
might q ketched EN- in the Sawkill or
the Raym' skill, or the Capow. Or, 1
might yanked 'em out O. Gordon 8
mill-pond. / didn't though. But I've
got 'em''
The Pike county small boy knows
that If he brings in a nice mess of trout
before anyone else has had good luck
on any Of the streams he is of as much
Importance as circus procession, and
that the chief end of man in the place,
for the time being, is to find out where
lie caught them. A specimen of him
came into the Crossman house, at Mil
ford, Pa, the other afternoon. He had
basket OF trout that set everyone era
zy. Some New York fishermen were
stopping at the hotel, and the landlord
was anxious to find out for their benefit
where the trout had been captured.
Hence, his query as above, and the ex-
tremely satisfactory response of the boy.
''Doyou want to sell emp" asked the
landlord.
Eyes. I'll sell 'em,'' said the boy,
but the price I've sot on 'em mebbe
won't suit you. They'm 60 cents a
pound, these is.
''Ill give you 20 cents q pound, if
you tell me where you got 'em," said
the landlord.
The boy scratched his head. He look
ed his trout over, as if he was ponder
ing the question Us to whether or not it
would be q good stroke of business to
sell his secret with them. Finally he
said:
If you'll make it Is I'll go YOU"
1t was q bargain. The trout were
weighed, and the money counted out to
the boy.
Nov, then, where'd y catch emp"
said the landlord.
81 said I'd tell you where got EN-, y
the small boy replied, as he walked to
the door. II didn't ketch 'em, traded
six fly hooks an that chestnut fish pole

A Valuable Cow Pasture.

On Peachtree street, Atlanta G. :. is a
lot fronting $50 feet, filled with oak
trees, which has history. Five years
ago an old German by the name of
Seltzer was prevailed upon to buy der
sey COW. Frank Rice, now Georgia
legislator, at that time owned this lot
and wished to sell it. Real estate was
dull, Frank praised the COW great
deal, and had several of his friends call
on the German and speak of the an
imal's fine qualities. Before leaving
each would suggest the propriety Of
buying q fine pasture for so fine COW.
After some weeks Settler one day said
to Rice: Il. shust believe I will buy
pasture for my COW; where shall l get
it, Frank?" Of course Frank did not
know OF any place, but in q day or two
he might find one. He was too willy to
appear anxious to sell the lot, which
was outside o. the city limits, and two
miles from the center of town to Settler,
so he sent another friend, who sugges-
ted that Rice's lot was the exact thing.
Settler examined it, liked the place,
called on Rice, who, after considerable
apparent reluctance, consented to let
his German ncighbor have his place for
$4,000 just as an accommodation. Being
only $50 feet frontage on Peachtree
street, and running back 4OOfeet, it was
then considered an enormous price, and
everybody (Rice included) laughed be-
hind Settlers back. Soon after a boom
started. Rice offered So, 900, then ST.
O00,, and finally $4,000 for the lot, now
known as Settlers COW pasture, but to
no effect. Each time Settler would say:
"Myicow is a. very fine one and needs
y fine pasture Finally $4,000 was
offered about a year ago, and the old
German said; ''My COW is worth $685.
900, and she must have $25, 1000 COW
pasture. A few months ago the COW
and the calf died. Now the property is
not for sale at any price, being burial
lot for the Jersey COW, and "Seltzer's
COW pasture" which for four years was
used for nothing but grazing u COW and
calf, is pointed out to passers by as one
instance of the fabulous growth in price
of Atlanta real estate. Brookly,1 Ea-

Scene In a Canadian Court.

Ottawa, Oct. 27.-The scene in
the Court of Assizes to-day at the
conclusion of the trial Of Morgan,
for-the murder of Maroney in
Toronto in August last, was one
of tho most extraordinary that
ever occurred in a Canadian court.
The jury were cut about an hour
aud returned with q verdict Of
murder, with recommendation to
mercy. Judge Galt said: "Gen-
tlemen, | cannot accept that YER
dict; you had better retire and re-
consider it,"
Queens Counscl-But, my lord,

Judge-Mr. Britton, stop. You
have nothing more to do with the
case. III take the responsibility,
Of what I'm doing.
Queens Counsel-But submit
there is evidence which warrants
the finding Of the jury.
Judge-No such thing, Gentle
men, you had better retire again.
For two minutes not juror
moved, each man sitting rigid on
his seat with eyes cast down. The
prisoner, who had examined each
juror as he entered the court,
gave a slight start as he heard the
verdict. A look Of surprise stole
over bis face, which actually
changed to a broad humorous grin
when bis I.ordship declined to re-
ceive the verdict. Seeing that
the jury made no movement to
