a hand-organ in that city which resem-
bles Emma Abbott in one respect: 1t

any emergency.
Hiawatha World: When w. p. Ba-
ker sold the morning telegraph iran
chise to the Capital the railroads paid
the bill, $4,000. Now it is clear enough
that Baker made $4,000. How much
| did the railroads make?
| The AtchIson Champion has discov-

make the bones of the old Knownothing
