The first table contains the number OF
prisoners confined in the Kansas State

It will be observed that the largest

Eleventh judicial district, which consists
of the counties of Crawford, Cherokee,
Montgomery and Labette. The smallest
number of prisoners IL from any judicial
district is from the Twentieth, which
comprises the counties of Rice, Barton,

The crime for which the greatest mum.

But an Inquisitive Old Gentleman Was too
Much for Him.
Boston Transcript.
The youth had been patronizing the
young ladies by vouchsafing choice bits OF
superior wisdom. "You remember what
Caeser said when he was about to cross
the Rubicon?" said the old gentleman.
Certainly" replied the youth, with a
careless glance of pity at the young Ia
dies, who of course, could not be expect
ed to know everything that q man
knows. "And of course, you are equally
familiar with the life Of Peter the Her
mit?" continued the old gentleman. II
should say that l was" replied the
young man quickly, but not without q
slightly troubled look in his face. "And
Semiramide." the older gentleman went
on, you recall his famous saying?" eyes"
gasped the youth, wishing that the old
gentleman might be struck with apo
plexy as soon as convenient. 81 am glad
you remember it," said the old gentle
man with animation, "for I've clean for
gotten it. Now, if you'll be kind enough
and no doubt the ladies would be glad to
hear it ALSO"
The youth by this time wished that
the old gentleman had died in infancy,
and as for the ladies, he couldn't help
thinking how much better it would have
been had they never been born. by
the way" pursued the old gentleman,
seeing the youth hesitated, "who was
Semiramide? He had something to do
with the last Franco-Prussian war,
hadn't he?" eyes, 0 yes" replied the
youth, catching at the bait with eager
ness, while something like giggle was
passed around among the young ladies,
as if it were q paper of caramels. "And
Peter, the Hermit, was instrumental in
bringing about a peace at the close of
that struggled" yes" The youth said
this very family. "But Caesar held out
and marched his shattered force into the
Wallachian principally?" "That's the
way remember it." replied the youth,
with desperation born of dispair. Then
the old gentleman looked at the young
ladies, who were engaged in stufhng
their mouths full of pocket-handker-
chief, and then he looked at the youth
and exclaimed: "Ah, sir, how envy you
your store of knowledge! What COM
fort you must be to your parents!' Then
Then the youth got up and went out in
to the cheerless night, and cursed the
old gentleman behind his back. And
the young ladies laughed in unison, but

Eow to Get Trade In Summer.
Albany Evening journal.

Aloduy INShibS 1ouiAots
Entering the store of prosperous city
merchant, yesterday, q gentleman q
stranger in town, expressed surprise at
the busy scene that greeted him. He
inquired of the proprietor how it was
that be was getting more than his share
of business in these dull, midsummer
days. The merchant replied" attrib-
ute the excellent business l do every
summer to just two things: First, /
advertise bargains and keep my store
before the public; second, when the pub
lie calls satisfy it by keeping my adver-
tised promises. 1t cost me $1,000 to
to learn this lesson, and it has paid me
at least $4,000. During three successive
summers during the hard years that
followed 1878, ran behind in this store
on an average of $1,000 every year. /
made up my mind that there was bust
ness to do and that / would do it. In
the middle of the worst and dullest year
that we had, when clerks were absent on
their vacation and half of the force in
the store was idle, stared in and spent
81 200 in advertising midsummer bar
gins, remnants, old stock and so on.
Within q week my store was 80 full OF
business that had to send for every
clerk who was away and 1 added two
extra clerks. That year, instead of loss
of $4,000 in the summer, l made 81 SOC
besides what paid for advertising.
have kept it up ever since. That was
the most expen sive lesson I ever learned,
but it wss the most instructive and the
most remunerative. If had to start in
business again, as poor as when l started
would make it q rule to spend at least
one half of what my rent cost in adver.
Using in home papers. l would not
waste it in cheap methods, but I would
spend it judiciously in the best and high:
priced department and in the hest and
largest papers"

Much excitement has been made by
reports recently published on the vile

is one gin-mill to every hundred persons.

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1885-04-03

Postmaster Pearson, of New York,
whose term Of office expired recent
w, has been reappolnted. BY dint
of personal work Mr.. Pearson work
cd his way up from minor position
in the service to that of postmaster of
the great city of New York; and has
never made his official position sub
scrvicnt to party ends. Last fall the
republican national committee de-
mandcd that he give the employees
in his office vacation on election
day in order that they might go to
the polls and clectioneer for the re-
publican ticket. Although this was
customary, he refused on the ground
that such action on his part would
he contrary to law. And after cleo
ton partisan republicans throughout
the country. who saw in such refusal
the defeat of Blaine and Logan, in
their rage hcaped imprecations upon
the head of Mr.. Pearson for doing
that which he was actuated in doing
by a high sense of official duty. His
rcappointmcnt was asked for by Mr..
Shurz, MIR. Curtis and the entire in
dependent press which supported
the democratic ticket last fall, be-
sides many prominent democrats of
New York. This case will not he a
precedent for the reappointment of
republican postmastcrS at the eXpl-
ration Of their term of office. But
in Mr. Pearson the country has Il
conspicuous example of government
official who regards public office as
Il public trust; and it is mote and
right that he should be rewarded
