Although they looked SO we'll satisfied
each one of them lacked something
You might suppose that they had served
in some doll battle, for one had lost a
leg, another had a withrred arm from
which the sawdust still dribhled. and
another, with the most placid looking
blue eyes, had a CHASTITY wound in tn"

Concerning the sale TO Jay Could

property for 100000 at foreclosure
sale, when ii was in very unprom-
ising and bankrupt condition. When
Mr. Gould wanted to buy the road he
sent Russell sage To make the ncgo-
tiationS with the commodore. The
latter was smart enough to know
that Mr.. Gould wanted the Missouri
Pacific very badly.

Mr. Garrison.
Dear me" said Mr.. Sage, in,jnuat-
ingly, "whN, you only paid 100000
for it YOURSELF
"rhe price to you is $4,000 900"
chats too much, said the frugal
Mr.. Sage.
"Good-day, sir" wa, the reply.
Next day Mr.. Sage. after consulting
with MIR. Go Id, came again to see
MIR. Garrison.
II think wen take the road at your
price, Mr., Garrison said he
What price"
"Why, S2,0o0.0O0."
THAT was Yesterdays price. To-
day want S3.OOO.OUO."
Good gracious, You said yourself
that you would sell for $1,000 OUN
so would if you had taken it
then. Now want 100000 Ifyou
will take it now YOU can have it tor
that. If not it will cost YOU more"
The good Mr.. Sage was greatly
perpleNed, and said he would have TO
consult Mr.. Gould again. lie begged
Mr.. Garrison TO wait until the next
day, and not make another raise in
The price, but the shrewd old gentle
man would not promise.
On the following day Mr.. Gould
himself came to see Mr. Garrison. aud
it was diamond cut diamond. The
great operator was willing to give
&3,OUuOu0, bat Mr.. Garrison had adj
yanred the figure again to 100000.
This MIR. could refused topay. where
upon Mr., Garrison quietly announced
his intention of extending the line of
the Missouri Pacific so as to make il
run parallel with some Of Mr. Could
western roads, and take away the
business of the latter. Then Mr..
could came down aud paid the
