a DISAPPOINTED FARMER.
An Osceola County Man Who Came
70 This City 10 Buy Jerseys.

Old Sol Carver has lyedfor many years on
farm in Osceola county. lie Is a born
Democrat, dyed in the wool. For every evil,
financial and physical, ,he has held the Repub-
liean party resIoEslb bic, and has predicted the
most dire results II the 'radikels" were con
tinued ia power. his last crop Of wheat lay
unsold IN his barn. He declared that he
would dump i into the Hersey before he
would sell il for seventy cents. The election
OF Cleveland filed him with happiness. lie
hailed it a. the dawn of an era of prosperity
unparalleled. About a week ago he sat down
d read Grand Rapids paper which came 10
his house around a package. An advertisement
IN large type arrested his attention. II read:
Great Sale OF Jerseys at -- No. --
Monroe street, Grand Rapids, commencing
Saturday morning, January u. Jerseys for
$I5O." He could scarcely believe his senses.
lie rushed to the kitchen where his faithful
spouse was at work, and said exctedly:
They've come" What's comet was the
2 )od wife's question II be good times. /
told yer what we'd hev when the Dimni-
cratic party was III. but l never dreamed
they'd be here so soon. Everything Is goin
TO be cheap. They are gOin 10 sell Jerseys
at the Rapids for $l.50. Why Blodgett
wouldn't sell one of his'n for hundred dol
lars. Things'el be different now we kin all
have Jerseys. I'll sell evry kernel of wheat
and put it all in Jerseys"
The program was carried out. The wheat
was drawn and sold, and with the money
s.wed in his inside vest pocket the old gen.
tleman came TO Grand Rapids Friday after
noon so as to be on hand bright and airly"
Saturday morning when the sale opened
On getting of the train he was accoSted by a
Times reporter, whose appearance aroused
his suspicious. He looked at the young man
a moment and walked off. Zone o. them
bunko chaps" he was heard to mutter
to himself. Early Saturday morning he set
When he found it he looked astonished.
Queer place to sell Jerseys" he thought.
Entering the store he found the proprietors
reading The MORNING TELEGRAM. He arose
and asked: 'What can we do for you?" Il
seen your notice of a sale of Jerseys and l
will you have?'' "What color" said Sol in
surprise. II never seen but one color in Jer-
seys." ooh, yes, we have them in almost all
colors," and the proprietor procured half
dozen of the garments for Soils inspection.
Sol stood still with amazement. whats
them?'' he finally gasped' ''Wny they are
Jerseys" Jerseys" roared Sol. "Oh, lord,
thought you was goin to sell Jeysey cows" ="
he could not say another word. He left the
store and slowly wended his way to the depot.
chill has come over the spirit of his
dreams. He is fearful that the promised
prosperity may be an illusion. No one has
dared to say Jersey in his presence since.
One of his boys who asked him a question
about New Jersey was sent supperless to bed,
the old gentleman constituting the question as
covert allusion to his expedition. He will
read no moro advertisements.
