NEW USE FOR A BULL.
How a Farmer Got AIS Price for His To-
bacsO Crop.
IPhiladelphia I'm


bacsO Crop.
Philadelphia Tines
"Look out for that bull, partner Hes a
bad one The speaker picked up pitch
fork as he made the remark. he was on his
farm and the bull was his bull. The person
addressed was a well known tobacco buyer
OF this city, who had driven to the lower end
of the county to buy fresh supply.
The farmer had stored his tobacco crop IN
a shed at the end of the barn, inaccessible
except through the baruyard. The bull
seemed to resent this intrusion, and looked
dsggers, or rather horns, at the city man.
The farmer motioned at the ball with the
ptchIork, and the animal kept at respect
ful distance, but followed them to the door
ali the same.
"Ill give you ten cents for wrappers for
the lot" said the man from town.
Ten cents" replied the farmer, "rhst
there is good tobacco. don't care about
selling it now if 1 can't get N ore than that
for it,
"WeD, guess We csn't trade" said tas
city msn turning toward the door.
The bull just outside lowered his head as
the stranger appeared. The Ditchiork which
had been left standing outsids the door had
fallen under the bulls feet. The stranger
quickly went in.
"IIl give you twelve cents

bull. There was pause, during which the
bulls heavy breathing could be heard.
More neg citations followed but the farmer
wss obduIsts. He didn't seem Iocsre 70 sell
the tobacco 81 sill. and there was nothing in
particular 10 call him back 10 the house. So
he began 10 tinker with some repairs to the
she'd.
"Confound iti' mutteTed the Lancaster
man under his breath Il wish that internal
bull would 60 away" But the bull stayed
right there.
''Pl give you fourteen cents" said he,
turning TO the farmer again.
''T~enty cents is my price, sir, " replied
the monarch OF the soil, in a tone of injured
innocence, as though little hurt 81 being
suspected Of sharp practice IN fixing bigger
price than be wanted and then coming down.
The bull gave an impatient snort. ConVsr.

farmer. Nor did the Lancaster man, though
he wanted to.

THE STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Reported Resignation of President Brown.
Owing to Dissatisfaction in the Faculty.

A telegram was received from Terre Haute
last night stating that President Brown, of the
State Normal School, had resigned, but no in
formation regarding the cause of his resignation
could be obtained. Mr.. Brown is one of the
best-known educators in the State, and has long
been at the head of the Normal School
faculty. The announcement of his resig-
nation was quite surprising to the few
of his friends in this city to whom the news was
communicated, in the endeavor of Journal re-
porter to learn something regarding the cause
Of his sudden and unexpected action,
and the report was doubted by all.
When Mr.. Brown was reelected the
second time by the trustees, there was
some opposition to him from among members of
the faculty who objected to his methods, but the
trustees inquired into the complaints and finally
came to the conclusion that they were of little
force The dissatisfaction was queted, and har-
