Statesmen and Chuck-a-Luck.
From he Hmm TImes.

From HE AI6dRy Times.
Henry Watterson loves to tell the story of
how Hon. Albert 5. Willis got into Congress
IL seems that in some by gone day he and
Judge HOke, both of Louisville. were Demo-
cratic asprants for Congress. The odds were
pretty evenly divided, and the Democratic
mInd IN the district was n tOpsy-turvV eN-
cltement, when HOke suggested that the two
settle il by the method OF the honorable and
dlgnlned game Of "heads ami tails" Willis
was willing and to use the words of H. w ::
1t was rare sight. There were two gem
tlemen, representing all the dignity and in
tellBence OF the great Democratic party ID

III order TO show their d'slntCrested devotion
to that party, the grave Judge placing his
ambition on the head of the com, whiIe the
astute Congressman uttered tail Head
lost and tail won, and HOke at once with

lots OF tun about the affair, and perhaps it
had something to do with growing the moss
on Willis who always has Is in his mind.
"Why, yes he said to me, lit is true The

teen years, and IN order 10 settle the contest
without unfriendly feeling we determined the

The agitation over the prohibition Of
preaching on Boston common appears 10
have been uncalled for. A general ordi-
nance against preaching there was passed
in order 20 keep lunatics and cranks from
gathering crowds TO the annoyance Of the
public, and TO the injury Of the cause Of
religion. The good preachers who were
fined for violating the ordinance, il
appears, were "a trine fanatical. They
could easily have procured permission
20 preach on the common had they de-
eired to do so. Now that they were fined
and advised by the Judge 20 submit
themselves to the powers that be-" they
do not receive much comfort or sympathy.
Their friends can only regret that they
placed themselves In so unpleasant a po-
eitiOn.

He Took What He Could Get.

A good many of those who sought Office
under the administration applied for
places much more important than they
expected to get, or to which their merits
entitled them. MANY expected, doubtless,
that their applications for first-class
places would assist them in getting third
or fOurth-class places, by creating the
impression that they were persons OF
much more Importance than they really
were. The plan was successful in a few
instances and in many it failed.
One of the officeseekers who made a
great deal of noise when he appeared at
Washington was William Condor, of
Chicago. No other applicant for office
had so many petitions begging the Presi-
dent to regard MIR. Condor with favor,
and in the interest of no other candidate
were so many letters received by the
President.
Mr.. Condor wanted the mission to
Italy. He believed that he was IN every
respect fitted for it, and Improbable that
he was right, because Mr.. Astor, who
occupied the place under the Arthur ad-
ministration, says that there is nothing
TO do but to draw the salary.
Mr.. Condor was unsuccessful. The
place WAS given to a Cincinnati man.
Mr.. Condor, however, did not give up in
despair and declare that the whole world
was against him. He went back to Chi
cage and applied for place in the Mar
shars office. A Chicago telegram of July
saws: "To-day Mr.. Condor sat upon
the deck of the sidewheel steamer Sagl-
nav and watched the blue waters of the
Chicago river as they rippled by under
her keel. Some people might have
thought he was brooding over his misfor-
tune, but they would have been mistaken.
The Saginaw had been libeled for $500,
and the law had laid hands upon her. MIR.
Condor, as the representative Of the law,
sat upon the deck Of the craft, her custo-
dian. For his services he received 81 80
day. The salary Of the Minister TO Italy
is $8l go day"
Mir. Condor showed the right sort OF
spirit. He couldn't get what he wanted
and so he took what he could get

Public Printer Rounds, it seems, has

The winter wheat crop of the town
of Elk will compare favorably with
last year with Il much larger acreage.
The wheat appears 10 be in fine con.
dition and has been damaged but
little through the winter although
the recent heavy rains and snow
storms will be a dampner OH all kinds
of grain sowcd on low lands, there
being full as much water on the level
as any time during the early spring.
People are still wearing overcoats
and mitts.
Farmers can do but very little on
their farms and the outlook of a good
spring crop is dull.
Last week fire broke through the
roof of Vapcamp's hotel, but was
extinguished before much damage
was done.
Benedict & Waterman, the leading
firm in dry goods and grocery bust
ness, are having fine trade this
spring. Their grand success is due
to being always found honorable,
