price on them to close them
out quickly.

changing. 1t is always our

bic for the money. For in

to sell the old stock at 75c,

upon a shady grass plat, listening to the de.
lightful music and quafing froth,

lieve it. Was it only q Sunday

Scekirg ous Mr.. Spoerl he demanded an ex-
PLANTATION. Didn't 1 rent this land to you

with rage, Yes sir, 1 rented it for q garden
"A beer garden" replied Mr., Spoorl. This
was too much for Mr., Donovan, who would
have aunihilatod Mr.. Spoerl had it not boon
for the intervention of the bystauders, among
whom were some we'll known citizens and a
prominent brewer. Mr.. Donovan finally con.
clnded TO raise the rent TO $50 per month, not
expecting that Spoerl would be able to pay it,
no being q poor man, but Spoerl, who was
backed by the brewer. accepted the PROPOSE
ton at once, and remained the lessee. MIR.
Donovan, however is considerably put OF
about the affair, and may sellthe property, for
which we understand he can get SS5, 900 from
the brewer already referred to, as he wants to
convert IL into a beautiful park, for the sale
of his beer.
Col. L. +. Hooker, who is well known in

corning him;
Col. Il. L. Hooker, of Das Moines, Iowa, q
short, stout man, with n flowing white beard,
o ruddy face and a black SLOUGH hat, sat in the
Fifth Avenue hotel the other night, waiting
for a stage. He was once a stage owner him
self, proprietor Of the Western stage company,
which sent stages across lows before thei g
were any railroads. In connection with the
stages was an express service, and it is one of
Col. Hookers pleasures, now that he has re-
tired from active business and ieywealthy, to
watch the fortunes of tho young men who
were his messengers in that services. He de-
lights in the record that only one has gone to
the bad, and most CT them have become
wealthy. But he is the proudest of u. H.
Motfatt,. of Denver, president of the First
National bank and of the Denver & Rio
Grande railroad, Moffatt had charge Of one
of his strong boxes for eighteen months.
Then he drifted ON to Denver. He opened a
bookstore, and when he had bought au ST.
500 stock, for part of which he went in debt,
he thought he had conquered the world. 1t
was only a short time before he had $500 BOO
in stock, and when he divided with his part
ner to become treasurer of the bank, his share
was q cool 800, GOO. He is worth his mil
lions to-day, and Col. Hooker credits it all TO
the old express line experience.

is extensively planted with fruits of various
