A statistician puts the price paid for
the food of the people of these United
States, one year, at $4,000, 900, 900.
That would be little less than 500
on an average. The amy ration
cost about 20 cents, and some OF the
best regulated public institutions of
country supply food for their inmates
for less than that. 1t is estimated by
Mr.. Atkinson, who makes such mat
ters d study, that "the average
standard daily ration OF actual work
ers. mechanics, artisans, factory op-
eratives or laborers, represents an OK.
peuse of 25 cents, including meat,
milk, eggs, bread, butter, vegetables,
sugar, tea, coffee, fruit, salt, etc."

The CRY of the Dreamer.

The Cry Of the Dreamer.
1 am tired of planning and toiling
In the crowded hives of men;
Heart wear of building and spelling,
Aud spelling and building again,
And long for the dear old river,
Where dreamed my youth away
For a dreamer lives forever,
And toiler dies in = day.
am sick of the snowy seeming
OF the life that is half a lie;
Of the faces lined with scheming
In the throng that hurries by.
From the sleepless thoughts endeavor
l would go where the children play
For dreamer lives forever,
And toiIer dies in day.
I feel no pride, but pity,
For the burdens the rich endure;
There is nothing sweet in the city
But the patient lives of the poor
Oh, the little hands too skillful
And the child-mind choked with weeds!
The daughters heart grown willful,
And the fathers heart that bleeds.
No, no from the streets rude hustle,
From trophies of mart and stage,
would fly to the woods low rustic
And the meadows kindly page,
Let me dream as of old by the river,
And be loved for the dream Away,
| For dreamer lives forever,
And a toiler dies in day.

TIGER BILL.
The Most Remarkable Cowboy Of the
Age.

The Most Remarkable Cowboy OF the
Age.
The CIRCUS season is over and num-
Der of people who have been on the
road in one capacity or another are
making their temporary headquarters
in this city. some on the lookout for
winter engagements with various shows
or museums, and some without much
care whether they do anything until
next spring or not. A few of the guild
happened to assemble at John Claney's
theatrical stage hardware store in
North Salina street Saturday afternoon,
and entertained each other with remin-
iscences of their summer work.
"When we were at Olean." said Tom
Dolphin. who was with Pollman's circus.
I'VE picked up gigantic ]umberman
named William Pike. who had never
been further west than Michigan. We
proceeded to- bill him as Tiger Bill a
noted scout sud reformed desperate.
He was an aufully big fellow, but as
tender as a chicken and wouldn't dare
shoot cat. At johnson we got five or
six tame Indians and painted them up
to kill: Then we started wild west
show to top off the performance. III
ger Bill was announced as the best shot
and altogether the most remarkable
cowboy of the age. He would come
into the ring, sniff. cry: "Ha, I smell
Injuns," and then stalk stealthily
along until he discovered them lying in
ambush, when he would blaze away
and kill ill but one or two, whom he
would finish with knife. The audience
was assured that he obtained his name
from the fact that he once killed three
tigers on the plains with one shot. He
loved to impress people with the notion
that he was very toug b cuss Every
hotel we'd 60 to he'd say to the wait
ress in deep, bass voice, which you
could hear all over the room, ''Brins
me two pounds of raw beef and pint
of blood" The girl would reply that
she couldn't get the blood, and he
would resignedly ask for milk instead.
The raw beef he ate right along.
don't think he liked it, but he worried
it down in good style. After while
in addition to his wild west show act
we got him to do feats of marksman.
ship. He would knock the pipe out OF
the mouth of the man smoking it OF
brush the ashes off cigar with his
trusty revolver. The weapon was load
ed with blank cartridges, and the
moment he fired the other man would
bite the paper stem in two or bite the
cigar so suddenly that the ashes would
tumble Of: One night when Tige,
Bill had inspired the audience more
than usual with sense of his ferocity,
he essaycd to shoot the ash off cigar
in the mouth of one of our boys, who
for the fun of the thing, wouldn't dis
turb the ash, but kept smoking the
cigar as cool as before. Tiger Bill
fired four or five unsuccessful shots
and then the audience began to laugh
and hiss, and he ran off into the
dressing-room in a rage. "--Syracust
