Elmina was defeated by few votes, and
we both think to this day that Theodore

for. Elmina's, expense for the campaign
and election were large, and her husband
had to borrow money and give a mort

Close Competition in the West.
Boston Record

Speaking of close competition, the his
torian is reminded of a case out West that
probably came as near bringing business
down to hard pan as anything that Mass
achusetts dealers are familiar with. Two
rival general dealers" struck new town
with their commercial curiosity shops the
same day, and each set about running out
the other They dealt in every sort of
goods needed to supply the wants of a
primitive community. One of the dealers,
in order to completely put his competitor
to rout, announced that he would give a
free drink of whisky with every pur chase,
and the business came pouring in.
There hove upon the dealers vision one
afternoon a venerable female, whe pro-
ceeded to unroll from her pocket hand
kerchief with much impresiveness, a
single hens egg, which she laid upon the
counter.
"What are you givin for eggs?" said she.
"Twenty-fve cents Dozen"
"Well, that's a little over cents
apiece" said the old women. What are
you glttin' for darninneedlesl
"A cent apiece"
''Three for . cents, suppose. Well,
take this ere egg and give me three darn
in-needles."
''Now for the drink" said the old wo-
man.
The bottle and tuinbler were set out
and the old woman poured liberal por-
tion into her glass.
81 say, stranger" said She 81 don't like
whisky nohow without without an egg in
it. Break one in, will your"
The dealer shrugged his shoulders and
broke into the woman's glass the egg
that she had just traded" for. And
behold, as he did so two yolks fell into
the whisky.
'Hoory!n said the old woman, as she
drank off the contents of the glass. ITS
a double-yolked egg. Now give me three
more darnin' needles, please, for the
extra yolk."
The dealer passed out the three extra
needles with sublime resignation, and the
old woman sat around as if she were
waiting for something.
| say, stranger" she said finally, you
don't call them last three darnin' needles
new trade, do ye?"
The dealer reached for his gun and the
woman disappeared through the door.

with Persian rag.
Among interesting bits is small oil
painting of the old Surgrave manor-house
in Northamptonshire England, the homes
of the English branch of the Washington
family, broken platter used by Wash

Carolina, a scrap of lace rufile worn by
him and presented by Mrs. Washington
to Gilbert Stuart, rent-roll in Washing
tons handwriting, and an engraving of
Edward Everett, whose lectures were the
first help toward buying the estate in
1857. The room has cosy, comfortable
look, and, excepting little things of
personal value, must resemble as closely
as il is possible to make it at this day its
original appearance when George Wash
ington presided over its hospitable ten

The number of visitors to Mount Yer
non yearly increases, and objects of in

temporary relation to Washington are
continually being added, so that even now
it is the richest collection of real Wash

agement of this charge is in good hands.
