He Was Wrong.

''Can speak to you moment ?"
he said softly, as he called the chief
clerk in the post-of6ce to the window
the other day.
"Certainly."
"Thanks. I didn't know but you
were busy. Two months ago I came
here and asked for a letter. Re-
member it,"
81 do not"
"Probably not, as you are always
busy. I didn't get any. I gave it
as my opinion that some of you had
stolen it. Remember?'
"No."
"Probably not, but I spoke very
emphatically. That was my opinion,
and went away feeling very much
hurt. Remember ?"
"No."
"Probably not, as l am of no great
consequence. I now desire to ask
your pardon. Will you forgive me?"
"Of course"
"Thanks. I believed you would.
You see, I expected a letter from my
aunt. None came. She couldn't
write one. She was dead. See !?
Therefore, how could I get one? 1
take it back. | apologize. I was
wrong. Shake"
"That's all right"
"Thanks. I'll never do it again.
This is an honest postofice. 1 was

mary satisfaction for alleged injury
received at my hands. ! reply and
say that you are most infamous
falsifer of facts. l, sir, am the in
jured party and I hereby demand
personal satisfaction for the insult
offered, according to the code of
honor. PROF. M. D."
When the injured party received
the above note he had another fit of
frothing, and he swore by all the
surrounding rocks (Which echoed
back the oath) that another blood
atonement had become necessary for
the salvation of mankind. He pro-
ceeded to brush up his Calling gun
and charged it home with lead, fully
determined to put something solid in
the professors head, and as he was
proceeding on his mission, he was
intercepted by a fellow friend, who
dissuaded him from his purpose and
pointed out a safer method of pro-
ceedings. They returned to the ho-
tel, where the friend wrote the fol-
lowing note to the professor, to
which the injured party subscribed
his name:
"To Professor M. D.-Dear Sir
l have the honor to acknowledge
your note of this morning, in which
you claim to be greatly injured by
me, and in which you demand per-
sonal satisfaction according to the
code. Thanking you for the oppor-
tunity of adjusting our mutual mat
ter of difference, and not wishing to
take any undue advantage of your
honor, l will meet you on exact and
equal terms, and as you are the chal-
longing party, it becomes my prerog-
alive to choose the time, place and
manner of our meeting. l propose
that we meet at ten o'clock to-mor-
row morning on the summit of the
government tower on hot hill un-
armed and unattended. there and
then to join in trial of strength and
skill, the party winning the first fall
to be declared the victor, the falling
party the vanquished. This may
seem a novel proceeding, but it has
two merits. 1t will prove conclusive
and evade the law against dueling.
Your acceptance is most respectfully
solicited. V. ""
The above was conveyed to the
professor, to which he refused to an
swer. The next day the injured
party wrote third note to the pro-
fessor, in which he denounced him
for coward, quack, fraud and
yellow-livered mule thief. The final
day of the victims doom is close at
hand. But it will positively require
another chapter to record the events
of single day. Very truly,
BADGER Boy.

formed the visitor that the Professor
refused to appear, claiming that he
was not an itinerant doctor. Anoth-
er doctor was summoned who re-
lieved the patient. This awakened
a suspicion in the minds of the visit
ors that there was something wrong
about the professor, and they resolv-
ed themselves into a committee of
five to investigate the matter, and
they learn that few years ago the
professor was horse-farrier or mule
doctor in Mississippi, and that he
had left that state under the force of
circumstances. This discovery broke
the camel's back. No more mule
medicine, no more baths. During
the next day the afflicted guest wrote
note to the professor, charging him
with malpractice and demanding Pc
cuniary satisfaction for injury re-
ceived at his hands. The note was
delivered by special messenger and
answer demanded. The professor
scanned the note with whitening
scorn, and Selling his pen, wrote the
following note;

An Economical Contrast.

In 1916 one bushel of corn would
buy one pound Of nails. In 1889 one
bushel of corn will buy ten pounds OF
nails. In 1916 a pair Of woolen blan-
kets cost as much as a COW: in 1889 a
COW will buy fivcpairs of woolen blank
cts. In 1916 it required sixty-four
bushels of barley 20 buy one yard OF
broadcloth; in 1889 sixty-four bushels
of barley will buy twenty yards OF
broadcloth. In 1916 it took twenty
dozen eggs to buy one bushels of salt /;
in 1889 twenty dozen eggs will buy ten
bushels of salt. In 1916 it required a
bushel of wheat to buy one yard OF
calico; in 1889 one bushel Of wheat
will buy twenty yards of calico. With
these figures before them who can just
ly claim that farm products are not
improving? The outlook for the pro.
ductions Of the farm is certainly hope
full. The farmer can exchange his crop
for more of the necessaries of life than
at any former period in the history Of
our country. Wall Street Np;cs.

A Rosy View Of the Futu tufe.


There is a little ril
At the foot OF the hill
And n little old dam
And a little old mili
Shabby and STILL
And the little old miller who once WAS there,
With snow white clothes and powdered hair
Who measured the grain,
And took the toll.
He fs now silent and "a still
As tho moveless wheels in the little mill
And no sleeps in the churchyard cold and lorn,
Near the little mill where he ground the corn.
But the ril runs along
With the same old song
And the same fresh glow
OF years ago.
Warm and rpsd, it nsysr Grows oil !; sss .sgs !
And its banhs stilf bloom with crimson am
gold.
Just rs 1t did when the miller was there
With snowy garb and powdered hair;
And tho life stream flows
Through joys and woes;
And others now ride
On the life long tide,
Just as those did that went to that mill
just az those who follow us will,
Till the wheels Of time shall stand as still
As the ratt ing wheels of that old mill.

things. viz: % to change their binders in
to haryesters, with platforms for hand
binding;l ~ to change self binders into
headers; 90 to curtail the output OF small
grain Whenever experience shows that
there is doubtful profit,
