CINCINNATI has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in o store on Walnut
street to make a few purchases. The
only light in the store was q candle
standing on the counter near the money
drawer. After making his purchases
he handed the proprietor bill, and,
after handing him the change, the pro-
prietor walked to the rear of the store
to arrange something, when suddenly
he was left in the dark. He started to-
ward the counter, and, grouping around
on it, found, not the candle, but the
change. It struck him then that prob
ably the man, in q fit of absent-minded-
ness, had taken the candle instead of
his change. He started out after him,
and, catching up with him, saw that he
had the bundle in one hand and the
candle in the other. After apologizing
for the mistake the stranger took his
change and gave back the candle.

The Beef Combine.

ST. LOUIS, March 14.-Ihe convention is
about twice as large as expected. The Kan
sas delegation presents body of solid, able
men. The members are evidently men of
ideas and of inherent strength. Whatever
the result of their deliberations will be, it is
Clear from their appearance and from the
earnestness of the discussion at the outset
that the work of tbs convention will be
thorough and with the serious purpose of
bringing up the pearls of fact from the oys-
ter bed of testimony. This testimony vii
be of vast amount on both sides of the ques-
ton.
Senator Gillett thinks there is strong
behalf of the combine. He says that he has
information that there is $45, 600 here now
in the interest of the packers, and he rea-
Lies that the fight will be warm and that the
odds are heavy against the accomplishment
of the full purpose of the convention, 80 far
as that purpose affects the recommendation
of stringent legislation to meet the evil.
In saying this, it should be stated distinct
ly that the delegates from the varions states
are men of integrity and intelligence,
picked men from their respective legisla-
lures, but if Senator Gillett's information ia
correct, the obstacles are great in the way
of accomplishment of the purpose of those
who are convinced that combine exists
be severe.
The election of Senator Gillett as tempo
rary chairman and permanent president of
the convention, was tribute to his earnest
ness and his early introduction and advocacy
of the resolution calling for such interstate
convention. He was applauded vigorously
on taking the chair.

The story is told that when Commo-
dore Vanderbilt asked Samuel Barton
to take the treasuryship of the steam
ship company he hesitated on the
ground that he was not book-keeper.
"You can receive money, can't you?''
asked the Commodore. YES" Mr..
Barton replied meekly. "And pay it
out when I tell you to do 500" con-
tinued the Commodore. "Yes." "And
give me what's left over?" eyes.
"Well, that's bookkeeping" And Mr..
Barton became treasurer. He is now
one of the executors of the will of the
Commodore.

GAMBETTA died six years ago. II

GAMBETTA died six years ago. His
memory is sincerely cherished in
France. Nothing" says writer in the
European edition of the New York
Herald, "has been altered in his bed
chamber. The bed on which he battled
with the destroyer is strewn with flow
ers laid on it by loving hands, and on
the wall still hang the withered wreaths,
the number of which increase every
year." His old friends are fond OF
dwelling on his cheerful temper, his
joyous laugh, his character so free from
bitterness and rancor.
