DeIiGhtful Half Hour Of q Gentleman
who SPOKE . Piece In missouri.
From Tfd-Dits.l
Down In Southwest Missouri fsur OF five
years ago, town had all arrangements made
to whoop 'sr up On the glorious fourth. The
citizens had contributed in liberal spirit, the
day was fine, and the crowd large and snthu-
siastis. The crater Of she day was q slim

stand OF and look him ever, you'd have bet
yeur last dollar, that an old gander could
have run him all around q tsn-aers dela. There
were ssne lofty spirits in tewn that day, and
one of them was Jim Bucks, mixture Of
patriotism, whisky, high jump and rough
and tumble. Jim sized the orator up, deter
mined to have some fun with him, and took
a seat directly in front of him as he stood On
the platform to speak. The orator hadn't
spoken hundred words before Jim interrupt
ed him. He did this twice more and was
warned to 60 slow. He didn't 60 much on
dreams or warnings, however, and watched

The orator made q long jump, lighted down
on Jim Bucks, and inside Of two minutes he
had him licked so thoroughly that Mrs. Bucks
would have passed him by for a splatter Of
pumpkin jelly which had dropped from q
dinner basket. Whom satisfied that his
work was thoroughly done, the orator re-
turned to the platform and continued In the
same calm and unrufaed tones:
g. liberty Of speech and freedom of
conscience, and they found them at Ply

He went on and delivered really elo-
quent speech, lasting nearly an hour, and he
was just concluding when Jim Bucks
erawled out from under wagon half mile
away, where he had been laid, and queried
of those around him:

Immediately knocked fat by the collision;
but instead prepare yourself for short ran
with the horse. Measure with your eye the
distance, start for the run while he is yet
some distance off, perhaps ten feet, in the

horse that he again has a master, AID pre-

The Cost Of Feeding a Boy.

1t is worth something to know what it costs

THE ELECTIONS.

VVlNSe
The elections Tuesday resulted in many
things pleasing to the Democrats. So pleased
were they that many of their newspaper
organs felt obliged to put forth their start
ling reosters and other concomitants Of vic
tory. But there was really not much to
crow over as might be thought from peru.
sal of the headlines in Democratic newspa-
pers. It has long been noticed that at the
first election after new administration takes
hold the opposite party is pretty sure to
show what it calls "gains." This is natur-
al and easily explainable political phenome-
non. There has been no "upheaval," as the
Democrats will find to their sorrow when the
real test comes

Nebraska Blow Wells.


The blow wells to be foHnd on the divide
between the Middle and North Loups present
an interesting field of study for the natural-
list. They seem to act like an air shaft in
connection with sone current of air. When
the wind IL in q certain direction the current
of air is outward, or, to use the local phrase,
the we'll blows; at other times the current il
downward, or the we'll sucks. The current
in some instances is SO strong that hat
thrown down into the tubing of bored well
will be blown out, or If the current is down.
ward hat placed over the tube will be drawn
into the we'll.
Many of these wells are the deepest in this
part of the country, being dug to vein OF
gravel which lies on level with the river;
they reach depth of 100 to 200 fest. When
the current is downward these wells often
freeze to depth of 1870 feet, and case has
been reported in the Times in which .
pipe was burst by frost at depth Of eighty
feet.
It is the general opinion among those who
have Investigated the matter that the stra-
tum of gravel in which water 10 found conn
municates with the river, and that there fs
| an air passage as well as q water passage. It
| is we'll known fact that when the wind
blows from the river toward the we'll the wa-

from the opposite direction, but it is rather

VIII There BE a Corner In Teaa

From the London Financial NewsI
The position of the tea trade at the present
10 unique, or nearly so. China teas have for
several years been deteriorating in quality,
most of the really choice tea produced being
Immediately bought at the opening of the
Hankow season for Russia, at prices which
are prohibitive to English buyers. The Chi
nese, in allowing this deterioration of their
crops, permitting their tea to be represented
in our markets by thin and Indifferent quail
ties, have till now loftily ignored the weighty
competition which has arisen from India and
Cey1on.
The visible stock of China tea, including
that announced by telegraph to be afoat, Is
about seventeen million pounds short of the
estimate. From India we have received
about two million pounds less than last year,
instead of about five million pounds more, as
was estimated, and of Ceylon tea the delive-
ries were last month absolutely double the
imports, while very small further ship
ments are coming forward. -
Last year it was calculated that & Dh
million pounds less tea of all kinds was I'm
ported into this country than was actually
consumed, and If no alteration takes place
and it seems hardly likely there will be any
lin the outputs from China, it is probable
that this year the imports of tea will be
some twenty-five million pounds short of the
quantity actually required for consumption.
In spite of this shortness of supplies, COM
mon China Congou is almost as low in price
az it has ever been known, and, had it not
been for the terminal market values, would
probably have fallen further.
This deficiency in the supply of common
tea, at all events for some months to come,
has lately attracted attention, and prices are
steadily tending upward. The wholesale
trade, the grocers and the packet firms, have
long been accustomed to replenish thei,
stocks whenever they needed, and to fine
plenty of any kind Of tea just for the ask
ing; but now that the shortcoming Of com.
mon tea is apparent (the grades they mostly
depend on to enable them to keep the Low
quotations they are accustomed to advertiss)
they must lay in a stock, even at the ad
vance.
We are under the impression, from al
that can be gathered, that some people whs
arc always on the lookout for opportunities
of this sort have already commenced opera
tions in tea. These, If the signs Of tn,
times are to be depended upon, may shortly
place this market in a similar condition Il
that of the cotton market in Liverpool, ONLY
the operation will be based on much soundel
grounds, and will be justified by the existing
conditions of supply.

was caused by report which Chandler had
made rejecting on Secretary Villas and ex In

Senator questioned the facts stated in the re-
port and asked where Chandler got his infor
nation. Chandler became indignant and
said he did not propose to be bulldozed by an

who reached across the desk catching Chand.

as though he intended to give him spank
