nidn,t Owe Him a Cent.

A gentleman who rode down the street with a South Side feed and commission dealer the other day was surprised to hear him utter a low, chuckling laugh as he paused to let a pedestrian have chance for life on the crossing. ''See that mani" he asked; ''the one with the light suit?" "Yes; what about it?:" Nothing, only he thinks he owes me S4 or s, and he don't owe me a cent" How is that" ''He used to trade with me, and onevery order for food or oats he gave me he would be twenty or thirty cents short. Of course that was nothing, and he would pay me the next order. But the next order he was short again, and so on It was his little game to beat me. l sal up nights, studied hard in the rules ana finally beat the game" "How?'' "Why before delivering his order opened the sacks and took enough oats to cover hi shortage and squared his account. Nov he has quit trading with me and zoe around the block for fear I will ask hin to pay up. But he don't owe me cent and he is just as welcome to trade wit me as ever."-St. Paul Globe.

nordshure,s Liberal Llarl

Dr. H. R. King, the popular and well known dentist, had quite and ex- perience among the Mormons at Solo monvllle last week. The doctor went over there to do some work, and, of course, took along the dental engine, forceps, gouges, drills and jack screws every first-class dentist is supplied with. This made an imposing array of baggage. A little Mormon said to the doctor: "Be you a drummer| He said he was not, whereupon the youngster wanted to know what he was doing with so much baggage then. That said the doctor, is the impedi- menta necessary for the successful prosecution of my profession Thls staggered the youngster and he lied. | Some of the old Mormons heard the explanation and were as badly mysti- fled as the kid. There was a consult ation of the church authorities anc thev came to the conclusion that the doctor was there for a purpose tha struck at the vitals of that section o the Mormon church located in Ora ham county, and determined to ac accordingly That night the docto

George Eliot's Grave.

George Eliot's grave, in Highgate cem- eterv, London, is reported to be in as disgracefully neglected state as her publishers report her books to be. The author and her works seem to have equally passed out of the public mem ory. The grave in Highgate. overgrown with grass, is typical of the rest. Phil osophical writing, even in it's lighter form of fiction, has a small hold on the popular heart. Scott and Dickens live after generations, while George Eliot i' commencing to be forgotten almost be fore the worms have plucked her bones -Pittsburg Bulletin.

The quality of periodical literature in the United States-the essence of our national literary pride-is thus ques- toned by a southerner in The Whining ton (N. O. Messenger: "The mag azines of our time are far better printed, Of better paper, are much larger, are superbly illustrated for the most part, and far beyond anything known thirty years or more ago, and. much more widely read, and pay much more fiber ally for contributions. But Is Harper equal to the very best of the illustrated magazines, and possibly the best-any better now in its literature than prior to 1860 or earlier? We very much doubt it.
 Is The North American Review ahead as to style and ability of the old Whig Re- view or The Democratic Review? Very doubtful again.

 silos This Autumn.
 Professor J. w. Robertson, of the On- tario department of agriculture, sums up the whole silo question as follows:
 1. It is essential that the slo be air tight and frost proof.
 3. The crop to be ensiled must be grown to a stage when the several plants will be almost mature.
 3. The crop to be ensiled should be put in loosely at first, to permit of quick and . sufficient heating; only the sides and cor ners shoul9 be tramped.
 4. The filling may proceed every day. every second day, or every third day with equally satisfactory results.
 5. The silage may be covered with cut straw to a depth of two feet, or it may be left uncovered altogether at the ex- pense of wasting only the top six inches
 In the following four sets of conditions and results have tried to put the whole ! theory. By life" I mean life as il the cells, or life in the spores, whicl would be destroyed by a temperatur, above 125 Fahrenheit.

Proeressive Theology

A certain evangelist in Western Nir ginia organized a Sunday school, and by dint of diplomacy obtained a goodly fol- lowing of youngsters into whose uncomb- ed heads and pliant hearts he instilled the rudiments of religion. Neither did he spare the corrective rod in case his charge failed to come to taw with the catechisn, One Sunday new arrival was discov- cred over in the boys corner. He was called down before the teacher and cross examined with view to learning his re- ligious requirements.

SAN LoRENZA'S RIDE.

eeI'm now coming to the most curlouS incident of that terrible night" con tinued the cap'n. Before the trouble the harbor was clear, but now an island mountain 400 feet high rears its head near the northern shore of the harbor.
 A lighthouse graces the top of the
 island. which is down on the map as | San Lorenza, and one of the prettlest
 and most romantic of the many Peru [ vian legends is told in connection with I fine naming of the island. It was named ! after San Lorenza, the man who discov- cred the mountain, and is an intensely
 interesting story when told in Spanish
 I heard it in that language myself, but
 as none of you fellows understand Span
 ish I'll tell 1t in English.
 'sMr. Lorenza, or San, as they called
 him for short, was a fisherman, and went
 out to sea every night in his frail Peru
 vian bark to fish for hake and hadd0ck.
 The native fisherman has light sliff ol
 canoe in which he plies his calling and
 one paddle. He sits on his knees in the
 stern of the boat and fishes with a line
 200 feet long, using his front finger for {
 Dole. On the fatal night of Oct. 29 Sar ! had just got bite when he heard th'
 omin0rls rumble. Before he could eithe- land the fish or grab his paddle he fel himself going up in the air. It was S dark that San couldn't see anything, S he clutched both gunwales of his boa and hung on. Presently there came ar , other jerk, and the fisherman went up few more feet.
 ''The unhappy man was too trlghtene [ to move, so he sat there, going up b r jerks, until daylight. Then San peere Y over the edge of his boat and found hin Ii self sticking on top of a mountain 4C $ feet in the air. The peak was so shar Il that it pierced the bottom of his boat an # stuck up four feet above Sans head. Il
 still hung on to his fish line, which ha ] ahorse macllcrel dangling from the hoo ] dead. halfway down the mountain. II ] survivors discovered San in the mornir and that is the beautiful legend of no ! San Lorenza got it's name"
 Y "How did they get Lorenza down Nf % the mountain?" asked the lubber. - T was just going to tell that" |" sa ..iI the cap'n in an angry tone, "but as V | seem to be in such a devilish hurry 2 let you wait awhile" And the crus x. -'l sailor walked away.-ChicaGo Tim' iii For single or double team harnt
