How Mexican Got the Best of a Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Man.
Yesterday afternoon a Mexican walked
into the Missouri, Kansas and Texas up

Smith what the price of two tickets to
the City of Mexico would be.
Twenty dollars and seventy
cents, was the answer.
How much in Mexican money!"
next asked the Mexican
Smith, the ticket agent, knew that
Mexican money was only worth seventy
cents in United States money, and hur-
nedly calculated the difference mentally
and said:
'Thlrty-slX dollars.
"Give me two tickets, - said the Mex

The tickets were handed him and he
took his leave. After he LETT Smith be-

began calculating, on a piece of paper

about dozen sheets of paper, and had

Mexican had got the best of the trade,

smith was about fifty oeuts out and the
next one that he was about $50 out. He
still figured, but to save HIM couldn't
make both ends meet. At last he called
IN help and was told that instead of $50,
he should have gotten from the Mexican
SS957.
Then am out the difference, said
smith with look of disgust on his face,
and calling to the Office boy said:
Take this money down to the Mer-

as much more as you can for it. -
The boy took the thirty-siX dobie dol

The bank don't want them at any

thus making room for q gallery in the

the seating capacity of the car. In ad-

TRUMBULL.

port; Charles Wheeler and l.. S. Mich
OILS attend Bridgeport High school.
The controversy as to the first select
man of Trumbull has not abated and the
parallel case in Bridgeport, cited in a re-
cent BEE, does not satisfy many who
think that the courts really ought to de-
eide the question once for all. Both
Messrs Plumb and Mallett have been
seen by a BEE reporter and both talked
freely on the subject, each averring that
he, personally, cared not flip for
the position of first or third selectman !;
when 1t was definitely settled, each
would take his position without MUIR
muir. GAS received the greatest number
of votes cast" said Mr. Plumb, land as
was declared elected first selectman by
the chairman of the town meeting that
night &C. Newell Brinsmade) / conceive
1t Is my duty to hold that position until
am informed, by due legal process,
that it does not belong to me; | shall
then, without heart ache or hard feelings
toward any, quietly resign it to him who
may be declared the legal incumbent.
And as look at it, | am at present a
town officer; If the opposite party wishes
to GUST me by law, it is the duty of the
town which has elected me to stand back
of me and see that all is properly DONE"
Mr. Mallett said that the matter would
undoubtedly be brought before the
courts, but he was not prepared to state
Just when. He intimated that the party
had taken hold of this question, but adj
ded that all details were not yet ready
for publication. He ascribed the present
unsettled condition of affairs to a slight
unpleasantness between a few Demo-
Gratis, a year or so ago.

affectionate and tender care OF your dear de-
