understan' me when 1 say it. If you
don't stop blowin' an a-snortin' about
lendin' me that money, I'll shut off your

me, an YOU know it, an, more'n that,
don't intend to let you lie out of it
Don't say word, you old blatherskite.
The tongues of old fools have caused ME
enough trouble lately-caused me an

Old Meek had attempted to say some-
thing.

to stand it no longer Don't say word,

git about ever cent that's made in this
neighborhood, an then when man
wants little accommodation you go
around an blow about it
Every one gazed at Jim, but not

He snatchel the knife out Of Alfs
hand, and, so quickly that wide awake
eye could scarcely follow his motion,
stabbed the old man.
Jim sprang through the door and dis
appeared in the darkness. They took
old Meek from the floor aud tendarly
placed him on the bed
"Alf, said the old man, "Tve bled on
your land, but / couldn't help it, Alf /"
The boys were in the back room of the
store, sitting up with the old man.
Several days had elapsed aud physician
who had just left thought he might
recover. He was resting quietly; the
boys were playing cards
~Gentlemen-"

"No don't want nothin', an above all

GENERAL PRODUCE.
Some butter dealers claim TO be getting
slight advances over quotations. but they
cover the general run of sales. The receipts
OF all classes of butter are light, and the mar
ket is kept closely cleaned up, especially on
anything fit for table use. Most receivers are
not getting enough TO supply their regular
customers. Packing stock is in good demand

quotable at S4.75. The supply Of ducks is
small, with good demand and very firm
prices Pheasants are i'll small supply and

and choice apples are in better supply, but
the market is firm and prices quotably

MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.

Wheat was easy yesterday morning, but adj
yanced on good buying later. Money matters
appeared 10 be quieter, and there was some
confidence that the worst was past. London
private wheat cables quoted that market
firm. while public cables said it was 4d
lower in Liverpool than Friday. French
country markets were quoted unclaimed.
Buy ers in the British markets were reported
holding off. There was some good buying

CASH WHEAT.
The cash wheat was dull. with all buyers
holding off for developments, excepting
to supply actual requirements. The local
elevator companies, did very little excepting
few of them that bought fairly well. Mil
lers who wanted wheat to use bought it, but
took little more than that. Trade was
slow in starting and was dull all through the
day, The general markets advanced and
prices here were better but there was lack of
confidence, Wheat receipts for twenty-four
hours were 526 cars, with IO5 cars shipped.
Duluth received 2I2 cars.

How Doctor Lost a Wife's Con.
fidence, But Gained the Hus-
bands.
New York Tribune
The sick man had sent for doctor,
much against his will; but his wife had
insisted Oh it, and he gave way.
The doctor came and looked grave.
He felt the patients pulse, inspected
his tongue, listened to his heart, and
then sat down in silence to think
awhile. looking Oracularly wise through
his SpectacleS.
The first thing he said was:
do you use cigaretteS?''
"There!" exclaimed his wife. az al
ways told you so, John Henry. Oh,
Will you smoke those hurtful things?
You see the harm they have done you
Is perceptlOle to the doctor at once. Oh,
doctor, You will forbid him to use them
any more, will you not? Pm so glad we
called you in.
Wei, you see, DOCTOR" replied the
patient, somewhat ratified at this on
slapght of his wife, and ready to throw
something at the dOctar's head. aid
just as ready TO punch his own for allow
ing himself to be badgered into calling
in Il physician at all: Il only use the m
spar!ngly. A couple of boxes day. at
the outside, and Pm sure | don't use
nearly as much as l seem to do, for
only half smoke them, taking pull or
two, and then laying the cigarette down
on my desk, and forgetting 1t many
times till it is almost consumed
''Oh. you smokers always have some
way OF decelving your friends, and even
of binding yourselves to your own ey-
cesses," brokein his wife. 1.-The doctor
will know best, l am sure, and you will
not be foolish enough to go contrary to
the advice of physician on that point.

Nonsense. Jane" said the patient
rather sharply. How you do lump at

added anXiouSiy.

There, Janet" said the sick man tri-
umphantly.
Tobacco heart. indeed" replied the
wife. You may not have gone so far
as that yet. There are plenty of lesser
but still serious complaints that your

has brought upon you; else why did the

"Why did you do so. doctor?"

"Hurrah for iniquityw howled the
