Abraham Lincoln Gould TRko n Joke n
 We as Gave One.
 Those who knew Abraham IincC!n bet,b knew that he cou. d taKe as wei. q, givo in the matter of joke, says the Chicago Journal. In the spring of 1S4s he left Springfield H., for Washington by stage to accept the Commissioners ship of the General Land Office. In the stage were Thomas H. Nelson, of Tcrre Haute, afterward Minister to Chilli, and Abraham Hammond, aftCrward Gov ernor of Indiana. They found Lincoln asleep alone, with his long, lank form stretched across all tho seats. After slap on the back he sat up. and the, inventoricd an individual dressed in n worn and ill-titting suit of bonn bazine. without vest or cravat, and palm leaf hat on the back of his head Here was a subject and the pair proceeded to per petrate several jokes. Lincoln took them with the utmost innocence and good nature and joined in the laugh, al- though at his own expense. When they stopped for dinner the conversation turned on the new comet of that year, and at the table, with the twcnty-tiye- cent palm leaf under his arm. Lincoln asked: What is going to be the up- shot of this comet business?" Nelson replied that he was inclined to the opinion that the world would follow the darned thing off" The three did not meet again for years-not until Lincoln arrived in Indianapolis on his way to Washington to be inaugurated President. As they approached the door of the office in the hotel long arm reached out and a shrill voice ax claimed: Hello, Nelson! Do you think, after all, the worlds going to follow the darned thing off?"

A TRUE KENTUcklAN.
Beeraying His Nativity by His l.ovo fs
 Whisky and HorSe.Flesh.


 Whisky and Horse-Flesh.
 Once, when I was editing a paper in Cheyenne, having strayed as usual into the rotunda of the Inter Ocean Hotel, seeking to discover topics for editorial mention, I saw that there was only one man in the room, says 8 writer in the Tacoma Globe. He was an elderly gen. tleman, in suit of blue jeans and oroad-brimmed hat, and his mustache and goatee were as white as snow. I fell easily into conversation with him, and he had spoken but Q few words when l knew he was Kentuckian-be- ing Kentuckisn myself. Having been rubbed against the hard side of tho world for many years can discern the difference between dialects in many of the Southern States. After a short con versation the old gentleman injected:
 ''I gether, sah, from yo' mannah of speech that yo' ar Southern man, sah. Elf it's far question, sah-what DOT tion of the South ar you from, sah?" -- 70 replied: "I am Kentuckian, sah." Great heavens, is that SOP" he ex- claimed. Look hyar, sah, I am Ken tuckian myself Gust as if I hadn't known it), and this is jest about the time f day, sah, that am in the habi. Of 1ndulgin' in somethin' in the nature of stimulatin' beverage. Won't you walk with me into the other room, sah, and partake of something of that char actah, sah?"
 Very promptly responded ''yes," and we walked away together. As we were going along he placed his hand on my shoulder in very fatherly sort of way and said. inquiringly: "You like hoss, sah?"
 "Yes," replied, nobody likes good horse better than do, sah."
 That's right" he continued; "that's kaintucky, sah."
 When we had reached the counter he said to mo in an almost pleading tone, as if he feared might do something to belle my nativity: "What are you go- ing to choose in the way of beverage, sah?"
 Almost ignoring his question spoke, to the gentleman in white on the other. side and said: "Give me a little clar. whisky, sah.''
 The old gentleman caught both mv hands in his and said, with an accent of, the deepest satisfaction:
 By grit! You a Kaintuokian, sah. and I'm glad to meet you, sah."

THE PRICE OF SUGAR.

It is said that the wholesale grocer, have combined tu get increased profit ol sugar ,and that the trust will back them bestowing special favors on those wh, stick to the list of advanced prices. Pos sibly, one of those days tie retailers may combine with a similar purpose, buI probably not. No other article in com mon use pays so small Il profit as sugar does to the retailer. The consumer buy single pound of sugar at tritling ad. vance upon the wholesale price. The profit is so small that the down weight and the paper and the waste of handIu. use it nearly all, and the grocer gets very little for the trouble of handling The reason is that sugar has for year, been "a leading article" in the grocery trade. It has been sold at just abnu cost in order to attract other business If the retailers should combine to get fair profit upon their sales of this artirl,, the consumer of sugar would. indeed be in hard nl,ce

caught him in the act. What do the
people care whether Nicoletti was in
