THE FARMERS VALUE.
His Horses and Wagon Were
Worth $225. But He Was
Only Rated at SO.

1t was clean case Of negligence
on the part of the engineer. He
should have whistled at the crossing
and slowed up. He did neither.
Farmer Boffin, driving into market
on load of hay, was half way across
the tracks when the express struck
the wagon. Farmer Boffin and the
two horses never knew what struck
them.
These facts were laid before Julius
Burnett, solicitor to the railroad,
and he said in his pleasant way !:
Farmer Boffin will cost about
$4,000 more than he is worth If the
case goes to court. We must settle
this with the widow at once"
So Mr.. Burnett adjusted his cler-
zeal white tie and took the first train
for Moons Rest. 1t was a hot and
dusty walk to the Boffin farm, but
when he clasped Mrs. Boffin's ha nd
and murmured few words of apollo
getic sympathy, the attorney was the
cooler of the two. Then he began :
+" The Atlantic and Northwestern
Railroad Company have sent me,
madam, to offer their deepest SYM
pathy. No accident on their line
has been so deeply regretted, as
sure you, madam, andn-
"Them horses was wuth plum

rubbing her eyes with the corner of
her apron "Joshua wouldn't take

tinued Mr.. Burnett, "our company
is deeply grieved-Mr. Boffin was a"
SAN the wagons all knocked to
kindlin' wood" interrupted Mr..
Boffin's relict.
"That's precisely what came to
see you about said the attorney,
changing his course to catch the
wind. In an hour like this, when the
hest is bowed down, little ready
money is often very desirable, and
/ see you are woman who believes
in doing business in a business.li like
manner. Now, those horses, Mrs.
Boflin---I feel sure our company
would replace them. 1t can be done
for $3.50, can't it Say one-fifty.
1.-TWO hundred dollars won't buy
them horses equals" said Mrs.
Boffin, decidedly.
"Then we'll pay 5000 for the
horses" cheerfulIy assented the
lawyer. snow, for the wagon-we
are prepared to be liberal; we know
what it is to lose a wagon in this
heartrending way-shall we say $25

Mis-. Boffin nodded her head and
murmured: sits nothin' but kind

Boffin took mp the parable with !:
"Josbua was a powerful worker !;

farm, and hired mems so wuthIess.n
"Precisely, Mrs. Bofin; let's say
$40 for Mr.. Boffin, and Ill draw you

the credit of Mrs. Boffin's bank ac-

HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
She cannot mend, she cannot make;
To save her life she couldn't bake
A simple loaf Of bread or cake;
At housework she cannot assist.
In all such things she takes no stock;
She don't know how to darn sock;
A cradle she could never rock
But she's a fine fiIrtationist.
She cannot make plate OF hash,
But she can dress to cut dash;
She knows just how to make o mash,
And has dozen on the list.
The man who marries her Will get,
A perfect jewel richly set,
For though she may be worthless yet,
She is a fine flirtationist. Al

Oil Company Fails.

PHILADELPHIA. July 24-The councils
investigating committee had another ses-
sion today William H. Kemble and Will
liam L. Elkins, traction railway magnates,
testified that they loaned money to Bards-
ley with which to buy Chicago and Phila-
delphia traction shares, and he closed out
at a profit. Auditor-General McCamant
said emphatically that he had never receiv-
ed. directly or indirectly, one penny of the
money mentioned in the experts report.
He also denied that various sums credited
on the stubs of Bardsley's checkbook
to Nice" were ever received by
him. The advertising business had
been transacted through Captain Grafin,
for number of years employed in the
auditor generals department, and who
died last year. Witness had reason to be-
lieve that a rebate was paid by the papers,
for the reason that Graffin had intImated
to him that certain political debts had to
be paid, and that they were settled in this
way. He also understood that the news
papers that did not get advertising were
taken care OF by those who did get it.
After McCamant left the room Commit
teeman Elting stated that notwithstand-
ing the auditor generals denial it had
been his (Elting's) intention to examine
him upon certain documentary evidence
in his possession, but upon advice from
the district attorney that it would be
unwise to make public disclosure of the
contents of the documents at this time he

J.F. Singer, connected with the Fourth

ton he had with Marsh, the fugitive pres
ldent of the Keystone bank, after the in
stitution was closed. Marsh told of his en-
deavors to prevent the closing of the bank,
saying: 81 tried to bluff Wanamaker. but
failed" Marsh also told him he tried to
get Wanamaker to use his influence to
have the bank kept open, but that gentle
man declined to interfere.

can; Robert J. Cook, of the Press: William
z. McCully, of the Bulletin; Edward Nor
WITT, of the German Democrat, and James
Elverson, of the Inquirer, proprietors or
managers of papers alleged to have paid
rebates In the mercantile appraisers list
for advertising, were sworn. Their testi-
mony was to the effect that they could not
get advertising without paying commits
sion of 40 per cent to the person bringing
it to them, and as they could print the
matter and make profit after paying the
commission they did so, as matter of
business. None of them had knowledge
that the commission was to either Bards-
ley or the auditor general Cook was
asked to whom he paid the commissions in
1891, Captain Grafin having died in 1890.
Cook declined to reveal the name, saying
the person was not public officer. The
others also declined.
