The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-08-07

In connection with the American
tin plate bunco game. Hon. David A.
Wells saws that by the tin tariff in
the Mckinley bill the Standard Oil
monopoly will be benefited to the ex-
tent OF 81 100000 a year in draw
backs on the tin used in it's export
packages. Mr.. Wells says that the
notice was served on Mr.. Mckinley
and his republican associates by the
Standard Oil people that unless their
interests were taken care of by the in
sertlou OF a provision allowing a
drawback on imported tin plate used
in the expectation of domestic pro-
ducts they would defeat the bill. The
provision was inserted and under it
this wealthy monopoly will get in
tin plate for less money per box than
ordinary consumers will have to pay.

SheddingH His Duster.

Yesterday forenoon a tall, slim
man, wearing faded Greeley hat,
and well enveloped in a linen buster
of ancient date, entered the Wood
bridge street station and said to the
the sergeant:
81 just came in on the train. Look
at me and see if / resemble Capt.
Kidd or Charlie Ross"
l can't see that you d." replied
the sergeant.
'But people are all looking at me
and grinning. Anything wrong in
my dress?"
'Well, that-that buster is little
off, perhaps"
ooh, it's the duster!" People don't
wear 'em any more, eh?"
"Not that style and color"
81 see! I'm a little ancient!'
ga trifle."
swell, off she comes. I bought it
in this town six years ago. The man
warranted it to me as combination
buster, hammock, flying lib, liver
pad, bed-blanked, burglar-alarm, life
preserver, and certificate of moral
character, and it has pulled me
through steamboat explosion, two
railroad smash ups, hotel fire, and
half a dozen free fights. Kinder hate
to go back on her but style is style.
If the style has changed then I've
got to change with it."
He pulled it off, rolled it into a bun
die, and laid it on a chair and said:
"Give it to some poor and discon-
ISOLATE man-some one who hasn't a
sensitive soul. It has kept out the
flies, warded off the moths, and saw
ed me from rattlesnakes and mad
dogs, but the time has come when
we must part. When Istrike Detroit
and hear boy call out: is that
thing alive" know he means me
and that buster. When Igo up street
and a man calls out: Schooner
ahoyP l know he means that buster
and me. When | go into a car and
see the women look me over and then
hitch away know they are wonder
ing which OF us is who and whether
it will bite or not. I'm too sensitive
by half, but can't help it. I leave
her in your hands. Good-by."-

an eminent physician called at the

story about the case. When Wild

to secure the services OF an undertaken.
Henry Wedekinst was engaged. He
supervised in person the preparation
of the body for burial, and at last,
when all was ready, the widow was
brought into the room to take last
look at the remains of her husband.
AS she looked she discovered that
something was wrong with the body.
She looked again, and then turning
to Undertaken Wedekinst she said:
"This is not Georges coat. There
must be some mistake" II think it
is" said Wedekinst. cit is the one
that was given me for the purpose. !"
"No, it isn't" said the now indignant
widow. "The coat he was to be
buried in was Prince Albert,
and you We got it on!" Sure enough,

Women Never Read a Sign.

"Why SIR" an infuria ted CORE
spondent says, 81 want to tell you a
story. On one of the streets leading
off fremont street there is a large
blank wall of a building and on this
blank wall a neighboring photog-
rapher has erected a showcase. 1t
is full of his cards, with name and adj
dress on each, the entrance to this
place being the next door to the east
of the showcase. But of course all
around the showcase is blank wall.
Well, l stopped there the other day
to look at a photograph of the
Harvard nine, and just then two
well dressed ladies came up. Can
you tell me, SIR one OF them said, in
a piteous sort of tone, after they
had stood still a few moments, how
to get into this placer
"'What place, ma'am,' said I; the
photographers Yes said she.
Next door that way I said, looking
aghast that any one should ask such
a question. The two started for the
place. Walking right by the slab
which had upon'it the addresses of
all the occupants, including the pho
tographer, they stepped into the
back entrance to dry goods store
which is there. In a moment they
came laundering out and then went
into the back entrance bypure ac-
cident, l suppose, because they never
stopped to look at the sign. Now,
do you pretend to tell me, sir, that a
creature who thinks she can get into
a blank, dead brick wall and find q
photograph gallery in there some
where knows enough to vote?" Ban
