had heard about the man in Kansas
who was giving away town lots free,
and one day left the train at small
station and hired a man TO drive me
over to the site of the future great city
I found sixty-acre farm staked out
into lots twenty feet front by fifty deep,
but only one house and one person was
in sight. The house was farm cabin,
and the person was the owner of it and
the one | wanted to see.
Come for lot?" he asked, as we
drove up.
Eyes, in case my information is cor
rect. Do you give them away free?"
II do"
81 had heard So"
"Go right out and select any one you
like. Those selected are marked with
red stakes; those not yet taken by black
ones.''
/ took walk around, and made a
selection, and he found the number,
and said
"You want an abstract of title, Of
course. Here it is, and the fee is So"
When had received it he hunted out
q deed already signed, and filled my
name in, called in the teamster and his
wife for witnesses, and said:
'Here is your deed, I'll have to charge
81 for that"

dinner was ready. He invited me to sit
down, but when we were through, he
said:
my charge for dinner is rs cents.
The taxes on your lot will be due next
money. The amount is S1.75, and my
commission for receipting will be %

paid him the sum named, and was
about to get into the wagon when he
said:
1.-The charge for bringing you over
and taking you back is s.. Half be-
longs to me as | own the wagon. One
dollar, please"
Can you think of any thing further"
asked as l handed him the dollar.
"Well, you'll have to stop at the juno
ton about four hours before the East
ern train comes along. l own the res
taurant there. Please eat all you can. ~
81 have said, after little figur-
ing, paid you S13.75 for lot you adver-
tise to give away free. How much dc
you call this land worth an acre?"
''All of six dollars, sir. I've been
offered five and wouldn't take it."
'"Then I've paid you more than the
value of two acres to get a lot large
enough to bury a couple of cows on!''
Exactly, sir-exactly, and l con.
graduate you on your bargain"
''rhen you don't call it a swindle?"
"No, sir! No, sir! A man who will kick
ON buying chunk of the glorious West

Thompkins, I'd advise you to keep an
eye on him going back, and see that he
doesn't jump out of the wagon and blk
you out of your dollar!"-N. Y. Sun.

The Sultan,A Life.

This Sultan very rarely or never leaves
the grounds of Yildiz Kiosk, except to
go once a week to a mosque just out
side, when the very striking ceremony
known as the Selamlick takes place.
Once year, also, he pays a visit to
STEAMBOAT, but the route there and re-
turning is never known in advance. He
is in constant fear of assassination.
Some Grand Duchess whom he received
at his Court, on his complaining that
his health was Indifferent, advised him
to take more exercise and change of air
and to drive about the country. On her
departure he is reported to have said;
"What harm have l done that this
woman should desire my death? Why
does she advise me to run into such

AN UNLUCKY CIGARETTE.
It Costs Man Chance for a Good Sit
uatiOn.

uatiOn.
The question If getting place" al
ways brings up long list of incidents
by which the lucky have got on in the
world and the luckless ones have been
left. In discus ing the overcrowded
condition of the city, it called out one
story that | must tell for the benefit of
the big broad-shouldered men who have
condo scended to the effort of getting
comfort from cigarette so small that
it makes the smoker cross-eyed to look
at it. A gentleman of thirty years,
good presence, pleasant family, etc,
was thrown out of his regular employ
ment through a fire. He advertised,
setting forth his qualifications. The
head of a large factory saw the ''ad''
and thought to save time by taking a
cab right to the number designated and
secure the gentleman's services. He
found the wife at home expecting her
husbands return from dow town. He
waited few minutes when the anxious
wife saw her husband coming up the
street. The would-be employer saw
him also. The young man walked
leisurely until he reached his own steps,
when he turned his back to the house
and proceeded to pull the very last
Whit from the wee stub of cigarette.
Two minutes, three minutes passed.
The wife was nervous. Another minute
and few more whifs, and the gentle
man inside rose hastily and said kindly:
pardon me, but do fYot think l wish
a man who has not yet left off boyish
habits. In my business time is money.
Good-day." He bowed himself out just
as the husband, disturbed by the open
ing of the door, spat the little smoking
stub from between his teeth and passed
! up the steps. He found his wife in tears
and would hardly believe his senses
when she told him how he lost good
employment by dallying with the weed
in small packages.-Chicago Journal.

ABOUT TOBACCO CHEWING.
A Travelling Man Gives Some Surprisir
Statistics.

Travelling Man Gives Some Surprising
Statistics.
It was stated recently in an Eastern
paper that the habit of chewing tobacco
had fallen off fully one-half during the
last decade, said travelling salesman
for one of the large tobacco manufacture
ing houses. Now, l want to show you
that if such is the case, the people in the
70s and early SOS must have gotten
away with tremendous amount of the
weed. Here are some statistics that
have CLEANED from the internal revenue
reports for the past year and some COM
parative figures of my own: During the
year leading factory in st. Louis had
total output of 27,64s,OoO pounds,
which if loaded into cars would take
1882 cars. Figuring these at thirty feet
each in length, the train would be A.
$50 feet, or seven and three-quarters
mil long. If the same amount were
laid out in plugs, end to end, it would
form a line q, 64S, 900 feet long, or 5, 993T
miles, or sufficient to span more than
a quadrant of the globe at the equator.
This represents the output of but one
of the twenty plug tobacco factories in
the United States, but Aou can see from
these figures that if the people chewed
twice as much tobacco in the last decade
as they dc now, their salivary glands
had not much rest.-Sioux City Journal
