JERRY SIMPSONS MULE.
The Latest Campaign Story Of the Kan.
sas Statesman.

One of the best stories of the year
is told by Jerry Simpson, popularity
known as the "Sockless Socrates of
Medicine Lodge" He had been talk
ing about the attempt of the old par
ties to capture the Alliance vote,
when he compared the astute politi-
clan to the Kansas mule, says the
Atlanta Constitution.
''Out in Kansas" said he, there
is boy who had taught his mule to
squat when be touched him on the
flank with his heels, and one day when
be was riding beside an Englishinan
the mule suddenly sat down on his
launches. What's the matter with
your mule?' said the Englishman.
why said the boy, he's setter;
don't you see that rabbit out there?'
The Englishman was much astonish
ed. They rode on while and the
mule squattcd again. What's he
doing now? said the Englishman.
He's settin' again. said the boy.
Don't you see that flock of quail?'
BY this time the Englishman was
dying to own the mule. An animal
he could ride that was also setter
would be priceless to such Nimrod
as he. He offered to buy the mule,
but the boy didn't want to sell him.
Finally he consented to swap the
mule for the Englishman's fine bay
horse and 500 to boot. The Eng
lishman mounted the mule, the boy
mounted the horse and they rode on
together. After awhile they came tc
a creek, and the Englishman drew
up his feet to keep them from getting
wet. About half way through the
water got so deep that he had to draw
his feet up to the mules flank. A.
soon as the boot heels touched the
mules flank he squatted right in the
middle of the creek. What's the
matter with your blarsted mule now2
said the English man. Il told you h'
was setter, and he's just as goot
for suckers as for anything else. /"

There is quite a sermon in this
one, told me by an Old Scotchman
who happened to be seated in the
same carriage with me. A Dundee
navy, on awakening one morning,
told his wife of curious dream that
he had during the night. He dream
ed that he saw big fat rat coming
toward him followed by two lean
ones, and in the rear one blind one.
He was greatly worried over it, and
swore that some great evil was about
to fall upon him. He had heard
that to dream of rats foreboded some
dire calamity. In vain did he appeal
to his wife, but she could not relieve
him. His son, who, by the way, was
a bright lad, hearing the dream told,
volunteered to interpret it, and he
did it with all the wisdom of a 10
seph. Said he: THE fat rat is the
mon who keeps the public house
where We gang to sac aften, and the
twa lean ones are me and me mither,
and the blind one is yersel, father

THE JOHN ROBINSON SHOW
New Factor i'm Tented
Amusements.

Solomon, the sagest and grandest
of the Hebrew patriarchs, when he
uttered that phrase, since become an
axiom, that there is nothing new
under the SUM-" could he revisit the
glimpses of the moon," would find.
that while his axiom still finds veri-
fication, yet that old things have be-
come in the reproduction and re-
Mobilization of the scenes, episodes
and incidents characterizing his long
and memorable reign. In placing
before the people, by the John Rob-
inson show, the grand biblical spec
tacle of Solomon, his Temple, and
the Queen of Sheba," realistic, liv-
ing illustration of most impressive
scenes and events of biblical history
is presented in vivid and enhancing
form, and offers the most enjoyable
and mindnourishing afternoon and
evenings entertainment ever project
ed or conceived. The glories, the
grandeur and the greatness ofIsraels
wisest king are lavishly portrayed,
and the most salient features and in
cidents of his noted regal admins
tration find apt and accurate illus
tration. This gorgeous and resplend-
ent spectacle is from the master
mind of Mr.. John Rettig, whose
former biblical spectacular produc-
tions have made him famous. and
who prides himself on this, the
CHEF D'GUvRE of his art. 1t certain
ly is q master piece of policy in the
management of the John Robinson
show to thus so materially and ac-
ceptably augment their already stu
pendous exhibitional enterprise,
which, as almost every body is
aware, is characterized as exhibiting
the biggest and best circus, the most
interesting menagerie and the larg-
est hippodrome on the continent
The combined exhibitions, of which
it may be said that they are given
without additional entrance fee, are
to display here Sept. "a.

A Long Sentence.


The trial Of Washington Williams
for attempting to poison his wife a
few months AGO, and which consum-
ed Friday and Saturday, terminated
Saturday evening by tue jury return
ing verdict of guilty. 1t only took
ten minutes for them to agree on
the result, and when it wa, an
nounced to the court sad ex-
preston Of disappointment over
spread the ceuntenance of the pris

liams to stand up and after reading
the circumstances surrounding the
case sentenced him to the pcniten-
tiary for ten years. and the old dar-
key was removed to jail. Williams
is getting along in years now. He
is said to be in pretty fair circum

SHE RUNS AN ENGINE.
Miss Ida Hewitt Holds the Throttle like
n Man.

CLARKsBuRG, Sept. 10.-The Cairo
& Kanawha Valley railroad, a mar
row guage line connecting with the
b. Il o. at Cairo, in this county,
claims the distinction of employing
the only female engineer in the Uni,
ted States.
Her name is Miss Ida Hewitt, and
she is the daughter Of Col. Hewitt,
one of the principal stockholders of
the road. Miss Ida, who is comely
and accomplished young woman, I'M
der 20 years of age, has always had
a peculiar fascination for machinery,
and has spent large portion of her
time in the shops of the company.
She finally became a machinist of
no mean ability, when she undertook
the task of running an engine on the
road, and her success was SO great
that she is now regularly employed
in that capacity, and makes her daily
run with as much regularity, as the
most veteran engineer.

About 80 per cent. of the cabin
passengers are Americans returning
from foreign travels; the other 10
per cent Europeans who are coming
here to see the country. Nearly 95
per cent. of the Storage passengers
are Europeans who are coming to the
new world TO find home. But it is
the pleasure seekers in the cabin
whom we wish to consider for mo-
ment. 1t will be interesting to make
an approximate estimate of the sum
of money, rapidly increasing annu-
ally, which the growing popularity
of the European outing costs Amer
leans.
The army of pleasure seekers pay
at the average rate of passage tick
cts-which differ much more than
railroad fares-S13, 100000 to the
companies. The average vacation
tour abroad is about fifty days. 1t
would probably be reasonable esti
mate of the average expenses of
American tourists during fifty days
travel and sight seeing abroad to al
low 81 day for each person. That
sum is hardly sufficient for the ma
jority of travellers. The aggregate
of this summers travelling expenses
of Americans abroad would then be
$3S, 100000.
Most travellers buy presents while
abroad to bring to home friends, and
an overwhelming majority, we regret
to say, buy clothes, too. Many
thousands more are naturally spent
on photographs and other souvenirs.
Estimating all these items, presents,
finery, pictures and other souvenirs,
at 800 spent by each traveller, we
have $l1 100000 more, 1t will be
seen that the total expenditure by
Americans in Europe must be APP

How Much 10000 Americans Spend.

Every incoming European steam
er is crowded with American tourists
and sightseers returning from their
holiday abroad. Great as the tide
of foreign immigration now is it is
the first cabins, not the Storage, of
the great steamships which are
crowded at this season. So great
was the demand for passage to New
York that 5000 was bid for a state
room for one person in London last
Saturday and refused. Last year
the number of American tourists was
$4,000. This year it is expected to
exceed 10000. The following table
showing the number of arrivals of
European travellers at this port for
ten years past is full of interest:

A Farmer Talks Business.

Under the above head the King.
wood Journal gives some ideas adj
vanced by couple of well known
farmers of Preston county that are
excellent and might be adopted
with profit by some of our Monon-
gala citizens. Here is what it says
"A pleasant chat with Mr.. G. r.
Finn, an intelligent and practical far
mer of Valley district, reveals fac is
that should be known to Preston
county farmers generally-the prof
its of diversified farming. He has
been trying, and with success, the
growing of lambs for the meat mar
kets of the East. This season he
raised so lambs from AZ ewes, and at
about four months old they averaged
a fraction over &C pounds IN weight,
and brought him at home about
1922 cents head in cash. The
lambs were dropped in April, and
sold in August, the Landing season
occurring when less labor and ex-
pense in stabling and stall feeding
the eews are required than when they
are grown for the earlier market
when "spring lamb and peas" are
upon the bill Of fare at the first class
hotels in the city. John w. Guse.
men and others, especially in Valley
district. have found this very prof
liable and pleasant business in CON
nection with general farming. 1t
should be borne in mind that the
clip Of wool from the ewes nearly
paid the whole expense connected
with the growing of the lambs, so
the money received for the lambs was
nearly net profit. Mr. linn very
aptly says that in order to reach the
measure of prosperity that Preston
county is entitled to by virtue of her
natural resources aud the reputation
of her citizens for thrift and enter
prize, there should be grown on her
farms every bushel of grain consum-
Ell within her borders. Here marked
thar the money sent for young cat
tie returns with the added profits of

thinks we ought to raise more of our

paid out for western grain never
comes back-it is total loss-or
rather that the growing of it at home
would save that amount, and that
amount is very large, aggregating
