= Joke That Failed.

An excellent story is told of the late Pro
fessor Rogers and DR.. r. w. Dale, of Bir-
mingham. These two gentlemen We're Civ
ing a series Of lectures in Lancashire, and
at every town which they visited DR.. Dale
noticed that his colleague, who always
spoke first. made the same speech. In fact,
so often did the professor give that speech
that the worthy doctor knew it off by
heart, and this fact led the latter to think
of a way of taking The wind out of his
friends sails.
On their arrival at a town in South Ian
cashire DR.. Dale asked DR.. Rogers to allow
him to speak first, an arrangement to
which the latter readily agreed, so DIR. Dale
rose and proceeded to deliver the speech of
DR.. Rogers, looking every now and then
with the corner of his eye To see how that
worthy gentleman was taking this practi-
cal joke. DR.. Rogers sat calm and COM
posed, and, when at length his turn came
to speak, he just as calmly rose and deliv-
cred, to DR.. Dale's utter establishment,
quite a new speech.
At the conclusion of the meeting Dr.
Dale said TO his colleague:
Il thought l had taken the wind out O;
your sails tonight"
DR.. Rogers replied, ''Oh, no; l delivered
that speech when l was here a month
ago."-London Tit-Bits.

ST. LOUIS Republic: 1t is now re-
ported that 5000 white intruders upon
the Chickasaw Indian lands are to be
driven away, as other intruders in Okla
homa have been driven away, and as the
woodsmen who tried to intrude upon the
Indian reserve in northerns Wisconsin
have been driven away. There ought To
be better regulations for the guidance OF
the pioneers in these regions than those
that are now enforced and now neglected
The Chickasaw settlers ought to have
been prevented from intruding upon land
that they could not lawfully take, and
that some Of them have held and worked
for years by consent of the Indians. The
pioneers in several parts of the west have
had hard times this year.

The ready and graceful wit of the Able
de Noisenon once enabled him, in a truly
discouraging social difficulty, ito pluck
victory from defeat" His courageous effort
TO escape from an embarrassing situation
certainly deserved success.
The able accepted an invitation of the
Prince de Cont to dinner, but forgot the
date, and at the dinner his chair was va
cant. The next day "A friend said to him:
"Monseigneur was very angry with you
yesterday" The able felt that he had been
remiss and attended the princes next re-
ception to offer an humble apology.
His highness, as soon as he perceived his
discourteous guest, turned his back. But
the undaunted able exclaimed:
"Oh monseigneur, you overwhelm me
with gratitude. / had been told that YOU
never more would have anything to do
with me; but am happy to see that have
been misinformed.n
How" asked the prince.
Your highness has turned your back
lpon me, and l know that that is not your
custom before your enemies. '-Youth's

The car of Russia is the richest sover-
eign in Europe and one of the richest men
in the world. The income of the imperial
family of Russia is derived from the crown
lands, which are regarded as the cars
private estate and treated as such. They
comprise over 1000, 900 square miles, about
one-third of the area of the United States,
and include farms, pasture or grazing land
and forests, while hundreds of villages are
built on them, the inhabitants of which
pay their rent to the car. Many gold,
silver. and other mines are included in the
crown property, and the output of these is
believed TO be very large.
There are no means of ascertaining the
exact income of the car, since the imperial
accounts are not more open to the public
than the books of private individual, but
it is estimated by Russians in official posi-
ton at q, $50, 900 year, about Sc, $50, 600
OF this enormous sum portion is devoted
to the maintenance of hospitals, asylums,
churches and theaters, but the larger part
is swallowed up by the personal and off
cial expenses of the imperial family.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Laredo, Tex, has been on a great
"boom" within year past, but the i'm
provement company of the town has
been put into the hands of a receiver,
and the outlook is described as decided
ly gloomy"
One of the causes for the fattening out
of Laredo's boom is worthy of attention
from those simple minded people who
fancy that tariff does not restrict trade
and interfere with business. A CORE
spondent of The American Wool Re-
porter writes from Laredo as follows:
Zone of the severest blows Laredo has
experienced, and which has added much
to the depression in real estate there, is
the result of the decision of the late Sec
rotary Window, shutting out of this
country Mexican lead ores. At this point
had just been erected the buildings of
the Omaha and Kansas City Ore Samp-
ling works and large concentration for
the reduction of ores by the Yguana
Mining company, of Philadelphia, at
a cost of 100000. These industries
are now closed down, and the machinery
has all been removed to Monterey, Mex
ico."
The Window decision has now given
place to the Mckinley law, and as this
law imposes duty of II cents per pound
ON lead ores, Laredo cannot smelt those
ores with profit, although lying right on
the Mexican border.

Not Helping Wool Growers.

Protection does not always accomplish
the object it has in REV. McKinley
raised the duties on wool last year for
the benefit of the wool growers, but no
benefit has resulted. On the contrary,
Ohio wool Of the best quality is lower
than usual. In Texas, too, where me
dunn and low grade clothing woods are
produced, the outlook is reported to be
discouraging.
A special correspondent of the Boston
Wool Reporter, who has been travelling
in Texas, was told by the sheep growers
there that the wool product this year
will probably be considerably less thar
usual, owing to the discouraging outlook
for good prices. He found, also, that
many sheep are being shipped out of the
state for mutton. On one ranch of 45, 900
to $4,000 sheep a good portion of them
were being fattened for shipment to Chi
cago and Kansas City. While the wool
clip of Texas last year was about IS, 000,-
900 pounds, this correspondent estimates
that it will not be more than about
100000 this year, and he does not be
lieve that 5000 900 sheep will be shorn
this year, while about 3,650,0 Were
shorn last year.
The wool market reports have recent
ly made mention of the fact that Texas
and territory woods are in good demand,
and the stock Of them nearly exhausted,
owing to the fact that Australian woods
have been more largely imported this
year than ever, and the woods from the
southwest are needed to mix with them
in manufacturing If the wool duties
were removed, would not our native
wool be demanded in greater quantities
than ever, more looms be employed and
more people better clothed than ever?
