Tables CIeyerIy Turned Upon Some
Practical JOKeTs.

p. Jacob Gauff when 10 Germany re
Gently played possum very successfully
and amusingly. His old schoolmates
there were Just becoming comfortably ao-
quainted with the uses Of the bicycle.
They had been generally introduced but
a short time, and the young Germans
were carried away with the pleasures of
cycling. OF curse it never occurred to
them that bicycles were in common use in
America and that Gauff might possibly
know something about them himself.
TIE willy Jacob never intimsted anything
to the contrary. His friends got him on
the outskirts OF 1.-the town one day. There
was quite a squad of them with a bicycle
and an extra one for Jacob. Alter a lot
of preliminary lourishes the German
youths got upon their bicycles
and began to circle about, inviting
the visiting German American to follow
them. 10 the meantime Jacob was tx
aiming the machine with unintelligent
curiosity. Finally the other young fellows
started off with a whoop intending to
leave Jacob in the lurch by taking a run
to a neighborinR town without him. They
had got pretty well started and most of
them had their heads turned in eager
curiosity to see how Jacob was taking the
joke, when to their great surprise he
sprang to the saddle without touching the
machine, and in a few minutes was up with
them and taking a squirt he was soon far
ahead. going like the wind, with both
hands in the air, wildly waving to his
friends to follow.
1t is needless to say that after this ex-
perience the German youths were natur-
ally suspicious of any expression of igno-
rance on the part of Jacob and never
attempted to play any more jokes of this
nature upon him.

CHEYENNE Nj the OnIy Sufferer From
Advances IN Meat Prices.

BIGGEST RISE IN NINE IIARN.
Advances IN Meat Prices.
Bee!steak costs considerably more in
Omaha and other retail markets than it
did a week ago. The reason given for
the sudden advance Is the unprecedented
demand both at home and abroad for
dressed beef and pork, and the compare
tive scarcity and high price Of good corn.
In the last week the packing houses have
put up the price on dressed beef three
fOurths of a cent a pound and on dressed
pork one-half cent per pound. In the
retail markets beet has been advanced
about three cents per pound. Porter
honse that a week ago sold at fifteen
cents a pound now sells for eighteen
cents, sirlO,n has been advanced from
twelve to fifteen cents, and a correspond
ing increase has been made on all grades
of beef.
Retail prices on pork have not yet been
advanced, though it is very likely that
they Will be soon. Though the change is
untavorable to consumer it is hailed with
delight by commission men and people
who have cattle to sell. There has not
been such a sudden advance for uIue
years. and the outlook has not IN a long
time been so favorable for a still further
Increace and for a long continued mainte.
nance of it. One Of the curious things
about the advance is that it was unfore-
seen. \ month ago ii was not expected,
but the heavy shipments Of cattle from
the west last fall on account ofthe scarcity
of feed. and the scarcity of feed prevailing
at present, are 10Y beginning to tell. IL
is a fine thing for farmers and stockmen
who are fortunate enough to have mar
ketable stock on hand. and If they had
more this would be their opportunity to
retrieve a part of the losses sustained
during the last seven or eight years.
