A MICHIGAN man who divides his
time between editing a Republican
newspaper and operating farm with
flock of sheep on it bewails the
fact that wool has fallen of in price
since the passage of the Mckinley
bill. He discusses the market quo
tations sadly aud drops the subject
promising to resume 1t next week,
whereat the Philadelphia Record re-
marks: HE probably feels like
Mark Twain did last week, when,
during an emulous bicycle race with
his pastor, Rev. Joseph Twitchell,
be was unfortunate enough to take
a header. Picking himself up as
well as he could, in reply to the con
dolence offered by the reverend
gentleman. Mr.. Twain said: "You
go on, Joe, 1 will stop here awhile
and swear" There are probably
thousands of shepherds in this
country who, noting the effect of the
MiKinley tariff on prlces-cloths up,
wool down-would like to stop
awhile in some secluded place, and
let themselves out, so to speak. "

One of the slickest games ever
worked by confidence men is that Of
buying a farm. One of the pair
looks over the country until he finds
the man he is after, and the he buys
the farm at the farmers own price,
paying from $50 to 5000 down to
bind the bargain. Before the papers
can be made out confederate comes
along, falls in love with the same
farm, and offers the same farmer
81, 900 more than the other did.
The agriculturlst sees speculation,
and buys the first purchaser off with
big bonus. Then both men drop
out of sight, and the farmer learns
something new.
