the other men do not Intend TO present
their petition TO the rules committee ask
ing for special order for the silver bin

will ultimately get a special rule from the
committee. Personally | think it would
be much better to take up the silver ques-

ing the decks for the tariff"
"But | shall not antagonize the other
Democrats II they want TO take up the
tariff first"
"On the question OF which subject, tariff
or silver--shall be first taken up. il Is evil

A Man Who Won Bet Because He Had
Put a Bullet There.
A waggish broker who is widely and
popularity known in Wall street is So
journing at Lakewood this spring, and he
made considerable fun for himself and
his associates last week. He is by no
means noted as a marksman, and when
he took half dozen of his New York
associates back of the hotel one morn
ing and showed them bullet imbedded
in the bulls eye of target neatly
painted on barn door, the natural in
quiry was ''Who fired the shot?"
Il fired the shot at a distance of two
hundred yards" said the waggish
broker, earnestly.
''Oh, pshawr' NONSENSE pooh
pooh!' lyon couldn't hit the barn at
that distance" were the comments of
his friends. But the waggish broker
was persistent, and he suggested that
perhaps some of his associates would
like to bet. Yes, two or three of them
were willing to wager anything from a
dinner to 81 600 that the young broker
did not fire that shot. He took two
bets-one of dinner for ten men and
another for a case of champagne.
Then he brought out two witnesses,
two distinguished guest at the hotel,
who very soberly declared that they
had seen him with a rifle, standing off
at distance of two hundred yards, put
the bullet where it was. The CREDIBLE
itv of the witness was above suspicion,
and the bets We're paid by the losers.
During the merry-making that followed
the waggish broker confessed that he
had painted the target on the barn door
after he fired the shot.-N. Y. Times.

bamboo cabin matched with palm leafs

behind his clump of bananas and raise
a crop of mandioca or manioc which
will keep his family alive This is a
crop which can be produced abundant

the natives. Three acres viii produce

Half an acre. with the most indiffer-
ent cultivation, viii feed the
largest family. If few ba-
mana trees and a mango are
back of the cabin and a
corner is reserved for pineapples and
another for black beans, even a quarter
acre will suffice for feeding the family,
with frequent renewals of the mandiOca
crop. Then the negro can have small
herd of goats grazing on the roadside
at all hours. and their skins, when
shipped to foreign market, will yield
him store of spending money for eli
