HE FOOLED THEM.
Moguls are Neatly Outwitted by a Candi-
date for Initiation.

date for Initiation.
Welcome Conclave No. ca, Ancient
Order of Adhesive Mogulians, has
adopted rule compelling candidates
for admission to the order TO be In good
health when they are initiated. This
order was sent forth, not because OF
solicitude for the health Of victims, but
to avoid impositions. The reason there
for is because the Moguls were neatly
outwtted at their last seance. A we'll
known drummer, who is known 10 be
fond of practical jokes. was to be initi-
ated into the mysteries OF the order last
week.
The aforementioned drummer IS a
perfect Adonis, and the word was quiet
ly passed around that he would make
good subject. The horns Of the goat
were neatly polished, the Moguls all
wore their working shoes, and for
week before the eventful night, all laid
in supply of instruments OF torture
and noise-producing devices. That all
might partake of the fun, an adver-
tisement was inserted in the papers.
The drummer witnessed these ominous
preparations with fear and trembling.
But he hit upon happy plan to insure
his safe passage through the initiatory
ceremonies.
He took the precaution, however, to
have his life insured. and when the
eventfnl night came he hobbed into the
hall with heavy cane, and an express
sion on his face which told Of excruciat-
ing pain every time he took step. His
story that he sprained his ankle in
alighting from car was generally dis
credited, and the Chief Mogul appointed
committee TO investigate. He was
placed upon chair, and the investigat-
ing committee pulled up his trousers
leg. As soon as this was done they
discovered heavy bandages about
the ankle, and an odor of liniment was
sent out, loud enough TO be heard all
over the room. The committee was
convinced. and the drummer escaped
most Of the torture. When the whole
thing was over, he mounted the ros-
trum, removed the bandage, and pro-
ceeded to dance an Irish jig, with an
ease and grace that that would have
done credit to the most expert son OF
the could Sod"
1t is needless to add that the resolu-
tion mentioned above passed without a
dissenting voice.

1t Isn't Free Trade.

Tariff Reform does not necessarily
mean free trade. 1t means an improve
ment Of the weak points Of the present
system. That's something that ought
TO be popular with everybody. The new
Tariff Reform" cakes baked by the
Wheeling Bakery are popular with ev-
erybody already. One reason is they are
simply delightful cakes. Another is
they represent a popular sentiment;
popular with both Republicans and
Democrats. You can get Tariff Re-

We have for sale a tract of
about Is acres of land midway
between st. Paul and Mime

best site for factories in either

ming through it, connecting it
with all the railroads running
into either city, except one,
and also with the Mime
sofa Transfer. 1t is one of the
few tracts left in the Midway Dis
trict, accessible to good railroad
trackage, large enough to accom-
modate a large manufacturing con-
Germ, and is therefore very valua-
BILE. The Midway District. trav-
ersed in every direction by railroads
and electric lines, and drawing
population and business from both
cities, is rapidly filling up, and a
few years will see property there
Quadrupled in value. 1t is bound
in the near future to become the
great center OF population of our
dual city, and the owners of land
there will be wealthy. We can sell
this fine property very cheap.

over to the bank again with $4,000 of
foreign checks, receiving in exchange
clearing house due bill for $4,000 thus
paying the bank with its own funds.
The due bill IN question was shown to
have been turned over to the Spring

Yard was president. and used to meetits
obligations. The certificates were issued
directly to Yard, except in one or two
instances, when the name of W. S. Jack

bank for 1888 and 1889 were produced,
and leaves found to be torn out where
Yards individual account would have

A Son Becomes "a Patricide in De-
Tending His Mother.
SAVANNAH. Ga, Feb. 2.-David Por-
ter, deputy collector of customs at Sa-
vannah, was shot and killed by his six
teen-year-Old son at o'clock this morn
ing at his residence. Porter went home
under the influence of liquor and, being
chided by his wife, struck her. His
daughter interfered, and then young
Porter ran to bureau and, taking out
a revolver. fired at his father. The
father turned on the son, and both fell
on the floor together. In the struggle
for the pistol Young Porter shot twice
again, the last shot penetrating his
fathers breast near the heart. He stag
gered to his feet and into the next room,
fell into rocking chair and died.
The boy ran into the street and called
to Ieighber that he had shot his
father. He then summoned the family
physician and afterward walked to pO-
lice headquarters and surrendered. He
did not know for some time that he had
killed his father, as he left home as
soon as he fired the shots. In talking
of the affair, he said: eff have killed
my father, that is, if he dies from his
wounds. l have it to say from his own
lips that | did right. A few years ago,
speaking in my presence about young
man killing his father in this city for
beating his mother, my father, i'll reply
to remark that the young man must
regret his crime continually, said:
Never: he may regret the necessity,
but never the act'" The patricide
was cool and collected in all he said.

the early morning of the 22d of
November, 1878. 4 British division under
Gen. Sir Samuel Browne occupied the
Afghan fortress Of Ali Musid, up in the
Khyber Pass. Mr.. Forbes rode back ten

of time, however, did not end here.
Owing to the five hours difference be-
tween the clocks of London and New
York. the message was in time for the
regular editions of the New York papers
that same morning. 1t was thence i'm
Emediately wired across the American
continent, and, owing again to the
difference in time between the
Atlantic coast and the Pacific slope, the
early rising citizen of San Francisco,
purchasing his morning paper at a.

OF an event which actually occurred
over two hours later in apparent time

THE DELAYED CAR.
A Fairy Story About One of Them
That Was ONLY a Little LATE

That Was Only Little Late.
Five or six men and three or four
women stood on a corner waiting for
horse car, says Smith, Gray d Co.'s
Weekly. One of the women was the
last to arrive, and she rushed up breath
lessly. saying to one of the other
women, whom she CHANGED to know:
'Mvl l was so afraid I'd miss the
next car. Pve been fairly racing for
six blocks"
Its about time that car was here"
said one Of the men testify.
''When'S it supposed TO get along
here?" said another man.
Its due at ten minutes after, but no
one ever expects it to get here on time.n
"Well. think it's high time it was
here now"
ION, do hope it won't be late, for
have an engagement at half-past," said
woman, nervOuSIy.
"Well. it's high time it was here"
said one of the men.
Its past time" said another, closing
his watch with snap.
''It won't be here for good half hour
yet, you may be sure of that" said a
pOrtly old man, stepping brlskly around,
humping the sidewalk with his cane.

"Not bit. We've the poorest service

''That's what it isn't. We've stood it

"Ahj there comes the carl" shrieked
cdr woman, rushing madly out into
