The "Arkansaw Traveller" who has
been having fun with numerous people

about him in bewildered sort of way

hayseed off the train, but when he went
forward again he found him still on, aud
after putting him off again and again
and finding him on the train he collared
the stranger in coach and received his
fire along with horse laugh in high
from the passengers, who had been put
on in the meantime by the rest of the
company.
When the joke became known there
was none who enjoyed it more than
the jolly conductor himself. This
afternoon the same individual was stroll

A Letter That Was Not Wholly weIcom,

A man who was slightly bald stood bare
headed in Broadway the other day, nerv-
ously rubbing the bald spot with one hand
and holding an open letter at arms length
with the other hand. His eyes bulged from
their sockets; his teeth were hard set, and
his brow was wrinkled in mighty frown.
An acquaintance stopped in passing TO ask:
What is the matter, old man? Any bad
news?"
My wife has gone into the country
Just look at what she has written
The sympathizing friend looked and read
the following extract: II forgot the key of
the trunk. The bunch of keys is in the
pocket of that striped Bingham dress of
mine, hanging on the inside of the hall
closet door up stairs. Please send both fiat
keys, as l don't know which TO use. With
the keys you can send Katie's bracelet,
which she says she left in the right hand
corner of the lower drawer of her bureau.
There also is an old lace pin, not the
one with the pin broken, which she
would like to have. 1t is in the top
drawer. II the keys are not in the
gingham dress they may be in the top
drawer of the bureau in the front room.
Don't forget to send back to Mrs Jones
that pattern for Brides frock that didn't
have time to send. think it is in the sewing
machine drawer or on the mantel in the
dining room. 1t was cold here last night
and / may need my neuralgia medicine
Better send il with the other things. II Is
on a shelf in the dining room closet. Be
sure and send the right bottle Katie says
her lace pin may be on that dotted Swiss
dress which she wore at the Browns party.
1t hangs in the wardrobe in her room.
The key TO the wardrobe must be in the
bunch with the others Do take good care
of yourself and
'Ahem! said the sympathzing &C
quaiDtance.
'Whatin blazes would you do?" inquired
the baldheaded man, putting on his hat.
Telegraph that you are sick, and let her
find The things when she comes back"
The baldheaded man shook his head
sadly, put the letter in his pocket and
walked away with the air OF a martyr

The owners of the steamboat wharf here
are to make extensive repairs to enable the
new steamer Frank Jones to make her land
ings. A new set of pillng will be driven
across the front extending out some ten feet
and raising the wharf some three feet higher.
This is a necessary move as this is the poor
est wharf on the routes of any of the boats.
We hope to see for the benefit of passengers a
snug little waiting room with chance to
set up stove, as there has not been a
suitable waiting place for passengers nearer
than a hotel in cold weather.
The fishermen are now getting thawed

we're blow would be dealt to our national
prosperity. The belief that such meas
ure would be defeated in the Senate, or
that if passed by that body it would be
vetoed by Republican President, has
sufficed to maintain financial stability and
have also shown that outside of party
questions, where the national honor is
concerned, there can be complete unison
in the co coordinate departments of the gov
eminent. This was illustrated in the Chill
ian controversy, when the leading Demo-
Gratis of the House We'd with the Republi-

thus far in the negotiations with Lord
Salisbury concerning the Behring Sea;

ternal questions, no matter how sharply
defined may be the party dissensions re-
garding home affairs.

Halliburton: "'For the Constitution of

miration. Nothing he said, in his Rule

pie. It has conferred happiness and safety

The existence of names for wheat III
the most ancient languages confirms the
evidence Of its great antiquity and OF ITS
cultivation in the more temperate parts
of Europe, Asia and Africa. From the
evidence adduced by botanists OF high
standing, it seems highly improbable
that wheat has never been found grow
ing persistently in a wild state, although
it has often been asserted by poets, tray
clers and historians.
In the Odyssey, for example, we are
told that wheat formerly grew III Sicily
without the aid of man. Diodorus re-
heats the tradition that Osiris found
wheat and barley growing promlscu
ously in Palestine, but neither this MOI
other reputed discoveries of wheat
growing wild seem at all credible, see
ing that it does not appear to be endow
ed with the power Of persistency, ex
cept under continued culture.-St. Loul

Egypt, says Herodotus, is gift of the

was never spoken. OF course it Is just
equally true, in a way, that Bengal Is a
gift of the Ganges, and that Louisiana
and Arkansas are a gift of the Missis-
sippi, but with this difference, that in
the case of the Nile the dependence Is
far more obvious, far freer from disturb
ing or distracting details. For that rea-
son, and also because the Nile is so much
more familiar to most English speaking
folk than the American rivers, l choose
Egypt as my type of regular midland

HuiIding superstltions.

I'm remote times a sacrifice OF some
kind was always offered at the compile
ton of a building, either public or
private. Sacrifices were not only offered
at the completion of structures OF all
kinds-the foundations themselves were
usually laid in blood, whether the
structure was a castle, bridge, cottage or
church. Originally-tracing the sub
iect back to heathenish times-the
sacrifice was offered to the god under
whose protection the building was
placed; in Christian times the bloody
rite was retained, but was given another
Specification. In those days it was gen
orally believed that no edifice would
stand unless the corner stone was laid IL
mortar mixed with blood. Usually the
blood was obtained by sacrificing a dog
a pig, a wolf, black cock or goat
and not unfrequently some malefactor'
blood was poured out to make the cere
mony more impressive Louis Re
