The Man proppad.

The Man Dropped.
He was about to make his way
around to the side.gate of a house on
Hontcalm street when woman open.
Cd the front door and called:
"This way, please, come right in the
front door,"
He came back, looked at her and
cautiously began ascending the steps
O. he said:
"Madam, it is through no fault of
mine that I have been brought to
this"
"Oh, certainly not-walk right in!"
she interrupted, "you wish to see the
lady of the house?"
."Yes'm."
"Well, I am the person. Hang
your hat on the hall-tree, please"
MADAM" he said as he
hung his old cap on a peg,
81 was going to call at the
back door to see if you"
III see. Walk into the parlor and
sit down a moment. You are in
search of work-wood to saw, coal to
bring in, etc.,"
"Yes'm."
"Poor man! How hard it must be
to go about looking for work! You
haven't eaten anything today?"
"No'm, 1 got up at daylight this
morning and began"
IL see. Sit over there by the win
dow where you can look at the family
album while I get you a dinner. How
do YOU like your chicken-stewed' or
fried?"
"F-f.fried!" stammered the aston
ished tramp.
"Certainly won't take me ove half
an hour. Do you like your mince pie
hot or cold, and do you prefer strong
coffee"
He sat rubbing one old shoe over
the other, too astonished to reply,
and she continued:
81 am so glad you happened to call
here. If you don't object to dark
clothes I can fit you out with a suit
almost new. Can you eat bread with
your dinner or shall I make some hot
biscuit?"
His feet we're now too paralyzed to
rub, and he sat with his mouth open.
GLOW dreadful you must feel-wife
and children dead-no home-in poor
health and out ofsteady employment
While you are eating I'll telephone
my husband to get you q place in
the bank. You want something that's
easy and pays we'll, of coursef
I'm sorry Pm out ofcurrant jelly, but
perhaps strawberry jam would do
your"
d." he began.
."I understand. It's not your fault
that you are in this position-of
course not. It's liable to happen to
any one. Poor man! How the care
lines have appeared on your brow,
and how thin and starved you look!
Perhaps you will amuse yourself with
the plano while | prepare dinner?"
He got up, sulked into the hall side
ways, as if afraid of being hit, reached
for his cap and backed out doors.
"Why, what's the matter!" asked
the woman as he backed down the
steps.
"Nuthin' much!" he muttered.
"But there must be-! Have l in any
manner wounded your sensitive feel
ings? Have I carelessly uttered words
which brought up bitter recollections
and caused you sorrow?"
"Noap," he replied as he backed out
of the gate.
"But what is it?" she persisted.
= 4"It's just this" he said as he felt
himself safe on the outside, s'you was
gettin' ready to let about three men
and half a dozen bulldogs loose on
me to play circus, but I dropped to
your game and bilked che performance:
You are fly, old gal, but I'm flyer!

upon going back he discovered the

dessert. Approaching him he tapped
him lightly on the shoulder and re.

entire roomful to hear:
''Sir, allow me to draw nigh (Nye) to

Nye never smiled, but, dropping his
knife and fork, arose, and, facing the
bright young man, said in that inimit-
able way of his:
"Young man, you should not waste
your wit upon the dessert air. You
should keep it close and then syndi.

The young man retreated amid the
ieers of the diners, while Nye resumed
his seat and continued his repast.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Chicago
board Of trade had hearing before the
house committee on agriculture today on
the anti option bill, and through it's pres
ident, Chas. X. Hamill, opposed the
passage of the bill on the ground that
it prohibited dealing in futures" "rhe
system Of future deliveries" Hamill
said, grew up in response to demand
from the agriculturalists for continuous
open market, which was impossible,
without future buying and selling" He
believed the sale Of futures VAS in the
interest of producers. Speculation. in
his opinion, had q tendency to sustain
values. If q man was prohibited from
buying for future delivery. great sim
u'us to buying was taken away. In
answer to query, Hami)l admitted that
sometimes speculation forced prices
down, but he believed this was generally
temporary, and that in the aggregate it
sustained prices. Puts or calls were not
tolerated by the board OF trade; it was
purely. gambling transaction, and the
board would welcome anything which
prohibited it.
