RislrIng His Life to Bury the Corpse Of
an Enemy.
After the repulse of one Of the furious
assaults at Acre, says a writer in Good
Words, the dead body of French Of
hcer was left lying in a prominent posi-
ton between the walls and the be-
siegers' trenches. The body lay there
for day or two and attracted much at
tention. It was spoken about on board
the T1gre, which lay of Acre, and the
matter made an impression difficult to
account for on the simple superstitious
mind OF Kelly. Only the very smartest
men had been sent ashore to assist in
the defense, and Kelly was not among
these. But one day he begged for and
obtained leave to go on shore. AS soon
as he entered the town he procured a
shovel, pickax. and coil of rope,
walked straight to the ramparts, and,
declining all offers of assistance, low
cred himself from an embrasure. As
Kelly set foot upon the ground, and,
shouldering his tools, walked deliber-
ately toward the dead body a dozen
French muskets were pointed at him.
One OF the enemy's commanders, how
ever, divining the sailors inten-
lions, ordered his men to shoulder
arms. In an instant both sides, as If by
some common impulse, ceased firing,
and Kelly, the object of breathless at
tention from friend and foe, stopped be-
side the Frenchman's corpse. He then
coolly and calmly dug grave, put the
officer into it, covered him up, and tax
ing from his pocket a small piece of
board and bit of chalk wrote on the
board: "Here you lie, old Crop" and
put at the head of the grave this rough
and ready memorial. 'Old Crop was
no doubt honest Kelly's rendering of
"Crapaud," the French for a frog, and
a nickname with the sailors for all
''mounseers." This pious duty done,
he shouldered his implements again,
walked back as deliberately as he had
come, and disappeared within the en-
brasure. The firing recommended and
men thirsted once more for another's
blood. Sir Sidney Smith, the very man
to delight in such an adventure, sent
for Kelly and questioned him about it.
The supplemented tar could only won
der that others could find anything to
wonder at in his exploit. "You were
alone, were you not?" said Sir Sidney.

TOO MUCH RED TAPE.
Why Mon Dislike to Purchase Goods q

Why Mon Dislike to Purchase Goods ~
Big Dry-GOods Stores.
If ever a man so far forgets himself
as to make purchase In a great dry
goods store he makes a resolution on
the spot which ever leads him to pat
ronize little stores where he pays twice
as much for an article but has it handed
to him straight over the counter when
he has bought it and is able to go di-
rectly out with it.
Here Is little sample experience
In big dry-goods store, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Yesterday a man,
having lost a button Off his coat, went
into store which lay on his way to buy
another button to replace it. A sylph-
like young lady of seventeen summers
waited on him, somewhat absent-mind-
edly, but produced presently the right
button The price Of it was Ave cents.
The man took a nickel from his pocket
and handed it to the young lady.
Think you that the transaction hav-
ing thus been completed, the man could
take the button which he had paid for,
slip 1t into his waistcoat pocket and 90
his way? Certainly not The young
lady must first make duplicate record
Of the transaction upon certain COM
plicated blanks. One Of these records,
together with the button, goes to
another young lady not far away, who
does them up in little parcel; but the
other record, with the nickel, must
make a long journey through pneu-
matic tube or a leash railway to a
distant cashiers desk, and the parcel
maker may not on peril of her life de-
liver the button to the purchaser until
the cashier has duly inspected the nickel
and sent back through the same inter
minable pneumatic tube a stamped
record showing that the nickel has been
received.
Now yesterday, in the case under
consideration, this interesting hum-a-
diddle occupied exactly ten minutes by
the watch, during all of which time the
man, who had paid exactly the right
change for his button, writhed vainly
on his stool. All this, of course, was
for the supposed benefit of the house,
and wholly at the loss of the customer,
not less than twenty cents worth of
whose time was sacrificed to this beau
tiful system.

There are two girls in New York city
who are well provided against emer-
Eencies. They have duplicate eyes
safely packed away in their jewel boxes
against possible accident When they
were in Vienna last year they visited
the Salviati glass factory, where the
finest artificial eyes In the world are
made. During their visit they were
surprised at the very steadfast gaze OF
one of the workmen, but of course took
no notice Of the seeming impertinence.
A few days later each received little
box which, being opened, was found to
contain most accurate copies in glass of
their lovely eyes and little note re-
questing their acceptance. and saying
that they might at some future time be
found great convenience.

OVER $50 PER CAPITA IN CIRCULATION
IN KANSAS.

It is but fair to Mr.. Mulvane to say
that he is not responsible for these
headlines. He has too much sense
to claim that his figures, even if cor
rect, have anything to do with cirCu-
lation. It required the genius and
ssgacity of a republican editor to con-
ceive that brilliant idea. Before pro-
Ceeding to consider the figures
presented by this distinguished Kan
sss financier, we desire to remark in
general that those who are treating
the present industrial revolution as a
temporary movement that has re-
suited from crop failure have abso-
lutely no conception of it; and any
argument based upon such an idiotic
hypothesis, besides having no bearing
upon the real situation, only exhibits
the utter lack OF comprehension of its
author. Such a man is to be pitied
for his ignorance, and his argument,
based upon erroneous premises, is en-
tirely inspplicable and utterly devoid
Of force.
Mr.. Mulvsne's figures, however,
intended as they are to show q condi-
tion of things that has no reality in
fact, should not pass unnotlced. AS
the author is one of the sblest as well
as one Of thu fairest minded men re-
naming in the republican party, these
figures may be accepted as the fairest
that can be expected in this line, and
in order that we may in no way mis-
represent him, we reproduce them in
full. We also reproduce the prelude
to these figures as it appeared in the
State Journal of this clty in order
that it may be seen how they are
being used by the republican party.
It is as follows:

gross value Of all the products Of the
state as 80 much clear profit, and re-
publican newspaper men proceed to
base their estimate of the prosperity
of the people upon this result. Does
Mr.. Mulvsne figure in this way when
estimating the profits Of the Topeka
bank? Do the officers of this institu-
ton declare their dividend before de-
Quoting the expense accounts
Let us apply the same rules to
farming that Mr.. Mulvane applies to
the banking business, or that any bus
mess man applies to any business
whatever, and see then how the ac-
count will stand. He says there are
75OO00OO bushels of wheat, which he
estimates at so cents per bushel, max
ing gross value of 37,5OOOOO. But
Mr.. Mohler, our good republican Sec
retary of agriculture, has found by a
careful investigation that the average
cost of raising bushel of wheat for
the entire state is 49 cents. This
would leave the munifcent profit Of
/ cent per bushel for the farmer.
Mr.. Mulvsne figures the corn crop
at 140OOO,OOO of bushels, which he
places at 35 cents per bushel. AL
though this is more than the farmer
will receive for it we will accept it as
correct. Mr.. Mohler finds the cost of
raising corn to be 21 cents per bushel.
The secretary has not made an inves-
tigation of the cost of raising other
cereals, but it may be readily COM
puted by taking the cost per acre of
raising wheat and simply dividing by
the average number of bushels Of the
others to the acre, There is no prac-
tical difference in the cost per acre of
wheat, oats, barley or rye. Figuring
upon this basis, and using Secretary
Mohlers statistics, we find the cost as
follows:
The advocate and Topeka tribune., 1892-10-19

The above will be recognized by
any farmer as very conservative esti-
mates. This does not include the
cost of taking to market.
Now let us figure upon the live
stock. Again taking Secretary Mob
ler's figures, he finds the cost of rails
ing a steer to the age of 3 years to
be $21 05, and as it would cost as much
to raise a heifer to the same age, it is
certainly fair to place the cost of COWS
at this figure. But this does not in
clude the cost of feeding steer to fit
him for market, and Mr.. Mulvsne's
figures treat of cattle to be marketed
during the year as marketable or fat
tened cattle. In Secretary Mohler's
report but few estimates are given Of
the cost of feeding. In Ottawa county
the cost of q steer fitted for market is
placed at $49; In PottaWatomie county
at $27; in Republic county at SIS.
The Pottawatomie estimate is GER
tsinly too low, while that Of Republic
county is as certainly too high. The
best estimates of conservative feeders
place the average cost at S45.
The cost of the average hog fitted
for market could not be placed below
So, and the stockers cost about all
they are worth as stockers.
Now let us tabulste these figures
and see how the result compares with
that obtained by Mr.. Mulvsne:

STATISTICAL PROSPERITY.

This is a variety Of prosperity to be
found only in figures, and it is kept
on tap by republican newspaper men,
orators and politicians in general.
The supply Of it is inexhsustible, and
the more there is drawn from it, the
more there remains. Statisticians Of
republican faith are won't to present
very formidable arrays Of figures at
stated periods designed to show the
rapid increase Of wealth in the hands
Of the people, and the latest produc-
ton in this line comes from J. r. Null
vsne, Of the Topeka bank. His
contribution is being extensively pub
lished under headlines that are sup
posed to be perfectly paralyzing to
calamity howlers." Those head
lines are essential to a full spprecia-
ton of the subject, and we therefore
reproduce them:
