IKE WANTED TO FLY.
He Tried 1t On Until He Mot with
DlsnStor.


The other afternoon an oldish man
with n satchel between his feet sat
reading newspaper in the waiting
room of the Pennsylvania depot. All
OF sudden he struck telegraph item
and gave jump. He read it over again
and jumped some more. Then, rs he
rose up with the paper in his hand, he
turned to the man next to him and ex-
claimed:
"Durn my hide, if Ike liant went and
done it, and here it is in the papcr!''
"What is it?" asked the man.
"Rcad that"
cit is telcgraphic item to the effect
that n young farmer named Ike John
son. living near Red Bank, jumped off
n haystacll with II parachute. Para
chute didn't work, and Ike broke leg.
Do you know him?"
'Know him! Why the darnedi dot
is my own son. shouted the old man
as he walked around.
Had liking for experiments, did
hep"
"Consarn him he orter broke both
legs and his neck to boot! For hull
year past Ike liant bin with sour milk
wanted to be Il par shootist and travel
around the country maxim desccnts.
He's descended at last, and / hope he
feels bettcr!'
at seems the parachute didn't
work" observed the stranger
"Of course it didn't work. What
does Ike know about parshoots? Hang
it, he don't know huff to keep his bal
ance on thrce-leggcd milk STOOL
About year ago he begun actin ND
with umbrellas. lie was iumpin'
off the corn crib, and the smoke
house, and the wood-shcd, and he was
adjusting every umbrella he could Dor
row for seven miles around. Wall, he's
parshootcd at last, and he'll be on his
back all the fall.'
Yes, it will take some months for
the leg to get as good as new"
And III hcv to pay the doctor bill,
and hire somebody to dig tatcrs and cut
corn! Makes me so hoppin mad can't
stand still. And the wust of it is can't
lick him when git home. 1t says Ike
Johnson. does it?'
"'Yesr
"a young farmcr?"
Yes"
"Rcd hair and frccl,lc- faced, with two
front teeth out?"
NO; it doesn't give those partc,-
lars"
II am SO illustrated l can't read
straight, but that's Ike. There's ONLY
one Ike johnson in that hull county,
and, durn his hide, he calls me fathcr.
The last thing afore I left home the
other day took him around the corner
Of the house and warned him not to do
any parshooting while was gone. lie
said he wouldn't, but my back was 10
sooner turned than he climbs to the top
of haystacll and spreads his wings
and comes down with thump. I'm
mighty glad on it. | wish he'd a-turncd
over and como down head fust!"
perhaps this will be lesson tc
him.

Northern Pacific railroad for twenty-five years,
says that whatever the dividend may be IL will

The general condition Of the company Is ex-
cellent; its earnings now again improving,
and its prospects brighter than they have been
for long time past. The company's business
has suffered revcrses from severe weather,
freshets, etc, but the freight business was only
held back by these occurrences. 1t was not lost,
and the company is now moving II. Not moro

SAN FRANCISCO MARKETS.
THE STATE OF TRADE.

SAN Francisco, May 5-The fruit market is
still depressed. Oranges are a drug on the mar
ket despite the fact that arrivals during the
past few days have only been moderate. Cher
ries are arriving more freely and prices are
shading of accordingly. Strawberries continue
in good demand and prices are well sustained.
Dried fruits are very sluggish in the market,
and inquiry is entirely confined to peaches and
apricots.
The vegetable market enjoyed considerable
activity for early stuff and prices were steady in
the face OF good demand. Onions and aspara-
gus are both frmer. A small lot Of Early Rose
potatoes in boxes was in the market today.
Dairy produce is without any materia, change.
Butter remains steady at quotations owing to

Ny Dear Doctor-This day / come to
you in an important matter and request
you to attend to it at once. My grand
daughter aged nine years had la grippe a
few months ago and although recovered,
is very weak. exceedingly nervous and has
slight attacks OF st. Vitus' dance. We are
very much worried about it. She can
hardly cut meat at the table, her hands
and fingers tremble in trying to button her
shoes. etc. 1t is impossible for her to go
to Seattle and would like to know if you
could treat her after the short above des-
cription. She is also very fond of playing
the piano and likes to read and to learn.
Every time she plays now few minutes
only or reads, she is utterly exhausted and
must quit. Now what shall we do about
thatf Expecting answer by return mail,
Yours truly,
PAUL sTROBACH.
