The Bargain Stood.

A very absentminded member Of the
French institute was reading the newspa-
per in the Casino at Dieppe. He was al
sorbed by his reading, and with his lett
hand he unconsciously pushed the files of
newspapers on the table. Each moment he
sent them farther from him. Beyond the
papers was an inkstand, which at last the
moving papers pushed over the side Of the
table. 1t fell on the trousers of a Paris
banker, who was furious at the accident.
The absentminded man offered his best
excuses without appeasing the bankers
wrath. who shrieked that his new trousers
were ruined.
But, sir, l will cheerfully pay for them.
Be good enough to give me your card, and |
will send the money to your hotel"
ITO my hotel, sir. don't know you. |
must instantly have the 80 francs those
trousers COST
The member of the institute drew forth
the 30 francs and handed them to the bank
er. Then he said:
Nov that you nave been paid, | hope
you have too much OF the delicacy of a gen
tleman to enain in my trousers. You
know they are mine, and l insist upon their
immediate delivery to me. You have nc
confidence in me. nave none in you. My
trousers!'
In vain the banker protested against such
haste. The crowd that had gathered about
the di%sputants said the member Of the in
stitute was right, and the banker, after
sending for another pair of neither gar
ments, surrendered the ink stained ones
amid the laughter of the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

How to Throw a Horse and XIII Him.

There is a certain way that experienced
stockmen know Of throwing a horse down
80 AZ to break his neck and kill him at
once. An ordinary halter is put on the
horse, the lead strap from it passed between
the horses front legs, u turn being taken
around the far one near the fetlock. The
executioner then hits the horse a sharp cut
with a whip, and when he jumps up pulls
sharply and strongly on the halter strap
The horse strikes head first with the entire
weight On his neck. The fall is invariably
fatal,-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

OUR CROP REPORTS,

The Herald will this season, as in
the past, publish returns from the
threshing machiues, and all readers of
the paper are earnestly requested to
hand in or send all yields which
come to their knowledge. That these
crop reports are considered valuable as
advertising matter for our county is
evident by the fact that one of the great
railroad companies used, in one their
advertising phamphlets. nearly a page
of crop items taken from the Herald.
Help us all you can in this work, read
ers, and the Herald will do its share.
The Herald will be sent to any
address not now on the subscrip-
ton book, until Jsnuary LIST,
1894, for 25 cents.
A general statement of such and
such yield does not have the weight
and influence with outsiders that does
statement which gives the name of the
farmer and the location of his farm.
If you want your eastern friends to
learn about the crops in Turner Coun-
ty, come in and have the Herald sent
to their address.
