Wool Market.

The wool market continues dull, but the
weeks business foots up larger than the
previous six days, from the fact that lower
prices have been generally accepted A
very depressed tone yet exists, and buyers
have no idea what they are willing TO pay
for supplies. Money is difficult TO obtain,
the goods market is dull and fiat, and the
outlook is dubious on account of expected
tariff legislation: consequently manufac-
turers are not anxious to pile up any large
stock of wool at any reasonable price, not
even on free wool'' basis Holders Of wool
are obliged to sell at loss anyway, and
owing to late failures among wooden man
ufacturers have lost confidence and lean
largely toward cash sales, buyers on time
being obliged to make very good showing
in order to get supplies. Cash bids for
moderate lots have been made at low fig
ures, but no one has shown disposition
to buy a large line at any price. Blocks
of several hundred thousand pounds NIX
Ohio, to arrive, at 25c. have been offered
without attracting buyers. Australian
wool is dull, the low prices for domestic
fieeces having taken the foreign out OF
competition. Carded woods are dull and
steady.

Tact.

The value of little tact is Illus.
trated in story which dates back
many years ago. One of the last i'm
portant measures of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts,, before Maine was
made state, was to negotiate with
the Penobscot Indians for the pur-
chase of their rights in a large tract of
land, and some very eminent gentle
men were selected to carry out the
bargain.
After the signing of the deed with
all due formality by the assemb!
Sagamores at Bangor it was necessary
for them to acknowledge it," as the
legal phrase is. One of the stately
commissioners held up the paper and
asked "if they acknowledged it to be
their free act and deed"
The result was the red men gath
cred their blankets around them and
relapsed into a state of stoical indiffer-
ence, giving no sign of reply. Gen.
Blake, who was present. had had much
to do with the Indians and saw at
once that they did not understand
what he formality required of them
meant.
"Let me try" he said, taking the
paper. Turning to the head chief he
said: You willing-and all the rest Of
the IndiansP"
"Oui! Quill" they all cried in answer,
showing as much willingness as they
had hitherto of reserve. : Waverty

TOLD EXCEEDINGLY TOUGH YARNS.
How a Nebraska Youth Sought to while
Away Time on a Train.

Il was travelling from Chicago to
Denver several weeks ago." remarked
a young Nebraskan to N. Y. Herald
man, "when there came into the car
and sat beside me sanetimonious in
dividual whom l thought looked par
ticularly gullible. He was dressed in
gray and was evidently-so, at least, /
thought-some itinerant clergyman.
"Well, | was feeling pretty good, and
to while away the time started in by
telling him some of my western yarns.
He was very courteous, and listened
to my 'hairbreadth escapes and Indian
stories with evident interest. That
he believed every word / uttered l
didn't for one moment entertain
doubt. He finally asked me where I
lived, and /, selecting a town in Idaho
at random, replied that my home was
at Arrowville; that l was born there,
in fact.
81 had but just returned. l told him,
from a German university, Where I
had taken course in mining engineer
ing. He appeared very much interest
ed and | went on to tell him more
about myself.
"My father, l continued, had settled
in Arrowville early in the sos, had
stolen young Indian squaw after kill
ing her buck, had married her and /
was the result of the union.
"'You hardly appear to have had an
Indian mother he remarked, glanc-
ing at my blond head and light COM
plexion. l thought he was growing
more interested, so continued to pile
it on.
"'My father said 1, is the owner of
the Red Dog mine, and is, suppose,
worth as much money as any man in
the territory. He really built the
town, you know, or rather you would
know if you should ever happen to stay
In that town over night.
"My companion looked me over
scrutinizingly,a and I continued: why,
there's the town of Shasta, right near
Arrowville. It was raided by the In
dians four years ago. They had an
awful fight over there, l assure you.
My father alone killed half dozen of
the painted devils with his trusty rifle.
A great town is Shasta. Bound to be
metropolis some day. There's an
English syndicate going to invest
several millions of dollars in land in
that vicinity
"Here," continued the speaker, "my
friend in gray looked out of the win
dow and an amused smile stole over
his features. Finally turning toward
me and looking me squarely in the
eyes, he remarked:
"1t is very strange, young man, that
1 have never heard of any of these
things before. l have lived in Arrow
vile, Idaho, for the last fifteen years.

Madam Had Her Way.

In the parlor car sat richly dressed
young woman tenderly holding very
small poodle. madam" said the con-
ductor as he punched her ticket, II
am very sorry, but you can't have
your dog in this car"
81 shall hold him in my lap all the
way" she replied, "and he will disturb
no one."
"That makes no difference. said the
conductor, 81 couldn't allow my own
dog here. Dogs must ride in the bag
gage car. I'll fasten him all right for
you-"
"Don't you touch my dog, SIR" said
the young woman excitedly. Il will
trust him to no one." And, with in
dignant tread, she marched TO the
baggage car, tied her dog, and re-
turned. About fifty miles farther on,
when the conductor came along again,
she asked him, @Will you tell me if my
dog is all rightP" al am very sorry"
said the conductor politely, "but you
tied him to a trunk and he was thrown
off with it at the last station. Pitts

TWO SARCASTIC GIRLS.
They Get Into an Argument Over Their
Lovers, but Come Out About Even.

I was amused at the conversation
between two young girls at Ilion the
other evening. 1t ran something like
this, and shows that femininity is the
same the world over:
"My, Carrie, what lovely hat you
have"
"Do you think SOP" with a pleased
SMILEY. "Why, 1 think it is just hor-
rid. I've told mamma every time that
I put it on that I would never wear it
again" ,,.t ,o,o,,,
ing thing you ever wore"
"Do youP Now l think that veil
you have got is the most bewitching
thing ever saw. If I had your style
@Now, how mean you are, blushing-
1y: 81 know you are making fun OF
me-"
aIndeed 1 am not" Indignantly.
"Oh, where did you get that lovely
pin? think it is the prettiest thing l
have ever seem"
"Well, will tell you. Charlie gave
it to me-but you must never, never
tell. I told mamma that Ella B
gave it to me, for she doesn't believe
in my having a fellow, you know"
How mean! think your Charlie
is the sweetest fellow 1 ever saw, with
the exception of my Fred. You know
that Charlie squints, and -
"Squints! Who squints?"
"Why Charlie does, and -"
"Well, if he does squint he hasn't
got red hair. If my fellow had hair as
red as your Fred has, -"
WELL" Indignantly, "if he has got
red hair he don't have to carry a
telescope or a compass or field glass
or sextant to find out where he is at.
Charlie went down by the electric
light works at Little Falls the other
night. He heard the engine in the
works putting away. Being nearsight-
ed he couldn't see where he was. He
was found there standing patiently in
the morning, and a Central switch
man noticed him and went up to him
and asked him what he was doing
there Waiting for the train to go by,
he said, pointing to the electric light
works"
"Oh, you mean thing! You just
made that up out of whole cloth. Any
way, your Fred is accused of setting
fire to the buildings destroyed in Lit
tie Falls. heard that he laid down in
the hay at the Rockton barn and his
hair set fire -"
AS there was strong prospect OF
fight right at this point the observer
got away from the scene as quickly as
ossible-Little Falls Budget.
