no business to complain about low prices.
Why over in Liverpool to-day we
are selling St. Louis wheat for less than
1t is sold for at St. LOUIS and the flour
of your own mills is being sold by us at
the same figures that It can be had for at
the door Of the mills, notwithstanding the
great distance between Us and the cores
ponding freight charges. To-day in all
England there is not a business that pays
so poorly on the capital invested as the
wheat and flour business.
Drifting off into politics and desiring

our government and the mannerin which
our political affairs are conducted, I
found had struck upon fruitful topic.
"Coming," he said, ''from little coun-
try that you can almost hop over in one
evening, I am not 50 foolish as to criti-
else the government of an immense COM
monwealth like yours. Considering the
extent of the domain and the youth of
the republic you have most remarkable
government. But your professional po-
liticians-those who enter Office for the
money that there is in it despise. We
have nothing like them in Great Britain.
Over there when man enters Parlia-
ment he expects to make nothing, but
generally comes out loser to the extent
of several thousand pounds. In this re-

but on the contrary your record for pro-

Intense excitement prevailed in the loc-
al Western Union office on Monday. The
genial operator entered the office uneX-
pectedly, with trousers tattered and torn
and with blood stains, staring the mes
senger boy in the face. TO the forehead
of that individual the life giving fund
rushed in torrents. An accident had
happened and Pats look of triumph had
vanished from his face. A dog, Il cruel
dog, was master of the occasion. His
vicious teeth had singled out Pats Sims
for tiendish work. 1t took but an instant.
He paid his respects and then hied HIM
self away to parts unknown. But the
noble portion of Pats anatomy above
referred to bore evidence of laccration.

Would that too and the rest of the pub

be willing to pay for.
In spite of Ferdinand Crone's quiet
and reserved demeanor, he has proved
himself a joker as clever almost as the
redoubtable Stuebe. That little maneau-
yer tor instance by which he secured the
congratulations of everybody on mar
riage that never occurred and then ex-
ploded the rumor, just when everybody
was willing to s'take something" was a
capital one in every respect. 1t was us
other fellows who felt cheap-not Ferdi-

Col. Bobleter, the state treasurer, is a
very successful hunter, and he attributes
his success, particularly in duck and
goose hunting, to his almost unlimited
supply of patience. There a1e few in

been exhausted, and one Of those may be
credited TO his last hunting trip in Ste

and four companions, who were under
his leadership, took up their station
