SUGGESTION.

The Minister Knsw Where There Was o3S
For Him. f.
A worthy resident Of q western Maine
town has passed a hard winter. He has
been sick, other members Of his family
have been i'll, and he has reached nearly
the bottom Of his purse. Healways was
q good churchgoing man and always did
what he could to help along tho denomi-
nation with which he is connected. One
day one Of the younger mon Of the church
happened to meet the pastor, and 1t oc-
Cured to him to say something like this:
81 have been thinking q good deal
about Mr.. 8. Of late. Hehas had a hard
winter and is in almost destitute circum-
stances. Don't you think it would be a
good plan for the church to get up a
pound party or a donation or something
of the kind, and help him out a little?'
EYES," responded the clergyman, 81
have no doubt that that would be a good
plan. But / was down to see MI. 8. the
other day (this dryly) and as near as ]
could learn from what he said, I judge
that If you would pay him the $25 you
owe him 1t would help him out consid-
erably."-Bangor Commercial.

He Caught Something Then.

I remember years ago q ~17-year-old
cousin from the country Unexpectedly
joining q family party In town at tea.
He had brought his p~ortmanteau, and
like one Of Mr.. Smiles young men ar
rived in London to make his fortune
had evidently "come to stay"
"Glad to see you, Jack, said the host
ess, ''but to what are we indebted for
this condescensionY'
"Oh, such alarki Old Dobbin (his tu-
tori and half the pupils are down with
scarlet fever"
There was a dreadful scrimmage. The
elder children snatched up the younger
and fed from the room. The hostess
clasped her babe to her breast and glared
at the intruder as though he had come
purposely to deprive her Of her offspring.
"Do you como here from a house full
of scarlet feverY' she gasped.
Don't you be frightened about me-"
returned that awful boy. II lever catch
anything"
But he did that ime.-Shefield Sun.

win mean the next generation, ana nov
this. Nor u 10 true that one must spend q
small fortune in order TO behold the glor-
les of the White City. II II not true one
must submit to extortion or robbery in
Chicago. Two weeks ago I wrote a letter
In which ] expressed the opinion that one
would be able to secure rooms and board
in Chicago Mt almost any price he felt like
paying. / then predicted that an effort
would be made by many hotel proprietors
and restaurant-keepers to extort unneces-
sary and unjust prices from guests, but
that the herceness Of competition would
very quickly lead to reductions. This In
exactly what has already happened.
just after the opening Of the fair a cry
went up In the columns Of eastern papers
that Chicago was trying to rob the people.
The Chicago papers were compelled to
take the matter up and make investiga-
lions. They found that in many instances
these charges were well based. But It
must be said to their credit that they con-
demned extortion wherever they found it
and exposed the guilty parties. The men
who started out to get rich in a few weeks
by charging ormou rates 500 found
that not only was public sentiment against
them but they were cutting off their own
noses. There were so many other places
In which guests could find entertainment
ut reasonable prices that their exorbitant
establishments were soon deserted.
Already we find conditions settlingdown
here. We are now able to ascertain APP
proximately what it will cost a man or q
party or a family to come to Chicago and
see the fair for Ave or six days or more
time. BY good management, and sup

Tor playing one, so as soon as he had
the darkey securely locked he wrote
and sent the following message to
Mr.. Russell "Send S. and have
your negro released, this is my
charge for impounding negroes, as
they are much more destructive than

always charge $50" Mr.. Russell
came at once to see about his negro
and had him released after he had
been "impounded'' about two hours
without paying Mr.. McCrory's i'm

EVERYBODY is ready to admit that cotton
raising has been overdone and the farmers
are the sufferers The opinion is almost
unanimous that the people would be better
off with halt of the usual cotton crop, but
the difficulty Is in how to let it go, Every
farmer is afraid to curtail his own crop,
lest his neighbors all fail to do likewise.
Now practical view of the case is this :
Whether your neighbors cut down or not,
suppose you try it. and plant more corn
and oats, then if the cotton is low, your
corn aud oats will bear good prices, be-
cause of the scarcity. Suppose you try it.

said the young woman excitedIy, 81
will trust him to no one" And,
with indignant tread, she marched
to the baggage car, tied her dog,
and returned. About fifty miles
further on, when the conductor
came along again, she asked him
"Will you tell me if my dog is all
right % 81 am very sorry" said the
conductor politely, ''but you tied
him to a trunk and he was thrown
off with it at the the last station"
