Where Cash IL "Lent the same Day
A gentleman suffering from financial
disability went to a loan Office to nego-
tiate a borrow upon his furniture. In
the advertisement it stated that the
money would be lent the same day by
Choctaw lady, without removal and
upon the note of hand of the borrower.

to meet the collector without n blush?'
The manager OF the loan Office was

hadn't said the speech right and 50 he
began over again in this style:

to meet an unjust liability"
Still there was no answer. Then the
borrower walked into the outside room
and said to the office boy:
Whats the matter with the man
ager? Can't he tall?'
II guess it's because you haven't paid
the entrance fee. No person is a mem
Der of this loan society until he has put
up one dollar"
The borrower apologized and depOs-
tied the money. Next he repaired to
the mangager and repeated his original
assertion.
I'VE charge one dollar more for book

: What's bOoBage?'
That's none of your business. One
dollar, please.

wrote down something in book.

o'clock in the afternoon and get our

! But the money is due tomorrow.

/ But you can't put people like that

The manager smiled a superior smile.
! ''Oh. no there aren't" he said You'll
know n little more about waiting when
you get through with us"
J The borrower left the Office reluctant

two O'Clock. Then the manager told

VIII Oppose Confirmation.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. - Senator
Mitchell, a member of the judiciary
committee, to whom will be referred
the nomination of justice to the SUI
preme court, said that he had been as
sured by leading democratic senators
that it makes no difference whom Har-
rison may appoint to succeed Justice
Lamar, the democrats have determined
to defeat the confirmation if it loses
every bit of legislation now pending,
and even defeats the appropriation
bills They intend to fight the man, no
matter whether he is a republican or a
demo crat, or if his character is pure as
crystal, and to use all the physical
strength they possess to defeat the con-
firmation Threats of this kind com
ing to President Harrison will probably
determine him to appoint good repub-
lican for the place and let the senate
fight it out All this tends towards al
extra session.

Sherman law should be to repeal the
law which authorizes the United States
treasury to issue gold certificates against
the deposit of gold, thereby making the
treasury a storehouse without any gain
whatever. The effect Is to lock up the
gold in the treasury vaults i'll place of
