effect. A sale of 95, 0O0 bushels of No. 2

"By the way" said the drummer,
as he took "a cigar out Of his case
and reached for match, "this
American nation has lost heaps of
money by not knowing a good
thing when it was crawling around
in the grass"
ITO what do you referp' asked
the man who had been sharpening
his knife on his bootleg.
ITO this cigar case. Latest fad
out-made of snakeskin, and CON-
bines beauty and wear. We might
have been using that sort of mater
ial for the last 200 years, but didn't
know a good thing"
"Are you sure it's snakeskin?"
"Of course. Haven't you been
in New York latelyp"
aNo."
"Place OH Grand street where
they make 'em while you wait.
Not only that, but you can pick

himself. But could he reach the
station in time? Five miles in less
than forty minutes! He would
ride his bicycle, but there was not
a moment to lose even then.
Hastily writing a few words to
his sister, he was off up the long
hill leading to the public road. 1t
was hard work, and he was tired
when he reached the summit; but
all would be smooth now, and he
felt kind of courage he had not
known before,-the courage born
of noble purpose.
AS he drew near the station he
heard the long whistle of the COM
ing train. All would be well if it
stopped here; but fast trains rarely
stopped at this small country place.
There would be no time to signal,
and he felt that all hope was lost.
He sprang upon the platform at
the station as the last car went by.
Grasping the hand-rail he swung
himself up the steps. Hurrying
through the cars till he found the
conductor, he cried: 'Stop the
train. Bridge gone" Faint with
exhaustion he fell upon the floor.
Strangers whose life he had saved
lifted him up and cared for him
tenderly.
The train was stopped aud backed
up to the station. Ned was soon
surrounded by the passengers, all
eager to learn the cause of the de-
lay. He told his story simply and
without boasting.
Just as he finished speaking, a
gentleman pressed forward to see
the boy who had done this heroic
deed. With a cry Of surprise and
delight Ned sprang toward him.
1t was Mr.. Burton coming home
several hours ahead of time to sur
prise his children.
He had observed the swollen
streams passed during the night,
and he knew that Brush Creek must
be over its banks, making it impos-
sible to reach home from the sta
tion beyond.
1t was the delay caused by stop
ping here that brought Ned Bur-
toms heroism it's proper reward,
which otherwise would have been
of no avail. Ned thought of the
precious moments wasted at home
in idle hesitancy, and to him 1t be-
came a lifelong lesson; but the res
cued passengers thought only Of
the noble impulse that prompted
the attempt.

choice, and he was taken out, his
skin slipped off, and in about twenty
minutes l had this case. Very con-
venient, don't you know, and its
strictly New York idea"
III think we can beat it in Chi
cago, however" said the other man,
as he changed his knife to the other
bootleg.
Anything new there?"
"You bet! There's a restaurant
on State street where they serve OK
tail soup at ten cents a plate, and
they bring in the OK and cut his
tail off right before your eyes. In
that way there can be no deception.
They use about 1,500 tails per day."
"Must make a big lot of bob
tailed oxen out your wayP"
"Oh, it does"
"And bob-tailed OK is not a
thing of beauty"
"By no means, not until he is
fixed"
"How fixed?"
"Why, as fast as they leave the
restaurant they are taken over to a
place on Randolph street and de-
horned"
"And then?"
"And then they are sent east and
sold as Jersey cows. You get your
soup, your horns, your fad and your
Jersey COW; all very simple and
very convenient, you know, and it's
strictly Chicago ideaw
The man with the snakeskin case
sat and thought for awhile with a
very serious expression Of counte-
nance, and then suddenly said:
"I've tried and tried, but it's no
use, and l might as well give it up"
whats that?"
