ACARD FROM A. G. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so we'll known, far and near, that we feel that we may safely. for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An lad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, we heard man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Hawleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remarke ed to us conh- dentially, in an on hand way that writing lads" out Of business hours Is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got 1t; and he looked away over into the next county when he said it but,-weu, we are not slow to take a hint, if 1t Is a blind one. It would be perfectly aw- ful if we should really get 1t this softening disease, we mean, ! and have 1t get real deep- ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the cofrers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies," eat brain ness, 1. 0. selling furniture at Hawleyville. Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how eensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boycotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile. Don't tell them that we are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate. be just, be considerate be charitable, beliberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be stue and come to Hawleyville before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin it in your hat.

TAKEN FOR A GHOST.

An Amusing Experience of @ Young Irish
 Traveller In Ghent.
 Many years ago an Irish student, hay ing obtained travelling scholarship at Oxford, went abroad to see the world, of which he knew little Crammed with the classics, he had not the slightest knowledge of any modern language save English.
 On landing at the sleepy town of Ghent he put up at an old many pas saged hotel and sallied forth in the even- ing to see the town. Shortly after 9 o'clock he returned to the hotel through streets ominously silent. He found the doors shut and saw no signs of life within. After making noise enough to rouse the "seven sleepers" he heard the sound of some one moving within,
 The door was stealthily unbarred, and some one-whether man or woman he could not tell-holding a dim oil lamp reluctantly gave him admission. Then. barring the door and muttering unintelligible sounds, the figure disap- peared The guest yelled for the waiter and was anSwered by a mocking echo.
 He groped his way up the oreaking staircase and felt along the passage till he came to an open door. Thinking it the door of his room, which he had left open to guide him, he entered A shriek was heard, and gruff voice called out in French, "Who are youf' He re- treated and heard the door angrily shut and bolted.
 T,, &1a hSl,x ha hoI rd gar fuses and a wax taper. He lighted one of the fuses, but before he could ap- ply the flame to the taper 1t went out. After exhausting his stock of matches and filling the passage with strong sulphurous odor he was left in the dark ness of despair.
 He regained the staircase, descended 1t and found his way to subterranean passage. There suddenly he heard a piercing shriek and then fall like that of carpetbag. A rushing of many feet was followed by light.
 The feet were those of walters and chambermaids The fall was that of a plump English lady 8 maid. The bearer of the light spoke English, and from him the stranger learned the cause of his rescue.
 The fruttless attempts to light his ta- per had covered his fingers with phos- phorus from the matches. His gestio- ulations had rubbed the phosphorus over his clothes. and in the dark pas sage he glowed with unearthly light. The lady's maids nerves were upset, and she went into mysteries. Having explained these facts, the waiter showed the guest to his room.-Philadelphia Times

Postal Red Tape.

The rule of the dead letter office is to make extraordinary effort to return all missent letters which are found to con- tain money But blind obedience to this rule is the basis of an entertaining story. A boy in the Indian school on the Skokomish reservation, which is about three miles from the postoffice of I Union City, Wash, wrote letter to his brother at Seabeck some time ago, inclosing in it small sum of money.
 He also wrote on the envelope that, if it should not be delivered in proper time, was to be returned to the writ CT. His brother did not call for it, and it was returned to Union City. The postmaster there had not heard of the boy, and on inquiry failed to find him. Accordingly he sent the letter to the dead letter office.
 On arrival here it was opened, and it had money in it It was returned to Union City with a long letter of instruc- tions to find the writer, if possible. After inquiry the boy was at last found and was requested to go in person, claim the letter and receipt for it, and the postmaster had to go through as much red tape as If the letter contained $1,000. The joke becomes evident when it is known that the money in the letter amounted to only cent postage stamp and a copper cent. New York Tribune.

The Encyclopaedia Britannica is au. thority for the following account of the speeches delivered in the house of com. mons by the elder Pitt, afterward earl of Chatham:'
 It is related of him that once in the house of commons he began speech with the words. Sugar, Mir. Speaker, !" and then, observing a smile to prevail in the audience, he paused, looked fiercely around, and with loud voice, rising in its notes and swelling into vehement anger, he is said to have pro- nounoed again the word sugar" three times. and having thus quelled the house and extinguished every appearance of levity or laughter turned round and dis dainfully asked.

Getting the ObeIisk Aboard ship . Pretty
 Piece of Engineering.
 "One of the pleasantest reoolleotions [ have to look back on. said Adam Johnson, Ifs the fact that was one of the party that helped to run up the American colors over Cleopatra's needle when it was being taken down to be carried to New York. Our vessel was out in the Mediterranean with rowing commission, and we were at Alexandria at the time the obelisk was being mov- ed The big stone had been presented by the Egyptian government to this coun- try, but the people were wild about hav- ing 1t moved. We had to place guard around the men who were working on the shaft, and even then there was al- most a riot
 But that was one of the prettiest pieces of engineering work have ever seen. The engineers who were moving our shaft had a couple of big wooden cases built that fitted around the needle like the pieces of wood around the lead in pencil There were a couple of pro- jectiles on each side of the castings just on the center of gravity in the shaft, like the .trunnions on cannon. Under these they put lifting jacks and just picked that immense stone off its pedestal, swung 1t around horizontal and then lowered it as gently as could be on long sliding way, with cannon balls under it for rollers. They had a square hole cut in the stern of the steamship and slid it into the hull through that and replaced the sheathing outside
 "Under the shaft in the inside of the pedestal there were lot of bronze toads and ornaments and the Lord knows what not that the Masons claimed were placed there by some of their progenitors cons ago. don't know anything about that, though, and you can leave 1t or take 1t, as you choose.
 "The British were not half so slick with the obelisk they carried over to England. They cased it up in big sheet iron arrangement like boiler, riv. eted it in and fioated the whole thing off through trench dug in the sand down to the water. Then they rigged jury sails on it and lowed 1t over to England, but they lost three or four men off it before they got it in port and had all sorts of time generally.
 "A couple of years afterward l saw the British obelisk set up on the east bank of the Thames, and when came home the first thing went to see was ours in Central park. "-Washington Post .-...,
