Spoiled It All.

A farmer went to hear John Wesley preach. Wesley said he would take up three topics of thought. He was talking chiefly about money. His first was, "Get all you can." The farmer nudged a neighbor and said: "This is strange preaching. I never heard the like be- fore. This is very good" Then Wesley discoursed on Industry" Activity" Living to Purpose" and reached his second division, Save all you can" The farmer became more excited. "Was there ever anything like this?" he said. Wesley denounced thriftlessness and waste, and he satirized the willful wick edness which lavishes in luxury, and the farmer rubbed his hands, and he thought, "All this have been taught from my youth up," and what with getting. and what with hoarding, it seemed to him that salvation" had come to his house. But Wesley advanced to his third head, which was, Give all you can." ''Ah, dear! ah, dear" said the farmer, .'he has gone and spoiled it all."-Ram's Horn.

THE MIDWINTER FAIR.
o.iiforniass Expedition In Golden Cate
 Park Opened.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.-The Californis Midwinter international exposition was formally opened today. Great preparations had been made for the event, and the fact that Governor Markham issued a procla nation declaring & holiday caused gen. eral suspension of business In this city and in the most important places throughout the state.

It was composed of regular troops brigade of the national guard, naval re serve, a large number of independent mill tary companies and representatives from all the principal civic societies and com mercial bodies.

He Added a Postscript.

The following genuine ''bull" story is related by down town merchant: An out of town customer, to whom some goods had been shipped, discovered, as he thought, mistake in the bill over charging him to considerable amount. He wrote to the merchant in the city without delay, and the letter was duly received. It dwelt at length on careless ness in general and particularly in the case of this bill, waxing indignant over the foolish mistake and demanding cor rect bill at once. At the foot of the let ter was the hastily written postscript to this effect, ''Since writing the above I have re-examined your bill and find it correct after all."-New York Tribune.

A Fish Fooier.

The latest triumph of Yankee invent i've genius is in an india rubber fish worm. It is said to be a remarkably good imitation of the common earth worm, is indestructible and in actual use proves as alluring to the fishes as the genuine article. The old fisherman will be quick to perceive its advantages. One can equip himself for days sport with out digging over whole garden in his search for bait. A handful of india rub Der worms will last him whole season. and there will be no necessity of pulling up the line every few minutes to see If the small fry nibblers have left the hook bare. e.--Columbus (GA.)

CORBETT CHAMPION.
IN THREE SHORT, VICIOUS ROUNDS
 HE KNOCKS MITCHELL OUT.


 Licked and wm Not Fight Again-Cor- bett Fought Like an Enragsd Tiger. Story of the Battle.
 JAcKsoNvILLR, Fla, Jan. 26-The after math to the big prize fight begins today in the courtroom, where Corbett, the victor; Mitchell, the vanquished, and dozen or so lesser lights must answer to the charge of disturbing the peace. The proceedings are not regarded in a serious light.
 This rather tame exhibition of the maj esty of the law does not interest the sports in the least. They have seen Corbett, in three short, vicious rounds, knock out the Englishmsn; they have seen the purse of e20 GOO handed over to the champion, and they are getting away with as much haste as possible.
 Neither of the principals looks today as if he had been through a very fierce battle. This is what they have to say of the affair:
 What the Foemsn Say.
