Magner returned with Mrs. Wilson and
found a wiry young negro, perfectly nude,

What are you trying to do?" queried
the policeman.
Wilson assured him that it was none Of
his business, and then Magner said he
would have to go along TO the station

The negro locked aston:shed and said
he would not go for forty policemen.
Magner took hold of Wilson, but he

a. Michigan avenue druggist the other
evening.
"Leeches are considered frst-rate,"
replied the druggist, but where is the
black eye?"

History of Wheeling in Utah-..contlnued.

at one period of his life been a noun
tebank, and evidently a good one, for
after practicing in secret a number Of
times he astonished the regiment,
drawn up in review one day, by sud-
denly throwing his stick high in the
air, catching il in his mouth upon its
descent and swallowing fully half of
it, Having accomplished this gastron-
omic diversion, he stood for a moment
while the spectators gazed in awed
amazement and then disgorged the
half of the baton which he had swal-
lowed and continued his march down
the line.
He repeated this trick a good many
times and the regiment was very
proud of him, but it brought it such
an unenviable reputation that the
colonel finally had to stop him. Now
his performance is thoroughly con-
ventional.-New York World.

LOST THE POOL FOR \ SHILLING.
Tale of John Jacob Aston, Il Cham
paEne Bottle md a Joke.

One Of the devices to relieve the
tedium of even the record-breaking
voyages of the present day is TO have
a pool upon the run of the ship from
eight bells noon until eight bells noon
the following day, says : New York
World. Beginners forget al in west
erning day nowadays is almost TWEEN
ty-five hours. On board the Campania
April % a Wefl-known jeweler was the
auctioneer. After a good. deal of diff
ference of opinion, owing to the per-
sistent obs. ruction of a Mr.. Daintrey
and his fox terrier, it was left to
show of hands. and it was decided to
sell the run from sos to $50 knots.
The twenty-five numbers were
placed ii a hat. and Mr.. John Jacob
Astor was awarded No. SIS. When it
came to the auction the allotted num-
bers were put up for competition,
each passenger beipg al liberty to bid
as high as he chose, and in the event
of the owner of the original allotment
buying his number. for say 80 shil-
hngs, he would contribute that amount
to the pool. If he allowed his number
to be purchased by some one else who
fancied it and bid pounds for it, the
owner received pounds back from the
pool Mr. AstOr'S number (51S) was bid
up to 81 shillings, when he smiled and
let the other man nave 1t for 81 Shll-
lings.
The high field" the numbers over
$50, was chen put Up. and after a spir-
tied fight was sold for 8 guineas. The
'low field" was then offered-the num-
bers under sos. The weather had been
lovely all day and big run was con-
fidently expected. The ship has a re-
cord of $50 knots. No sooner had the
latter sale begun than Captain Jake
AIiley, who was once James Fisk, jr.'s
secretary, took a big champagne bot !
tie from the table, and. Stepping to |
the passageway, blew over the mouth |
Of the bottle, making a sound exactly |
like a fog horn. 1t was getting dark, |
but even above the clatter of the |
smoking room the long "toots'' We're
heard. Mr.. Astor's ears are excellent. |
He bought the low field for IA pounds, |
10 shillings. When the run was posted |
the next day that number SIS that he |
had let go for 80 shillings won the pool |
Of AZ pounds 10 shillings, or about
S237.50.
