WHY HE LEFT.
Uncle Henry Did Not Pass Very Pleasans
Night.

e-9S - -Os~oeSA@~
Night.
"Girls, I've got a scheme that will help
us to get even with John for some Of his
practical jokes on US, said young lady
to her sister and cousin on Capitol hill
| Thursday night. ''Where can we borrow
some little alarm clocks?''
IT know of several, y said the sister, and
by dinner time they had managed to bor-
row and smuggle five into Brother Johns
sleeping room. While the rest of the fami-
| ~ were at the dinner table the girls went
up TO Johns room, and the alarm to one
clock was set for 1 a. m. and the time
keeper hidden behind picture in one cor
ner.
The next was set for O'Clock and placed
behind his looking glass. The 8 o'clock
alarm was placed carefully behind the
washbowl, while O'Clock was laid away
| in good shape under the bed Then they
fixed one for O'Clock and hung it by
string behind the center of the headboard
on the bed. By this time they we're ready
to dress for the theater.
About 9 o'clock Johns grouty Uncle
Henry came rather unexpectedly from
Boston, and as the best thing to be done
be was given Johns room for the night.
OF course he was very tired.
1t was nearly midnight when the girls
came home, and they knew nothing of the
retired to their room adjoining Johns and
awaited the first gun. When 1 o'clock
was w-h-i-r-r-e-d out by the clock behind
the PICTURE the girls heard a rolling over
in bed and one or two indistinct grumbles.
! At 2 o'clock there was some muttering,
and Course that clockl'' came in q grut
voice from under the bedclothes.
At the machine behind the washbowl
| got in its work, and the girls heard the
of ha h.a1 hoa, = a
floor and an evident skirmish after
matches, accompanied by several remarks
| in full faced italic. Then when o'clock
| came:
"Blankety blank that blanked clock to
| blanknation'' was the suppressed howl Of
a hoarse voice as Il heavy body bounced
out of bed Sgain. what in the devil has
| got into the blanked thing anyway" And
the girls heard him rummage around
to enjoy the fun, but the explosions were
getting so hot they became frightened.
| Finally quiet reigned again.
At O'Clock the alarm tied to the head
! board commenced its reveille, and it was
too much for the old man.
"Well, I'll be blankety. dash BANKED
| I'd just like to mash the face of the man
who made the Internal thing and the
blanked fool who bought it too.'
The girls heard him land on the floor
and begin singing things around in his
room all the while growing to himself
In a short time they heard the front door
open and close. Then they went to sleep.
The early morning train north carried a
very irate Boston man toward home, and
at the breakfast table on Capitol hill tho
opinion was expressed that Sc Uncle Henry
must be late sleeper" The reason for
his hasty departure is still mystery to
the old people at the house, but was given
to a Star man in confidence by one of the
young ladies.-Washingto Star.

he would or not, we should not think
of nominating him again. 1 am a
supporter of Cleveland, but not for a

BUSINESS REVIEW.
A Slight shrinkage of Prices Occurs
From Natural Causes.

A Slight Shrinkage of Prices Occurs
From Natural Causes.
NEW York, Nov. 30.-R. G. Dun &
Cos weekly review of trade says:
Business has not improved, though
there is very little change except in
the shrinkage of prices which a period
of inaction naturally causes. After
the extraordinary buying of the sum-
mer and early fall d marked decrease
was inevitable and it is yet too early
in most branches to judge how far the
future was anticipated in purchases.
Retail stocks are still reported full in
nearly all branches. with delayed
distribution in many on account of
unfavorab bic weather. The movement
of crops is only fair, both cotton and
wheat being largely kept back in the
hope of higher prices, and there is
prevalent feeling that foreign imports
will fall off.
The wooden business makes scarcely
any gain. The iron market is decided
~ weaker again
The Western receipts of wheat con-
tinue larger than last fear-for the
week. 4, 500, pol bushels against 3, 1858,
4O4 a year ago, and for four weeks of
November, 29,902,52 against 15,ssO,-
07S last year. AS before, Atlantic ex-
ports are relatively small. and for four
weeks have been only s267, lO6 bush
els flour .included) against 6,742, 495
last year. 1t is evident that with such
movements higher prices can hardly
be expected, nor can the exchange
situation be favora bly, affected.
During the past week failures have
been 279 in the United States against
2S9 last year, and 4? in Canada
against SO last year.

Illicit Still Kun by q Nebraska Farmer
Which Made Fifty Gallons Day.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. ao.-The vast
yield of sugar beets in Nebraska and
the inability of farmers to dispose of
the vast quantity as rapidly as con-
venient have provoked some peculiar
violations of the revenue laws. A still
has been captured in Sherman county
from which whisky was being made
from the beets. It was owned by
Charles Riedel, farmer. The quality
of the whisky was good and fears are
entertained by revenue officials that
others will engage in the business.
The still had a capacity of fifty gallons
day. An old cook stove and a
vacated sod house composed the estsb-
lishment.
