One of OchiItree's Best.

Most of US know Col. Andrew C. Dick
inson, the accomplished Virginian who does
not like Cleveland because the President
failed to appoint him minister to Spain,
an Office which he would have filed with
great dignity and with honor, says the
New York Press. The colonel has been
a New Yorker for many years. He used
to know Tom Ochiltree when Tom lived
in Texas, and one night stayed at the
same hotel with him. At a reasonable
hour they discussed. old times, and Tom
switched the conversation deity to hotel
rules. why, Dickinson" he said, Sc
riously, do you know that it is impos-
sible to get a bottle of champagne served
in your room at this hotel?"
WHAT" exclaimed Dickinson, who had
all his life been accustomed to having his
way in everything. Not get a bottle of
champagne? I'll bet | can do it,"
wen, it's more than any one here yet
has ever been able to do. l say it is
against the rules and can't be done"
And l say it can be done! By heav-
ems, I'll show you. Not get a bottle of
champagne in my own room at any no
tell"
Might do 1T almost anywhere else, but
net here I've tried it too often"
Dickinson sprang for the bell.
A negro boy appeared at the door
Fetch me a quart of champagne two
large glasses some spoons, angostura bit
tiers and sugar and be quick about it. Dye
hear"
The enraged Virg!nian stormed. He had
made up his mind to have that wine. The
boy FASTENED off on the wings of the wind,
returning presently to ask what kind of
champagne was wanted.
There now, what did I tell you?" said
Oehiltree. That's a way they have of
getting out of sending it. They'll do you
yet"
Not by darned sight" raved Dickin-
son. Fetch me anything, only cham
payne. Hurry it up!'
Turning to Col. Ochiltree he said, with
a dlsdainful smile: tom, you haven
knocked around as much as / have, old
fellow. Now, just observe how 1 shall
work this, and there won't be any more
trouble about wine in this house,
In less time than it takes to tell it the
champagne was on the table and Dickinson
was forging the cocktails. As the pair put
them down one after another, Dickinson
swelled with pride, while Tom quaffed
with satisfaction. In telling the story a
day or two ago Dickinson said:
1T was three months before I discovered
that Ochiltree had made a fool of me. 1
haven't gotten even with him yet"

The rise in the Price of wheat.

The rise in the price of wheat has been
so great since Sept. /. that it has caused
very general comment. Up to Saturday
it amounted to 20 cents bushel, and
there was still further advance yestor-
day. The greater part Of the rise has
taken place within the last month.
The impression is that the price will so
considerably higher, though the specIla-
tors on the bear side Of the market are
doing their utmost TO discourage that In
preston. The rise, however, is not due
to speculation. 1t is legitimate. There
is no corner in wheat, and no syndiclts
is forcing up the price with the view Of
letting it drop after reaplng a big profit.
There is a deficiency in the supply for 1896
OF about 190000OOO bushels. In Russia alone
the deficiency is estimated to be nearly
100000 bushels, and there are short crops
in the Argentine Republic and other South
American countries; also in Australia. All
Of these countries compete with this
country in selling wheat in the markets of
the world.
1t is reported that in some parts of the
East Indies, almost a famine is threaten
ed, because the outlook for both rice and
wheat is not promising. Wheat therefore
is being shipped from this country to Bonn
bay and Calcutta. When the fact is taxi
en- into consideration that for a number of
years a great deal of wheat has been ship
ped from India to Europe, and that now
India is a buyer Of wheat, and that there
is a very great deficiency in the wheat oat-
put in other wheat exporting countries.
it can be readily understood why there
has been such a great advance in the
price of wheat, and why the price is like
~ to go considerably higher
The real reason why the price of wheat
fell so low before the recent rise, was that
the production of wheat was greater thaa
was needed to meet the worlds demands.
Within the last few years the area culrl-
waited in wheat in this country, also in
Russia, Australia and. the Argentine Re-
public, has been greatly increased. The
lessened cost of production, owing to the
Improvements in machinery for cultivat-
ing, harvesting and preparing the crop for
market, have been so great that the pro-
duction of wheat has increased beyond
the actual need for it. Intelligent wheat
farmers know that they have overproduc-
ed, and attribute the low price to the true
cause.

The Importance of Care.

Here, says Harpers Round Table, are
three stories, all vouched for as true,
which emphasize the importance of care
in writing;
A Cincinnati grocer's house found that
cranberries had risen to Sc per bushel.
The purchasing clerk Immediately sent
this note by the firms teamster, zone

made its appearance next day loaded
down with eighty bushels. The remaining
twenty bushels were to follow the next
day, and when the correspondent found
out his mistake he angrily demanded why
the order did not read by Simmons?
An English gentleman, in writing to a
Lincolnshire friend, mentioned the latter's
kindness to him, and said he should soon

A Nervous Wreck.

He showed the door Of the real-estate Of
fee open so hard that it slammed against
the wall and walked quickly to the man
in charge, relates the Detroit Free Press.
My wife rented a house of you last
week, ." ne said. My name is jenkins"
'Ah, yes, Mr.. Jenkins, 1 remember That
is one of the finest houses we have on
our list. You were lucky to get it. We
had great many inquiries about it,
somebody else wanted to rent it?"
Yes. There was man here this morn
ing who was extremely disappointed be-
cause he did not get it,
Sit right down and write him postal
card telling him to come after it. 1 want
you to move me somewhere else"
Don't you like the neighborhood%
Its a splendid neighborhood, so far
as the appearances go,and l have no doubt
that the people are as agreeable as any
to be found in the city"
''The house is in splendid repair"
''First-class."
Yes
1T is very conveniently located, too"
well, will you tell me what on earth
you are going to move away for when
1t pleases you in so many particulars?'
Did You ever notice the number of that
house,"
Yes. It's 1921 There's nothing wrong
with that number"
That's what l thought The first time
/ went up the front stoop | looked that
number in the face with serene confidence.
1t was almost a week before it struck
me that there was anything unusual about
1t. Then the nightmare burst upon my
senses. And now 1 have to walk up and
down the block two or three times before
l can get up enough moral courage to
bully myself through the front door"
Maybe your nerves are unstrung." the
real estate man said deprecatingly May

III confess to being nervous. But 1 don't

away from the turmoils of the political
campaign, because 1 know that excitement
IS not good for me. I've been besieged by
my friends to take part in arguments on
the free coinage question, and I've devoted
so much time to lodging a single phrase
that l reckon that I've come to be some
thing of a fanatic on the subject But it's
worse than Banquos ghost 1 thought
that in the privacy of my own home, where
a mans feelings are respected if they are
anywhere on earth, could get away from
1t. But last night, as / started to get my
key, those figures caught my eye. There
was something about them that fascinated
my gaze. Then | saw them slowly sepa-
rate in a way that showed where the hor-
ror was. If you have any haunted houses

The Cnban Situation.

There appears to be quite general i'm
preston in this country and Europe that
Spain viii fail in her efforts to re-establish
her authority in Cuba The London Stand
ard a few days ago expressed the opinion
that she would unless She could obtain the
assistance of a powerful ally There is
no prospect that She will obtain such as
sistance. Her chief difficulty now is to
obtain money with which to carry on the
war. Her credit is pretty nearly exhaust
ed. With the prospect of losing the reve-
nue. from Cuba and with a largely in
creased debt nobody wants to lend her
money.
The Herald has taken up the idea that
the United States should interfere at once
and endeavor to bring the struggle in
cuba to a close I'm the interest of human
ity, and it declares it has discovered that
the President has about made up his
mind TO feel the pulses Of the South Amer
lean republics and also the governments
Of Europe in respect to the matter.
It is Impossible to say how much author
ity the Herald has for what it says about
the Cuban situation, but there is nothing
on tire surface that indicates that the
President has decided to change his pol
icy of non-interference. Indeed, the Her
aid itself throws doubt upon the view that
the President is more anxious about tine
Cuban situation than he has heretofore
been by declaring that "the President de-
sires to have the Venezuelan matter off his
hands before taking up the subject of
Cuba"
If the President intends to have a set
Element Of the Venezuelan dispute before
he considers the advisabitty of interfering
in behalf of Cuba, it can be stated with a
great degree of certainty that Cuba will
receive no special attention at his hands,
unless events 50 shape themselves within
the next few months that it becomes nee
essary for him to change his Cuban poll
cy. There is no robability that the Ven
ezuelan dispute will be settled before the
end of his term of office. There is going
TO be a vast amount of diplomatic talk be-
fore there is an agreement in respect Ito
that dispute. AS far as we can see, there
fore, there is no particular reason for the
extraordinary effort the Herald is making
to create the impression that a movement
of some sort is on foot for Cuba's benefit

James Creelman, who has made quite
a reputation as a. correspondent in a dis
patch from Canton. o.. McKinley's home,
published in Sundays New York World,
says:
Maj Mckinley repeated to-day his dec
laration in favor of a re-enactment of the
trust-promoting Mckinley law of 1890 My
Investigations in the various states con-
vince me that il this campaign had been
fought on this issue, he would have been
beaten"
He may be beaten on the issue on which
the campaign is being fought but admit
ting that he will be elected we are salts
fed that we shall not have again soon, if
ever, a tariff like that which is known as
the Mckinley tariff, and we do not think
that Mr.. Mckinley is at all confident that
the country desires any such tariff. We
have no doubt that Mr.. Mckinley believes
in that tariff, and that if he should be
elected President he would recommend its
re-enactment, Notwithstanding the fact
that not very long after its adoption the
country voted against it by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Because he had so much
to do with the making of 1t he cannot see
any faults in 1T. There is hardly room for
doubt that he is satisfied that that tariff
is the only thing necessary ITO make the
country prosperous and the people con-
tented No amount of argument could con-
vince him that while it was in force 1t did
the country a vast amount of injury, and
that if it had been continued in force the
revenues would be much less than they
are now. 1t cannot be successfully dis
puted however, that there was a steady
falling off in the revenues while
it was in operation. 1t encour-
aged a competition among certain
classes of manufacturers that caused over
production, and over production forced the
forming of trusts to keep up prices. 1t is a
notorious fact that there were many
strikes and lock-outs under that
tariff. 1t was trust-promoting
tariff, because it became neces-
sary, owing to the competition it encourag-
ed to make combinations to keep up prices
There is no probability of another Nc
Kinley tariff. even If Mr.. Mckinley should
be elected and reelected. There may be,
and doubtless will be. changes made in the
present tariff whether Mr.. Mckinley is
elected or not, because 1t is necessary to
have more revenue, but the changes will
not be in the direction of prohibitive pro-
lection The people will never consent
to a tariff that enables manufacturers to
form trusts and compel them to pay from
50 TO 100 per cent. more for articles than
are paid for the same articles by the peo-
pie of other countries.
Whatever changes are made in the tariff
will be for the purpose of increasing the
revenue. The overwhelming senti-
ment against his tariff of 1890
ought to have convinced Mr..
Mckinley of the hopelessness of ever
having that kind OF a tariff again adopted
His tariff talk, no doubt, pleases some man.
ufacturers and there may be factory OPP
eratlves who are misled by 1t, but the
great majority of the people understand it
too well to ever want to try 1t again.

this year. He lives in New York, but has
not taken the trouble to go there to reg.

quietly bolted the boilers, and he has left
them when the fight was the thickest and
their need the sorest. We do not wonder

to some of the republican newspapers,

growled over the article. At best it was
only the expression Of the opinion of a
newspaper as 10 what would be the con-
