LOVED SLEEP TOO WELL.
That Was What Prevented tho States
mans Success in Politics.

That Was What Prevented tho States
mans Success in Politics.
Last evening people passing S. Barn
um's store, on the west side of Kansas
avenue, noticed a large man sleeping
soundly in large covered spring
wagon near the street curb, says the
Topeka Journal. He was stretched
across the seat, and. while his position
was not comfortable one, the man did
not care. His broad chest rose and fell
at regular periods, which indicated deep
slumber. Occasionally a whirriRg
noise like the suppressed grunt of pig
escaped the sleeper. 1t was snore, but
not the misunderstanding kind. A close
inspection would have revealed the
chubby face of a man we'll advanced in
years, his cheeks covered with thick
growth of short gray hair and his head
with an old SLOUGH hat. Then the OBJ
server would have been startled to find
strong resemblance to a man who was
well known in public life in Kansas
not long ago. The man looked like ex-
Congressman Ben Clover, and in truth
it was he.
Ex-Cangressman Glover now drives
the reform school wagon, and may be
seen on the streets of Topeka every day.
He was given the place as a reward for
political services rendered in the last
campaign. He doesn't know anything
about training boys, but Governor Nor
rllis business administration gave him
job. When Mr. Glover was in con-
gress he contracted the sleeping habit,
and it made him famous. When an
important measure was being consid-
cred he was wont to steal out in the
ante-room and stretch his portly form
on the luxurious cushions of govern
ment sofa, and while his colleagues
wrested with some intricate question
affecting their constituency, Congress-
man Glover of Kansas slept, and, it is
said, snored; not softly nor gently, but
loud enough to be heard in the legis-
lative hall. Then Mr.. Clover's con-
stituency got angry and elected some
one else, and since then he has been
compelled to take his maps in less con-
venient places. Other people have con-
tracted habits in congress- but it re-
manned for Congressman Glover to
make a departure and become, like
Dickens fat boy. confirmed sleeper.

AS A SISTER.
Why One Man Thinks Gen. Harrison
viii Not Marry Mrs. Dimmick.

Why One Man Thinks Gen. Harrison
viii Not Marry Mrs. Dimmick.
A member of the church who was
long a member of the Bible class in
indianapolis of which ex-President
Harrison was a teacher, prior to
his going to Washington, gave the
other day what he regards as con-
elusive reasons why no engagement of
marriage exists between Mr.. Harrison
and Mrs. Dimmick. He says that the
ex-President is a thorough religionist
and a firm believer in the doctrine of
John Calvin as elucidated in the con-
fession of faith and that in the dis
cussion of subjects drawn out in the
bible class the ex-president was ex-
tremely orthodox on all questions re-
lating to marriage.
while Mrs. Dimmick," said the gen.
tleman, lis not related by the law of
consanguinity to Mr. Harrison, it is a
fact that her close relationship to Mrs.
Harrison and her frequent and pro-
tracted visits to the Harrison home
have caused the ex-president to look
upon her in the light of a sister and
indeed their relations have been prac-
tically those of brother and sister on
these visits. Viewing her in this light
/ do not believe it possible that Mr..
Harrison has ever considered any other
relation with her.''-Cincinnati En-
ouirer.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER

Furnished by Topeka Grain and Stock Ex-
change. 526 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat-The opening was strong on
outside buying, which forced May up to
6e15, but there it met heavy realizing by
long taking profits, and this started short
selling which was kept up all day.
The cold wave has not materialized as
severe as expected, but as it is not over
yet, and as the ground is generally very
dry, We may yet get some serious
damage to the unprotected plant. The
March freezing and thawing is yet to
come, and there is always more or lees
crop damage or crop scares during this
month.
We have been bullish on wheat for
several weeks and the market has
promptly indicated our judgment. We
believe May wheat will sell well up in
the 7Us by the latter part Of this month
and are advising clients to buy on all soft
spots.
Corn and oats quiet and without spe
cial feature. Receipts are rather heavy
and the visible supply increased million
and half bushels
Pork was strong throughout entire
session and prices were we'll maintained
The heavy run of hogs is said to be over.
