His Family Was There,

just across the way from the depot
was the town graveyard, and sitting on
O baggage truck on the platform was q
ragged, lonesome looking man, whom
any one would have spotted at once for
q tramp. There We're a dozen of Us
walking up and down as we waited for
the train, but for a quarter of an hour
the tramp sat with his head in his
hands and had nothing to say to any
IDENTIFY on good terms with himself,
walked up to the man and said:
dead broke, Of course, old MANI"
"Yes, dead broke" replied the man
Oh the truck as he looked up.
"Haven't had anything to eat in two
or three days, eh?'
"Not since yesterday morning."
"Willing to work, but your health
won't permit, I take it, as is the case
with all the rest of emp
my health amt overly good,' re-
piled the tramp after a bit.
"No, of course not!' laughed the
man. "Perhaps you are also worrying
about your family? Don't you want to
raise a dollar to get home in time to see
your wife die?"
Come along, you-come along,
gents, said the tramp as he rose up
and climbed the back of the graveyard
fence.
Half a dozen of us followed him, and
as we reached the fence and looked over
he pointed to three graves which were
80 new that the grass had not yet taken
root and said:
"There's the family-wife and two
children. A week ago l was 100 miles
away, but I got to thinking about these
graves, and l couldn't stay away. This
morning I finished my walk, and I was
waiting fer the train to go before
came up here. Yes, I'm dead broke and
hungry, and in poor health, and a tramp,
and there's the reason Of it. When they
died, it broke me up"
One by Il we went back to the plat.
form. The tramp came last of all, and
he was going away without looking at

put the money we had raised in his
hand, added a So bill from his own
pocket and kindly said:

He Played Another Game.

car to ourselves. After a few minutes,
however, ayoung man got on at a small
station. He was a native, but he didn't
seem to be overnight, and not at all
dangerous. He watched the cards with
much interest for two Or three games,
and one of the men finally observed:
stranger, do you play this game?"
"No, I don't" he. drawled. "What
do you call it,"
"This is called four handed euchre. -
Yes"
Lots Of fun III it, and you ought to
learn to play. It's good to take hayseed
out of the hair"
The young man removed his hat and
ran his fingers through his hair, as if
expecting to comb out a lot of hayseed,
and it was three or four minutes before
he said:

"'Pears like it, but I've got one to

"Have your What do you call It'll"
II call it a one handed hold up, and
here's lookin at you'll"
He was not only looking at US, but
his two guns were doing the same
thing, and the man looked bright
enough and carried a smile at the cor.
ners of his mouth.
"Yes, your game beats this, said the

This Morning.
Story of Foreign Competition
in Sugar Not Credited.
The Bullish Feeling in Wheat Still
Continues Strong.

1t will not be surprising IL the stock
is to be made against Sugar. The bears
attach considerable importance to the re-
port that the large rehners OF Germany,
France, Russia and England will carry
through the plan of consolidation and
will export all surplus refined grades to
tion with the products OF the American
Sugar Co. This dairy story that is being
circulated may temporarily put Sugar
lower, but the stock In common with
grangers, Manhattan Elevated, Ieathe
Preferred and Chicago Gas may s. fell be
bought on any quick dips. ~.
In the low priced stocks Erie Preferred
and Atchison preferred will have sharp
advance presently.
Although wheat is near 20 there Is CON-
paratively little abatement in the pro-
nouncedly bullish feeling, and predic-
tions are plentiful that Decetm ber wheat
will sell ut 75. Europe needs our surplus
grain, owing to the scarcity OF the
foreign crops, besides the national condi-
tions favor light prices.
joseph says: "Hold the local stocks.
The Morgans believe Reading will sell
about 25. This will give you some idea
as to value OF Reading. II Chicago Gas

vantage of slight recessions to buy
