thirteen trumps. Such a hand Is ex-
ceedingly rare. AS for the chances OF
holding thirteen-trump hand. they are
figured to be 160 900, ,O0O, 900 to l.
At the Union club of Bologne some
years ago the dealer dealt the twenty
six red cards to himself and partner
and all the black cards to their oppo-'
nents. When we come to realize that
the odds against such a round of hands,
are 5000, 100000 to I, we must admit
that this was very remarkable deal.
Louis Philippe, while playing whist
one evening, dropped a louis and
stopped the game to look for it, where
upon foreign ambassador, one of the
party, set fire to billet of 1000 francs
to give light to the king for his search
under the table. The ambassador evi-
IDENTIFY had money to burn.
Colley Cibber was once playing oppo-
site an old gentleman who became very
irritable when his partner, who was no
very good player, made a misplay. On
one Of those occasions Colley remarked,
calmly: Don't be angry, general. for
damme, | can play ten times worse If
like"

WANTED HIS WIFE.
Inebriated Travelling Man Plays a Quese
Prank.

A man, well dressed and prosperous
his face, rolled into the telegraph Office
at the union depot yesterday, reached
several times for a pad of telegraph
blanks before he got it and then wrote
a message and handed it to Manager
John P. Altberger, says the Kansas
City Star.
What do you call this?" asked Alt
berger, after he had wasted some time
in trying to read 1t.
"'S' message" replied the man.
Its 80 jerky that / cant read 1t.
What does it say?" asked Altberger
again.
50 message my wife. I'm drunk,
don't you see?" said the man.
"Yes. see you're drunk" replied
Altberger.
That's wha's the matter I'm drunk
an want my wife,"
After awhile Manager Altberger
made out that the message was directed
to a woman in Chicago. Il read:
Am in Kansas City drunk. Need
you Immediately. Come on first train"
The message was signed by the mans
name in full. The inebriate grew con-
fidential and told Manager Altberger
that he was a travelling man who had
taken cure a year and half ago and
had not taken a drink since then until
he arrived in Kansas City last week
and fell in with some boon companions
of olden days and they led him astray
He said he hadn't the moral courage to
sober up and wanted his wife to come
and take him home. Manager Alt
berger sent the telegram and in short
time received this reply.
''Will leave on the o'clock train. Be
there in the morning"

Story on Justice Gray.

The Washington Times tells the fol-
lowing story on Justice Gray of the
United States supreme court. He had
gone down into Delaware to hold court
and was met by deputy marshal. The
fees are not large down in that section
and the deputy niarshals are not the
richest men around. So this deputy
met the justice and was ready to walk
over into town.
Where is your carriage?" asked JUS
tice Gray. We'll, Mr.. Justice. you see
our fees are small, and If hired a car
riage would have nothing left" You
get the carriage" said the justice:
there is an account to which it can be
charged. Write to the marshal in Bal
timore and he'll tell you what to do"
So Justice Gray rode over to the town
and the deputy marshal wrote to his
superior. Shortly after the return of
Justice Gray he received letter from
the deputy marshal. saying the carriage
bill was all right. THE marshall tells
me-" he wrote, ito charge 1t up to the
account of prisoners"

Three of the largest olive orchards
in the world are being planted in south
ern California this season. The largest
is that of Andrew McNally, of the pub
fishing firm of Rand e McNally, of
Chicago. He has men at work laying
opt 4O0-acre olive grove near Fuller
ton, in Orange county. He will plant
10000 olive trees. In the vicinity of
Cotton, Barnet Stevenson, cousin of
Vice-President Stevenson, owns, with
Mrs. A. e. Stevenson. several hundred
acres of land. An olive grove of $40
acres is being prepared there. Some 34.-
900 trees have been bought in Pomona
for the Stevenson grove. ID. E. Emery.
recently of Oakland. is having 240 acres
of olives planted near Whittier. Never
has there been such extensive planting
of olive groves, both big and little. in
Southern California, as this season.
Pomona Valley nurseries have sold al
ready 100000 olive trees, and the sea-
son is only half over.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

tions confront us in 1896. That is, they
will do that which is best for the peo-
PIES party, and not for either of the
old parties. Whether the silver organi-
zations throughout the United States
meet with us at st. Louis or not, will
not in the slightest degree deter us from
pursuing the same course as though
they had not called convention for the
same date and place as ours. Nor will
the peoples party ever surrender the
principle that the government alone
has right to issue the money, whether
it is gold, silver or paper, and that all
money must be full legal tender and
not redeemable in coin. Let the popu-
lists throughout the United States elect
good, honest, truce, cool and deliberate
men as delegates to the national con-
vention. and We need not have the
slightest fear as to the results.
The peoples party. at its national
convention. will take care of itself,
regardless of what the democrats may
do at Chicago. l have no time to enter
into a controversy with any member
of our party: no good can result from
this. Dissension in our ranks Is the
last argument to win recruits. / am
anxious that our national convention
shall be success in uniting all the ell
ements opposed 70 present conditions.
We need every voter who Is dissatis-
fled with the old parties. l repeat
again that so far as the national COM
mittee is concerned, this report from
Indianapolis is a deliberate falsehood,
manufactured for the purpose of Gre
atins dissension in our ranks. And If
1t does create any dissension, the pop
ulists will be responsible for it. We
ought not to let these reports interfere
with what is our duty toward our
country. Nothing would suit the re-
publicans and democrats so well as dis
sension in our ranks; especially now
when they know we will receive a
large following from their ranks in the
south and west. Yours for our cause,

In 1860 we had population of 81

amount Of 1898 per capita, while in
1890 we had 62,622,250 of population,
and only $99s per capita of wealth.
What is the reason that there has been
only an increase per capita in Ss years
Of S.? Our population now is more

Is not due to the contraction of the cur.

The national banking system must
go. John c. Calhoun said: The bank
