been rated TWO years ago by Dun with
a credit at from $4,000 to $4,000
The failure which forced Mr.. Agnew to
resort TO classification of the bank accounts

due largely to the freeze which killed
the orange trees in 1894. Mr.. AgneW was
largely interested in orange grove prop
erty.

son. Each one of the trio seemed to be

One member of the house is in regular
stew just now. To reporte he tells this
story of himself:
81 was slightly surprised a few days
ago to receive letter from constituent,
as follows:
Dear Judge: Tim Dooley says that
the government gives away fish to those
who apply. I don't know if this is so or
not, but if so l wish you would send me
some. The only kind we get here are in
half-pound packages, called homeless cod
and they are no account, and then they
make you thirsty. If they give away the
fish hooks l wish you would send me
some, for the major, Ransom Brown,
Judge Kaufman and L have planned to
go fishing as soon as the weather opens
up. You know they all worked well for
you the last time
For the sake of the joke I dropped
into sporting goods store and bought a
tin box of hooks for $3.50 and sent it to
my friend, with note saying l was very
glad that had some fish hooks still left
from my quota, though there had been a
great demand for them and the horse
book. The supply of fish had run out
and the president had been SO occupied
with bonds and had congress on his
hands so long that our supply was ex-
hausted I regretted also that the ducks
have been wild, or could maybe have
gotten some, but the last trip Grover
only got thirteen, and he needed most of
those himself.
1.-THE result was fourteen requests for
fish hooks within a week, and they are
still coming. 1t is no use to say that I'm
Gle Sam does not handle fish hooks, as
here are the hooks and there is my letter,
and if don't send them every last man
that refuse will sharpen knife for me
next campaign, and if I do I will go
broke. Don't fool with the granger"
