THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
is O SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is n SEVENTY-FlVED DOLLAR OR
GAN. and the third is FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon Will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the second largest list, new and
old and the Organ will go to the clubmaker
whose total list shall show up the largest
number of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, in that the winner of this
premium will still have the right to count his
entire club, including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit. 1t Is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy.
II is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than 20 names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

TWAS A C1NCH BET.-They laugh
ed right merrily at him.
"And so," they said, "she promised
to be your wife if Bryan was elected ?'
The news of the bet had just come
to them.
"It is true" he replied.
"Poor fool !" they continued. "She
was just having fun with you"
"Perhaps," he answered; "but you
haven't noticed me weeping any vely
bitter tears, have you? I'm satisfied"
"You didn't want her, then ?"
"Well, Pm satisfied that she should
win the bet."
"What does she win ?" they inquir-
ed.
"N1e," he answered, with considera-
BILE satisfaction. 81 was to be her hus-
band if Mckinley won, and she was
to be my wife if Bryan proved victori-
Gus. Perhaps some of you gentlemen
can give me lessons in the art of bet
ting, but don't believe it."
And there was general disposition
to agree with him.

come to release me before the up train
should be due.
They had fastened me to the tree so
as to get fully away before could
give any alarm.
This is the only way that can ac-
count for the facts. And though I
certainly don't owe the rascals any
thing for what they did to me, I never
think of the affair without feeling
kind of gratitude toward them, and
thanking Heaven they were not as
black hearted rs I thought they were.

"Now KISS ME."-A funny incident
occurred in a neighboring city, says an
exchange, few day since, and one too
good to be lost. One of our celebrated
composers has written a song enti-
tied, "Kiss Me-" A very pretty, blush
ing maid, having heard of the song,
and thinking she would get it with
some others, stepped into music store
to make purchase. One of the clerks,
a modest man, stepped up to wait on
her. The young lady threw back her
veil, saying:
IT want Rock Me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song and put it be-
fore her.
"Now," said the young lady, 81
want The Wandering Refugee
"Yes,.ma'am, "said the clerk, bowling,
and in few minutes he produced the
"Refugee."
"Now, Kiss Me-" said the young
lady, of course meaning the song above
mentioned.
The poor clerks eyes popped fire al
most, as he looked at the young lady
in utter astonishment, for he was not
aware that song by that name had
been published.
"Wh-what did you say, miss ?"
"Kiss me-" said she.
~ can't do it; never kissed young
lady in my life," said the clerk,
And about that time veil dropped,
a young lady left in hurry, clerk felt
sick, and dealer lost sale of his music.

rLan dsncing. After he first rush II was
discovered that the professor and his
second violin and bass viol player had
escaped. Billy showed out the clarinet
player whom he found IN the halfway,
and sent his instrument after him. Then
there was left only the cornet player,
Jacob Baron. lie was found much the
worse for the scrimmage, lying on the
floor.
He accused Paul OF trying to force the
cornet down his throat, standing him
on his head. aud of subjecting him TO
other indjgnities. Paul, still white with
anger, faced him and the crowd backed
Paul up.
"Make him blue eye," said one OF
the crowd.
As il by magic there was another con-
certed rush, and the next moment Baron
found himself on the sidewalk with the
left side of his face around his eye SWELL
ing up bigger than is necessary even In
his trace. Baron yelled "Police."
When cornet player yells in the dead OF
night he Is likely TO be heard even by
policeman, snd Policeman Meenan OF the
Madison street station, who was three
blocks away, thought IL was riot. he
raced down to the hall and Baron, show
ing his decorated eye, explained as well
as he could what mad occurred.

elected the volunteer orchestra took places

they tried TO take up the strain OF the
Strauss waltz where Professor Craskin's s
band had left off and the dancers made
the floor sag once more. The entrance OF
Meenan with the injured cornet player
stopped the festivities again.
Billy O'Grady and his girl stepped out
as the policeman walked through the
crowd, and Paul was not TO be found,
either. The policeman and his complain
ant wandered out into the night and hap
pened to run across Paul in the street.
He was locked up in prison cell on his
sisters wedding night, and he began to
think that the bargain he had made with
Professor Craskin was no bargain after all.
When the case came up before Magis-
trate Deuel. In the Essex Market Court 1t
was discovered that Aaron had grown an
other black eye during the night. Paul
declared that ne was not guilty. He ex-
planned that the band had refused to play
on, and had thus melted the wedding
guests to riot. Baron had nobody to corro-
borate his statement that Paul was the
man who had struck him, and Magistrate
Deuel. paroled Paul for examination, while
he gave Baron the herculean task OF try
ing to find witness.
