From Harper'S Round Table.
An English journalist travelling through
the United States relates q humorous in
cident in his experience out West. He was
journeying overland on horseback, and one
day. after long spell Of desolate travel,
he espied house on the prairie. He rode
up to the doorway and accosted he only
person around, long gentleman in boots,
these boots seemingly trying to reach the
sky. they were perched so high above the
owners head. They came slowly down at
the salutation.
"Howdy do. stranger? Glad ter see yer.
This is Boonville," and with a sweeping
gesture he compassed q landscape of grass
and wooden stakes. There's Broadway
runnin' down tween them stakes. and
there's Chicago avenue, st. Louis avenue,
st. Paul avenue and all them are streets
staked off'n it. On the lookout for build
in site?"
NO" replied the journalist: I'm just
travelling for pleasure. not for investment"
That's my luck. stranger. Here's this
town been er runnin' full blast with all
the offices filled, and can't get a citizen"
where's the mayor?'
"Im the mayor
"Where are the police, Judges. and that
sort of thing"
I'm all that. Yer see. stranger. I'm ev-
erything. 1 elects myself to all offices; but
it's mighty poor payin' ones I'm er-hold-
In"
How do you manage to get along,
them
Don't. stranger; that's the puzzle Yer
see. there's only 50 cents in the town treas
ury, and I've been payin' my rent and
taxes with it. and collecting my salary as
mayor and my other Offices from 1t SO long
and it's beenhandled so much that the town
books won't balance any more. Yer see.
can't find any thing to balance the books
with fer the wear of the silver Off that
coin. and I'm out that much. Now, strang-
er, If yer not goin' ter invest. and want
ter boom the town er little. yer might make
up that deficit in the treasury. SOS 1 kin

Our Dollar Is Not Too Good.

From the Chicago Times-Herald
1t is incredible that the intelligent labor
ing men of this country can be persuaded
by Mr.. Bryan into believing that the dol
lar We now have Is too good" It is in
credible that a sane man should base his
appeal to wage workers to vote to change
our currency system on the contention
that tho dollar now paid to labor "buys
too much.'
And yet the dear dollar" is the burden
OF Mr.. Bryans complaint in all his speech
es. Are there any wage-earners in Chicago
who are complaining because of the in
creased purchasing power of a dollar ?
Does any laborer lie awake nights worry
Ing over the nervous apprehension that
when he gets up in the morning his dollar

A Story About the Bi.marck Letter.

From the New York Tribune.
The Galveston News gives history of
the Culberson letter to the effect that Mr..
Culberson wrote to Prince Bismarck and
put 2-cent stamp on the letter. The
prince would not take 1t out of the post
office and it was sent back marked IRE
fused" Then Mr.. Culberson put a scent
stamp on the letter and received a reply.
The person who tells the story draws this
moral from 1t: Mr.. Culberson, free
silver man. writes letter to German BIZ
metallist and puts half the required amount
OF postage on the envelope. The letter is
refused because there is not enough post
age on it. Yet. in the face of this, Mr..
Culberson and his friends expect to make a
dollar OUT of SO cents worth of silver, and
expect the people of foreign nations to take
1t. See the point?'
