Heard from Afan


The wonders OF long-distance tele-
phones are most agreeably illustrated
by Two pretty stories told by the Ia
coma Ledger. The first has to do
with q Chicago man who had been
hunting In the Northern woods. and
happened into Merrill, Wisconsin, on
the very day that the long-distance tel.
ephone line opened an office in the
town. Hearing Of the innovation, he
decided al once 10 improve his oppor-
tuniiy.
He went into one OF the sound
proof" booths and had himself put in
communication with his family. AS
they had telephone in the house the
task was n small one. He chatted with
his wife, told her a fish story at which
she might smile without embarrassing
him, since he could not see the sign OF
incredulity, talked with his boy and
girl, and then called for "Gyp.'
'Gyp" was setter, q great family
pet, who had been left behind because
OF an accident which rendered him
lame. Gyp Was called to the telephone
and he stood on chair, his forefeet on
the back, and his mistress held the
trAnsmit,er 10 his ear.
Hello, Gyp.' called the master from
Merrill. And the dog in Chicago
prieked up his ears and whined. The
master whlstled cheerfully, and Gyp
banked directly into the receiver. He
knew his masters voice and the whis-
lie AS well, and the master cheered
him by ready laughter at the prompt
and eager reply.
II was worth the two or three dollars
that Il cost.
a lady living near indianapolis, who
had for more than q year been In deli.
cate health, was brought TO Chicago
early last winter. 10 receive sur
gical treatment In q hospital. 1t was
impossible 20 take her home for the
Christmas celebration, although she
had so far recovered that she could
walk readily all over the hospital.
She had three beautiful children al
home, and the father prepared Christ
mss tree, just as he had formerly done
only he added one new feature. ii,
had the electricians come In on the az
,ernoon before Christmas and put his
residence telephone into the tree
where II was concealed with pine
needles and tinsel.
He arranged with the long distanced
people, appraised his wife OF her par'
in the play, and at a certain moment
in the evening, when the children,
bubbling over with JOY at their pres
en,s. still felt a sadness at the absence
OF their mother, he clapped the re
ceIyer 10 the ear OF his youngest child
and the gentle voice Of mamma" came
over the wire.
II was their most precious Christ
mas present.

A DepraYed Mule.

A bright young Southern lady tells
this story: A young mule had been
shipped on freight train to farmer
In Fauquier county. A tag had been
tied securely around his neck with a
rope, with shipping directions thereon,
but in the course Of his journey the
mules hunger and natural deprayity
had tempted him to chew up both tag
and rope. This gave tho darby brake
man great concern. He hurried back
TO the caboose and saw the conductor.

colt? IL done eat up WHARF, gwine. ~

MARKET QUOTATIONS
REPORTS FROM ALL GREAT EUsi-
NESS CENTRES OF THE WORLD.
Prices OF Money, Bonds, Stocks
Grain. Tobacco, Cotton, Cattle
Country Produce, &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE dealings at
the Stock Exchange to-day were unusual
ly light, only $3.50 shares Of stocks, and
$4,000 railway and miscellaneous bonds
being dealt in. Stocks cpened rather
heavy, on offerings by professional ope-
rators who fear Cuban complications
and continuation Of the elilux of gold.
The uncertainty regarding the position
of Mckinley on the currency question
was also used against the market by
the bears. This subject, as a matter Of
fact. Is the one most discussed on the
Stock Exchange. and to-day brokers really
paid moro attention TO it than they did TO
their legitimate business. It was again
reported that the views OF Mckinley WIN
be given out shortly. but the rumor re-
ceived little credence.
notwithstanding the preponderance OF
bearish sentiment, the decline in prices,
except in rare Instances, was confined
10 the fractions. Manhattan suffered the
greatest loss, falling from l09 IL TO lVZ Ii
and lacking support throughout. Ihe
March quarterly statement Is still having
an adverse influence, and there Is more
or less talk about a reduction IN owl
dends Sugar was the most acuVe stock'
