ENTERPRIsE.-A few months aaP a
colossal cheap clothing shop in a York
shire town had the misfortune to catch
fire. The alarm was quickly given,
and an enormous crowd collected,
who watched with bated breath the
arduous efforts Of the brigade to over
come the flames.
After hours of the most strenuous
efforts they managed at last to force
the flames gradually back from the
front of the building, when the mana
ger of the firm was seen to rush into
the doorway, Chamber excitedly over
beam and joist, and make his way to.
wards the second floor window.
Whatever could be his object ?
What valuable property could it be
for which he was thus risking his life ?
Coolly fixing a hastily written pla-
card on to the window-sill, he Chamber
ed down again, while the bewildered
public read the bold announcement:
"Surely we sold cheap enough be-
fore this fire! But only wait till it's
over! Lookout for bargains then ~

"WHo COULD MOVE IT?"-The
good people of the town of E. were
talking of moving their Westinghouse
to a more agreeable locality. Among
the advocates for the movement none
were more earnest than old Deacon A,
who, by the way, has an uncontrolla.
BILE habit of sleeping in church. No
matter how interesting the discourse,
the old deacon was sure to drop off
about such a time. On the Sabbath
preceding the day appointed for NOV
ing the house, the pastor preached an
interesting sermon on "The Rock of
Ages" Growing eloquent in his re-
marks, the minister finally added, with
great emphasis, "Who can move it ?"
The deacon, having been asleep as
usual, woke up just in time to catch
the query, and thinking the pastor re-
ferred to the Westinghouse, rose up
in his seat and exclaimed, "I'll bring
over my yoke of steers, and they'll
jerk it along the whole distance, if
you'll keep plenty of hard wood rollers
under it," The deacon never slept in
meeting after that.

Pleasant Work, Good
and Certain Pay
IN UNUSUALLY VALUABLE PREMIUMS.
Two High Grade Bugges and Monarch Bicycle the
Leaders and Every Worker Winner
COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
% MARCH, 1t is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, It is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILIE ENQUIRER should also be
one OF the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families in the county desire It as a regu-
lar visitor to theiH homes, and all those who
can afford it, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks. probably, is the inconven;
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. It Is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of large number Of intel.
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to cubmaker
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs.
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENfY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay US. Now to our
PROPOSITIONS:

COLI,AR BUTTONS FOR INSOMNIA.

A Topeka man was recently troubled
with insomnia. He thought that some
Young medical student would be glad
to take his case for the practice there
was in it and small fee, if any. He
sought out a medical student who
seemed to have the proper appearance
and laid his case before him.
81 think this prescription will be
lust what you need" said the coming
practitioner. "Three to a dose."
"Pills ?" queried the invalid.
ayes, but just the kind you need"
"How often shall take them ?"
"When you feel as if you needed
them"
The patient took the prescription to
a nearby drugstore and had it filled.
The pills were placed in small box
and wrapped up. The man took them
home and absentmindedly tossed them
to top of the bureau. He went to bed
that night forgetting all about his all
ments and the pills. He was unable
to sleep and thought that perhaps the
pills would bring Morpheus to his res.
cue. He got up in the dark, CROPPED
around for the box, found it, unwrapp-
ed it and was surprised to find but
three pills. He took them and return
ed to bed and was asleep in a few
minutes.
He met the young student on the
street the next day and told him of the
wonderful effect that his remedy had
produced. The young hopeful was
quite elated over his success. The
man returned home that night. Dur
ing the evenings conversation his wife
asked him if he had seen anything of
a box of collar buttons that she had
purchased the day before. II put
them on top of the bureau" she said,
"but the box has been opened and they
are gone."-Topeka State Journal.

WoBBLED WHEN HE CAME TO
'PossUM.-"Ole Uncle" Claybrook is q
very religious old darkey, and holds
converse with his Maker 20 times q
day or oftener. His habit is to pray,
and then turn off into what appears to
be one-sided conversation with the
Lord, but it is evident that there is
another party to it as far as he is con-
cerned. To hear him reminds one
very much of telephone converse

The other day he was going through
his customary devotions, and when he
got to the point of expressing thank
fulness for the many blessings of life,
he broke off into recounting of them,

Making Its Enforcement Punish
able by Imprisonment.

Washington, June 26.-The senate has
completed the wool schedule the silk
schedule and the tobacco schedule Of
the tariff bill. and with this accomplish
ed the tariff leaders had the satisfaction
of knowing that all the schedules of the
bill and the free list had been gone over
once. There now remains only to go
through the bill a second time pass
ing on the items passed over. These
are very numerous and important, in
Guiding hides, gloves, coal, tea and beer.
After that the internal revenue fea-
lures of the bill will be all that remains
Progress has been rapid, although every
paragraph relating to carpets was stub
bornly contested. The consideration Of
the silk schedule led to a strong con-
test against the proposed duties on silk
fabrics, Senators Teller and Mantle
joining with the Democrats in opposi-
tion.
The paragraph was passed by the
slender majority OF 2. The tobacco
schedule went through with little fric-
tion after the committee had advanced
the duty slightly on wrapper and leaf
tobacco.
Senator Chelton gave notice Of an
amendment he will offer TO the tariff
bin prohibiting interstate commerce In
articles manufactured by trusts, max
ing the offense punishable by three
years imprisonment.
The senate in executive session con-
frmed the following nominations:
Albert c. Thompson of Ohio, Alexan-
der c. Botkn OF Montana and David y,
Culberson of Texas to be the commits
sioners to revise and codify the erimi-
nal and penal laws OF the states. as
