One of the closest bargains or. record
is thus described by a Phillips (Me.)
man. He says the trade involved pair
of steers with sled, a horse and sled,
and side of beef. Finally he offered
to the other man big cut of the beef
TO bind the bargain, and he supposed it
would be speedily settled, until his
friend commenced to hesitate and look
the beef over critically. Finally he
said: Meow, William, if you'll make it

THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.


There is popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult TO find hs the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay. Facts, how
ever, says Tit-Bits, do not substantiate
this theory any more than they do the
large majority of popular impressions.
A great sensation was created two
or three years ago by the finding of
seven Russian exiles or prisoners who
had made their escape from Siberia.
They were in an open boat in the Pa
cific and were taken to San Francisco,
where they became the objects of popu-
lar commiseration, as we'll as the text
for the denouncing of the Russian
methods of dealing with political Of
tenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. 1t now appears that,
during the interval of time that has
elapsed between their arrival in San
Francisco and now, they have every one
been punished by the law of the land,
The last of the party has just been
sentenced to 90 years imprisonment
for burglary, while one of his CON-
rades only a short time back was
hanged for two murders which he had
committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent to Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
fellow men, if not absolute deportation
from the country, in any other part OF
the world.

GIVES FICTITIOUS ORDERS.
Portland Boy Gives N Lot OF GrOcers
Much Trouble.

Portland Boy Gives n Lot Oh dSrOcerh
Much Trouble.
A 16-year-old boy has been giving nu-
1nerous grocers of Portland, Ore, a
whole lot of trouble. The boy dropped
into the grocery Store of William
Rhodes on Grand avenue, near East
Pine, and gave a large order. He or
dered a bushel of potatoes, a sack of
flour, sugar and several other articles,
in ali making quite a load for the de-
livery wagon. He told Mr.. Rhodes to
deliver the load to Mr.. Thompson's
house in East Twenty-seventh street,
giving a number. The boy saw pie on
the counter and remarked:
I'll take this pie along with me and
you can collect for the whole bill at
the house. Be sure and bring along.
change enough to break a twenty, and
get around by ten in the morning, or the
boss may be gone"
The boy took the pie and went off.
Mr.. Rhodes loaded up the stuff and then
spent several hours looking for ''Mr.
Thompson" He finally gave the search
up in disgust and started back, when
he met Mr.. Berger's wagon going out
in the same direction he had just come
from. Mr.. Rhodes asked the driver if
he knew where Mr.. Thompson lived and
was surprised to learn the Berger wagon
was going to the same place. They COM
pared notes and found the boy had
made about the same order at both
stores, taking some articles with him.
His sole object was to bunco the gro
GERS, and he accomplished his purpose.
Several other grocers also were taken
in by the youth. Mr.. Rhodes said he
knows the boy and will look out for
him hereafter.

Since Thomas Caywood, of New

hiccoughs which lasted 20 days and was
finally stopped by his eating ice cream,
his family has been deluged with let

many times, but the fright must be

Just now it is said that the Prince
of Wales was made aware that the
Jameson raid was to take place and
that the mysterious dispatches alluded
to before the Parliamentary investigat
ing committee were sent to him and for
that reason no effort is being made to
secure them in the evidence. But the
whole matter has arrived at such a
stage that Parliamentary inquiries are
not needed either to convince or dis
abuse the minds of the public. The
Jameson raid, in the nature of reason
able things, was never undertaken
without good assurance, that If sue
