The black leopard is admitted to be
the most savage and intractable of all
quadrupeds. The horrible black leop-
ard Death, in Eugene Sues "Wauder-
ing jew" who was followed about by
loathsome Englishman, anxious to see
him eat his tanner, is declared not to be
d scrap overdrawn. He hates thewhole
world and wants to fight it, to gnaw it,
to tear it to rags and splinters; and
he is staring, dancing mad because he
can't get at the world to do it. He lies
there, black and deadly, his yellow eyes
ahlaze, ready to pounce on you-if only
those bars suddenly melt away! But
they don't melt and you come no nearer.
Then he filings himself at the bars with
yell and flies up and down and over
and over about his cage like nothing
but Il black leopard with about 5000
seidlitz powders, swallowed separately
and suddenly efrervescing all together
inside him.

1T LOOKED WARllKE.
Spanish Minister Was Alarmed at n
Sensational Junlkct to- Havana.


Senator Calls proposition for a con-
gressional investigation of the circum-
stances surrounding the death of
Maceo reminded Senator Proctor of a
funny story, says the Washington Post
Some years ago when the questions
Of immigration and yellow fever and
cholera were being looked into u sub
committee of the senate was appointed,
consisting OF Senators Proctor, Chan
dler and Call, to visit Havana. 1t was
Just before the Christmas holidays, as
in this case. and Il visit to the Cuban port
in the winter season is not without its
attractions. The proposed trip, hdw-
ever, rather disturbed the Spanish min
ister. lie knew the belligerent pro-
pensties of Chandler and Call and he
FASTENED to the state department with
Il dispatch from Madrid, anxious to
learn whether the investigation was
proposed with peacea'le intent.
Secretary Foster listened to the cX-
cited minister with great suavity.
There is no occasion for ALARM" he
said, reassuringly you know that
the holiday recess is approaching and
these senators are simply arranging for
apleasure trip. l am sure there is moth
ing else in it,"
\ great light of intelligence broke
over the Spanish minister's face.
"Oh," he exclaimed, "a peel-neell, a
peekneel!"
And he went away much relieved

LlNCoLN's HAT A FOOTBALL.
After the Result of the Election Had
Been Announced.

After the Result of the Election Had
Been Announced.
The favorite hat worn by Abraham
Lincoln was tall "stovepipe." 1t has
been described as n foot high, with %
brim almost as wide as Il southern SOM
brero. Many anecdotes are connected
with that famous tall hat. In it Mr.. Lin
CGln carried many of his valuable pa
pcrs, the briefs of his law cases and
other documents. says the Youths Conn
pani0n.
On the night of Mr.. Lincoln's election
to the presidency several ladies who had
gathered at the old homestead at
Springfield testified their glee by using
the hat as football.
y few of us went to assist Mrs. Lin
coin about the supper which was TO be
given some gentlemen who had come
in to hear the returns. 1t was after mid
night before enough had been learned
to warrant the belief that our candidate
was elected. We went nearly wild with
JOY and congratulated Mr.. Lincoln most
heartily.
Some one saw the famous "stovepipe"
in the hall, and, seizing it, threw it up
to the ceiling. Another caught it, and
/ then it went the rounds till it fell on the
| floor, when one gave it kick and then
another and another gave it send Off
till it was so battered that it had lost
all resemblance to it's original shape.
Mr.. Lincoln looked on and smiled good
naturedly at the childish performance.

Good One on the cycIist.

A young American who was bicycling
in southern France was pushing his
wheel up steep mill, when he overlook
a peasant with donkey cart who was
rapidly becoming stalled, though the
little donkey was doing his best. The
benevolent wheelman, putting his left
hand against the back of the cart and
guiding his wheel with the other.
pushed so hard that the donkey, taking
fresh courage, pulled his load up to
the top successfully. The summit

to his benefactor. "It was very good

How Two Little Children Went on the
House Floor.

How Two Little Children Went on the
House Floor.
The cherubic insistence of childhood
and its utter indifference to established
forms and customs were strildngly
illustrated at the capitol the other day,
says the Washington Star. Two little
tots, aged about four and six, were
trotting around after some ladies, and
in the crowd got separated from their
natural protectors. The children
paused in front of the north entrance
doors as they swung back and forth,
then one said: Maybe auntie went in
there" and made break for the door.
Four pairs of hands reached for the
youngsters, all belonging to as many
agile doorkeepers, but the little ones
few past and all but tripped up long
legged representative who was just
ahead of them. lie stopped in the door
and began to demonstrate with them,
but, with childish impatience, they
tried to push him aside, and not being
able to do so, thrust their small heads
between his legs, one after the other,
and scooted in on to the floor. The
tall legislator paused aghast at the in
trusion and was just about to let the
aoor close when two small maids came
rushing pell-mell back again, and slid
between his legs out into the corridor.
"Ain't nobody but men in there" re-
marked one; "auntie must a-gone the
other way" and into the crowd they
ran

When the stomach and bowels are wrong
what seems a mere trihe, blocks the
whole system. Every part of the body
feels the effects of little constipation.
The head aches, the mouth tastes bad;
the stomach is distressed, the liver is coll
gested and torpid; you feel sluggish and
miserable and down-hearted; the energies
are completely paralyzed-all for want of
little help to regulate the stomach and
bowels. What you want is DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They will make you
regular and you keep so; they act in
comfortable natural way, not violently but
surely. They give the intestines power
to move naturally; and also tone the
stomach and liver. You don't become a
slave to their use, they cure you so you
stay cured. If druggist makes more
money on some violent purging pill he
may try to sell it to you. Don't let him.

CHICAGO MARKET
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, July 19.-The Liverpool quo
tations, which had been the main source
OF strength to the wheat market were re-
ported l1ad lower this morning and Chi
cago had 5S carloads of wheat inspected
INTO store since Saturday morning SO of
them from this years crop. These were
the reasons for the weakness which had
an opening decline of from 4 to y indicat-
ed. Total receipts at the five principal
winter wheat markets amounted to 3d.
914, of which PA 900 bushels was reported
from Kansas City.
Last year on the corresponding day the
receipts at the same five cities were 400 679
bushels, so that the deficiency between the
present and previous season is not now
very striking. That feature of the move
ment should change rapidly from now on.
1t Is with that expectation that some bear
sh feeling is developing among the lead
ing spectators, which would quickly be-
come very aggressive with a little en-
enlargement in the way of weakness
abroad. The visible supply, which was ex-
pected to show about 100000 bushels re-
duction, decreased 12S5,00O bushels, leav-
ing the total at 10 1924, 900 bushels compared
with 46, 900 bushels last year. The
amount ahoat for Europe is 200, 900 bush
els smaller than it was a week ago. Beer
bohm's reported a reduction for the week
in European stocks of 2,O31, 900, indicating
about 100000 bushels as the total reduce
ton in the worlds stocks. The exports of
wheat and flour from Atlantic ports since
Saturday were equal to 100000 bushels. The
decrease in the visible exceeded expecta-
lions and some spring wheat being taken
here for immediate shipment caused a
change in speculative sentiment The
tendency has been downward during the
greater part of the forenoon and short
sellers sold confidently on every raise I'M
til the matters last referred to brought
support to the bull side strong enough
to turn the bulk of the local crowd from
the bear SIDE Most of the buying was on
weak spots and enough of it to absorb the
floating scalping supply and turning the
sentiment from selling to buying. Septem-
Der, which got down to 691s in about an
hour from the start, recovered to 701A,
dropped again to 69ss and once more started
upward, reaching 70& Cablegrams from
Paris quoting that market excited from
speculation and poor thrashing returns
had some effect in helping the advance in
the latter part of the session. The price
here became still stronger toward the end.
September wheat opened 14@M lower at
69A@69a; sold from 69lz to 69%, back to
691s, then up to 71A, closing with sellers at
71S. Corn was moderately active and in
clined to follow the direction natural to
