men was centered in this '.critter,' and
they did not notice the confusion that
was going on at the back of the station
until suddenly the handsome old bay, that
had been tied i'm the rear, came charging
up like q hurricane. He. made bite at
the new animal, which had not yet been
fastened into the harness, and drove that
fellow wildly across the station and, TAX
ing his accustomed place under the har-
ness, looked around as if to say, No, you
don [. This is nay place.
That event calls to mind another that
transDired a few years ago in the same
house. One of the horses, instead of hay-
an automatic halter, which released him
when the alarm went in. One night the
alarm was given. and all the horses jump
ed TO their places, but for some reason the
natter on this one horse did not work. He
was held firmly tied TO a Scantling that
was fastened to the floor and ceiling. The
faithful animal had been too well trained

with an awful struggle, he pulled the
scantling down and, reaching his place,
stood under the harness win the ten-foot
piece OF lumber hanging to his neck.
The other evening while waiting for the
change Of shifts at the police station,
some Of the officers drew up chairs around
the stove IN the Office and began to spin
yarns. jim Adams. the genial desk ser
geant Strayed in about that time and
startled the boys by reeling of yard
of yarn than was surprising to them all.
AS Jim lighted the fourth cigar he had
smoked within the hour, and settled him
self comfortably in chair by the fire, all
the officers waited for him to begin.
Il was down south, began Jim. "a
few years ago and did not reach the little
settlement l was going to until nearly

I filed the wash basin with water,
dropped the little pest into it and sat
the basin by the side of my bed for

heard that they were numerous in that
place. l went back to bed and had scarce
another bite and captured him. then
struck a match and dropped the flea in the
water, and followed it with the match
This performance l kept up for several
hours, each each time would light match
to see that l dropped the insect into the
water, and each time dropped the match
in with him.

Martin chrigtophergon is alive.

Martin ChrlStopherSon is allVe-
It was thought when Martin, and
Perry, and Geddes went down, in the
language Of the poet, like grass be-
fore the mower" he was down to stay,
but it appears he has bobbed up again
and is strictly on the deck.
Come now several people and state
that Martin is an applicant for the
position of park keeper and that he
expects TO get there.
For the benefit Of the city council,
which begins its term of Office on Mon
day at one minute after Y o'clock, the
statement is made that Martin is not
a resident of the city. That he lives
in Farmers ward, where he grows ap-
pie trees, plum trees, evergreen trees,
trees that are not evergreen, pear
trees, peach trees, aXletrees, while
trees, all kinds Of trees.
OF course Martin is a good gardener.
Gardening is his strong hold. 1t is re-
lated that in the days Of his youth he
was one of the gardeners to the king in
his native land. That Christian y
used to say that Martin was the best
hand he had on the place.
But there are other good gardeners.
The woods are fun of them. They live
in the city and are handy to their
work. Martin, living as he does out
side Of town, would have to get UP
early to arrive at his place Of business
in time TO water the plants and that
early rising would maybe initiate
against his health, and everybody
wants Martin to live long time and
be happy.
People viii remember that during the
campaign which closed with the cleo
ton of Mr. Clark, there was a great
deal said about taxpayers" holding
office; that the patriots wanted
Taxpayers" in the places and prom
isad On the stump, when they should
have gained control that taxpayers
should be appointed
a wicked opponent Of Kelsey, the
slate candidate for city engineer, has
looked up his record on the books and
says that Kelsey is not a taxpayer, ex-
cept as he pays poll tax and a tax on
the few articles Of household furniture
which he has.
With this ponderous fact staring
them IN the face how will the reformers
vote?
1t is said that Arthur Pratt has
gained a vote for confirmation by an
Interchange of courtesies with one of
the Republican councilmen. who has
q friend he wants selected for the
police force: that Mr.. Pratt has prom
ised to appoint him if he is confirmed
! and the councilman weakened.
BY the way, Mr.. Pratt is moving
heaven and earth. as the saying goes
He is leaving no stone unturned to
help himself in this connection.

New York, Dec. 30.-TOday's stock mar
ket was remarkably narrow and irregular,
the highly speculative securities absorb
ing practically the whole of the limited
dealings, in which no one but professional
traders took any active part. There was
10 reflection of any news in the course OF
prices There was evidence of large real
ling in some of the securities of local
corporations which have recently been
advanced by the buying of a combination
of interests. But the declines thus Ell
fected in these stocks invited buying
again and restored the earlier losses, IN
some cases carrying them materially
above the previous level.
Metropolitan Street Railway was the
most conspicuous IN the group, gong over
a range OF three points. Manhattan NOV
ed less extensively, in sympathy. ConSol-
dated Gas fell three points on the admit
ted failure OF the attempted local. gas
combination, but covering OF shorts
brought IL back to last nights close.
Other sDeclalties moved with equal ir-
regularity, and the changes on the day
are small. Pennsylvania enjoyed the ben
eft of current reports of heavy earnings
by that company, and touched 1l5, but re-
acted on proflt-tak1Rg.
DAYS FEATURE.
A feature of the day in Wall street was
the very great strength of the exchange
market actual rates for sterling being
SlAGD3Is There is still some demand to
satisfy for remittances to europe in pay
ment of dividends and interest on Amer
lean securities.
Exchange bankers attribute the strength
of todays market to an investment de-
mand, and this investment, they say, is
| based on prospects of cheaper local rates
for money. A fall in the local rates for
money would lead to a renewal of the
! tending of credits abroad; nevertheless,
| there was no evidence of softening in to-
days money market. no loans being re-
! ported at less than 312 per cent and others
/ being made at 4 per cent. The sub
treasury was a debtor at the clearing
| house again today to the extent of over
! 100000, and the repletion of the money
market from that quarter is expected to
continue until after the end of the year.
