ANCIENT BUT GOOD.
a Prehistoric Joke which Still Fur
nishes Amusement.

Once upon time there was a Joke.
1t WAS pretty good Joke too origi-
nally. Berosus, the Babylonlan his
torian. tells us that it was current in
Ur of the Chaldses when Abraham
lived 10 that city. IL WIS an old fay
erite OF Tiglath Pileser and Asshnr
bani pal, Sennacherib used TO laugh
heartily over it, and Sargon got "A
stitch IN his side when he beard it,
which is supposed to have caused his
death, All the comic papers in the
days ot old Ramases published it, 1t
was ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS only relaxation
during the Jewish captivity, and he
is said to have first discovered it on a
tile found in an old palace which he
was repairing. II had great run
through the i've monsrchies, and
though they all peashed the joke
survived. HeruSlitus and Polybius,
il we remember alight, both record
1t as fine sample Of prehistoric hu-
NOR. 1t was cherished by the Athen
ians and was the piece de resistance
IN the circus at ROME, II travelled
side by side with the Black Death
during the middle ages. IL partici-
pated in the making of England ard
was familiar friend in Ultima Thule
and Van Dieman's Land And it has
survived even unto our day, This Is
the Joke;
Jones was on his last legs In fact
it was a matter OF hut few days for
him, so he seat for three ministers. =
Presbyterian, Methodist and jew
ish rabbi. and told them that it each
put 500 in his coffin he would leave
them 5000 each in bis will He
died shortly after, and the DAY sitter
be was buried the Methodis; minister
met the Presbyterian and asked him
II he had put his Sl00 in the caske.,
Il did, said the Presbyterian
minis or.
In what form did you put il in 81
asked the Methodist minister.
In i've $40 gold pieces
well. y0u'l get your 5000" /"
How lid you put yours ins
Il put in crisp new 500 bali.
'-weil, youll get your 5000, to3-n
Just then they saw the rabbi across
the street, and they called him over
aud asked hin in what form he had
put his 500 in the casket
L put IN my check Tor SEQ and
took ont the change
This of caurse j. the nineteeu;h
century form Of the Joke Originally
the parties to it were Moabite.

Cotton Letter.


 New York, June 30-(Special.)-T local bears were again taking their medicine in the cotton market today. Private crop ac- counts as a rule, continued favorable, but the general fear of serious dry spell in the south has made operators anxious to close existing short lines and extremely timid about making fresh ones. 4The spot demand Is still good and serves to ericonr- age those who think we shall have higher prices. Liverpool this morning was one and one-half to two points higher. The' dispatch was a disappointment and our, market opened slightly lower. sAfber a. temporary weakness the failure of the weather report to show a general rain couraged fresh buying and prices advanced sharply. Under free selling for the south most of the advance was lost later in the day. The market closed steady at about last nights prices. 5.s "'"
 August opened at 7.S3, declined to 732 and closed at 7.3S. While the sentiment icon- tinues as bullish the present. sharp ad- vances may occur, but unless there is real drought we do not think they will be last ing. RIORDAN & co.
