A smart Rat story.

The London Field tells this story: "a rat
was caught alive on board a British naval
vessel in a trap, and the beast was thrown
from the trap into the water without being
killed. A large gull that was following in
the wake of the ship to pick up scraps OF
food thrown overheard by the steward,
stopped several times. endeavoring to pick
the rat up once the bird got too close to
the rats jaws and the beast grabbed il
by the neck. After a short fight the rat
succeeded in killing the bird When the
gull was dead the rat scrambled upon the
birds body, and, hosting one wing as a
sail. and using the other as a rudder, sue
ceeded in steering for the shore. Whether
the rat reached shore or not is a question.
since the ship soon got out of sight of the
skipper and its craft"

New York city will spend $4,000 for the
entertainment Of President Mckinley and
other distinguished guests on the occa-
sion of the dedication Of the Grant monu-
ment in April. When the Infanta Eulalie
of Spain was in this country en- route to
the fair in Chicago, New York city spent
$4,000 in entertaining her. At the same
time, it would probably not be fair to Faith
er KncserbocEer to judge his relative ap-
probation Of an American President and a
Spanish princess by the amount Of money
spent upon them.

The several bank crashes in Chicago
and the northwest will afford some fine
plckings for lawyers and others. Bank
receiverships are generally very fat. Some
times they pay larger salaries than that
received by the President of the United
States. And then there is usually a lot
of legal forms to be gone through with,
which pay big fees. II is said that some
of the big politicians of Chicago have for
the time being almost lost sight of the SEN
atorship contest in their eagerness to Sc
cure, if possible, a bank rcceivership.

American tailor from cloth manufactured
in this country from wool grown in this

"Mr. Bryan's Calamity ChuckIe."
From the New York World DemN.

There is a note of "ghoulish glee" in Mr.
Bryan's taunting reference to the bank
failures in Chicago and the business trou-
bles in other places. IL is not a suffclent
answer TO say that these failures are more
the result Of bad banking than of bad
business. and that if Mr.. Bryan had been
elected the failures would have been a
hundred times more general and disas-
trous. The latter allegatio while proba-
bly, true, can only be assumed, not proved

All the talk about MIR. Bryans disgrace
ing his cause by delivering lectures upon
it. or selling himself to a theatrical man

full to his assailants. How is he to live and

an outrage

the somewhat startling declaration that at
least one-third Of the work Of his court

had stolen not only a BICYCLE but a cos
tune to go with it. The Judge said the

Sen = James, republican, of Mecklen-

ONLY ONE LoAD.-Of the late Will
lam H. Vanderbilt, his father, the
commodore, had but poor opinion o1
his business ability, and told him ne
could live on farm that he owned
on Staten Island, and that that was
all he would do toward his support
Some time after that the old gentle
man inquired of the son how his farm
was doing. The latter replied that the
crop was not good, and the farm seem
ed to need 'fertilizing.
"Well," said the commodore, "there
is a lot of horse-refuse at my stable,
I will give you load only one )" and
he wrote out an order for the one load.
The next day the commodore went
to his place, and was surprised to see
the entire collection had disappeared:
"Where has that gomez" he asked
of his stable hand.
"Why, William H. took it."
"But he only had an order for one
load"
"That's all he took"
"Why, what did he have?"

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
b MARCH, it is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one Of the cleanest,
most enferprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, 1t IL natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families in the county desire It asa as regu, g
can afford 1t, 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-
peclally desirable for us, just at this time, TO
secure the services Of a large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make II
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price of o single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is TO the individual
who does not give his name to O clubmaker /;
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
ctftODa.

SENATOR WADE's HAIR.-Senator
Ben Wade of Ohio, one of the intel.
lectual giants developed by the Civil
war, carried his brains in a head as
bald as an elliptical billiard ball. But
he always wore a beautiful glossy wig
of iet-black hair. One day, just after
he had concluded very strong speech
in congress, he was waited upon in the
lobby of the Capitol by a young wo-
man.
"Senator," began the young woman,
"I have listened to every word you
have uttered today with the greatest
interest, and oh what gallant man
you are! Would you object to give
me a curl of your hair to carry home
to Ohio with me?"
"Why, certainly, madam, you can
have it ALL" answered the senator,
removing the wig and handing it to
the astonished woman.

To be more explicit. It Is possible that the

"Don't think so? That's rather
singular. The opinion hold on the

''It may be, but 1 have my own

p@ A priest who was notorious for
his frequent absence from his parish,
one day called upon the archbishop to
ask for a vacation. His health re-
quired it, he said. "Do the physicians
say you need change of ARP" asked
the prelate. "They do, your grace" "
"Then how would it do for you to try
the air of your parish for a month or
two?" At another time the arch
bishop rebuked priest for wearing a
disreputable-looking silk hat. "But l
would not give up that hat for 20 new
ones" said the priest. "It belonged
to my father, who fell in the rising OF
49," "Ah," was the archbishop's re-
tort, "and evidently he fell on the
hat"

calls to mind the awkwardness of one
of the raw recruits. In his compost
ton there was not a particle of time
or tune, and the step always bothered
him. One day, at drill, Smith was
persistently getting out of step and out
of place, until the drill.master demand
ed, impa,iently, "Smith, where do you
belong?" With innocence upon his
face, and a sense of injury in his tone,
the recruit answered, "In Ipswich,

there" was the officers despairing re-
joinder.

for day off. "Vot you want day
OFF," was the inquiry, made in an
ominously sharp manner. Schmidt,
with that vehement truth peculiar to

takes place on that day." ''Vell, dot
