Harry Sharpley died many years
ago and now Henry c. Turner has fol-
lowed him." remarked a member of
the bar, but their names viii always
be linked together with pleasant mem
orios in the minds Of many persons
who knew them wen in those days
when they were both in their prime
They were irrepressible practical
jokers, and each was often the victim
of the other. The story of Mr. Sharp
ley having Mr.. Turner taken in Gus
tCdy in Philadelphia as an escaped
felon, and Mr.. Turner having Mr.
Sharpley run in as man suspected of
forgery or something of that kind, has
gone the rounds so often that it will
scarcely bear repeating. But there is
another story which l have heard, al
most equally good, which will show
how earnestly the two men INDUCED
in their practical jokes. Mr.. Turner
and Mr.. Sharpley went with William
T. Lyman TO his parents home, on a
Mill Creek hundred farm, to enjoy a
days sport in the field That they
might get an early start in the morn
ing they went out to the farm the night
before. Mr.. Lyman gave Mr.. Turner
and Mr. Sharpley bed between them,
and he occupied a room just across the
hallway. II was a bitter cold night,
and, as farmhOuses in those days were
not supplied with artificial heat
throughout, a bed-fellow was quite ac-
ceptable, even though the feather beds
were thick and the bedding heavy.
Sometime in the night Mr. Lyman
heard an awful crash, and q minute
later Mr.. Sharpley slipped into his
room and said: Let me in Bill,
quick" As he crawled in Mr.. Lyman
asked him what the trouble was. you
Just keep quiet a few minutes and
you'll find out" said Mr.. Sharpley.
Several minutes passed, and still there
was no demonstration on the part OF
Mr.. Turner. At last Mr.. Lyman decided
to investigate. He went into the other
room, which was flooded with moon
light. The bed vas tenantless, but in
a woeful state OF disorder. It looked
as though a hurricane had been play
ing with it. On a trunk near the win
dow sat an object clad in white. II
was Mr.. Turner, and he was shivering
as though he had the ague.
Get in bed, Harry said Mr.. Ly-
nam. you'll catch your death of cold
here"
We'll, l don't think I'll get in that
bed, answered Mr.. Turner. THAT infer
nal Harry Sharpley is underneath it
and as soon as / get in he'll give it a
heave that will drive me through The
roof. / almost went that way a few
minutes ago."
"Why, man, Harry Sharpley is in
my beed, fast asleep He isn't under
that bed said Mr.. Lyman, reassur.
ingly.
"Yes he is, too" retorted Mr.. Tur
ner.
At last Mr. Lyman took him over tC
his room and showed him Mr.. Sharp
ley, apparently sleeping like log, bu
in reality keenly alive to everything
that was going on. But for Mr.. Ly
nam's thoughtfulness in going over {,
him Mr.. Turner would undoubtedl.
have spent the balance of the night OF
the lid of that trunk.

THE sKIN PERFORATED.

Constant dripping wears away a
stone, and constant rubbing pierces
the most callOus skin From time to
time the Evening Journal has been call
ing the attention Of the public and the
Levy Court to the miserable manner in
which the draw at Third street bridge
has been operated. A day or two ago
an Evening Journal reporter called at
the bridge and asked one of the men
in the shanty If there was any news
down there. He wanted to know what
paper the reporter represented. When
told that it was the Evening Journal
he ordered him out of the shanty. Levy
Court Commissioner Mealey may think
that he is proiiting by retaining such
Doors in the public service, but, If he
does. he is probably the only man in
the city. outside of the aridgetenders.
VINO entertains that opinion.

EASY TO BUY; HARD TO SELL

William s. Hilles is another man
who has Learned that It is easy to buy a
nice yacht, but awfully hard to sell it
for anything like a decent price. His
keel-yacht Marina is one Of the finest
little boats in these waters. She is speedy
perfectly safe, fineiy appointed, and the
only earthly objection to her is that
she is little small in her cabin room.
For several months be has been en-
deavoring to sell her. but the offers he
received were so far below what he con-
sidered her worth that he refused them
all. Now he has her in winter-quarters
in tho canal near Delaware City, and
doubtless before the Spring is far ad-
vanced he will be so much in love with
her again that he will not part with her
for any consideration until the sailing
season is over again, for he is not Ouly
an enthusiastic, but also a capable,
yachtsman.

A SUGGESTION FROM THE CHAIRS
Il am a frequent patron of the Grand
Opera House, and under its present
management no possible fault can be
found said a play-goer Of prominence
yesterday. The shows are good and
clean. Mr.. Bayls books nothing which
is either trashy or indecent. Patrons
are treated with courtesy and respect
so long as they conduct themselves in
a manner deserving Of gentlemanly
consideration. The best Of order pre-
vai,s during the performances, and
there is, TO my mind, only one just
complaint which can be made. AT The
conclusion Of the performance the per-
sons occupying seats downstairs are
forced to go cut by the same exit used
by the hundreds of men and boys who
patronize the gallery, which has been
of late better patrOnized than down.
stairs. The two crowds meet about
midway Cf The main corridor. and
frcm that po.nt out to the pavement
the-e is a constant and annoying crush,
especially unpleasant and dangerous TO
women and children, for the gallery
gods are not respecters of persons. Not
only that, but suppose a fire were to
break out. A tragedy would be enact
ed at the foot of that stairway. It's
open character makes it possible for
panic-stricken gallery gods to drop
from above upon the heads and Shout
ders Of those in the corridor below, and
the rush and crush from above would
mean death to many seeking exit from
the lower part of the house. There is
only One way in which this can be rem
edied. A separate entrance and exit
must be provided for the gallery pa
irons. While Manager Baylis cannot
be expected to do this work at his own
expense, my knowledge of the charac-
ter of the men who compose the Ma
sonic Hall Company leads me to as
sumo that if he were to place the mat
| ter before them in a comprehensive
manner they would see the reasonable
ness Of the suggestion and authorize
him to have the work done"

Facts established sooner or later con.
troll wheat values. Speculation may
temporarily advance or depress values.
but in the end the laws OF supply and
demand are sure to assert themselves
and control values. II has been self
evident proposition for several weeks
past that conditions warranted higher
values. Speculative influences have
repeatedly driven prices downward. bu.
the market has rebounded with the
buoyancy of cork upon the water.
The news announcements Of the week
have been uniformly favorable to high
er values, Crop advices at home indi-
cate less than an average acreage seeded
to winter wheat, owing to the pro-
tracted drought, which has been broken
only in certain sections Of the winter
wheat belt. Receipts at primary points
are falling of and promise from this on
to prove smaller than last year. Ex-
port clearances continue large, 5.99l,
600 bushels for the week, which 10
largely in excess OF our exportable sur
plus weekly. The export demand shows
no signs OF diminution. On the con-
trsry. it is urgent and increasing, the
last few days OF the week having re-
suited in very large sales for export.
Foreign advices continue extremely
bullish. The reports of our own con-
suls in Europe more than confirm the
maximum estimates Of European inn
port requirements. Advices from Lon
don assert that Mediterranean ports are
sutbidding England for Russian wheat.
The French chamber of deputies has
been petitioned to reduce the import
duty on wheat, and some action in this
direction will probably be taken sooner
or later, although not necessarily at
present, Russian advices, although al
ways unreliable and largely mythical,
are extremely bullish and must neces-
sarily have some foundation on fact.
The Argentine crop is still an unknown
quantity. Reports are conflicting.
Drought conditions have prevailed.
Locusts have caused some damage, and
in the absence OF reliable reports it can
not be assumed that the crop will be a
large one in yield. Local speculative
conditions are extremely favorable for
higher values. Stocks on contract grain
are very small, practically exhausted,
and there is no immediate prospect Of
their being replenished. We can dis
cover nothing in the situation at home
or abroad warranting any declines in
values, and would regard any decline as
but temporary, unwarranted, and
therefore good speculative opportun-
ity to buy wheat, the final outcome Of
which we anticipate to be much higher

The illustration shows wagon and
pumping outfit just completed by the
Hercules Gas Engine Co., of San Fran
cisco and now in use by the Supervisors
of Tulare county upon the roads near
Visalia.
1t consists Of an improved type of an
ordinary sprinkling wagon, and plat
form built at the rear of the tank upon
which stands az Fl. P. Special Her
cules Gasoline Engine geared to g.
inch centrifugal pump. From this
pump runs rubber suction hose and
discharge pipe into the tank. The tank
holds $4,000 gallons OF water which
will be filled by the pump in six min
utes under ordinary lift, or not to ex-
ceed ten minutes lifting 20 feet, and
at a cost of about 8 cents for each fill
ing. The uses to which this improve
ment can be put are not confined to
road sprinkling, but 1t is applicable to
any purpose where water has to be
hauled, as, for instance, supplying
threshing machinery or conveying water
from one point to another for any pur-
pose. The simplicity OF the engine
makes its use perfectly safe and relia-
Bile, as it is automatic in action, all
that is needed being to open the valve
admitting the gasoline, and to give the
wheel start with the hand. It is
durable and not at all likely to get out
of order, requiring neither engineer nor
machinist to keep it in condition for
work.
sprinkling country roads has been
considerable Of problem, and it is be-
lieved that this improvement will go
far towards an economical solution of
it. The Hercules Gas Engine Works Of

IMPROVED sPRlNkLlNe WAGON
A Device that Does Away with Road
side Pumps and Tanks.

A Device that Does Away with Road
side Pumps and Tanks.
A recent improvement in sprinkling
wagons bids fair to revolutionize road
and street sprinkling in the country
where there is no water system to sup
ply water from hydrants. Heretofore
it has been the custom to erect pump
ing plants, or to pipe water from dis
tant points to stations along the road at
such distances that the load at one OF
these stations would last until the
wagon reached the next station on it's
trip. This plan makes necessary the
expense of piping, tanks, wells, horse
powers, etc., and has always been a
very considerable item of expense, and
more or less Of an obstacle to having
roads we'll watered.
The improvement consists in attach
ing gasoline engine and centrifugal
pump on platform at the rear of the
sprinkling wagon so that water can be
taken from any convenient source. A
suction hose with foot valve is attached
to the pump which can be lowered into
tank, creek, watering trough, or any
water source. The wagon driver then
starts the engine, and in from six to
ten minutes his wagon is filed
