The Baltimore Sun is another
able Democratic journal that is
willing to admit that prosperity
is here. In an editorial it says
.Some persons continue to
say that business has not improv-
ed, but it is because they have
not taken the trouble to look
over large field. Certain indi-
viduals. for one reason or anoth-
er, may fail to do an improved
business, but it is beyond ques-
ton that the great majority of
people are suffering less than
formerly from business stagna-
ton. Evidence of this is seer in
bank clearings-an infallible
barometer-which are larger by
80 per cent. than a year ago.
Current railroad earnings are
from 12 to Is per cent. better
another infallible proof. The
fall in cotton to 5:95 cents per
pound for January options is a
depressing fact, but it was down
to 5:25 cents in January, 1894.
What we lose thus from an in
ternatioual point of view on cot
ton exports we gain back in re-
duced cost of imported coffee.
Coffee costs now 4 cents a pound
less than it did year ago

this he bought cigar for half dollar,
and nearly died from it's effects.
Later he was induced to try some
Clark street whisky, after which he
slept long and soundly. When he
awoke he found he was short about SIS,
while his brand-new shoes had been ex-
changed for pair of old rubbers.
While searching for shoe store he
met stranger who offered to guide
him to a place, after which he loaned
his guide five dollars. The shoes he
purchased were secondhand, but he
got them cheap at three dollars for
the pair. He decided to have them
shined. A bootblaek polished one OF
the shoes, but refused to finish the
job unless he was given so cents. The
money was paid over, and the boy ran
away.

DIDN'T LIKE THE CITY.
Country Cow Makes Lots of
Trouble for Mr.. Beauchamp.
Uuforeseen Obstacles to Leading
the Obstinate Creature Quickly
Through the Quiet Streets of
Atlanta at Night.

There are a great many different
kinds of trouble in this world, but, says
the Atlanta Constitution, j. P. Beau
champ, a well-known citizen, had an ex-
perience with a COW the other night
which puts him in the category with
the modern Jobs. Beauchamp bought
a COW in Gwinnett county and under
took to get her to his home in Atlanta,
which is out on Marietta street, near
Collins brickyard. The COW never be-
fore having seen the sights in great
city became unruly as soon as she
reached the limits. Then it was that
.Beauchamp struck upon the happy
thought of leading his COW through the
CITY after dark. There was no help for
it. He had to pass right through the
heart of the city, which he approached
from Decatur street, and his route lay
down that thoroughfare and out Mari
eta street The COW would not pass
electric cars and the rumbling wagons
in daytime, and Beauchamp thought
everything would be all right when the
shades of night fell and Atlanta was
resting after the excitement of the
busy day.
Beauchamp waited until about one
o'clock at night, when there was not
a street car or vehicle on the streets,
and then he started up Decatur street
with his COW. He had not gone many
squares before a watchful police officer
hailed him and asked him where he got
the COW and why he was driving it
through the city at such an unusual
hour of the night. Beauchamp compli-
mented the officer on his vigilance and
Atlanta on having such watchful guard
ians of the peace, and explained the
situation. It was some trouble, be-
cause the cow would not stand still, and
he was in a profuse perspiration. He
was at last permitted to proceed on his
way after having lost Is minutes. But
he was an honest citizen, and did not
wish to rest under any suspicion.
He had not gone two squares further
before he was stopped by another po-
liceman. and he again explained the
situation as patiently as he could un-
der the circumstances. Another Is

minutes were lost. 1t chanced that the
very hour Beauchamp had selected for
his night trip through the city was
when the watches of the police force had
just been changed, and he began to en-
counter all the so or 60 policemen who
were on their way home. Nearly every
one of them stopped him and he was
obliged to explain himself and his
COW. He was getting mad, but he
would not show it. Finally he reached
the city barracks, where Capt. Thomp-
son and several other officers were sit
ting out on the sidewalk. They hailed
him. and Capt. Thompson asked:
what will you take for that COW.
mister?"
Beauchamp mopped his dripping
brow as he replied: Il know you want
to ask me what I am doing out on the
streets at this time of night with a cow
So just ask it,"
''Well, that's what I will do," replied
the police captain. And Beauchamp for
about the fortieth time explained the
situation.
81 don't think you will ever get that
COW home" remarked Capt. Thompson,
gravely, "for you will have to pass four
or five more policemen on Marietta
street."
Good Lord!" exclaimed Beauchamp,
'sI've a good notion to give the blamed
COW away. She has already cost me
more trouble than she is worth. It has
got so that she stops every time she
sees policeman"
He was allowed to proceed on his way,
and in about ten minutes there came a
ring at the telephone. The call officer
answered the ring, and turning to Capt
Thompson he said:
can officer has found strange man
driving cow through the street"
That's Beauchamp in more trouble" !"
the captain said; "just tell the officer
that the stranger has passport"
It is presumed that Beauchamp and
his COW got home all right some time
before breakfast. But he will doubtless
never undertake to drive another COW
through Atlanta at night.

Wit of an Unwilling Juror.

A strange story is related of a jury
man who outwitted Judge, and that
without lying. He ran into court in a
desperate hurry and quite out Of breath
and exclaimed:
"Oh, Judge, if you can, pray excuse
me! 1 don't know which will die first,
my wife or my daughter"
Dear me, that's sad" said the inno-
cent Judge. Certainly, you are ex-
cused."
The next day the juryman was met
by friend, who, in a sympathetic
voice, asked:
''How's your wife,"
She's all right, thank you"
And your daughter"
shes all right, too. Why do you
ask"
why. yesterday you said you did not
know which would die first"
Nor do I. That is the problem
