HAD THE WHEEL CRAZE.
a Young Preacher Alluded to n "Safety"
In His Prayer.

The following is an actual incident
which took place recently in one of Den
ver's principal churches. The pastor of
the congregation in question is at pres
ent away on a vacation, but expects to
return in a few weeks. During his alb
sence the pulpit is filled by young
minister who has fond admiration for
wheels.
On this particular night, during
prayers, the preacher fervently asked
for the Almighty to restore the absent
brother to the pulpit, but by slip Of
the tongue said, And bring him home
ON a safety" OF course the meaning
was, And bring him home safely"
There was small litter from the
kneeling members of the congregation,
but this grew to lusty laughter when
the preacher, at the conclusion of his
duplication, arose, and walking to the
front of the platform, apologized for his
error. He assured his hearers that he
had sort of wheel craze, and the SINH.
larity of the words had misled him. -

The advance in the price of potatoes
has not yet been recorded in Sioux Falls,
S. d., where the price is now only 20
cents per bushel. The crop in that part
of the state is a big one, and when the
advance comes the benefit to the grow.
ers will be large. Prospectors from Nc
Lean county, Ills, and jackson county.
Ia, say the price there is from 70 cents
to 81 per bushel, and at the present
freight rate to Chicago the price ought
to advance at least 30 cents per bushel.
A farmer from Lincoln county says he
has 444 acres of potatoes which he
thinks will yield 200 bushels per acre
This will give him close to 80, 600 BUSH

KlONDlKE NIGHT STICK.
The Most Gorgeous Club Ever Twirled by
Policeman.

The Most Gorgeous Club Ever Twirled by
Policeman.
Pleasant d. Linville, a special police
man of San Francisco, has the most
valuable and artistic billy on the coast.
While the guest of his old friends, Mr..
and Mrs. Clarence J. Berry, who were
celebrating their return from the Klon-
dixie, Berry hid the weapon. Linville
had carried the stick for 20 years and
was grieved to lose it.
A fortnight later he was again dining
with his friends. Berry proposed Lin
ville's health, which was drunk, and
after puzzling his guest by culogistic
speech presented to him the old club,
now transformed into thing of beauty.
Gold nuggets worth $500, which Mrs.
Berry had taken from her own claim in
the Klondike, were deeply set around
one end of the handle, while broad
band of virgin gold around the other
end bore the legend, "From Mr.. and
Mrs. G. j. Berry of Klondike to Pleas

Love and dreams of Klondike gold
ore causing many queer happenings
One of them was the recent refusal of
Charles Taggert of Chicago to proceed
to Klondike until he Lad proposed mar
riage to young woman of Illinois and

Taggert arrived in Tacoma from Chi
cago with his father and four other men
named Hamilton, Sisson, Brown and
Webster All but Webster and young
Taggert were married. The day after
their arrival these two showed signs of
inconsistencies and began talking of re-
turning. The older Klondikers laughed
at them.
Both boys remained in bad spirits for
the next two days. Then there was q
change in their demeanor, and when
they embarked OH the steamer City Of
Seattle for Skagguay that afternoon their
faces were beaming with joy. They
had proposed marriage by wire to their
sweethearts in suburb of Chicago. and
their propositions had been accepted

BOAT BLOCKED A RIVER.
A Big Steamer Made Trouble In Chi
cagO Waterway.

edEo
A block in the Chicago river was
caused recently by the steamer City Of
Bangor, which was starting out for
Buffalo with cargo of 16S, 900 bushels
of corn. This is one of the largest boats
which come into the river, being $50
feet long and 40 feet beam and drawing
Is feet 4 inches aft and II feet / inch
forward with its big cargo, so that its
keel was in the mud nearly all the time.
The vessel grounded opposite Polk
street for four hours keeping the bridge
open all that time, and then it ground
ed over the Washington street tunnel.
The Washington street bridge was
swung between the masts, so that traffic
was carried Oh until the tugs got the
vessel off, but in opening the bridge the
floor jammed on the steamers capstan,
and part of the floor planking had to
be cut away before the bridge could be
swung clear.
AT Randolph street bridge cable got
entangled with the screw, and the
bridge had to be kept open for about
half an hour while this accident was
being remedied. 1t took the City Of
Bangor from z 80 p. m. one day TO 2 80
p. m. on the day following to get through
the Chicago river from the grain elevator
to the lake. Engineering News.

Our Versatile Solons.

The terrors of the weather are forgotten when
we note
The present solemn stiffness Of the men for
whom we vote
Their intellects are seethine with the heat OF
numerous schemes,
Their quiet is the silence Of the poet when he
dreams,
And our own dull, earthly natures with sus-
pense are sadly vexed
AS we wonder what the congressman are going
to do next.
Strange rumors oft come struggling from their
haunts in sylvan hooks
They're busy writing essays or composing
startling books,
And some are writing poetry and some pre-
pairing plays.
It's very curious man who's not o genius
nowadays.
Hope and apprehension mingle as each cons
his chosen text
And we wonder what the congressman are GO
ing to do next.

ENTERTAINMENTS.


Lost, Strayed or stolen" will be
presented at the Hyperion tonight and
tomorrow night, The Boston Globe
says; Lost, strayed or Stolen" mas a
somewhat amusing story, but the sue
cess of the piece belongs to the people,
and 1t Is rare that so many clever
people and 80 many pretty girls and
so much good business are seen in one
show. The story concerns one Bidaft,
Paris florist, who is about to chrisIen
his first child-a boy He had desired
as godfather for his first born, his old
friend, Timothy Chachignon from Mar
settles Ga warm-hearted gentleman CT
southern tlavor), but his wife and his
mother-in-law have desired differently,
Each secretly sends for her choice.
Nine. Bidart invites M. Galampois, the
rich family notary. Nine. la belle mere
invites her old admirer, Gregory Courte
Bott de Rokuencourt. Now, all these
invited godpapas arrive, and Bidart is
at his wits end. Each is influential.
All are rich. But a. baby, even a first
born, and son, cannot have three
godfathers. The situation Is perplex-
Ing. Even the diplomacy of Partisan
florist cannot circumvent that.
Here fate takes a hand, the damp
nurse" as Chachignon calls her, takes
the baby out to air in the Luxembourg
garden. Seeing her husband, the
buxom Catherine entrusts the baby to
another girl, and when she returns it
is gone.
Being no baby, there can be no chris
tening. Bidart, beside himself, starts
in quest of his baby. The then can
didate for sod papa, cajoled by the
pretty god mama, agrees to go out
baby chasing, in the hope of recover
ing the lost, strayed or stolen child.
Then follows an amazing search for
the baby. 1t was found at last where
it was lost-and the christening all
safely over. The three candidates for
god papa had been badly damaged in
the chase, and an unexpected candi-
date, Jolivet, a poor relation, had serv-
ed in their place.
The piece is interpreted with some
music, catchy and tuneful enough, but
chiefly getting there" just as the
piece does; in the way it is done. The
company includes Louis Harrison,
Georgia Game and others. Sale of
seats now open.
