His First Day at the Races.

Farmer Wendell had come to the city
to look around a little and to see the
Brooklyn bridge He had read 50 much
about the races that he took a run
down to Brighton to spend the day
Like all others, he was ambitious to
carry back some of the money that was
being offered at big odds, and, after
approaching the bookmaker, selected a
20 TO l shot and then walked away to
watch his favorite.
AS the horses were going to the post
Farmer Wendell came running back to
the bookmaker all out of breath and
demanded his money.
Say. boss, that hain't fair Give up
my dollarl Give it up!'
But what's the trouble?" inquired
the bookmaker.
Wall, now, see here, I hain't been
drivin' bosses all my life fer nothin'
Think yer kin make me believe a boss
can run a mile and a half on a one-mile
track ?"-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Russian Pickpockets.

One day, while dining together, the
French ambassador and a Grand Duke
of Russia were discussing the cleverness
of the pickpocketS of their respective
countries.
The Grand Duke claimed that the
Russian pickpocket was the more skill
full Seeing the ambassador incredu
lous, he told him he would without
knowing it. be relieved of his watch.
before leaving the table.
He then telephoned to the head of the
police to send at once the cleverest pick
pocket he could lay his hands on.
The man came and was put into liv
cry, and was told to wait at table with
the other servants. He was to give the
Grand Duke a sign directly he had done
the trick
But this was not given very soon, for
the ambassador was very wary and
always kept on the alert, and held his
hand on his fob, even when conversing
with the most distinguished guests.
At last the Grand Duke received the
preconcerted signal He at once re-
quested the ambassador to tell him the
time. The latter triumphantly put his
hand to his pocket, and pulled out a
potato instead of a watch.
To conceal his feelings he would take
pinch of snuff-his snuff-box was gone.
Then he missed his ring from his finger,
and his gold toothpick, which he had
been holding in his hand in it's little
case.
Amid the hilarity of the guests the
sham lackey was requested to restore
the articles; but the Grand Dukes mer-
riment was changed into alarm and sur
prise when the theft produced two
watches. two rings, two snuff-boxes, etc.
His imperial highness then made the
discovery that he himself had been rob-
bed at the same time that the French
ambassador had been despoiled so
raftily.-Harpers Round Table.

A SHOT AT THE SENATE.
A Kentucky Spellbinder Denounces
It's Dizziness.

A lot of Kentuckians We're talking the
other evening about the great men OF
their State.
One of the finest old gentlemen on
earth" said a distinguished man in the
group. lis General John S. Williams, or
'Cerro Gordo,' as he is popularity known,
and when l was in the Senate gallery
yesterday listening TO the solemnity OF
things when Billy Mason hasn't got the
floor, or Allen is not paving up the car
pet, or Tillman isn't laundering the
plaster off the walls, was reminded OF
the time when General Williams was
Kentucky representative in that dis
tinguished body. The General as we
ali know in Kentucky, is a spell-binder,
and when he turns his voice and his
brilliant oratory loose on the blue grass
air it stirs things up forty feet below
the ground and clean up to the canopy
of the heavens.
when the General came to the Sem
ate he had an idea that what was good
in Kentucky was good anywhere. so he
was ready at any time to let loose any
quantity of eloquence. He had oppor-
tunity in plenty, as it happened, but
the result of his effort was not salts
factory. He kept on trying, but still it
wouldn't work, and one day the Gen
eral gave way in the cloakroom before
dozen or more listeners.
"'Begad, suh,' he said holly, I think
it is shame sub, that the galleries of
this Senate chamber are not allowed to
applaud, sub. Why, sub, when I make
speech in Kentucky, sub, the applause
is such, sub, that if the same privileges
were allowed in these galleries, sub, /
would be able, sub, to lift the roof right
off this magnificent marble structure,
sub. But as it is, sub, the stupidity,
the dignity and the frigidity of this
Senate absolutely paralyzes my intel
lect, sub Washington Star.

THE GOLD COMMISSIONERS.
Justice In the Klondike Melted Out o.
Short Notice.
Seattle ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

In the rush of news about the won
derful gold discoveries In the Klondike
there has been mentioned once in q
while about the gold commissioner"
but the public is not fully aware how
important a parsonage he Is. 1t Is I'm
deed q hard matter for the people In
the United States to think of disputes
involving large wealth being settled
promptly and that settlement putting an
end to oil qulbbling. According to re-
ports from the Klondike the gold COM
missioner wiecds q power that Is fairly
astonishing. On that he listens to cases
Involving ownership to gold claims. and
renders his decisions promptly. If
there had not been some big mistake in
reports. his decision is final, and the
adjustment that he announces becomes
law that oil interested parties must
abide; by
A case In direct line is that Of Ron
Crawford. formerly clerk of the munlc,
ipl court in this city. "A year ago
Michael Kelly, n well known Seattle
pioneer. went to the Klondike with his
son. Father and son located several
claims on different creeks with the un.
derstanddng that they would share the
proceeds equally The elder Kelly de-
oided to return to Seattle last spring
and left his son on the claim last locat-
ed. 1t was what Is known as No. So
petoW discovery on Bonanza Creek
At that time the KlsndIke was not
known to be bed Of ghttering gold.
Kelly was anxious to return to the
gold fields, but desired to raise money
IN order to leave his family in comfort
able circumstances. He met Ron Craw-
ford and proposed ITO sell him q half
interest In his claim for $1,000. Crany-
ford hustled around, mortgaged his
property. disposed Of his jeweelry, and
by talking some friends In with him.
got money enough to pay Kelly the
1000 Crawford went to the Klondike
last spring and to his dismay found that
young Kelly, not knowing what his TO-
ther had done, had sold the Bonanza
claim to an English syndicate for
$4,000.
When the elder Kelly found out what
had taken place, he said that Crawford
had made his purchase In good faith
and mat his rights must be protected
The affair was referred TO the gold COM
missioner. who decided that Crawford
and his associates were to have half of
the claim, but that they must pay to the
English syndicate 81 500 out Of the first
cleanup. while the Kellys should re-
turn to the English syndicate S., 900, or
half the original purchase price paid
by them to young Kelly.
This decision was accepted by all par
ties without murmur, and that is how
n tansle was settled in one day that
would have been source Of endless lit
igation in the United States.
Miners say that Crawford's claim is
worth between $1,000 and $500, 00O
