His Plan.

almanac agent cut west, 9TH take
a thousand Of yer almanicks if yer'll
sell 'em to me cheap"
"An right All rightr' almost
shouted the agent, jumping at the
chance of his life and wondering
what in the world the man wanted
with so many almanacs.
Eyer see," continued the man, II
had one Of yer almanicks last year
and every time the almanick said
one thing ! knew it would be the
other way, SO I raised a powerful
good crop. What calculate on is
to distribute the almanicks through
the country so the people will raise
their crops by them, and I'll put in
whopper Of a crop and go ag'in the
almanick. Then them folks will
fail in their crops and I'll have a
good crop and sell it at my own
price"
The agent came near collapsing
then, but sold the almanacs and
heard the farmer say: Much

An Unfair ADVANTAGE.

DR.. Lasker, the great chess player,
when in London is in the habit Of
occasionally visiting certain res
taurant in the city well known to
many chess devotees. On one Of
these occasions, just prior to his de,
parture for st. Petersburg to play
DR.. Steinitz for the championship, a
fussy old gentleman offered to play
him for box Of cigars if he would
concede him the odds Of queen.
The offer was good naturedly ac-
copied. and on Lasker's winning he
became the recipient Of a box of
doubtful looking cigars, which,
however, Inc Ionur averred were OF
good quality.
On visiting the same restaurant
after easily defeating Steinitz Las.
ker happened to meet his late oppo-
nent, who asked him what he had
thought Of the cigars.
First rate, :" replied the cham
pion; lin fact, might almost say
they won me the match.

it," returned the old gentleman,

merry twinkle in his eye, "I gave

"There is no doubt that the trusts
are exercising tremendous powor

piled the man who had como in to

1T is shame and disgrace.
They are forcing down prices so that
it is almost impossible for the small
dealer to mako u living. 1t makes
my blood boil to think Of the wav
in which they stamp out competi-

"How do they go about ita''
why, sir, if they find that some
body's goods are being sold instead
of theirs. they will cut the price of
their commodity so as to bring it
lower than the other firms, and SO
leave him no ground to stand oni
That's where the Dealers profit
goes. Take. for instance, that pack

How much do you want for it

Rat and Earret.

A big rat that made its home un-
der the carnivora house in Central
park was caught in large wire
trap. To kill the rat ferret was
turned into the cage. The battle
that ensued stirred all the sporting
blood in the veins of those who
watched it.
The rat was s inches long and in
the pink Of condition. The ferret
was fat and beefy. The antagonists
eyed each other warily. Then the
rat attacked the ferret. His teeth
were cleverly evaded, and he was
chased into his corner.
Some close infighting followed,
the animals being clinched and
struggling vigorously. The ferret
scored first blood, biting the rat be-
tween the eyes. But the ferret's fat
had begun to tell, and his wind was
almost gone. The rat did not give
him chance to rest and soon had
the blood streaming from q wound
in his side.
The ferret became desperate and
rushed his enemy all over the ring.
A clinch followed with the animals
rolling all over each other, fighting
for death. The ferret suddenly saw
an opening and sank his long Incl
sors In his antagonists throat, shak-
ing him in fury. The rat squealed
in agony and fell dead as the ferret
threw him across the trap and lay
down painting and weak from loss of

"Come here" yelled Dad to the
