Missouri did not do much for her yolun-

paid her men nothing. Now some LAWYERS
have discovered in the statutes a provision
that the State shall pay each man a boun-

pay, say $50 per man.

In argument my Populist friend sell
dom knows when he is beaten. He had
chafed sorely over his gentle wife's re-
minder of the vivid contrast presented
by the facts of history and the dismal
foreshadowings of the calamity
ers whose lead he had followed for sew
eral years past. She had, you will re-
member, in the last conversation point
ed out the splendid achievements OF Il
great nation in the war just closed, and
the splendid outlook for progress ana
humanity growing out of those achieve
ments, and had asked him how he rec
onciled these things with the declara-
ton of the Populist platform:
"We meet in the midst Of a nation
brought to the verge of moral, materi-
al and political ruin
And when he had apolOgiZed for this
ridiculous asseyeration as among the
first utterances of Il new party six
years ago, the good wife reminded
him of something more recent in the
same line, when, only two years ago,
he had carried banner which declared
that "a vote for Mckinley means %
cents bushel for wheat and 10 cents
a bushel for corn"
SO my Populist friend had retired
from the controversy hurt and humili-
ated But he had been thinking of
things over night and the next day he
sought to recover some of his lost
ground. Tell me-" he cried, pointing
his finger scornfully at his wife, ''Tell
me, if you can, what Mckinley has to

AT:BEEFSTEAK JOHNS.
A New York Restaurant Keeper Pun
ishes a Beat.

New York, Aug. 8.-The practice of
eating a meal in a ixth avenue res
taurant and then running out without
paying seems to be spreading. Today a
giant gorged himself in "Beefsteak
Johns and when the waiter brought
the check the gluttOn waved him away
and observed in impressive tones:
Forget it and remember the Maine
This was more than the proprietor
could stand and he gave the signal
The walters armed themselves with
bungstarters, clubs, soup ladies', stove
lifters and chairs and closed in on the
meal beat" The tables were upset
and dishes and food fractured, but in
the end the worst wreck was the man
who hadn't the price. I knew I'd lose
about $25 in damaged stuff said Mr..
B. John as he surveyed the ruin,
but the fashion of paying for meals
must not be allowed to go out" There's
no danger of such a change coming over
life as it f1ourishes on Sixth avenue.

JACKIES IN CLOVER.
Crew of the BattIeship Texas Doing a
Rushing Business Selling
Souvenirs

New York, Aug. 8.-The tackles of
the battleship Texas, which is the sight
of the town just now, are simply coin
ing money. Souvenir seekers are flock
ing to the navy yard, and they fall an
easy prey to the palaver of the brave
boys in blue, nearly every one of whom
is doing a rushing business in the trophy
selling line. Nearly all the relics Of
fered for good American money were
taken from the Sunken ships of
Cervera's fleet. The visitors buy readily,
and nearly everything in sight, and
when the tarS get shore leave they are
counting on a good time. For the
present, at least, all the trophies are
genuine, although some suspicion has
been aroused when the more common
parts of a ships equipment are offered
for sale, such as a piece of rope or
cable or a bolt. These sell readily for
10 and % cents, and while the sale is
not cOuntenanced by the officers, the
sailors have no trouble in taking Wis
itors to one side and dispOsing of their
wares. The most eagerly sOught-for
trophy, and one generally bought, is in
the shape of Spanish coins, a number
of which were secured by the sailors
from the Maria Teresa One sailor has
1000 five peseta pieces. Most of them
show SIGNS of the fierce heat they have
passed through, and those burned the
blacklist command the highest price.
The quotation today was 81, and 1t
would be hard to say how many hum
dred have been sold. Some of the more
extensive trophies are in the shape of
watches, both silver and gold, taken
from the Spanish ships, medals and
orders found in the officers cabin. one
jackie has a silver chain purse contain
ing a number of silver and gold pieces
ali melted together and forming a most
interesting relic. He is holding 1t for
the highest bidder. All the good things
in this war seem to be coming Jacks

The patriarchal beard of one of the
oldest inhabitants" Of Conshohocken
Is still in its accustomed place upon
his chin, but it looks very moth eaten
and ragged. This is due to the fact
that the old man is extremely near
sighted. To see an object plainly he
is compelled to get his optics within a
few inches Of it. The other day,
while pottering around his house, the
old man undertook to repair the picket
fence around the yard. Many of the
palings had been knocked off, and
those it was his purpose to replace.
He armed himself with hammer and
nails and started in. He got his first
paling in place, and with much labor
succeeded in fastening 1t there. But
this was not all. When he started
to move on to the next break he was
brought up standing with a yell of
pain. He had nailed his whiskers
between the paling and the crossbar.
His yells attracted the attention of his
good wife, who, when she realized the
situation, brought her scissors into
play and released the old man, minus
considerable portion of his beard.
