saltwater Bits Revenge.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
A characteristic of the antics of Swift
water BIZ Gates. late of Dawson City,
was told by F. H. Piel. who arrived on the
Al-Ki. PieI sat in the San Francisco shoe
store drawing on a new pair of the latest
style footgear and told the story so nicely
that the telling would be half the story
itself.
Have you ever heard the true story of
eggs in Dawson" asked Piel. Il will tell
you about it. saltwater had been sweet
on a girl at Dawson, one of the prettiest in
town. But she shook him for another fell
low. and saltwater went on the warpath.
One night he sat in a restaurant, and. to
his dismay. his sweetheart came in with
her new fellow and sat down at another
table. saltwater listened and heard the
water shot for the kitchen like a bullet
out of a gun.
How many eggs nave you got?' he
said to the cook.
.Eigh hundred
"'How much are they?
Dollar apiece
18th take EN- all; every ONE
But somebody has just ordered eggs
&c an tell EN- you amt got any.
And thus the deal was closed by which
saltwater got every egg in the house.
Another time his particular enemy came
into the restaurant and Swiftwater Eard
him order duck. saltwater shot for the
kitchen.
How many ducks have you got?'
Only one, and It's just ordered
Don make no difference; how much
you want for it,
Can't sell it to you. sir: it's Sold
Here III give you SIZE. Go tell him you
Again saltwater got in his fine work
saltwater is all right. Married, is he?
That's good. Haw! haw!"

Perfect Understanding.

From the Detroit Free Press.
DO you want my daughter for her
money or for herself?" demanded the old
gentleman.
Its this way stammered the young
man as he tripped backwards over the edge
OF the rug. Il want herself for myself, and
l want her money for herself and 1 want
both of them for ourselves. and you GER
tainly must understand
"Oh. 1 understand. Case is very familiar
to me. A minute from now, unless you
nave disappeared. the current of your life
will be much swifter than it is at present
or ever has BEEN
1t was sleeting that evening. and the
young man left with such scant ceremony
that he t%obogganed from the front porch
to the curb.

Dry Goods.

New York, Feb. R weather and the effect
OF to-morrow's holiday tended to make to-day's mar
ket a quiet one in dry goods. There was no very
marked attempt to boom the market and buyers
were few. 1t is probable that the real beginning OF
the weeks trading will be on Wednesday. The price
tone for cottons remains firm. Slight advances have
been announced in the New York mills wide sheet
ings and some other lines. The demand Is still re-
strained. Converters still figure quite prominently
in the market and are more liberal In their bids.
Print cloths remain fairly active Cd all odd goods.
Prints are fairly active at strong prices.
