He Didn't Rite.

II never can tell a story and have it
come out all right" said a little wo-
man plaintively the other day. II
thought had such a good one not long
ago. | was walking along and heard
one street boy say to another, ooh,
you go buy 10 cents worth of potash
What forY says No. 2. For 10 cents
yelled the other, and ran off giggling.
81 thought it was pretty good, and
I'd try it on Charlie at supper. But
when l told him TO go buy 10 cents
worth Of potash he never said a word,
and l knew another joke had fallen
fiat and kept still. But the worst was
later. He put on his hat and vanished
after supper, coming back in a minute
with little parcel that he handed to
me.
Whats thatT asked l.
"'Why, the potash you said you
wanted answered he and l nearly
had Mysteries on the spot. Did you
ever hear anything so perfectly awful?
l won't ever try to get off anything
funny again."
And the little woman sighed as she
walked away.-Cleveland Plain Deal

Plenty of proof that Doan's Ointment
will cure piles, eczema, or any itchiness
of the skin. Read the testimonial of a
Battle Creek citizen:
Mr.. A. G.. Ayers, Book Binder, of 1917
West Main street, Battle Creek, says:
"My hands became so sore from eczema
that it was with difficulty l could bend
my fingers. The skin cracked open,
large scabs formed, and in addition to
the spots being tender they itched in
tolerably. / tried everything / could
hear about or get hold of to stop the
trouble, but / was unable to do so
until / procured Doan's Ointment. |
had heard it spoken about by several
people, but as / thought it would act
like all the other preparations which /
tried / waited some time until / was
compelled from the condition of my
hands to do something. Doan's Oint-
ment cured me. Up to date, and this
is some months after / stopped the
treatment, have had no indication of
any return"

The CLOVIS thus far secured by the Sc

A Filipino General Is Willing to
Betray His Country.
Messages purporting to come from
Gen. Pillar offering to surrender his army
and to deliver Aguinaldo into the hands
of the Americans have been received by
Gen. Otis. For $250,000 he offers to sur.
render his men after n sham battle; de-
mands $4,000 to refrain from attacking
Manila, and offers to procure the over
throw of the insurrection and the cap
ture of Aguinaldo and other leaders for
$500,OO0. Pillar is believed to be in the
vicinity of San Mateo valley with about
1000 men. Reports from the enemy's
lines are to the effect that Pillar con-
templates a dash through the American
lines into Manila for the purpose of kid
naping Gen. Otis.
The pursuit of Aguinaldo is on in earn
est. Gen. Lawton began his northern
movement from Arayat Tuesday night at
midnight, when battalion of the Twen-
ty-second infantry under Maj. Balance,
assisted by Maccabebe scouts, advanced
and crossed the Pampanga river, march
ing in the direction of San Isdro. Agui-
naldo is reported to be at Tariac with
a strong force, of which he Is said to be
in personal command.
The Americans are handicapped by in
adequate transportation facilities. Sup
plies were to have been brought up the
Rio Grande to San Isidro as base, but
the river is fast dwindling to a shallow
stream. Horses and mules will have to
be employed, and these are scarce. Law
ton commands an effective force of 1000
men, consisting of the Twenty-fourth in
fantry, two battalions of the Twenty-sec-
ond 600 of the Fourth cavalry, mount
ed and disnounted, one company of the
Thirty-seventh infantry, and 200 Macca-
bebe scouts.

ESTIMATE OF YEARS WHEAT.
II seduction of 327, 900, 900 Bushels from
Last Years. Worlds Crop.

In bulletin issued by the Agricultural
Department a careful analysis is given of
the wheat crop of the world for 1S99
based upon the estimates of recognized
conservative authorities. The production
was estimated by the Department of Ag-
riculture in 1893 at 2,907, 700, 900 bushels.
Beerbohm estimates the production the
last season at 2.445, ,000, ,00C bushels, the
Bulletin des Halles at 2,516,0OO, 900 and
the Hungarian minister of agriculture at
from 9, 2,453, COCOON to 2,477 100000 bush
els.
In a carefully tabulated statement it is
shown that these estimates do not cover
the same field; that some of them include
countries omitted by others. Setting
aside minor differences and taking the
countries which are included in all four
of the estimates the following result is
obtained: Estimate of Department OF Ag-
riculture, 1898, 2,T9S, 100000 bushels; es-
innate Beerbohm's Corn-Trade List,
1899, 1888. 100000 bushels; estimate Bull
letin des Halles. 1899, 2.4S9, ,000, 600 bush
els; estimate Hungarian ministry, 1899,
2,453, 100000 to 2,477 100000.
1t has already been seen by the report
of the Agricultural Department that sup
plenenllng the eStlHaleS lot 1ooo ny the
additions for omitted countries which are
included in the estimate of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for 1898 and then
comparing the latter with the mean of
the three estimates as so modified, we
get 327 600, 900 bushels as the quantity
by which this years wheat crop falls be-
low that Of last year. On the whole a
reduction Of more than 300, 900, 600 bush
els is pretty safely inferred, and it would
