s@ A popular and witty minister
on ascending the steps of the church
one Sunday afternoon, saw an old
woman struggling against rheumatics
to reach the top of the steps, and al
once taking her by the arm he gently

she asked him who was to preach
"Oh, Rev. b." be replied, giving bis

TURNING THE TABLES.

An Illinois sheriff was noted for hi:
activity in looking up unlicensed ped
dlers. Taking his walk abroad one
day, he came across an old fello"
whom he at once concluded was ar
illegal trader, and inquired if be hac
got anything to sell.
"Hev got anything to sell, squire ?
was the response. "Guess I hev 60,

ticle you want, I should say, by the
look of your beard. Got Balm O
of Klumby, tew, only dollar bottle

The sheriff bought a bottle of Balm
of Columbia, and then desired to SEE
the Yankees license for peddling.
The document was produced, exam
ined, pronounced genuine and handed
back to its owner.
"I don't know now that I care abou
this stuff" said the disappointed off
cial: "what will you give for it."
"Waal," answered the peddler, 81
don't want it, squire; but, SEEM it's
YOU, I'll give you 81 cents for it,"
The sheriff passed him the bottle
and pocketed the money, when the
peddler said: ,

"No," said the sheriff." 81 haven

I understand the law, sheriff, it's

Thus he turned the tables; and the
sheriff was duly fined for peddling
without license.

service rendered.
The propositions we make herein are
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly y in
the matter. Because an individual re-
turned the name of certain subscriber

~ consider the day that Professor
Tracy suggested to me the training of
monkeys as cotton pickers as the most
fortunate day the south has seen in
many years. 1t means more to the
south than a cotton picking machine for
the monkeys are success as pickers,
while the machines have been failures.
The monkeys are in every way superior
to Negroes as cotton pickers. In the
first place the cost of picking is only
about one-third. Then they are more
careful than Negroes, and pick clean
er grade of cotton. Even in this rainy
fall, when all other cotton was of a
low grade, that picked by the monkeys
was all middling, and sold for at least
one-half cent more than that picked
by the Negroes. Then they will pick
in weather in which you can't get
niger in the field. In fact, | believe
that it is the greatest discovery that has
been made for the cotton planter since
Whitney discovered the cotton gin.
People laughed at me at first when l
tried this thing, as they always do
when a man tries anything new but
now that it has proved success all my
ncighbors are wild about it. The
Negroes have made repeated threats to
xiii the monkeys; but as yet they have
not done so, and | apprehend no very
great danger in this direction"
In closing Mr.. Mangum said: "4ou

south that it is a grand success, and
and that next June shall make Il

parents emigrated to America when he
was six years old. and finally settled
in Iowa, in 1S49. He was educated in
public schools and at the Upper Iowa
University. Subsequently he studied
law and was admitted 10 the Bar in
1865. Meantime he had enlisted in the
army. in 1861. as a private. He was
wounded several times and lost leg,
but entered the army again upon his
recovery as colonel of the Forty-sixth
Iowa infantry. and remained with his
regiment till the close of the war.
From 1865 until 1896 he was collector
of internal revenue for the Third dis
trict of Iowa, reSigning his position
to become a member of a law firm in
Dubuque. For about two years he
was Assistant United States District
Attorney for the northern division of
the district of Iowa. which position he
resigned in 1871.
For the last sixteen years he has
served in Congress continuously, and
almost from his first term has taken
an active part in the business of the
House. The most important piece of
legislation with which NJ. Henderson
has been chiefly associated in recent
years is the Bankruptcy law, which he.
as chairman of the Judiciary Commit

House. He advocated the bill for the
election of Senators by the people. and
