The Undoing of Caesar,

One day when Caesar was leaning up
against a wooden Indian in front of Bru-
tus' cigar store, half way between the
Forum and the Republican central com
mittee headquarters, he was accosted by
a bunko steerer with a green grip and the
finest set of lilacs that ever split the
breeze, says the Bismarck Tribune
Hello" said the bunko steerer, "haven' t
1 seen you before?"
Il don't think you have, 10 Jo,' said
Caesar, who was dead on. Il never was
in the penitentiary myself, and if 1 ever
saw you outside of the bastile it's a
mighty good thing for you l wasn't a
policeman. You look a good deal like a
local option sentiment in a German vii
lage. How much will you take for a slip
from that foliage plant on your face to
seed my lawn with?" Caesar was one of
the greatest joshers in Rome at the time,
and it tickled him to guy the rube al
though he sawed his graft all the while.
The bunko man pretended not to notice
that he was a joshmark and dropped his
grip on the sidewalk. "Ain't you Polo
MUS Appleseedus, from over at Pompey's
Crossing?" he asked He didn't know
Caesar from a fever blister, but he thought
he might make the graft stick.
Caesar enjoyed the whole thing more
than a Judy show. Not on your little
red shawl" he said. Il am the iceman.
You're on the wrong sidetrack, uncle.
You'd better consult an oculist. Here S
an egg that some chicken laid in your
hair he said, handing the bunko man
an egg that he carried around to use in
sleight-of-hand tricks that he frequently
did for the boys.
The bunko man saw that he had struck
a dead game sport and passed on. Gaze

Brutus laughed fit to kill, and put an

box.
while you were jollying the easy

was so.
History does not record what he said,
but il was hot stuff.

In Error Al Around.

When a prominent horseman here broke
up his establishment and disposed of GER
tain household goods one article of virtu
was an enormous shield of hammered
brass, says the Louisville Times. 1t was
a costly thing, representing the head of
the famous painter, Van Dyck. This
piece of brass was presented to a gentle
man who has a saloon, and he hung it up
over the bar where everybody could adj
mire it. Not one man in a thousand knew
whose portrait il was, but they all admit
ted that it made quite a show and was
much a credit to the bar as some of the
City Court lawyers. One man went home
and told his wife about the handsome piece
OF bric-a-brae, and laughed immoderately
at the incongruity of having a head of
Van Dyck hung in a saloon. His wife
heard him.
Il guess it is funny she said as she
told a lady next door of the ornament.
THE men are always making game of our
love for dress and running after French
dressmakers and milliners, but they don t
mind spending $50 for a picture of one of
them. Think of it, giving $50 lat least
the man who made the present gave that
for iO for a picture of the dressmaker who
invented those Van Dyck fiounces.'
And it was a fearful piece of extrava-
ganCe, too
