JOSEPH LETTER.
Joseph Letter, Junior, sunk in wheat up
to his neck
Got out when Letter, Senior, sent five mil
lions in a check.
Lyrics of the wheat pit

Joe" Letter held on to his wheat a
whole year. Then there was a new crop.
Young Letter felt no pressing need for
more wheat Neither did his father,
who was pressed by his son to have some.
The general public was satisfied with the
low that which young Letter had paid for
the old crop, for which nobody now seem
ed to have any use. Father and son
paused to think it over.
During the year just passed Letter ST.
had seen his bright young son q winner in
wheat in the amount of over 100000 In
his pride he neglected to advise the boy
to take his profit and quit. AS for the
son, he remembered the great corner
engineered by "Old Hutch who sold at
his own price fnally-$1.50 This made
him greedy.
Letter Sr. was further influenced to ST.
lence by the fact that his ancient enemy
r. ID. Armour-he of embalmed beef-waS
being squeezed-hard
For fully six months young Letter was
ha1Ied as the only man who had ever got
r. II. Armour where he could do what he
pleased with him. Accordingly, the youth
was SO pleased that he kept right on ap-
plying the torture-putting up the price
while Armour was still short-withouf
noting the ominous fact that Armour wa q
utter1ng no groans Of anguish
The elder Letter, similarly pleased and
equally needless kept his sons bank ac-
count away up in the millions
They were not agricultural folks, these
Letters. They took only casual note Of
newspaper reports that the farmers in the
Northwest were blowing and sowing the
shining grain as usual.
This brings the history down to the time
when the younger Letter requested his
father to say whether he would buy all
Mr.. Armour's crop of new wheat or drop
what he had with the consequences Ax-
ceedingly doubtful IN the first place, and

TALE OF TRICKY TRAMP.
He Fooled the Conductor and Got a
Free Ride to Chicago.
Marysville, Mo-, Tribune


Marysville, Mo-, Tribune
Wesley Bales, who is lust hack from q
trip to Chicago, tells a good story which
travelling man he met on his trip told
him Of how a tramp, by working an en-
-tlrely new scheme, succeeded in beating
his way into Chicago on a fast train
The travelling man says that while he
was buying ticket for Chicago at a
station not far from the city. he OBJ
served the tramp in question standing
near him ct the ticket window listening
to the words that passed between him
and the ticket agent. His ticket cost
$65O. After he had sat down in the wait
ing room Of the depot the tramp came
over to him and said:
Are you going to Chicago?'
Yes was the reply.
well, I'm going to Chicago. too. Let
me see your ticket"
The travelling man handed him the
ticket. The tramp glanced over It.
Yes" he said, that is Just like mine
l wonder If that agent gave me the right
change? I gave him $20.' Here he
turned the cardboard over and wrote the
figures on the back of 1t. My ticket
should have cost me the same as yours
(writing $3.50 and the other figures under
performing the operation Of subtrac-
tom YES, he continued, as he handed
back the ticket and turned away, IT
guess that's all right
When the train started the travelling
man was in front coach and the tramp
in rear one. In a few minutes the
conductor came along.
Here" he said, addressing the tramp,
where IS your ticket?"
I've given 1t to you already, was the
response.
mo, you haven't either. I haven't seen
you before"
but I tell you I have given you my
ticket and I can identify 1t. When I
paid the agent did some figuring on the
back of it to see whether he had given
me the right change. If you find among
the tickets which you have taken up one
on the back Of which $3.50 has been sub
tracted from $40, that's NINE
The conductor shoves his hand into his
capacious pocket and draws forth a
bunch Of tickets, the backs Of which he
carefully scrutinizes. Suddenly he stops
and looks closely at one. It is the one
handed to him by the travelling man.
well, I guess this must be your ticket
At least here are the figures / guess
you were right about it,
A red tag is stuck in the hat band of
the tramp who has discovered something
better than tie pass or box car pas
sage.

SLAVES OF SIGNS
TO ALL SORTS OF ODD SU-
PERSTITIONS
oMENs OF EVIL FORTUNE
Black Cats, Broken Mirrors, Green
Curtains and Red Brick Walls
Among the Things Which Give
Prominent Actors and Actresses
the ShiYers = Pet Superstition of
the Late Edwin Booth.

Superstition in the ordinary actor is
not at all surprising, for somehow the
stage breeds belief in luck and omens,
but it is something to marvel at that
Sir Henry Irving and Ellen Terry should
be the slaves of signs. Sir Henrys su-
perstitions are more numerous, COM
monplace and pronounced than Miss Ter
rvs. He will not walk under a ladder,
nor will he cross a funeral procession,
while if he puts a garment on wrong
side out he has the blues for a day or
two It's curious, too, that Daniel
Frohman's only deeply rooted super
stition has to do with the donning of
garment in the wrong way Such a mis-
hap affects him and Irving differently,
for, while the actor changes the gar
ment and worries about. it, the manager
is said to wear it as he puts It on till
the end of the day. believing that thus
he can prevent the coming of the
threatened Ill luck.
Miss Terry's single superstition is
shared by few persons. Apparently she
has no fear of the number 10, nor Of
Friday, nor is she "a believer in the vir-
tues Of the magic number Z But she
stands in awe of the number g. 1t is
her firm conviction that it brings Ill
luck to her invariably, no matter in

Mrs. James Brown Potter probably has
a good stock of stage superstitions by
this time, accumulated in the theaters
Of London and Australia, in which she
has won her greatest successes but
when she was in America she had only
one worth mentioning-that was faith in
the unconscious power of red-haired per-
sons to bring good luck. She had been
partial to sandy-haired servants before
she went on the stage, and after the be-
ginning Of her dramatic career she saw

lowed to sell tickets in the box office
of any theater in which she was play

Rockefeller senior smiled indulgently

serenely on his Standard Oil way, while
his young hopeful opened a grateful ear

Just as young Mr.. Rockefeller conclud-

fog containing a sufficiency of oxygen
than to breathe fog with a deficiency Of
oxygen, as is the case in closed rooms.
