The soda clerk was polishing up the
nickle IacingS on the fountain when Il
nervous step on the floor caused him
to turn \ short. Stu,npy man with q
very round and very red face stood
before him. They eyed each other for
just three seconds before the clerk made
Up his mind that there was something
peculiar going to be done or said right
there on the spot.
The short, stumpy man smiled a gen
ial. wholesome. reassuring smile and
the suspicion that had nOnlentarily
rested With the clerk was about To pass
away from him like the memory of IL
pug nosed. plain looking girl when the
customer threw back his head clutched
the edge of the marble slab with both
hands and gasped:
Gimme :, kuk -kuk-kuk-"
Hi there!" yelled the soda clerk to
the prescription clerk. hurry down
here; quick, and he stared helplessly
at the man in front of the soda foun-
tain. whose features We're twisting and
turning in Il series OF contortions most
horrible to look upon. While the lips and
vocal ORGANISM were evidently being
strained to their utmost by the unfor-
tunate man in an attempt to artculate
What's the matter?" asked the pre-
scription clerk Of the soda clerk as he
| reached that frightened young mans
side. The soda clerk, stricken dumb by
the terrors depicted in the contortionS
Of the face before him. pointed at the
short, stumpy man, who. still holding
on the marble slab, managed to cjacu-
late:
Gimme a kuk-kuk kuk- 4 -kuk -ee ee-

The mans choking said the pre-
scription clerk jumping over the count
or and humping him between the
shoulders. Hurry with d chair. Now
hit himwith the palm Of your hand
right below the neck While I hold
him. Hit him hard. Poor fellow!
Harder--hit him harder.
The exclamation came from the pre-
scription clerk. The short stumpy man
had kicked him in the shin. and was
now engaged in punching the breath
out of the soda clerk.
Murder. police yelled the soda
clerk.
Help! help! lunatic!" howed the
prescription clerk. rushing for the door.
and the short. stumpy man, having
iloored the soda clerk. left him with a
parting kick and started for the street.
Two policemen and an excited crowd.
drawn by the cries or the injured men.
intercepted him at the door.
Whats all this about" demanded
ono Of the officers OF the short. stumpy
man. who appeared to be the only one
OF the trio in condition to make an in
tel!igcnt explanation
'Damiino. officer" he replied and the
honest expression on his face was evil
dencc sufficient that he spoke the
truth. "Fa-fa- -fa-f IA fact is. I kuk-

WHEAT OPENS HIGHER, BUT
LATER DECLINES.
Barley Easier for Both Futures
and Spot-Oats Also a Shade
Weaker.

San Francisco Aug. 7th.
At the Call Board the speculative prices
for Wheat opened at a small advance,
but decline in the Chicago market soon
caused weakness at this end. The local
spot quotations were unchanged.
The local Barley market, which firmed
up a little On Saturday, was easier for
both futures and spot lots, owing to
heavy receipts of 1855 centals, ehiSf1y
from the coast. Oats were shade weak
er. Receipts were 1,245 centals. Corn was
weak at the quotations. Receipts were
1900 centals, all Eastern. Receipts of
Rye were 720 centals.
Receipts of Hay for the past As hours
amounted to SI3 tons. a falling off from
the daily average Of last week. The mar
ket continues heavy Receipts of Bran
for 4s hours were 1854 sacks, and of Mid
dlings 9S5 sacks. Prices for both are
steady. Rolled Barley has a. very weak
tone.
The Butter market continues fairly firm
for strictly fancy Creamery and steady
for other grades Cheese is firm at the
lected White Eastern Eggs command
small advance.
