From the Washington Star: There's
another case of the man who laughs
last" remarked practical joker the
other day.. pointing to a turnip patch
in front of a private residence.
II don't understand where the laugh
comes in, admitted the listener.
"Of course, you don't, but I do, and
the laugh is on me. thought was
playing, joke on my friend, who occu-
pies the house, but he has the turnips
and have to buy mine Some time
ago he wanted grass and clover seed to
plant in front Of his house, and like
many other people he thought the agri
cultural department supply would
make a better showing than any he
could buy in store. / volunteered to
get the seed, and / concluded would
put up job on him.
and couldn't he tell the difference
between seed for turnips and seed for
grass?" interrupted the nearer.
He thought there was something
about the seed that was not exactly
right, but, not being farmer, he was
not certain. told him the seed had
been brought from the Philippines, and
he expected to see something in the
grass line different from any he had
ever seen before. Soon after the seed
had sprouted and the little sheaves
showed themselves my friends suspi-
cfons were aroused, and he made in
quiries about the neighborhood. None
of his neighbors could tell what was
growing on his parking and persist
ed in telling him what beautiful
grass plot he would have some day
The time finally came when the tur-
nips could be seen, and my friend en-.
joyed the joke
"And, of course, you also enjoyed
it?" the joker was asked.
mot much" he answered, tsfor am
now buying some of the turnips a,
least twice week when I might jusl
as well have had them in my own
yard

RESCUE DEFEATS DEATH.
-Year-Old Boy Found in Cave

Starving.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 19.-Two
weeks ago man was found in a cave
at Corlett, six miles west of Cheyenne
emaciated, starving and portions of his
body rotting away. He was brought to
a Cheyenne hospital and today re-
gained consciousness.
He says his name is James McLerne
of Chicago, and that he is only eight
cen years old, although he looks at
least forty years of age. His father
and mother reside on South Clark
street, Chicago, and the boy says he
left there three months ago and went
to Idaho to work on railroad.
Failing i'll, he started for home and
got as far as Corlett when he. crawled
into the cave. He laid there three days
and, realizing that he was. dying, at
weak and fell back into the cavern,
where he laid two days longer before
losing consciousness.
He says he thinks he became uncon-
scious on Monday, and as he was not
found until Saturday, he must have
lain in the cave at least IL days, and
all this time without food or water.
When he left Idaho, McI.erne
weighed 27O pounds, but now he does
not weigh 80 pounds. He is taking
nourishment, and the physicians say
he will recover. 1t may not be neces-
sary to amputate his feet and hands
which were beginning to decay when
McLerne was found

Steals His neart and $500.

Chicago, Nov. 2O.-F'rcd Specht, who
came to Chicago from Nebraska with
500, expecting to return with wife,
has started suit in attachment in the
circuit court against any possible prop
erty which his intended wife may own.
At present he has neither the $500 nor
the wife, and has been unable to find
any of her property. Specht says that
in July OF this year an advertisement
was inserted in his home paper by a
person signing the name Of Marie
Belinger and offering to marry the
man who would loan her $500 to pay
off a second mortgage on a $4,000 house
and lot which she claimed to own. He
came to Chicago and visited her at
her home in Englewood Oct. l. He
believed that everything was arranged
for the marriage and gave her $500 to
pay off the mortgage. They were to
start for Nebraska the next day and
be married. He went to the Prince
ION hotel in Englewood to meet her,
as agreed upon His sweetheart, he
earned later, had left early in the
morning. He says that he has been
,aable to find out anything regarding
ler whereabouts.

Two Generals Nnar Death.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 2O.-Two of the
tx surviving confederate generals in
kentucky are reported to be at DEATH 8
ioor. They are Brigadier General
Thomas H. Taylor and Brigadier Cen
,ral w. F. Perry. General Taylor is
at his residence, 9O1 Third street,
Louisville, and it is feared be can sur
i've but few days. General Perry is
n a critical condition at Bowling
Green, the result Of a fall in con-
vulsion. General Taylor was col
3nel in the Mexican war and in the
civil war he was brigadier in the
army of Northern Virginia, where he
achieved a splendid record.

CHATTER ON WEYLER,s BRAC.
Say. weyler Evidently Talked for an,


Eject.
San Francisco, Nov. 19.--Gen. Shat
Ter, when asked to comment on Gen.
Weyler's criticism of the Spanish con-
duct OF the war in Cuba, was not in
flined to take Weyler's assertions seri-
ously. He said that evidently Weyler
was talking for effect, as every MILL
tary man knew that the Spaniards in
Cuba, without the aid Of fleet to pre-
vent the landing of invaders in any re-
CURED number, could not have held tho
island against the Americans. Gen.
| Shafter added:
Il do not care to speak of General
Weyler's record in Cuba, or whether or
not he has received unjust censure.
ut is very we'll known that the force
of Spain in Cuba outnumbered by sew
eral times the force landed for the re-
duction of Santiago, but there were but
few available to operate against the
American troops.
Had the 21,000 troops stationed at
other points not far from Santiago
promptly moved to the attack of the
Fifth army corps the difficulties of tho
Americans would have been greatly
increased but do not think they could
have been driven into the sea.
ut is possible, however, that If these
troops had co-operated with the 5000
that did re-enforce the troops of San
tiago on the night of July 2, in making
vigorous attack, they might have
placed the American army on the de.
fensive for a few days, but the ulti-
mate capture of Santiago could only
have been delayed Gen. Linares' tele-
grams to his government as to the
condition of affairs clearly indicate
this.
THAT the fleet was necessary for the
preservation of Spanish possession Of
Cuba was clearly shown by the fact
that Immediately after it's destruction
and the surrender of $4,000 of the $780,
900 soldiers then in Cuba, overtures
for peace were commenced, the island
being then absolutely at the mercy OF
the American army and navy.
Results are more conclusive than
theories, and what Gen. Weyler might
or might not have done is matter
which appears to be of very little in
terest at this time"

long ago. When they reached the
bustling city they were approached by
respectable-looking individual who
offered for modest consideration to
convey their trunk to the hotel. Never
dreaming that confidence man might
be hidden beneath such simpls exte-
rior, the husband closed the bargain
and the company wendell their way to
the hotel.
There they waited and waited for the
trunk which never came. Finally the
husband proceeded to the railway sta

the officials. The claimant remarked
that he had the key in his pocket
Wasn't that proof enough? The off,
Gals shook their heads. There were
keys and keys. A key didn't signify
much. What was in the trunk?
The husband asked them to wait a
moment while he sent messenger for
his wife. She would know the contents

The lady soon appeared and the hus-
band stated the case to her and tossed
the key to the waiting officials.

trunk, my DEAR" he said.

Yes, my dear: You can tell just ex-
actly what's in it because you packed
it,"
"of course can." she cried. "Let
NE see. Why, there's-there's," her
face frightened, there's my best haiti"
And even the sober Canadians
cracked frosty smile at this remark
