Won Bibber's Recognition.

Among the stories told by the eloquent
and entertaining Colonel ''Pat" Dyer on
his republican campaigning tour through
out Missouri is the following, the point
of which is obvious: Down in Boone
county, Missouri, several years ago there
lived a noted character by the name of
Van Bibber. He had some very strange
theories, and one Of them was that every
thousand years history repeated itself,
and that the things that happened one
day in thousand years from that date
would happen again. He preached this
doctrine in season and out OF season, but
he could never make many converts in
his neighborhood. One evening about
dusk three travellers on horseback drew
rein in front OF his house and asked for
accommodations for the night, which
We're readily granted, Van Bibber being
one OF the most hospitable OF men. Al
ter supper Van Bibber commenced to
air his favorite theory He told the
men that one thousand years from that
day they would again ride up to his
humble dwelling and ask for shelter,
and that they would be riding the same
horses that they now had. He asked
his guests what they thought OF his
doctrine. They informed him that they
would have to sleep over it, as it was
something entirely new to them. The
next morning about the first question
Van Bibber asked his guests was what
they thought This thousand-year theory.
The spokesman OF the party said; I'VE
believe you are right, and have become
converts to your way Of thinking"
81 thought you would, !" replied Van
Bibber, rubbing his hands with glee
"Now," continued the first speaker,
''we have come a great distance and we
have many long, weary miles to traverse
before we reach our destination. To tell
you the truth, Mr.. Van Bibber, we are
short OF money, and ii it is just the
same t. you we will pay you for our
nights lodging when we return in a
thousand years from now" "Let me
see, said Van Bibber, cycling the three
men very closely: Il think you are the
same - rascals that stopped here a
thousand years ago and refused to pay.
Your credit is bad and | will collect
now. kansas City Journal.

The latest complaint made against the
trusts is by stockmen, and they are
kicking vigorously against the salt trust.
The price of stock salt has been advanced,
since Mckinley's election, from 1915
per ton to 50. This salt is evaporated
from sea water, and the stockmen insist
that there has been no change in the
quantity of sea water OF late and no
reason for putting the consumers in such
pickle.
