conditions show no important develop
ments, though there is Il stronger under
tone. Sellers are not disposed to give
way to the attacks of buyers, the stocks
on the majority of lines being so reduced
that agents are content TO await an in-
proved demand. Buyers are taking only
what they need for immediate require
ments, and yet the cooler weather has in
erased these needs and tn jobber is feel
ing the effect of better business.

A VORACIOUS CAPRA.


Goat Dined on the Horses Tail - An
Amusing Incident.
Henry Travers and Otto Koop, who
lives few doors away, have long been
the closest of friends. But now they
never speak as they pass by, and it's
all owing to Travers' goat and Hoops
long-talled bay mare. The bay mare
had tail that reached the ground and
the goat an appetite that was indis-
eliminating and only limited by his
ambulatory and reaching powers. But
the horses tail instead OF sweeping the
floor as of yore, is now but a jagged
bunch of hair, fully a foot and half
away from the ground. The facts in
the case are somewhat hazy, but Mr..
Koop says: "My heart is almost brok-.
en-. Why, the tail of that horse was
the best part of it. I wouldn't have
taken $500 for that mare, but now look
at it! That COMPOUNDED goat of Tray
ers' had to come in here and chew off
its tail and disfgure the finest looking
horse in Toledo. Why in heavens
name didn't Travers feed his old billy
goat, so that he would stay at home
instead of trespassing around chewing
up horses tails. It's blamed shame,
and I'm going down town to see law
yer friend of mine and see if I can't
get damages. No, the mare amt much
of runner or trotter, but you just
ought to have. seen that tail I'll kick
a lung out Of that goat if + get "a
chance s.Kick a lung out of my
goat, will he?" indignantly snorted
Mr.. Travers when told what Koop had
said. Gust let him try it. Damages?
Fiddlesticks! How is he to sue me?
I didn't eat the tail. Why doesn't he
keep his stable door shut if he is sc
particular ?''-Toledo News. -s n

after some haggling I bought the lot
for $4-they weighed altogether some
thing under quarter of an ounce. I
was so disarmed by the apparent SIM
plicity of the Indian that I never
thought to examine the nuggets closely
until I reached Port Cortez, and then
it hardly needed second look to see
that they were not gold at all, but evil
IDENTIFY sort Of brass alloy. A few
days later I learned from an engineer
who came down from the Guayape dis
trict that my Indian friend was boast
ing that he had stolen some yellow
composition metal bearing from "a
stamp mill and melted up a fragment
in homemade clay crucible. In that
way he produced his handsome mug
gets. If he had put in the same amount
of labor at the placerss he could easily
have washed out $40 worth Of gold.
That's what I call natural appetite

Now, speaking of champagne, this
is another feature Of the present ex-
hibition-the riotous omnipresence of
the wine list. Not to mention the OPP
era comique scenic effects of the wines
of France exhibit in the old Sale des
Machines, the son of temperance finds
himself running up against fizz at ev-
cry turn. After climbing laboriously,
in diagonal spiral, around the girdle
of the universe on the immense celes-
tial globe, one meets-beyond the
furtherest star-an American bar!
This, by the way, strikes another
keynote of the present exhibition and
it's Midway Plaisance-the instructive
and practically useful character of it's
gayeties. 1t is globe within a globe,
the inner one and much, the smaller
being our earth. Many have asked
why the heavens are represented by a
globe. If you were inside it you
would perceive, not convex globe,
but a concave heavenly vault lit up on
every side, above, below, with stars.

ALICIA'S EXPERIMENT,

/. Alicia ellington was 26 years old,
and she had never received an offer OF
marriage nor had a lover. Her two
younger sisters were both happily
married Gertrude to- a young man
who had adored her from childhood,
and Lottie to an elderly widower who
had fallen in love with her at her
coming-out party. Gertrude had re-
fused three offers before marrying
John Nelson; Lottie, who was born
q coquette, had received homage from

marry him, of course, but will have
him desperately in love with me, so
