it, no combination of buyers is going to be allowed to dictate prices at this sale!' With that he suddenly knocked down the property to me.
 No sooner was this done," con- tinued the story teller, than a great uproar of protests arose from the group in the corner. They insisted that they had been given TO chance to bid but the autcioneer stood firm, and, calling me to the platform, re- Quested my name and address and 20 per cent. cash deposit on the $2, 300. By that tune 1 realized, of course, that some extraordinary chance had thrown a fine piece of property into my hands at fraction of it's real value, and l did some quick thinking.
 Then I took a desperate chance. I pushed through the crowd. which was already interested in the next sale and beckoned to a little fat man who had been one of the loudest kick CTS a few moments before. Look here,' said. drawing him aside, do you want to be my silent partner for an hour CT sop What d'you meanY said he. l gave him the truth in a dozen words. Now let me have that $500 deposit money I added, and we'll share the profits, whatever they are.' The little man looked at me shrewdly. This is big joke on all of us,' he said, grinning, and 1 guess I'll risk the deal.' At the same time he counted out $500 and put it ill my hands. Then, to make a long story short, my silent partner offered me 1000 cash for my interest, and as $1 GOO looked about as big as a noun tain at that stage of the game I promptly accepted. That thousand, fortunately placed, gave me the start that has kept me soing ever since
 But what about the eyeglasses did | you say?'
 "Why, the auctioneer, as aft erward learned. was very near l sighted, and On the morning to which I refer he had forgotten his glasses. That was why he mistook my gesture of disayowal for sign of assent, and forced me, in spite of myself, into :. good thing. l never understood the exact true inwardness of the deal, but the facts in the rough were that clique of speculators had formed a combine to keep down prices, but, owing to some misunderstanding failed to bid promptly on the property \ which I secured. The auctioneer was onto the game. and anxious to break it up, hence his precipitancy in knock ing down the lot to yours truly. I heard, later on, that my portly silent partner made Ss,oG0 out of the trans action, but I didn't begrudge him the money. The $500 he gave me on faith that morning was worth fully 1 ten per cent. ninute.'

 s. gard to TrolIy Qustion.
 The town meeting twhich was held last night in the town hall brought about no startling results with regard to the trolley question. No step was taken, but it was decided to leave the matter entirely in the selectmen's hands. The meeting opened promptly at S:15. B. H. Mattoon was first to speak, he offering a motion that they not be allowed to lay their tracks within six feet of the shoulder of the Telford road. More spoke on the sub- iect, some favoring the trolley cross ing on the side and others favoring having them take the middle of the road, providing they widen the road on both sides. Nearly all of the citi- zenS do not wish to destroy our fine drive to Waterbury over the Telford road. It was finally voted to put the matter in the hands of the selectmen, who will look out for the interests of the town.

Sahara Quick sands.

Nothing is too big or too small to es- cape the maw of our hungry globe. Quicksands are the traps she spreads for smaller fry. Probably the worst and most dangerous in the world are the "Shotts" of the Sahara. These are perhaps the dregs of some historic sea. Now they are covered over with thick crust of salt and sand. Whole cara vans have walked unconsciously into these. death traps and been quickly swallowed up. Retlus, the great French authority, declares you can sound these quicllsands to a depth of 300 fact without finding bottom.-N. Y. Sun.

ACOUSTICS NOT WANTED.

In little town upon Red River
the Baptists were planning to
build new house of worship.
They were hanging fire on the adj
visibility of purchasing the house
owned by another denomination
in the town. In the called meet
ing Of the church the price was
put before the people. just at
this juncture a brother objected
to the purchase because the ac-
coustics were not good. Iii an in
slant old Bro. f. was on his feet
and piped out: Let 'em keep their
acoustics; we don't want 'em
nohow. We can take the building
without them things an, hit will
come cheaper for us. That set
tied it and the Baptists did not
make their purchase. That other
denomination owns both the house
and the acoustics to this good day
