A "White Elephant"

In a Third Avenue hardware store far in the rear and hid behind a petition Hangs a "three-ball sign" The tin balls have not been painted but are covered with several layers of dust. The proprie- tor was asked why the sign was hidden from the public view, and for what pur- pose it was made "Well,' he explained, that was originally made for pawn broker, but the scoundrel never came for it, and I have had it ever since. It is a great big elephant on my hand and a dead loss.I can't hang it out in front or display 1t inside the store for fear cus- toners will think we are in the "shyloek'' business and promptly take their trade elsewhere.

from the Buffalo wallows or be gored and trampled
 If In the innocence of his heart he mere ly says No" the crafty Buffalo replies; T will initiate you for Il cents" Beware of that sacred and cabalistic number, eleven. There is a good deal more in it than meets the ear. Yet if you happen to have exactly Il cents, give the Buffalo that and you can make your escape alive. For the great principle of the Buff faloes is to return nothing which they re- ceive. So they must be dangerous fellows to lend money to.
 The Hon. Sol Bloom of Chicago is said to have founded the Buffaloes at San Francisco in 1897. Allow him to describe their high purposes:
 ''The prime principle of the Buffaloes' is never to return anything given to a member, and all members use their left hands for everything. For instance, when a member joins a party of friends and the crowd adjourns to a bar to get liquid refreshments, the one who holds his glass in his right hand has to settle for the drinks. Should a man give me his watch I cannot give 1t back to him, but he may buy it from me by buying refreshments for the crowd. In San Francisco, where the joke started, it was customary to tell friend you would initiate him and tell him all the points of the order for Il cents. But in that part of the country pennies are seldom seen, and it is a hun dred to one shot that he will hand you anything from $5 to $2O, expecting to get liis change-but he doesn't get 1t. He re- ceives the pleasure of being with the

in Birmingham, provided certain citizens will aid him my taking a given amount Of stock, which he assures them will net to the local investors more than per cent per annum. It strikes me that if an outsider has sufficient confidence in Birmingham, to invest his own money to the amount of S209,000 that Birmingham investors might be willing to take the additional sf50.0o0 to secure q $350OO office building with an assured rental of ex- ceeding $500O0 a year. Of course, the ex- penses of maintaining a building of this character are great, but they will not exceed $20,o0o. Therefore, net income of $9O,000 on a SEQ coo investment will assure handsome dividend to stockholders.
 I hope that those who are attempting to finance this scheme will be successful.
 II. H. Kohlsaat of Chicago is not only a bright fellow but great newspaper financier. Kohlsaat started in life a baker. Successful in one bakery, he es- abolished two. Successful in two, he es- abolished many-aIl in Chicago. Success full in all he bought a newspa per-the Herald. He developed the Herald and then bought the Times, consolidating the two into the Times-Herald. The Times Herald made money-much money. The only paper in Chicago making more than the Times-Herald happened to be the Chicago Record. The Record had an af- ternoon edition known as the Chicago News. Both the Record and the News were owned by Victor F Lawson, and Lawson's income from the two properties was said to be something more than a million dollars a year. Lawson, like Car neg1e, began to tire of being active. He desired fixed income without labor. I don't know how many bonds were issued, but it is publicly announced, and it is Q, fact, that the Chicago Times-Herald has enveloped the Record, and 1t is now the Chicago RecordHerald with H. II. Kohl saat editor and president. Victor F. Law son has retired from active business and Frank B. Moves of the Washington Star has become publisher of the new consoli- dated newspaper. I judge Moves, who is young man not exceeding 36 years of age, perhaps, must have invested at least half million dollars in the combined newspaper properties. He may not have subscribed all in cash, but he has evil dently assumed liabilities to this full amount or more.
 Moves was amply able to do it. He, his father and Victor Kaufman own the Washington Star an afternoon newspa-

The JOYS of Ocean Travel.

Lewis Cofiield really has one of the
hardest stories of the campaign in the
Philippines that any of the boys tell.
He was in the hospital run down, full
of malaria and apparently goner,
when the Morgan City made its last
trip over to Frisco. He was put
aboard with the cheerful advice from
the doctor that the change would most
likely either kill or cure him. A few
days out of the Inland Sea and the
old tub, which actually foundered on
the return trip to the orient, struck u
heavy storm and was buffeted and
tumbled by the waves. At this time
Lewis was getting rid of his malaria
by the boil route and he had them
promiscuously over his person. For
four days he lay in his bunk and
tried to sleep, but no sooner did he
drop off than over went the ship and
Lewis rolled against the side and
bumped boil. He made enemies of
every soul on board because he in
variably let out whoop like a Co.
manche when this happened, and for
four days it happened about every
two minutes. Then he got over the
boils and got we'll

Who Were The Ladies

Humboldt Union: Two young
ladies from Humboldt went to lola
Monday. They bought round trip
tickets, expecting to come home on the
local freight that is due at Humboldt
about five O'Clock. After doing a
little shopping and viewing the sights
of the town they started to the depot
but were told by Joe Mckinley that
there was no local freight south at
that time of day on Monday.
They made an Invoice of their cash
they had left and they had one dol.
lar-iust enough to pay for their sup
pers and lodging at dollar per day
hotel. So they hied themselves away
to a hotel, ate their suppers and went
to their room, leaving orders to be
called for the south bound passenger.
About this time it occurred to one of
them that they had better inquire
what their bill would be, so they cal
led the porter, who promptly informed
them that it would be two dollars.
Holy Moses! You should have seen
the hair rise up on their heads. Wis
ions of the police and the lock up
arose up in their minds. Not a wink
did they sleep that night but sat on
the side of the bed devising ''ways
and means to get out of the scrape.
One of them suggested that they slip
out of the hotel and walk home. The
other thought they could pawn their
trinkets for the extra dollar.
When the porter went up to call
them they were sitting on the side of
the bed singing "Please Mr.. Conduc-
tor don't put me off the train"
The ladies got home, however.
