A Tale of New York.

It is not likely that the Continental
hotel, New York, will in the near future

business men of Butte. II. r. Bartlett
OF the Bee Hive store and one of the
most successful merchants of the state,
stopped at the Continental three weeks
and paid his bill at the end of that time.
His departure was postponed two days
beyond that time, and when on the
morning Of the third day he went to the
office to settle the remaining account,
he discovered his purse, containing $25.
had been stolen from his pants pocket.
He had counted the money on retiring
the night before AS the lock of the
door was out Of order, he was compelled
to take a chance. He took it and lost.
1t was Saturday morning. He had
signed his limited ticket for the 8 o'clock
train and had an engagement in Chi
cago the next night. TO remain a day
longer meant the loss of his ticket and
a broken engagement. He sent for the
landlord and told him how it happened
and asked him to cash a $25 draft But
the landlord look suspicious and de-
clined to come to the rescue, even to the
extent of the money stolen in his own
house. So Mr. Bartlett, who handles
thousands of dollars daily, had to travel
from New York to Chicago on a dollar
and six bits and an empty stomach. He
had but one meal on the way, and other
incidental expenses left him an even
nickel when he reached the Windy City
On that he rode to the Auditorium like
lord and took Sc room. But he will
not go to the Continental hotel in New
York again unless accompanied by a
policeman, six-shOoter and paddock.

SAVE THE Hay.

Farmers in the South should make
and save all the hay they can this
season. 1t is evident that in the West
the hay crop is going to be short
one. And there will not be such an
abundance of corn as there usually is.
Corn and hay will both command
high price in the near future.
The South is a good customer of the
West for both hay and corn. For all
they buy Of these crops from this time
until the corn and hay harvest next
year they will have TO pay high prices.
The agricultural commissioners of the
different states of the Middle West
which are afflicted by the drought, are
telling the farmers to save all the hay
they can and to sow for another hay
crop this year. They see that hard
times are ahead for the drought az
ficted section of the West.
The West will have very little, If
any. hay for the South this year. If
it consents TO part with any of it's
hay it will be because it will be Of
fered an extraordinarily high price for
it. But there is no good reason why
the South should continue to be de-
pendent on the West for hay, or even
for corn. 1t can produce all it wants
of both of these products. In order to
do so, however, it must give more at
tention to them.
Savannah gets large amount of hay
from the West. And yet there are ma
tive grasses in this county which make
excellent hay. Every farmer in the
vicinity of this city should save all
the hay he can gather on his farm. 1t
will pay him to do SO. Unless all signs
fail the price of hay is going to be
so high that comparatively few will
be able to pay it-that is the price
of Western hay. They will turn nat
urally to the home supply. If that is
ample it is probable that the price of
hay in this immediate locality will not
advance a great deal, but there will
be a market at a good price for all
that will be grown in this section of the
state.
great many Southern farmers think
it small business to cut the grass from
their wheat fields or potato patches for
the purpose of making hay of it, but,
If the Western drought turns out to be
as bad as it now promises to be, they
will think that the hay business is a
pretty big one.

Mr.. D., of Boston, a devotee of the
wheel, was not long ago visiting in one
of the small towns of Western Mass
achusetts, says Harper's Magazine. He
was taking a spin about it's streets
shortly after his arrival when he was
run down, as he afterward declared,
by a negro and knocked off his bicy-
Gle. The fall not only ruffied his dig
nifty and his clothes, but broke his
skin and his wheel.
These combined injuries made a
breach in his placidity, and he picked
up stone and threw it with accurate
aim at the colored man and brother

in his arrest and in his conviction in
the local court of justice.

rejoined his honor.
DIS temper was not improved by this
fresh dispensation of justice, where
fore the bitterness of his rejoinder was
plainly apparent.
Conversation seems to come high in
this court he observed.
Five dollars for contempt" prompt
ly responded the bench. Have you
anything more to say?"

ant. You have the advantage of me
in repartee."

about Arundel Castle is that it's owner

there would be no legal obstacle, sup

attended services recently. 1t was the

opportunity to make a lasting impress

his discourse out into unwarranted
length.

to him and shouted, Has the $3.50 train
pulled out?"
