The Magnificent Revenge of n Gov
ernor of Missouri.
While Robert Stewart was governor
Of Missouri a steamboat man was
brought in from the p~enitentiary as ar
applicant FOR a pardon. He was q large
powerful fellow, and when the govern
or looked at him he seemed strangely
affected. He scrutinized him long anG
closely. Finally he signed the docu-
ment that restored the prisoner to lib
erty. Before be handed it to him he
said, "You will commit some other
crime and be in the p%enitentiary again
I fear"
The man solemnly promised that he
would not. The governor looked doubt.

"You will go back on the river and
be a mate again, l SUPPOSED"
The man replied that he would.
"Well, I want you to promise me one
thing" resumed the governor. Il want
you to pledge your word that when you
billet Of wood in your hand and drive
a sick boy out of a bunk to help you
load your boat on a stormy night"
The steamboat man said he would
not and inquired what the governor
meant by asking him such a question.
The governor replied: Because some
day that boy may become a governor
and you may want him to pardon you
for a crime. One dark, stormy night
many years ago, you stopped your boat
On the Mississippi river to take on q
load Of wood. There vas a boy OF
board who was working his passage
from New Orleans to st. Louis, but he
was very sick Of fever and was lying in
a bunk. You had plenty Of men to dc
the work, but you went to that boy
with a stick Of wood in your hand and
drove him with blows and curses out
into the wretched night and kept him
toiling like q. slave until the loau was
completed. I was that boy. Here is
your pardon. Never again be guilty OF
such brutality"
The man, covering and hiding his
face, went out without a word.
What a noble revenge that was an6
what a lesson to a bully!-Success.

A TRICK,
Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest
and Had His Debts Paid.

Ruse by Which He Escaped Arrest
and Had His Debt Paid.
Many amusing stories are told Of Joe
Haines, a comedian of the time of
Charles H., sometimes called Count"
Haines. 1t is said that he was arrested
n morning by two bailiffs for a debt
of EGO, when he saw q bishop 10 whom
he was related passing along in his
coach. With ready he imme-
diately saw a loophole for escape, and,
turning to the men, he said, LET me
speak to his lordship, to whom l am
well known, and be will pay the debt
and your charges into the bargain"
The bailiffs thought they might ven.
ture this, as they We're within two OF
three yards of the coach, and acceded
to the request. Joe boldly advanced
and took off his hat to the bishop. His
lordship ordered the coach to stop,
when Joe whispered to the divine that
the two men were suffering from such
scruples Of conscience that he feared
they would hang themselves. suggest
ing that his lordship should invite them
to his house and promise to satisfy
them. The bishop agreed, and, calling
to the bailiffs, he said, you two mer
come to me tomorrow morning, and ]
will satisfy you"
The men bowed and went away
pleased, and early the next day waited
on his lordshiD. who, when they were
ushered in, said, "Well, my men, what
are these scruIles of conscienceY
"scruples" replied one Of them. 1--WE
have no scruplas! We are bailiffs, my
lord, who yesterday arrested your cou.
sin, Joe Haines, for a debt Of EGO, and
your lordship Indy promised to salts
fy us" 5a
The trick was strange, but the. result
was stranger, for his lordship, either
approaching it's cleverness or consider
ing himself bound by the promise he
had unintentionally given, there and
then settled with the men in full.

hut He Finally Saw 1t.
A party of Englishmen were in Chi
cage sightseeing some time ago. They
were entertained at dinner by some
Chicago Englishmen who have lived in
America long enough to have a keen
appreciation of the American idea of a
joke. During the evening all the mem
bers oc the party told stories or sung
songs and entertained according to
their several abilities.
One of the English visitors could see
nothing funny in the stories told by the
Chicago Englishmen. Every time one
of them would tell a good American
story at which most of the party would
laugh uproariously this particular Eng
lishman would adjust his monocle to
his eye and, looking wonderingly
around the table, would remark, But,
I say, I don't see anything in that to
laugh at, y knaw."
One of the Chicago men finally re-
cited an original poem. The poem told
Of an Englishman who had come TO
America and after being in this oun
try only a short time had died and gone
to another and much warmer country.
Ten years passed, and one day an imp
passing that way heard the English
man laughing uproariously.
"Why. what are you laughing att" in
quired the imp.
"Oh, oh, oh, such a funny story as I
heard in America! Oh, it was so fun
N.Y. laughed the victim, and he held his
hands to his side and almost doubled
up with merriment.
"a story you heard! Why, you've
heard no story" said the imp. you've
been dead ten years."
eyes, yes, l know, 1 know cried the
man. But I've, just seen the joke"
This poem set the table in a roar.
Amid all the laughing and shouting
the obtuse visitor adjusted his monocle
and drawled out, But, l say, l don't
see anything funny in that, v knaw."
"No," replied the man who had read
the poem as quick as a fash. "Of
course you don't. You haven't been
dead ten years." And ever the obtuse
Englishman saw the point.-Chicagc

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, Feb. o.-Wneat mar
ket displayed no signs of weakness or
lack of confidence today. On any adj
vance there was profit taking quite
noticeable, but all offerings were quick
ly absorbed. Gables were steady and
the crowd looked for a liberal decrease
which was later posted to exceed their
expectations, bringing the total below
So million bushels. Minneapolis re-
ceived less than half of that a year
ago. Primary receipts were but 49,
600 against 1,135,000 last veal On
passage wheat increased two and one
half millions. The crowd has been
too bearish on wheat and this short
interest will soon be in the market
covering freely. The weather is gen
orally cold which suggests caution on
the part of the room traders. The
weather map promises continued cold
weather in the northwest and snow
f1urries in the southwest. We are.
unable to 9 anything to prevent a
good healthy market with a strong
probability of an advance of about 2
cents more. =
Corn cables were comparatively firm
er than wheat but trade not so large.
The cash demand good and in fact IS
in excess of receipts. Primary re-
ceipts but 100000 against 2,O93,OOO a
year ago. This will result in better
demand. We believe that the coun-
try has held off expecting to buy the
May around Coo and have worked in
to the short side. This will bring
a brisk demand from shorts. Buy
corn. ~
Oats Ire about in line with wheat
and corn. Nothing of special men
ton. 5-
Provisions are rather quiet with
little doing. There were 10000 at the
yards today. Prices were steady and
! $4,000 expected tomorrow. Roads
are fine and farmers are rushing their
hogs on to the market. This will
drop off abruptly and give a frmer
feeling throughout the list.
New York, Feb. 3.-The rumor is
current that the Northern Securities
case has been thrown out of the SUI
preme court. We believe, however,
that this judicial body will hand down
their decision about Feb. Oath. The re-
port, however, injected quite a strong
feeling into the. market and values
hardened. Later the market became
uneven. Copper selling off on heavy
selling by Dewitt & Dick Brothers.
st. Paul is believed to be heavily short
and a further advance quite probable.
Southern Pacific, of which we have
made special mention, continues to
improve and will be several points
higher before the week expires. Steels
are holding steady and the present
holders are becoming impatient, sup
plying the market at present prices.
Sugar is paving the way for another
good advance. Also Rock Island and
Metropolitan. Get in Brooklyn on
the first signs Of strength. It will
move sharply this week. It is pos
sible that a decision may be handed
down this afternoon in the Securities
case, but hardly probable. Money Is
chean and nothing in the way of a
general substantial improvement.
Buy on all reeessions and hold.

HARD TO TRIM
THE ESTIMATES
District Commissioners Face
a Big Task,
LOOKING TO SPECIAL LEGISLATION
Report on Revision Now Being
Framed for Presentation to
House Sub Committee.
Difficulties Encountered

The District Commissioner have now
practically completed their revision Of the
estimates to be submitted TO the sub
committee of the House Committee. on
Appropriations next week. in accordance
with that committees request for re-
duction Of the estimates which aggregated
upward OF SO 100. 600 20 S1.5vO.uOo.
The Commissioners have addressc
themselves 10 this problem for the last
few weeks, and will shortly submit re-
port which is now being framed. II IS
understood that the Commissioner do not
expect the appropriations TO be within the
figure named by Secretary Gage as neces-
sary. They are confidently looking for
ward to the passage of legislation already
projected for the relief Of the District
finances. so that the estimates which the
Commissioners at first presented may be
included in the Appropriation bill
state of District Finances.
These conclusions have been arrived at
after numerous conferences with members
Of Congress OF all parties ano shades OF
political belief. The fact is generally rec
oEnized that the District finances have
fallen into a condition where special leg
isIation is necessary TO restore them to
normal conditions and tlst scaling the
