HE NEVER SPOKE AGAIN.

The DOE That Served the Purpose Of
. VentrilOQuist.
The following story is told of a ven
triloquist, now famous, but at the time
of this happening so hard up he used to
walk between the cities where he was
to appear. On one of these tours he
came to Philadelphia on foot, and on
the road he picked up miserable little
dog because it looked SO much like he
felt" The story will explain what be-
came of the dog.
The first house he came to was sa-
loon, and of course he wanted a drink
He had no money, but went in anyhow
to see what he could do. The proprie-
tor, q German, said:
"Well, what will you haveY'
He said, "Ill take little whisky
and then, turning to the dog, he asked !:
"What will you haveT
The answer came very promptly:
"I'll take a ham sandwich"
The German was so surprised he al
most tainted. He looked at the dog a
moment and then asked:
What did you say?"
The dog replied
II said ham sandwich
Hans thought it wonderful that dog
should be able to talk and asked who
had trained him, how long it had taken.
etc, and wound up with:
''How much you take for him?''
"Oh," said Mr.. Ventriloquist, 81
wouldn't sell him at any price, but
am little hard up now, and if you will
lend me $50 I'll leave him with you till
bring back the money"
'-All right" said Hans. Il just want
him for a little while so 1 can show
him to some smart people know
around here"
So everything was settled, the money
paid, etc, and as the ventriloquist went
out he turned and waved his hand to
the dog and said:
"Wen, goodby, Jack. I'll come back
soon."
The dog looked at him and said:
you mean son of gun, to sell me
for $50 after all I've done for you! So
help me Moses, I'll never speak another
word as long as l liver
And he didn't. Philadelphia Times.

The Man with the Fiddle.

The little old man fiddled very hard
as he stood near the curbstone In
Twenty-third street. The passersby
looked at him cnriously. Some Of them
smiled. No one gave him a penny.
Presently he was seen to totter and
then to fall. but he kept on fiddling
just the same, even when he lay prone
upon his back. A man helped him to
his feet. He never missed note. A
little boy who had been regarding him
with keen interest went up to him.
Suddenly the bow hung poised and
motionless. The little old man had
run down. The boy bought him for
quarter, however. The vender showed
him how to start the fiddle up again,
and the two went off together, happy
and contented.-NewY York Press.

In vain Dan urged him TO draw him
self up and drop into the bow Of the
skiff Afterward Gabe told how, see
ing the old man either could not or
would not loosen his grasp on the win
dow sill, Dan dropped his oars, reach
ed forward and lifted old Gabe by
main strength out of the window and
deposited him in the bottom Of the
skiff.
At that moment tree trunk struck
the skiff. The jar almost knocked
Dan into the river. He recovered his
balance, however, and turned the
boats head shoreward
And now 1t was a pull for life. The
blackness Of cloudy night enveloped
him. His sole guide was the light on
the lot in front of the postoffice. And
how could he gauge distance by that?
He might be above. opposite or far be-
low the breakwater Was -Ae half
way out In the river7 Everything de
pended upon his distance from the
shore.
He felt as II every moment must be
his last effort. His temples throbbed
His muscles, now so rigid, might relax
any moment Human endurance could
not last much longer. Then a voice
shouted his name.
"Danl Danw
He dared not answer If he could. All
his breath was required to make the
breakwater.
"Ho-oo-ooo, Dan! This way. I'm
here-Dolly! Danw
A few more strokes, and he heard a
laugh that made him shudder
"Oh, thank God-thank Godl I'm
here, Dan. This way, Dan"
Then he knew he was above the
breakwater. He looked around He
could barely discern Dolly in the dark
ness. Voices were heard on the shore
Catch the pole, Dan-quick."
Another pull, then Dan reached out a
hand and grasped the pole AS he
grasped it heavy log struck the skiff.
The next moment he was in the water
Dolly shrieked. Dan put his left arm
under old Gabe and struck out with
his right, contending now with the
hungry waters for old Gabe's life
Save yourself" said Gabe But Dan
compressed his lips and swan to Dol
ly's side. Dolly held her pole out until
he had firm grasp on it. With won
derful presence of mind he swan be-
low the waterlogged fiat Dolly had
pushed out from the shore. Now 9th
ers were near at hand, crying out to
them to take heart; help was at hand.
When Dolly Worth stepped out of
the fat, she was greeted with cheer
Torches were flaming now; women
were there, too-women with tears in
their eyes-and big, rough men were
there, whose eyes were moist as they
grasped Dan Graham's hands. They
were proud of the "stay at home"

arms with James |. 1t belongs to the
royal arms of Scotland. The signet
ring of Mary, mother of James, is in
existence, having unicorn on it. In
the royal arms therefore one support

land.
The lion and the unicorn occur also
in ancient Buddhist scriptures, placed

The old proverb that all things come
to him who waits advances very pref
ty and pleasant theory. but its literal
Interpretation makes it capable of great
misconstruction, for if it is In one sense
true its reverse is equally true. Nothing
comes to him who waits. Nothing comes
to him who waits and does no more.
There is nothing in the world that is of
any value that has not to be struggled
for, and those who sit down and fold
their hands, expecting fate and fortune
to bring them what they most desire,
will meet with the disappointment they
deserve.

Unconvinced.

A Presbyterian preacher in the CEN
trai part of New York state tells this
story on himself;
''1t was Sunday morning, and l had
started for church. The family were
preparing to follow when the youngest,
a five-year-old, protested, Il do not
want to go to church"
"T don't feel much like 1t myself,
Fred, this morning. replied his mother,
but we must go. Father has to go
has gone already, and he has to
preach
Yes said Fred, unconvinced, but
we have to listen, and that's worser.'

FIRE AT LINCOLN ASYLUM.
Stables at Insane Hospital Destro. ed,
with Loss of $4,000.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 27.-The
state of Nebraska suffered loss of
$4,000 by fire, the stables at the hos
pital for the insane in the outskirts
of the city being totally destroyed.
: Six head of horses were incinerat-
ed, a dozen others being saved by the
asylum attaches after the latter were
nearly suffcated and badly scorched
by their efforts. Large stores of pro-
duce grown on the asylum farm were
destroyed, along with implements and
vehicles housed in adjoining sheds.
Fed bv several hundred tons of hay
the flames leaped high in the air.
The asylum was distant about 200
yards, but most of the patients were
aroused by the din and added to the
general disorder with their screams.
The patients were kept locked within
their apartments and the excitement
soon subsidized.
Superintendent Greene suspects in
cendiarism. Within the last eighteen
months the state penitentiary near this
city and the Norfolk insane asylum
have both been burned, representing
loss to the state of $50O,O00.

Butler, who does the parachute drop
act for the Superior street fair, had
a rather unpleasant experience. The
balloon ascension was pretty one and
the drop perfect, except that the para
chute dropped him in the middle of
the Republican river, which is now at
flood. Butler cannot swim lick. He.
drifted onto flooded island, and re-
mained there with the cold water up
about his neck for over an hour while
boat was secured in which to rescue
him. He lost his parachute. Butler
nearly lost his life in the same man
ner at Lake Manawa this summer.

AGED MAN KILLS HIMSELF
Fred Hoffman of North Bend Blows
His Head off.

NORTH BEND, Neb., Sept. 20
Citizens of this place were Mortified
to learn of the death of Fred Hoff-
man, aged sixty-two years, by his
own hand. Hoffman blew off the top
of his head with shotgun and his
body was found lying in room Of
the shack which he occupied alone
in the southern edge of the town.
A shotgun lying near by told the
story of self destruction. The sight
which met the eyes of the party as
they entered the room was a most
sickening one. The brains of the
dead man had fallen into pan and
looked as though they had been taken
out and laid there. Blood and par
ticles of flesh and brain were scat
tered on a soft and the walls and
floor of the room. A stream of blood
had flowed the entire length Of the
room, leaving pools here and there.
The dead man had carefully fasten-
ed all the doors of the house before
killing himself He left a letter ad-
dressed to his children which read as
follows:

Represented in Displays.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Secretary
Hay has sent urgent instructions to
all of the United diplomatic officers
abroad to do everything within their
power to insure displays at the world S
exposition at ST. Louis from the coun-
tries at which they are accredited.
The purpose was not only to secure
considerable individual displays by
great manufacturers and merchants,
but also to have the various govern
ments themselves make national eX-
hibits, as these features of interna-
tional fairs have usually been the
more interesting.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Sept. 27.-Arthur
Nichols, aged sixteen, of Emerson,
Neb., it is charged, enticed Flossie
Haynes, aged fifteen, also of Emer-
son, to take a ride with him. She
was enjoying the ride when he drove
into Hubbard, took her to the depot
and waited until a train came along.
He put her on the train with ticket
to Sioux City, and said he would drive
back to Emerson and follow on the
next train. When he reached Emerson
he was met by an officer and arrested
for alleged abduction. The girl ar
rived here and was enjoying the Elks
carnival. She chanced to pass the po-
lice station just after her father had
telephoned her description to Chief
Davenport. The chief, recognizing
her, put her in the woman's ward un.
til her father came, when she buried
her face in his coat and wept.

Crowd at corinth, Miss, Kills Negro
Who Murdered Mrs. Whitfield.

Nebraska Man is Honored.
CORINTH, Miss, Sept. 29.-Writhing
In the flames of burning fagots, piled
high by hundreds of citizens, Tom
Clark, alias William Gibson, a young
negro, was burned at the stake here
at late hour today, after having con-
fessed TO one of the most atrocious
crimes in the history of north Missis-
sippi, the assault and murder of Mrs.
Carey Whitfield on August 10, last. Be-
fore the torch was applied Clark stated
that he deserved his fearful fate.
Last August Mrs. Whitfield, the wife
Of well-known citizen, was found
dead in her home. Investigation
showed that the woman had been as
saulted, and her head was practically
severed from her body, razor having
been used in the bloody work. Both
Whitfield and his wife were related to
several of the most promising families
in the south, and the indignation of
the people knew no bounds. Corinth
and the surrounding country were
secured in an effort to apprehend the
murderer, but diligent search failed to
disclose his identity. Two detectives
from Chicago were employed, but their
efforts were fruitless. Several suspects
were arrested, but in each case an
alibi was proven. A committee Of
twelve citizens was employed to con-
tinue the search for the murderer, and
these men have been very active in
their work. On Monday last it became
known that Tom Clark, a negro living
near here, had trouble with his wife,
and the latter threatened to disclose
the secret of a crime. Officers appre.
hended the woman and she told enough
to warrant the belief that Clark had
murdered Mrs. Whitfield.

dynamite. The family lived over q

CROP HARVEST FOR THE YEAR
Deputy Labor Commissioner Watson
Completes Compilation.


LINCOLN, Sept. 29.-Deputy Labor
Commissioner Watson and his office
force completed the compilation of
the acreage for the crop season of
1902 in all the counties of the state,
as follows: Winter wheat, 1904, ,939
acres; spring wheat, 645,82S acres;
corn, 5,516,801 acres; oats, 1,63S,647
acres; barley, 7S,414 acres; rye, 453,-
554 acres.
The labor commissioners figures
are based upon official returns from
the assessors in all but a few coun-
ties. The missing ones were esti-
mated, but are believed to be fairly
accurate. ::
Figures for the yield have been esti-
mated by the Nebraska Grain Deal
ers' association on all but corn, which
cannot be compiled accurately before
the end of October, or perhaps later.
The other cereals, however, show a
verv satisfactory increase over the
year of 1901. The estimate of the
yields of the various crops, with the
average per acre are:
Winter wheat, 44,735 1863 bushels,
231s per acre; spring wheat, 645, 1928
bushels, II per acre; oats, 52,144,119
bushels, 35 per acre; rye, 8, 673,62O
bushels, 19 per acre.
