AN URBANE MAN.
INV M. Ouad.1


I have met a few urbane men IN my
time but when 1 come to recall them
man by man realize that John Hicks
stands alone at the head. There were
various rumors as to Hicks former
avocation before he reached Sandy Cove
and opened a drug store. 1t was said
that he had been blacksmith at Tur-
key Bend, a stage driver on the Pine
Hill route and a shyster lawyer over at
Lame Mans Valley, but it was against
custom to question a man personally
He was looking for an opening when he
reached Sandy Cove. At that date we
had two so-called drug stores and three
so-called doctors, and the drug business
went on day and night, no matter about
the mining. We got on to Mr.. Hicks
urbanity at an early date. He arrived
just as Hank Watkins had been killed
by powder blast, and as he helped to
gather up the fragments he paused for 4.
moment to rub his hands and say:
Really, now, but 1 can truthfully say
that l lament this sad occurrence ana
hope the spirit of the deceased has
found rest above. 1 pledge you my
word, gentlemen. that 1 am actually

elixir went for all sorts of ailments from
toothache to consumption, and then the
returns began to come in. 1t hadn't
actually killed anybody. but il had up
set score of men more or less badly,
and as soon as they could crawl out
they brought up at the drug store.
Gentlemen, beg to assure you of my
regrets, replied the urbane Mr. Hicks
land you can be satisfied that it shall
never occur again Have a blue mass pill
al my expense, and let us forget all about
it."
We didn't exactly know what to do
with Mr.. Hicks In three months he made
about twenty blunders, half of them
fatal. and the only offset was that he
neither lied nor sought to excuse himself
He finally got morphine and quinine mix
ed up again and caused the death of Sam
Barlow, and the mayor of the camp felt
it his duty to go over to the store and
say:
Look here. Hicksl You've killed an
other man."
But with the best Of intentions, as
sure you.' replied the urbane Hicks.
D-n your intentions! Didn't Sam
Barlow send for quinine2"
He surely did"
''And you must have sent him morphine
In place of it,
side by side and not labeled. Yes. I
must have sent him morphine and as he
was a good customer, 1 gave down
weight. Please bear to his surviving
1AltiibS my dSStIdnc6 lndI
But this has got to stopl'' yelled the
mayor.
Eyes; it ought to stop"
you evidently know nothing about
drugs
Next to nothing, but in case OF any
death through my ignorance l shall al
ways stand ready to tender my heart
felt sympathies.''
We gave him one more chance For
three or four weeks all went well. Then
he mixed things on the boss again. and
he was taken out and suspended 10 a
limb and his estate parceled out for the
benefit of the ailing communfty He
knew that he had to go, but his urbariry
did not forsake him.
Gentlemen he said as he stood With
the moose around his neck, IT thank you
for having selected such Il beautiful dav.
In some way or other l have caused the
death of about dozen people and had
about decided to sell out and go to
freighting hay-but please don't allow
anything to interrupt the PROCEEDINGS. 70
the dead ! extend my sy1npathfes TO the
living, my congratulations May l now
trouble you to kick the barrel from I'M
der my feet and bring this affair to an
end2'
The barrel was kicked. and John Hicks
went hence to return no more, and when
we had had time to think over his mr.
bane way We felt sure that 1t had gained
him entrance into a better land.-(Copy-

over 40 million bushels Northwest re-
ceipts are increasing instead of decreasing.
and so are receipts at primary markets,
while exports are falling off. World s
shipments were over 8 million bushels The
big operators may step in and stop the de-
cline, but as they are willing to sell out
with a cent profit we see nothing in the
situation to warrant a material advance,
but the other hands believe wheat a
sale on hard spots for handsome profits.

weakness in wheat and Ad lower cables
The weather everywhere is favorable fer
the rapid drying of new corn ard we can
