When the World Falls In.
The man who has never stepped on a
collapsable stairway does not know what
it is like suddenly to lose his grasp on
reality and feel the world slipping from
under his feet and all nature in universal
smash. But that's what the cOllapsable
stairway does for you. When Uncle Ellery
Marsh used to come to town he had an
idea that he was seeing the sights when
he was going against some other man $
game. Now there was certain kind OF
poor mans club in town then that had
a number of electrical and other devices
concealed about it's rooms for the pleas
ure of its patrons and among them was
this collapsable stairway. 1t was a sort
of daily April FOOLS day for those who
love the simple pleasure Of seeing some
poor old man break his back.

asked to step upstairs to see the art gal

to climb the stairs. When he stepped on
the fifth stair, the whole stair case shut
up like blind, leaving smooth, inclined
plane up which cat could barely wall;
to say nothing of Uncle Ellery with q
touch of rheumatics in his left limb
! Uncle felt the earth disappear from be-
ho Of o

whether it was the floor or the ceiling

old mans catastrophe seemed tn.E the

But how true 1t is in this world that what

Mormons in Salt Lake City declare that

Should a Cuban reciprocity treaty be-

urged that there are now a number Of un-

bushels, compared with an increase of
100000 bushels in the corresponding four
weeks last year. Yet the facts remain
that there Is scarcely any wheat in store
in Minneapolis and the movement is not
heavy. while the flour mills have beeen
grinding at rate to make new records in
flour production, and outside millers have
also been heavy buyers In this market.
The fact that prices are not too high to do

largest of any week for more than year.
