and in-treated. Forty bales OF hsy is a
pretty good load for a good heavy team

clerk and asked for license. The city
clerk issued live stock license and re-
ceived the fee He had not heard of the
auction sale.
a few minutes later Mr.. Benner. an
other auctioneer. came in and proceeded
to explain TO the city clerk that Mr.. Ar
mold was going TO sell furniture and little
or no live stock. The city clerk began
making inquiries and found that Mr.
Arnold expected to sell for Singer & Don
nell. so the license was revoked and the
firm notified that they must put up $500
for license TO run an auction house.
The sale was called of and this matter
Strengthened out. but Mr. BenEer is being

AMUSING NEW STORIES
OF WELL-KN0WN PLAYERS.

| The players of THE Tenderfoot' COM
| pany recently had a laugh at the expense

merous social attentions from old friends

dinner given by the students of Queens
College, to whom he promised to make a
funny speech
He presented himself at the appointed
hour and place, was received by three
grave gentlemen in evening dress. and
uShered into an apartment occupied by a
dozen or more equally sedate and similarly
clad men. who, however, vouchsafed him
no greeting beyond Il somewhat curious
stare.
Carle naturally believed that they were.
ike himself, guests of the students. and
concluded from their dignified and chilling
reserve that they must he persons of dis
unction. He waited patiently as the min
utes passed by, occupied himself with con-
lectures as to the identity of the stran-
gers. until it was half hour past the
time SET for the dinner to begin, and Ven
