SAYS IT'S EXPENSIVE.
Retired Farmer Discusses City Life but
Fails to Consider it's Advantages.

''This Twin in town amt the most
satisfying thing on earth, after all, !"
remarked a retired farmer the other
day, one who moved his family in
to the city a year or SO ago, and con-
tinuing he said: tive half a notion
to get back into the old channel
again. You see it's rather hard for
us fellows to pay out hard earned
money for necessities that we used
to produce ourselves. For instance,
the other morning my wife sent me
down town for a slice of beefsteak
for breakfast. It cost only 25 cents
and we discussed it at the table as
fairly good eating. Then my wife
said we must have few potatoes
for dinner and I started for the store
and bought a whole bushel. I gave
the clerk dollar and he gave me
back over little dime with the re-
mark that potatoes were ninety
cents a bushel. This Jared me a
little but I took my medicine and
went home only to find that a chick
en- was wanted for dinner. Well, I
went to the butcher and got one of
those pin feathered blue ones, threw
down half a. dollar and got a nickel
back. Goodness me, that was aw-
full. At this rate it will cost me SIS
a day to live here, said to myself,
and I shall go bankrupt in just nine
months or mortgage the farm.
This thing of paying money for
honey and every little thing we eat
keeps me running to the bank for
money every day and I don't like it.
Out on the farm we have nearly
everything in meats, vegetables,
fruits and honey, and it all seems
as free as the water we pump from
the we'll. Another thing we don't
have the comforts of country life.
With the rural mail service and tel
ephone connections [ believe the
farm is much the better place to
live, whether one works or not.
The practice of farmers moving to
town is mistake unless they have
some business Or occupation to alb
sorb their attention, which seems to
be the only way to make city life
endurable. l see plainly now that
will either have to do something
or 90 back to the farm

1t. was Very Funny.

A funny little incident took
place at a Platteville hotel during
the fair, the particulars of which
have just leaked out. 1t seems
that a gentleman accompanied
by his wife stopped over night at
one of the hotels and some time
during the night the gentleman
was taken with a terrible case Of
cramp colo. His wife was fright
ened nearly to death but knowing
that something must be quickly
done she slipped on her wrapper
and went down to the dining room,
where she emptied the contents Of
the mustard cruet into her hand
kerchief and ran back up stairs;
dived into herroom Gas she thought
and seeing a man lying in bed,
gently turned down the cover and
still more gently tucked up his
lingerie and slapped on the plaster.
No sooner had it come in contract
with his epidermis than the man
arose., and yelled out, What in h
Hoboken are you doing, woman!"
The lady gave a glance at his face
it was not her husband. A scr eech
like that of siren on an acean
liner split the air from the depot
to the normal; there was a sound
of pattering feet and switching
draperies; a door slammed and
quiet again reigned! When the
lady got to her own room she told
her husband of the mistake she had
made and it tickled him SO that the
cramp collie took change of venue
and left him.

LEAD AND ZINC HIGHER.
Prices of Both Ores Take a Jump
at Joplin.

Prices for both lead and zinc
ores in the Joplin district have
taken a jump and the market is
stronger than for several weeks
past. The highest prices paid for
zinc ore the past week was $35 per
ton, 81 higher than the previous
week, and the assay basis ranked
from $50 to $32 per ton of so Pcr
cent zinc. Some ore was shipped
during the week ending December
IL that was purchased the previous
week on a lower scale of prices, but
there was little, if any ore sold the
past week at less than a $50 basis,
for ore over 60 per cent zinc.
After the three weeks shutdown
the mines have all resumed opera
tons. The shipment during the
week closed was an increase of so
per cent over the preceding week
and the value about IS per cent in
crease.
Zinc ore has advanced 81 per ton
during the past month and another
81 increase is looked for. Lead ore
advanced 50 per ton the past week,
selling at $54 per ton. A year ago
zinc sold at 1856 per ton and lead
at $50.
