If some of our capitalists would
erect $50 houses in this city at
once with ordinary modern con-
veniences they could reap a fine
revenue from the investment.
Houses TO rent are already in
great demand in all parts of the
city. A house sold yesterday on
Catherine street for $3.50, and the
purchaser rented it the same day
for $3.50 per month in advance.
Hence, if this investment is not a
profitable one we are no judge.
A few houses in this city to rent
now would be a safer and better
investment than stock in the
Standard Oil company.

This all sounds very funny and the

that the dancers had to go home

TO BE CONTINUED.

Senators Greatly Pestered With Re.
quests For Them.
The Jefferson Bible, with its beauti-
full red Morocco binding, made no lit
tie trouble In the house while II was a
single forgotten volume reposing un-
Ter lock and key at the Smithsonian
institute. Now that 1t has been photo
graphed and reproduced In numerous
copies, the little volume has multi
piled trouble for the senate. Hardly
a man Of the ninety but has had thou
sands of requests for the book, and
more are coming in by every mail.
It seems that some enterprisine
business man advertised the Jefferson
Bible prominently In a we'll known
magazine. He announced that 1t could
he had for nothing. II one would write
to ones senator or member Of con-
gress, concluding his advertisement
with the further statement that he had
gone to considerable expense in hav-
ing the advertisement printed, and
hoped readers would turn to his bus
mess announcement on another page
So 1t is that requests are rolling In
upon senator's, especially. for the pub
lie seems to have taken the idea that
they are more legitimate prey than
gentlemen at the other end Of the
capitol. Each senator's quota Is but
thirty copies. and the only good way
out of the dilemma appears to be to
print more. just as congress has done
with the horse book and other popular
government Observation-Disclosures

A POPULAR TAR1ET.-During the Fe-
nian raids in the seventies Of the last
century Colonel Albert Clarke Of Bos-
ton went to the Fenian camp near the
Canadian border. The camp Of the
Canadian troops was but short dis
tance away.
One day Clarke wearing a light COL
ored stovepipe hat, was strolling along
through the fields a mile or so from
camp. Suddenly the report Of a rifle
rang out and his hat fell to the ground
Clarke picked 1t up and jammed II
down more tightly over his head. An
other report sounded in the opposite
direction, and Clarke then realized that
his hat was the cause Of the firing
He started to run and the bullets began
to fly thicker and faster. When, after
hard run, he reached piece o.
woods that afforded shelter he looked
at his new tile. and to his dismay II
was a total wreck. There were all OF
twenty bullet holes In 1t, but not one
struck its owner.

posing forces had been amusing them

A GAME OF FREEZE OUT?-A gentle
man who has just come from Colum-
bia says that there Is weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth on the
part of the member Of the dispensary
board who formerly enjoyed the fat
pickings and was living a life OF lux
ury and fast becoming a modern Croe-
sus. The trouble, arose from the two
other members Of the board forming
a coalition against him and controlling
all the purchases, rendering this mem
ber's vote of no commercial or market
able value. AS there are only three
members Of the board two constitute
q decisive majority and the third
member is wholly impotent. Having
the riches Of directing the dispensary
turn to ashes in his hands has almost
broken the heart Of this member and
he is said to be behind the resolutions
calling for an investigation OF the
management of the dispensary and he
hopes to be the means Of having mis-
associates brought to book and the
former state of affairs when he en-
joyed the rightful emoluments OF his
position restored. He is tired stayingg
out in the cold and feeding on husks
at $4OO q year. As this member Is q
good fellow, 1t seems a pity that the
