them to realize handsome profit.


Soon they saw that they were losing,
but, in desperation, refused to sell and
retire, pocketing the loss. 1t was only
g case of two more lambs slaughtered.
Just before the close of business they
realized that, If they would save any
thing, they must sell at once and, when
the gong sounded, they stepped out in
to the street with paltry two hundred
dollars-all that was left of the ten
thousand which was to have been the
basis of both their fortunes.
1t was heart-broken pair that sat
down to dinner, at the hotel that even-
ing. Only an occasional remark was
made, and the partners avoided the
subject of their great misfortune.
After dinner they went Immediately to
their room, and there sat down to talk
it over.

"Why, what for ?" asked the alarmed
Blackler.
Perkins proceeded. 81 am satisfied
that should be placed in restraint.
There must be soft spot in my brain
somewhere, or could never have made
the unmitigated ass of myself that 1
have today. Why have seen this
happen to others, time and time again,
and have laughed at their idiocy. l
never would have thought that could
be so foolish. The worst of it is that
have dragged you down with me-"
Forget it, old chap; forget ii" urged
Rlackler. "Why, you earned the mon
ey and now I've helped you to lose it.
But we're not swamped yet. Well

"But not in wheat, Blackie, not in
wheat. No more wheat for me-" How
they did it, is another story.

A STANCE Manuscript
Found in a Mattress.

- ONE little time ago Twas trying
~ very hard to get to sleep, and in
\ the course of my struggles hap
pened to notice what seemed to
be b faint cracking underneath me. l
thought no more of 1t until few days
later when observed an unusual hump
in my mattress. I inserted my hand in
a convenient hole and drew forth sew
leral sheets Of substance resembling
parchment, but very thin. Looking at
1t closely saw that it was covered with
faintiy-traced typewriter characters.
l am now offering your journal some
selections from this document and
give them for what they are worth as
explanation or comment on them seems
hardly necessary: II always thought
Jerrold was bit of crank. But
when he sent me cake of soap of his
own making, as Christmas present,
knew it. The only word of explanation
of this extraordinary proceeding was
the following note which was wrapped
around it. Dear Harris-Don't lick it.
Yours sincerely, Jerrold.' The inevitable
happened. Within 40 hour, l licked
it.
when l awoke, as it seemed to me,
from short nap found myself in the
Crystal Palace. At least that was how
l figured it out. The place seemed to
be built entirely of glass. AS looked
more closely, however. saw that what
1 took to be glass was colorless met
al which was only transparent over
head. Contrary to usual practice in
dreams, found luyself nationally TAX
ing note of my surroundings and OBJ
served that I was in a large hall
absolutely bare of all furniture except
a queer-looking machine at one end and
the chair on which I was seated, which
was situated exactly opposite the only
door which the place boasted. 1 had
just taken in these details when the
door opened and man entered. At
least I discovered later that he was a
man. Not that he differed from the
human species to any appreciable ex-
tent except that his height must have
been roughly ten feet. He closed the
door which I noticed seemed built to
fit him, approached me with smile
on his face and said, Il write from

ports that more travelling men have
