Willing Hands.

There is a good story going the
rounds in Pittsburg of young man,
formerly stock-broker, who dropped
many thousands in speculation during
the early spring.
One night, shortly after going to
bed, the Pittsburger was awakened by
strange signs. At his first motion to
jump up he was greeted by hoarse
voice. eff you stir, you're dead

ey."
In that case" pleasantly answered
the erstwhile speculator, kindly al

shall deem it a favor to be permitted
to assist in the search. Harper S

A REAL "Hoss" RACE.
Country Fair the Place to See 1t at

If you would see a horse strap
ped, booted, braced and geared to
the limit, you must seek such
track as you see at the old-time
country fair Here comes an awk-
ward fiea-bitten gray which never
went under $50 in his life. He is
hobbled and checked and goggled, and
hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and
crosswise until there is more har-
ness than horse. You wonder how
his driver ever got him into this rig
ging, and how he will get him out
again without cutting him free with
a jackknife. A farmer with a
gray beard and twinkling eye OBJ
