A QUEER WAGER.

A little boy said to his sister the other
day: Il bet 1 can coax you to set fire to

scOrnfully.

So Fred set out on the home ride. but

Fred was forced to his spur. But a
glance down at the plain below convinced
him that Tony's scent was keener than

Fred had his pistol ready, and trusting

$40, 900 For Six Mules.

WHEELING, W. Va, August M.-Some 20
years ago Enoch C. Morgan, living near Fair.
mont, whose business then was trading in
stock, found he had more mules on hand than
he bad market for. He drove half dozen
of them into Webster county, which was then
accessible only by mountain path, and tried
to dispose of them.
There was no money in the county, but he
struck up a trade with mountaineer and
traded the six mules for 700 acre tract of
mountain land. The taxes on it amounted to
almost nothing and he kept them paid up.
Several years ago railroad was built near the
property and the timber and coal on it became
valuable. A few days ago he sold the land
which he had secured in his trade for the
mules for $50 an acre, or $685. 900, to Lewis
county timber men,, Mr.. Morgan thinks he
made good trade with his mules.
