KING HARNEsSED A HORSE.

Meanwhile, Its Owner Sat By,
Watching the Monarch's Work.
Much-traveled people will testify
that the most stupid people in the
whole world are found In Mecklenburg,
Germany, says the Kansas City Star.
Natives of that district are said to be
even more dense than the Inhabitants
of the county of Wiltshire, England,
and that Is saying good deal. The
inhabitants of both of these places will
admit the impeachment, but they do
not call 1t stupidity; they have anoth-
er name for It, They have exalted it
into virtue and call it "imperturba-
bility." In the United States, If a
country yokel didn't know the way to
town fifteen miles away, he would he
accounted fool. But in Mecklenburg
the peasant one meets on the highways
doesn't know, has never been there and
never wants to go. That is imperturb-
ability.
1t Is a mistake, however, to think
that the country dullard never scores"

cred. Recently that royal individual

led by the grand dukes eldest son they
drove in a luxurious motor car to the
famous deer park at Neustrelitz. On
the way they came upon country

the narrow road by white horse.
Perched on the seat were a peasant
| and his good wife. The chauffeur blew
his horn and much to the royal party's
surprise the horse began to prance
briskly.
AS the peasant made no attempt to
| pull the horse and cart out of the road
the chauffeur repeated the 'honk
honk." The horse reared and jumped
about, but strange to say, the peasant
and his wife sat stolidy on the seat
without any signs of excitement. Final
ly the horse Topped over on its side
and lay quite STILL
Immediately out jumped the king
the grand duke and the son Of the
grand duke and came running up tC
the fallen horse. The grand duke made
dive at the horses head, his sor
grabbed the bride and the king mar
rowly escaped serious injury in unfas

hind legs were working like fails. AL
this while the peasant and his goot

The Retort Courteous.

An official Of the Department Of the
Interior tells Of an incident at one Of
the government schools for the In
dams.
A patronizlng young woman of Gin
cinnati was being shown through the
institution, when she came upon a fine
looking Indian girl Of perhaps 16 years
Of age. The Indian girl was hemming
napkins. which the girl from Cincin-
natl watched for some, moments In 81
lence. Then she said to the Indian,
"Are you civilized?'
The Sioux raised her head slowly
from her work and glanced coldly al
her lnterrogator. "No," she replied, al
her eyes again sank to her napkins

CHAPTER XVIII.

Walter found a good dinner ready for
him at IL o'clock, which he enjoyed the
more because he felt that he had earned
It In advance. He waited till about ?
o'clock, and again set out, this time in
q different direction. In some places he
was received politely; in others he was
treated as humbug. But Walter was by
this time getting accustomed to his posi-
ton, and found that he must meet dis
agreeable people with as good humor as
he could command. One farmer was will
ing to take the book If he would accept
pay in apples, of which he offered him
two barrels; but this offer he did not for
q moment entertain, judging that he
would find it difficult to carry about the
apples, and probably difficult to dispose.
Of them. However, he managed to sell
two copies, though he had to call at TWEEN
ty places to do 1t. Nevertheless, he felt
well repaid by the degree of success he
met with.
"Five books sold to-day r. thought Wal.
ter, complacently, az he started on his
walk home. THAT gives me six dollars
and a quarter profit. l wish l could
keep that up"
But our young merchant found that ht
was not likely to keep up such sales. TIL,
next day he sold but two copies, and III,
day succeeding three. Still, for thre,
DAYS and a half the aggregate sale wa.
eleven copies, making a clear profit o
thirteen dollars and seventy-fve cents. A
the end of the week he had sold invent,
copies; but to make up this number h
had been obliged to visit one or two neigh
boring villages.
He now prepared to move on Tn
next place at which he proposed to sto

had already written to Cleveland for
fresh supply Of books to be forwarde
to him there. He had but two books lief,
and his baggage being contained In

lance, partly out Of economy, but primo
pally because it would enable him to sc
the country at his leisure. During III

both books, which relieved him Of til

to this effect, and had started ON his way

Walter began to think that selling
books would prove harder and more dis

to buy his books, even if they could af-

He walked slowly up the street, won

customers. On the opposite side OF the
street he noticed small shoemaker's
shop.
II suppose 1t Ii of no use to 60 IN
there" thought Walter. IF they won't
buy at a big house, there isn't much
chance here"
Still he thought he would 60 in. He
had plenty of time on his hands, and
might as well let slip no chance, however
small. He pushed open the door. and
found himself in a shop about twenty-five
feet square, Uttered up with leather shaw
ings and finished and unfinished shoes. A
boy Of fourteen was pegging, and his
father, man Of middle age, was finish
ing a shoe.

"Good- morning" said the shoemaker.

.Well, what have you got to sell?'
"A subscription book, finely illustrat-

'Let me look at It."
He wiped his hands on his apron, and,
taking the book, began to turn over the
leaves.

"Does it sell well?"
Eyes, it sells largely. have only just

That's the way to talk. How much

Walter was all the more pleased at ct
fecting this sale, because 1t was unex
pected. He had expected to sell q boo

New York, Oct. 5--Prices of stocks nuctuated wildly today and showed the unsettling of strong conflicting cGss dsyeopsd @ ops in t sRs H nsar T Eastern questions and on the other the tonic effect of the strong upward movement In the Hill railroad stocks.
 It was. ticeable that while prices break caused by the Bulgarian war prospect, there was much more hesita- ton in followin0 the further recovery over the Saturday level in sympathy with the strength in the Htlls and the weakness was renewed at the last.

 Illinois has been called the Sucker State" for many years, and her na- tives are known as "Sucke CTS" A dog en reasons or excuses have been given for this strange designation. but the only satisfactory one was told me the other day by a grandson of Ninlan En- wards. "The early pioneers adopted many Indian habits. They even strap ped their babies to boards like papoos- es. After they began to raise hogs the mother would leave her little ray of sunshine alone in the cabin for hours; but to alleviate his solitude she gave him a large piece of raw pork to suck, first tying 1t to his foot by string, so that when he attempted to swallow 1t the natural impulse to kick would save him from choking"

 For some years the United statas annual ly exported 200 million bushels, of wheat. but of late the foreign demand has fallen off peeceptibly. and the prediction Is made that the time is not very far distant when all our wheat supply win be needed for our own people. Indeed experts have declared that within the next twenty-five years the United States will be Importing wheat for home consumption. And when We consider that in our country the wheat area Is i'm. tied, while the population is unlimited and steadily increasing, 1t Is certainly within reason to conclude that the time Is ,Iot far away when there will be no surplus of wheat for export.

 "Clubhouses for criminal loafers" Is what State Prison Commissioner Roger P. Clark calls county jails where prisoners have nothing to do but wait for the time to eat and sleep.

In his report to the Chenango county jail, submitted to the State Prison Commits sion. MT.
