A farmer living short distance
from the Home in attempting to
play a joke on the young son of his
neighbor had the tables turned to per-
fection 1t seems that the boy in
quired what he would sell his colt for,
and the answer was $3.50. The boy
called on a nearby farmer for the loan
of the money, stating that he would
pay the loan by the use of the horse
and being in the matter Immediately
went to the owner OF the colt, pre-
pared to purchase. He went into the
barn and brought out the colt, at the
same time seriously handing the far
mer the $3.50. which quite took away
that gentlemen's breath. An explann-
ton followed, the colt was led pack
to his stall. and the boy returned to
his home, very much grieved at his
failure to purchase the colt.

BERLIN. March l6.-The reichstag has
passed a bill for the regulation of wire
less biography. in accordance with the
decisions of the international congress in
Berlin in 1896 and comforting a monopoly
of wireless biography upon the govern
ment. The German government desires
to maintain an attitude of neutrality
toward all systems of wireless teleg-
raphy, and in particular TO secure in
accommodation on the part of ships
and land stations without regard TO the
system employed. Germany has oc-
cordingiy declined to bind herself to any
one system. upon the ground that the
efficiency of the system adopted is of far
greater Importance than its technical
Character. The special committee OF the
reichstag to which the bill was referred
was informed that messages by the Mar
conf system would be accepted by Ger
man ships and stations IL the company
conformed tn the obligation to exchange
communications With other systems.
