Things Getting Swift.

Members of the Never Go Home
club that meets all the time in
Duffy's cigar store were treated to an
amusing time last evening when two
agricultural gentlemen from up-river
got into an argument about the price
of timothy hay Gentleman A con-
tended that timothy was selling for
$25 and Gentleman B insisted that
the price was $27. So they argued
and their talk grew loud, while the
club looked on placidly content
Gentleman A, finally, in a state of
evaporation broke out with, Il tell
you that thar price is s25, and I
know it is because I read il in the
market report of the Wenatchee Daily
World" And Gentleman A leaned
back on the counter with the air of
a man who has put the clinches to
an argument. "Oh, no." laughed Cen
tleman B, You read that Saturday
night. Tonight's paper says the price
is $27. Ho, no, old hayseed. things
are moving faster than once a week
here now, and you have to read the
paper every day"
Just then the music started and
Gentleman B went in to see the show
for fear he might miss something.
