WAS WELL THEY DIDN'T MEET
Friends Knew That Southern Colonel
and Five-cent Mint Julep Was
Poor Combination.

The southern colonel had been in
New York long enough to become ac-
quainted with large area of the citv.
and the other day, his last before his
departure for his home, he sat with
some friends in the cafe of his hotel
telling, little boastfully it may be
said, that he knew his way around as
well as native. The glasses in front
OF the party were tall and frost-cov-
cred, and small green leaves Secorat-
ed them pleasingly.
Yes, suh," said the colonel, 81 have

Then you didn't see Bowery sa-

Cents" said the man who had asked
the question. And I am glad you did
not, else you probably would have
gone in and shot the barkeeper for in
sulting your favorfte drink"
Il did not see the sign, sub. nor do
l see why l should have shot the bah
keepah," replied the colonel, warmly.
"Of cohse, that is 70 price fob mint
Julep, sub, but l can't see the insult.
Maybe, sub, that bahkeepah is a phil
anthropist. Maybe he thinks az do
that mint juleps ought to be free all
for asking. but being a business man
and compelled to avoid losing money.

he could, he would rathah give them
away free, sub. I'm sorry l did not
see that sign sub. l would have had

"Then you certainly would have
shot the barkeeper," was the chorus.

1t was heroic remedy, but It
served the purpose. The broad, fiat

Stubbins always was a thoughtful
fellow, and this warning led us to put
on another surcingle as a sort of
SAFETY catch. Then we had trouble
trying to decide what to do with him.
He couldn't very well ride and he
couldn't walk, and there was no tell
ing when he would get down to nor
mai proportions again. Duvall solved
the problem, however. He remem-
bered seeing a house about a mile
back on the road, and there we sue
ceeded in borrowing a wagon. We
rolled Stubbins up in blanket, put
MIN IN the wagon, and started bac'-

the circumstances. His wife came to |

the news to her gently.
Now, don't faint!' he said There's
nothing seriously wrong"
What have you in that wagon"
she demanded, trying to push by him.
"Why-why, nothing but a package
Of compressed food" he answered
hastily.
At this Stubbins raised himself I'D
little and cried: well, it's all right,
anyway. I've proved that"
Stubbins certainly is an enthusiast
in everything he undertakes, but he
couldn't get us to experiment with his
invention. We left him to waste away
or week or two, and made our hunt
ng trip without him or his pills.

ThieVes' Treasure Chest.

People passing along the quays of
Dublin some time ago to their work
had their curiosity axcited by the
spectacle of two men solemnly gazing
through field or opera glasses into the
river Liffey from Butte bridge, near
the custom house. A crowd naturally
gathered, and when the news was
passed round that the watchers were
detectives there were many banter
ing remarks as to a new clew to the
lost crown jewels. Neither of the
men with the glasses took any no.
tice. nor moved their gaze from the
surface of the river. The tide was
going out, and the sloping river bed
could be seen more clearly through
the Swallowing water. At length one
of the detectives uttered an exclama-
tion pointing out something in the
river to his companion, and shut I'D
his glasses with a snap. A few min
utes later the couple were being
rowed out on the stream in a boat,
and soon, out of the muddy depths of
the Liffey, a large box, the object of
their search, was fished up. 1t was
taken to police station, and on ex-
animation was found to contain a
large quantity of silver which, from
time to time during the past few
months had disappeared from various
residences in the south of the city.
During the day many owners of the
property called at the Office
and were gladdened by the sight of
household goods which they had
never hoped to see again.-Weekly

HAMILTON Fond Dead.

No one was In sight, and without walt
ing TO examine Hamilton's wounds the
two men started for Florence, a mile away,
to give the alarm. City Marshall Mari
was first notified, and he in turn noti-
fled Deputy Sheriff Thompson. who lives
in Florence, and the coroner. All the men
then returned to the mill, where Hamilton
was found dead, with two bullet wounds
in his head and one through the chest.
The first shot was fired while Hamilton
lay in his bed. The bullet entered through
the lower lip and passed back into the
head, the revolver being held so close
that there is a large powder burn on the
chin.
Another shot was fired inside, and when
Hamilton ran outside, three more shots
were fired, probably as he lay PROSTATE
on the ground.
Within a short time Coroner Heafey and
Sheriff Bradley arrived, and almost from
the first suspicion began to point to
Phillips. His house was visited, but was

Consider not the messenger but the

The Lord judges men by their hearts.
Men Judge men by their outward appear
ances. What about your inner life? How
would you like to have your thoughts pub
lished. Have they been selfcontained or
such as would meet both Gods and mans
approval? From the inner life OF man
comes his real life. Sow a thought. you
reap an act; and act. you reap a habit;
a habit, a character; character. a destiny.
Habit is an act repeated. and act is a
Thought realized. Man puts into his life
the thoughts he has used. If those
thoughts are pure there shall come a
thing OF beauty, II evil, a blight. Thought
is a seed from which may come a briar
or bramble or a beautiful blossom. The
thoughts of the wicked are an abomina-
ton of the Lord. Evil thoughts defile
men. There are sins Of the Imagination
and memory as well as Of the hands and
feet. Keep thy heart for out OF it come

misgivings among the professional specu-
lative element. based on the fear OF the

The fact that the price level thus attained
presents, the highest touched since 1906.
with a rapid approach in the average to
the highest in the New York Stock ex-
records constitute the ground OF
the misgivinEs over the stability Of prices
at the present altitude. The action Of the

and the buying TO cover shorts by those

ing tendency.

BODY OF FARM HAND FOUND
David olson's Corpse Recovered from
Shallow Pond.
THOUGHT TO BE CASE OF SUICIDE
VOunE Man Had started 20 work
In Field on One Farm and
Was Found Dead on
Another.

The body Of David Olson. the young man
who disappeared Friday morning from the
farm Of J. G Ferron. three miles east
Of this city. where he was employed. was
discovered yesterday morning in a pond on
the farm Of r. A. Smith In Garner town
ship. Indications are that Olson commit
ted suicide, but the motive for taking his
ovn life, as far as is known. is lacking.
The body. lying in shallow water near
the e1Ee of the pond. was discovered by
h A Smith. who went to the pond intend
Ing 20 fish. The condition Of the body In
dieated thAt It had been in the water since
Friday. Olson was last seen by member Of
the Ferron family on Friday morning about
10 o'clock. when the young man went into
one ~ the fields TO work. Shortly after.
when Mr.. Ferron went to the field. he could
not find Olson and a search Of the farm
failed to reveal any trace OF the young
man. Saturday morning. when no trace
OF the missing man could be secured. Mr..
Fsrron notfed the Council Bluffs police
and requested their assistance in locating
the missing man.
II is believed that Olson, on leaving the
Ferron farm, went straight to the pond on
the Smith farm. less pnan a mile distant,
and drowned himself. When he left the
Ferron house TO go to the field Olson was
wearing overalls, a short coat and heavy
shoes. These we're on the body when found
and would disprove the theory that he had
gone TO the pond to swim.
Young Olson wal % years of age and
had been working on the Ferron farm foi
about three months. His home was in For.
est City. Ia, where his father lives. The
father was notified of his sons death and
is expected here this morning. The body

therefore, as a partial fulfiIlment Of tn.
more confident predictions. and the re
actions, which had occurred in the price
OF the stock to below 20, offered a vantage
point for a renewed W ward movement to
the new high record at 7r4, This Upward
movement together with the rise in Union
Pacific for the first time to above 700 made
a strong sentimental factor In behalf ~
the bulls.
The quarterly earnings OF the United
states steel corporation showed the sub.
%stsntial recuperation, which mas occurred
in the trade Ohen compared with the
preceding quarter and with the correspond
ing quarter Of last year, but the marsir

ings OF the fat periods Of the industry is
restored is wide.
The same Is true NJ the tonnage Of un-
filled orders on hand at the beginning OF
the present quarter. The moderate
strength Of the exhibit in this respect did
not affect the obvious confidence with
which the future is regarded by the op-
orators in their stock The swelling de-
mand for the products Of steel and basic
iron strengthens this confidence.
Demand for Railroad Equipment.
Growing demand from the railroads for
all forms Of equipment added a strong
factor to this feeling. while it is pointed
out in criticism OF the United States steel
exhibit that it shows no resumption OF
the special OUTLAWS for new construction
and additions which were made l~avishly
up to the time of the late financial de-
preston. the increase of sums available
for dividends which will follow the dis
continuance OF these special OUTLAWS IL
a large element in advancing the stock TO
its present high price.
