To the Highest Bidder.

Even tobacco buyers have their trou-
bles. One of them, who represents q
New York house, met Connecticut
man who had sold his crop. The buy
er was amazed at the price the man
said he had received.
"You have been cheated" said he.
"You are entitled to more money than
that"
WELL" replied the farmer, nothing
has been paid to bind the bargain"
Then I'll give you 5 cents more a
pound and a bonus Of 500 for the
crop"
agreed" exclaimed the farmer, and
he received a check for the full
amount.
"Oh, by the way" observed the buy
er, "who was my rival in this transac-
tion?'
He was informed.
Il might have known it, said he
sadly. That man is my partner.

Gilbert Islands Triple.

Neither tea nor coffee is drunk in the
Gilbert islands, but liquor named kara
fee, or teddy. 1t is the juice of the CO.
coanut tree, from which it IS drawn
daily at sunrise and sunset To obtain
it the natives climb up the tall trees
and while extracting it keep up q con-
slant yelling to let those below know
that thew are at work. The sap when
fresh is q harmless and delicious bev'
eraee, but after it has been kept day
or two fermentation sets in and 1t be-
comes Intoxicating. Karafee does not,
however, fly to the head, but q man
who drinks it to excess loses the con.
troll of his legs. However, when this
befalls q native he has sense enough
TO remain indoors and shows his face
TO no one, for If his chief should ever
hear of 1t he would be tried and SEN
fenced to hard labor and heavy fine

Gated was tied to Il tree and received

streaming down his back. Besides
this, all his lands were conliscated to

Didn't Call Him Names,

Mickoy's mother visited q young
schooltea cher on the cast side the 9th
er day, says the New York Sun. AS
nearly as she could make out from
the mothers splutterings the teacher
had been calling Mickey names that
no lady would use and no dacint moth
er would stand for" The teacher
thought hard, but could recollect no
time when she had given way to an
impulse to call Mickey dreadful names.
Sure but you did," insisted the
mother. Il don't know what you
meant by it, but scurvy elephant is no
nice name to call boy. That's what
he said you called him-a scurvy ele-
plant"
"Scurvy elephant! No." said the
teacher in q relieved voice; Il didn't
call Mike a scurvy elephant l called
b a disturbing element, and re-
il ate my statement"
NIickeys mother went home partial
ly satisfied, but not quite sure that the
teacher hadn't been calling her names

The Code of Hammurabl.

The 50 called "code Of Hammurabr'
was brought to light during the exca-
vations on the site of Babylon and Is
looked upon as being one Of the very
oldest if not the oldest of all known
records. 1t IS believed to be at least
1000 years older than the Mosaic law.
King Hammurabi reigncd over BABY
Ion about the year $500 i. o., ana the
laws he inscribed on the clay tablets
for the most part no doubt long ante
date that time. The Mosaic law IS
supposed to have been given to lsrael
about 1900 Q. c., and it would appear,
therefore, that the Hammurabi code
has the much greater antiquity.-NeW

tt, the word is Irish for q ''pursuer"
and was at first given to moss troop
crs, who for their own villainous pur-
poses pretended to be on the side OF
the crown and the constitution and the
rights of property and in that dis
guise haunted the Dogs Of Ireland,
robbing the inhabitants in the name
Of the king. About 1850 those who
commended for the extreme preroga-
tiyes of the crown" had this contemp-
tuous term applied to them By their
opponents, and thus we arrive at the
meaning Of today. Macaulay points
out as a curious circumstance that
"whig" and tory" originally applied
as a term Of insult should so soon have
been assumed with pride. An odder
circumstance is that two great Eng
lish parties should have taken their
titles the one from the Dogs of Ire
land and the other from the loWlands
of Scotland Times.
