Dear Bunch: Still in the ring at the
Spoonsbury Commercial house, and
here's some of the dope the near
actors of the Bandits Bride Com
pany" handed out last night.
81 tell you, Mike" the Juvenile
said. I'm too delicate for this one

York and build theater,"
What with?" sneered Low Comedy
With a reporter l know on one of
the papers," the Juvenile chuckled
Say. what was the name of that
town we played night before last?"
"Murphy's Landing, wasn't it,"
Mike answered
Il guess that's right, because Muir

the Juvenile said. Remember those
nice white door-knobs we ate for
breakfast next morning? The waitress

stranded, here in this jay town."
The Juvenile grabbed the black bot
tie and upset it again. Say, Mike,
what we need is a guardian. And
while we're at it let's pick out one
with money SO we can wire him for
little price to help US out on oc
casions like this. The next manager
that wins me away from the stock
yards will have to wear a gold-plated
overcoat and stand in the wings every
night where he can throw ten-dollar
bills at when 1 make my exit. No more
slob impresarios for mine, with moth
ing in their inside pockets but date
book and a hearty appetite"
Same here!" Low Comedy nodded.
The next manager that picks me out
will have to drag me down to his bank
and let me pick his coupons off the
shelf before I'll sign"
Bumped, good and hard, here in
the tall grass" the Juvenile com
planned again, "and not a cookie in the
lunch-basket. Say! 1t has me wing

This is the third troupe that blew out

I'd like to know? Eight weeks since
we left Chicago, three shows to the

TIE Han AND TIE PET FERN
Daily Proceeding That Turns Wife's
hair Grey Many Years Before
Her Time.

After supper Mr.. Man lights cigar
and sits down for a comfortable
smoke. His wife, with a regard for
husband and the neatness of her home
evenly divided, places an ash tray on
the table near him, and a cuspidor on
the floor. The man Is comfortable
and happy, and would get mad if any
household disturbance caused him to
leave his chair, but he notices ashes
on the end of his cigar, and gets up,
passes the ash holder and cuspidor,
and crosses the room to drop the
ashes on his wife's pet fern. The
wife has piled as many as ten ash
trays near the man, and surrounded
him with cuspidors, but he ignores all
of them to find his way to the pet
fern. The wife objects, and has been
known to put the pet fern in another
room to save it, but the man passes
the ash trays and cVspidors and walks
into the next room to flick off the ash
on his cigar. The same man will
walk through six rooms, If need be,
and pass 375 burnt match holders to
drop his match beside the pet fern It
does no good for the woman to object
or to invest all her pin money in more
ash trays, burnt match holders and
cuspidors, for the man will never see
them on his way to the pet fern. And
so far as domestic history relates, this
is the only recognition the man ever
gives his wffe's plants. And he never
does give recognition to the ash trays,
cuspidors or burnt match holders

PIPE the everlasting truth contained

proceeded as follows:

BY GEO. v. HOBART, "HueH MAueA.0

They'll shout while your wealth en-
dures;
Show q fearful lamp
And you'll see them tramp
And it's back to the woods for yours!
While at your money they glance;
But you'll find them all gone
On that cold, gray dawn
When the fringe arrives on your pants!
You've got the game of life sized
to a showdown, was the Juveniles
comment.
At this point Jabe, the Reub bar
tender, pointed a freckled finger at
Mike and butted in with: "Say, you
be the fat cuss that cut up with that
thar troupe at the op'ry house last
night, been't ye?"
"No, I'm the skeleton man with s.
circus" Mike answered. and the bar
tender roared with delight.
You don't look as how you took
much exsscise," snickered Jabe.
But l do take exercise. Oh, me
for that exercise thing, good and
strong" protested Mike.
What kind of exercise do you
take?" Jabe inquired.
Well" Mike answered, "every
morning I swing clubs for Is min
utes, then the dumb-bells for ten min
utes, then l run about three miles
and then / get up and eat my break
fast"
Jabe guffawed loudly over this bit
of righteousness.
81 was at the op'ry house last
night" Jabe informed them, "and
most laughed myself sick to the
stomach at this yer fat cuss takin'
off that Dutch policeman-ha, ha, ha
ha!" Jabe looked at the Juvenile
You was putty good, too,' he ad
mitted, "takin' off that newspaper re-

no funny fall and bust your gallusses

Get him to unhook the laugh; he's
a good steady listener" whispered
the Juvenile, and Mike started in.

"The Proprietor OF That Hotel"
with grass and the river has running
water"
"Ha, ha, ha, hal" Jabe roared.
Reminds me of a place we struck
out in Missouri last winter" Mike
went on. Same style of public archi-
lecture, especially the town pump.
But the hotel there was the hit with
US. 1T was called the Declaration of
Independence, because the proprietor
had married an English woman, and
wanted to be revenged. At supper
time ] ordered a steak, and they
brought me a leather hinge covered
with gravy, so | got up to add an
amendment to the Declaration of In
dependence. The head waiter was an
eX-pugilist, so he put the boots to me
and covered my amendment with
bruises. Then he made me eat the
leather hinge, and for two weeks
felt like a garden gate and ! used to
slam every time the wind blew"
Jabes laugh shook the building.
"The proprietor of that hotel was
so patriotic" Mike continued, that he
wouldn't number the rooms like any
ordinary hotel. Every room was
named in honor of president of the
United States. That evening there
happened to be a rush while I was
standing near the desk, and | heard
the clerk say; Front, show these gen
tlemen up to John Quincy Adams, and
tell the porter to take that trunk out
of the alcove in Thomas Jefferson.
Front, go and puH down that window
in Rutherford B. Hayes, and, here,
take this whisky up to Abraham Lin
coin. Front, what's all that racket in
James Buchanan? Here, take these
cigars to U. s. Grant, and turn off the
gas in Grover Cleveland But l near
ly tainted when he said: Front, run
q sofa into James A. Garfield, and
take these two ladies up to George
Washington
Mortal Caesar Ha, ha, ha, hal"
roared Jabe. 'Doggone, if that amt
funny, you fat cuss!"
When l quit them Mike had worn
finger marks on the side of the black
bottle. and Jabe had signed a verbal
contract to go on the stage as the
Juveniles dresser.
I'm for the Reub hotel, strong.

here last week jumped up to 40,
600 head, an increase of Is, 600
head over the week previous. An
extraordinary run of quarantine
cattle last week account for the
greater part of the increase, and
the natural increase in supply OF
grass cattle from native territory
at this season eaCn week, to-
gether With an unusual number
of well finished native cattle, are
responsible for the balance OF the
increase. Two Of these factors
were eliminated last week, as tar
as their future effect on the sup
DIV is concerned, namely, finished
natives will become more scarce
all the time balance of the sum
mer, and the quarantine supply
will not be nearly IS heavy tor
three or four weeks ahead as it
was last week. Grass cattle from
quarantine territory are not
moving freely yet, and the big
run of cake fed steers from Texas
last week just about cleaned that
variety OF cattle up for this sea-
son. A relatively large number OF
native steers sold between So Ou
and $3.50 last week, and that
class remained steady for the
week, but farther down the line
declines set in, until bottom
steers showed loss Of 25 to 80
cents, COWS and heifers eff almost
as much, Gales so to 70 lower,
stockers and feeders tending
downwards Supply to day is
$4,000 head, two thirds as large

The hog market closed last
week practically unchanged from
close of previous week on an
average, but during the week
heavies had lost all of their pre-
MUM over lighter weights, and
little more, and hogs under 200
pounds iii weight now lead by
small margin. Bacon houses are
unable to get enough material
to make their brands Ofstandard
quality, and their difficulty is
likely to become greater, as ave
rage weights are increasing. As
long as the feeder can get sucn
good profit on corn fed hogs as
at present, this condition will
likely remain Supply here to-day

in the live mutton trade, partic

mutton grades of sheep lost so
to 70 cents. The run of spring
lambs from Kentucky and Ten
