A ragged Irishman was charged In a
London court short time ago with
rendering a counterfeit shilling In pay
ment for penny loaf.
Though forlorn in aspect, he was not
destitute of that shrewdness which is
characteristic of his countrymen. He
stated that he was sent for the loaf
by person at a public house close by,
who gave him the coin to pay for 1t,
and that on discovering 1t was not
good he bought the coin for three half
pence.
The Magistrate-How came you to
buy the shilling after you had discov-
cred 1t was bad one?
The prisoner. with much apparent
gravity, replied:
Sure, then. your honor, bought 1t

1t has been recorded that General
Henry Knox in 1888 was the great.
est" Of eleven distinguished officers OF
the army, weighing 280 pounds. Noah
Brooks In his book entitled Henry
Knox" gives the following incident re-

With Captain Sargent he was Sc

starving and naked men at Valley
Forge to the attention Of a committee
of congress. One Of the congressman,
wishing to show his wit and sarcasm,
said that he had never seen fatter
man than General Knox nor a better
dressed man than his associate. Knox
managed to keep his temper and re-
manned silent, but his subordinate re-
torted. THE corps out Of respect to

After being connected as printer and editor of the
Missouri Valley Times since July g. 1863 have decided
to quit the business and take life easy.
When commenced in the Times in 1863 Mo. Val
ley village of about 200 inhabitants and had many
characteristics of wld and wcoy western town. We
have the town grow from village of that size to
city Of 5000 nhabtants-a live, energetic town, filled
with fine churches and school houses and class of resi-
dents the equal of any town in the United States.
Mr. Rush G. Lahman has purchased interest in
the Daily and Weekly Times and tomorrow will become
of the editors and proreors of the paper and here
after the firm will be Mahoney & Lahnan. 1t is
not necessary say anything to Mr. Lahmans ability,
as he was born and raised in this city, and known to
every resident hustler good writer and good bus
ness man. The new firm are both young men, and will
make the Times good paper as it ever has been.
We cannot help but feel little sad at parting with
the subscribers of the Times many of whom have taken
the paper since its first issue in 1868, but turn the
paper competent hands and feel that the
propretors will make the paper better in the future
than it has been in the past To and all, who have
faithfully stood by the Times in the past wish to
turn our most sincere thanks and wish them all the good
things in the future that they entitled to- We will
still chang around the Office and will always be glad to
the old time friends of the paper at any and all times
We expect to spend about half time with son,
Frank Harris in New York City, and the other half in
this city. R. H. HARRIS
