Many stories are told of the eccentric
doings and sayings of an old clergyman
who lived in Maine some years ago,
At one time there had been hght
among some men, one of whom was
seriously hurt. A trial took place, and
the old minister, who had seen the at
fray, was summoned as witness.
what was Salson doingT was the
first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
swell. sir, just what do You mean BY
thatf"
'Why, be was knocking about him
here and there"
''Now, sir, kindly tell US plainly what
Salson did to this man."
'sWhy, he--he enticed him." said the
old minister slowly.
"Enticed himl HowT
'sHe enticed him with crowbar. He
used the crowbar to persuade the man
Ito entice hiIn--and by series OF
pokes and blows he succeeded In doing
it." said the minister mildly. -Youth'a

I hope It will be a long time be-

merchant remarked, as he re-
turned from waiting on a custo-
mer, relates The st. Paul Dis
patch.
What was the trouble, asked
his partner.
Those near wool suits. An old
fellow came in just now and ask
ed me the price of one.
Seven dollars, / told him.
Speak louder, he said, holding
his hand behind his ear. So
yelled, Seven dollars.
Eleven dollarsl Too much; I'll
give you nine, he replied.
His partner looked at the spea-
ker in alarm.
You-er-of course, you did
the right thing.
Iguess you can depend on me
to do the right thing, was the
naughty retort. Then he paus-
ed. You'd better get some dol
lar bills when you go to the bank,
he remarked. just gave an old
fellow our last one for change.

Declined the Contract.

One advertising company in
this country representing three
fourths of all the street car adj
vertising service in the United
States Canada, Mexico and Gu
ba. Recently the company was
approached by a representative
of the National Brewers Associ-
alton with a proposition to place
in the street cars a series of
cards containing alleged argu-
ments on the benefits Of beer
drinking The official wanted to
make three years contract and
agreed to pay the the big sum of
1888, 600 for the advertising.
The proposition was turned
down, as the advertising compa-
ny fatty refused to be a party to
such a scheme to deceptive edu-
cation for any sun of money.
This proves two things. 1t
shows the activity of the liquor
forces and the methods they seek
to employ, and il is also an illus
tration of large corporation de-
clining profitable contract on
moral grounds. II is another
proof that the business world is
going dry" and that the liquor
traffic is doomed.

HI T MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The cotton
opened easy, al a decline of
8 to 10 points, generally IL to Is points
lower, with all positions selling into
new low ground for the season, under
heavy liquidation and a new of ag-
gressive bear pressure, which was en-
couraged by weak cables, reports of
freer Southern spot offerings to Liver
pool at easier prices and rumors OF
labor troubles in Manchester.
The decline was checked around 14.1s
for May by covering, as some of the
recent large sellers appeared to be
taking profits; but there was 10 indi-
cation of aggressive bull support, and
the market, while 5 or 6 points up from
the lowest. was very unsettled during
the middle of the morning.
The rally from the early low point
the market about Q to 10 points
from the lowest. but offerings
showed a tendency to increase on the
bulge and subsequent fluctuations
continued and ir-
regularity with trading less active and
prices ruling about Z to 10 points net
on old crop n four points net
lower on new crop months at midday.
Southern spot advices continued bullish
and many wires were received from the
Southwest claiming that rains were in
adequate but seemed to make compare
lively little impression on sentiment.
