TABLES TURNED en- PAL :
lnveterate Joker Gets Real Jo't When
He Bum-s up Against
German.

A good story is told of Congress
man H. W. (Hank) Palmer OF
Wilkes Barre, Pa.
Hank has the reputation of being
quite story teller, and is at all
times ready to spring something
funny at the other fellows expense,
but it happened that this time
Hanks joke was turned on himself.
It was back in the early eighties,
when the scarf stickpins were SO
much in style. Hank purchased a
conspicuously large pin, the design
Of which was potato bug, green in
color. When asked what it was,
Hank would answer, can Irish po-
tato bug"
1t was up TO United States Com
missioner Honn Of the same town
who is a typical German, and very
unassuming, TO turn the joke on the
funny Hank, who had been having
. lot of fun with his Irish potato
bug, till he ran across the little com.
missioner, who eyed the pin yer.
closely, but failed TO make any re-
mark about it. fearing that Hanl
had some joke attached to it.
Honn was about to walk away
when Hank said TO him: "Mr. Honn
what do you think of my new pin ?
Mr.. Honn adjusted his heavy
glasses, scrutinized the pin YER,
closely, and asked: Hank. vot Isl

Remarkable Market Reports.

Nothing gives a newspaper a
firmer place in public confidence
than well-established reputation
ior accurate and complete reports
of the worlds markets. Businers
men throughout the west have long
esteemed the Chicago Record-Her-
aid for the uniformly trustworthy
way in which it covers the whole
field of financial and commercial
news. Whether you want to know
what consols are worth in London
or what railroad stocks are quoted
at in New York, what price corn is
bringing in Kansas City or how
wheat is selling at Minneapolis or
Chicago. you can always turn to
the financial and commercial pages
of the ord-Herald with the GER
tainty of getting the latest facts in
full and unbiased form.
The men who write the local live
stock. board of trade and financial
news Of the Record Herald are ex-
perienced staff editors whose years
of trusted acquaintance with lead
ing men often give them inside tips
on important news in advance OF
other papers. The only morning
newspaper in Chicago having its
own special correspondent to cover
the New York stock market is the
Record-I1erald. George Beachel's
daily Geographic reports from the
stock and money markets of Wall
street are models of insight and ac-
curacy. The Record Herald makes
it point to cover in full the finan-
cial reports of corporations and the
banking activities of Chicago and
the west. The Speculative Cos
sip and notes of Wall street and
LaSalle street happenings are val
ued by the largest brokers for their
glimpses of real inside history OF
the various markets.

BRIDGE Talk For LeBeau.

There is a recurrence Of bridge
talk with reference to the M & St.
l.. railroad crossing the Missouri
river at LeBeau.
Surveyors have been busy all
winter running a line into Montana
and some work has been done re-
Gently on the survey run from the
river Though the Cheyenne reser-
walton country two years ago, and
men familiar with the situation say
the road is to cross and build west
into Montana. To substantial their
statements they refer to the pur-
chase by the NJ. & St. l.. OF large
ferry boat for use on the river at
LeBeau. Those who are somewhat
familiar with Nj. & st. L. methods
know that the company is not
spending money for good boat
merely to assist the river town or
for any other philanthropic purpose
and therefore considerable credence
is given the rumor that an early
crossing is to be made.
A pontoon bridge will first be put
in and then will follow the building
OF steel structure that will give
employment to several hundred
men extending over period OF a
year and a half.
In the erection of such a bridge
the dreams and hopes Of LeBeau
citizenship will be realized, too late
however, to benefit large proper
ton OF her booster population of a
year ago, most OF whom moved to
other and more promising fields.
Every man, though, regardless OF
location or. present environment,
who lived in the town during its
promising period of existence, and
boosted early and late sor the sue
cess of plans for its future greatness
has a warm spot in his heart for
LeBeau, and earnestly hopes that
the present talk will develop into
something tangible and that the old
town will realize her cherished
dream and become a real bridge
town with all the glory and trim
mings incident thereto. - Eagle
