Tried to Sell Hogs Twice.

st. Cloud Journal Express: Claim
ing to have $500 in the bank at Cogs-
well, N. D., fifteen hogs at Annandale,
Mimi, and the memory Of a spree in
Minneapolis, during which he had
spent $1,000, Bernard Richard struck
st. Cloud yesterday and attempted to
sell his hogs. Not only did he at
tempt to sell the hogs to one butcher,
but had asready received a payment
down from two meat markets and
would probably have unloaded the lot
on all the dealers in the city IL he had
not been stopped by the police. He
was receiving part Of the initial pay
ment when he was placed under ar
rest. At the station the man admit
ted that he did not have a cent in
the bank, though he carried a pass
book with $40o registered and a check
book IN the Cogswell State bank. He
also admitted that there were no hogs,
but stuck to his story that he had
spent $1,000 while on a spree in Min
neapolis. After a hearing in the police
court the defendant was sent to Jail
for thirty days on a charge Of petit
larceny.

Chicago, March 25.-Wheat: The
market opened steady to a shade high
er and ruled firm during the early
session, easing toward the close. There
was an abundance OF offerings OF
May delivery on the advance from
he same sources which have supplied
the demand during the past W or
three days and shorts seemed to have
satisfied their present requirements.
New buying in the. deferred futures
is still lacking. The spring wheat
markets ruled relatively weak, espec-
tally Minneapolis, at which point
stocks showed a decrease of 100000
bushels for two days, n~otwithstand-
ing reported sales of 100000 bushels
sold on Saturday last to go to local
mills. st. Louis reports sales of 10000
bushels cash wheat with market firm
and prices X to 1 cent higher. The
market is still of a trading character
and seems to lack definite direction.
We feel that the long side of the de-
ferred futures is the better one.

It Was New to the nishop.

At an unusually large dinner par.
ty, where the guest of honor was an
English bishop, the butler, an elder
~ man, was obliged to bring in
from a friends house an inexpe-
rienced lad to help him in the din
ing room. The awkward helper an
noyed the butler beyond endurance
with questions as to his duties.
He continued interminablY until
the butler, worn out AID nervous,
said ironically:
"AIl you viii need to DO is to
stand behind the bishops chair, and
whenever his lordship puts down
his glass you must reach over and
wipe his Mouth with a napkin"
That silenced his assistant. But
the young man actually took the or
der seriously, and as soon as dinner
began he stationed himself behind
the bishop, waited till his lordship
had drunk and put down his glass,
and then, as deliberately as his
nervousness would permit, he OPEN
ed out a large napkin and wiped the
dignifed old gentleman's mouth
