 Hardly had he disappeared when second cart belonging to the same establishment drew up immediately behind the first one. This driver also got down. opened the rear doors and carried in an armful of trays.
 Both of the horses were poor. ill., fed beasts. and at first both let their heads droop in a discouraged fash ion The one in front saw nothing to lead him to change this attitude, but upon the one behind a new in fluence began to make itself felt. His head was only few feet away from the rear of the cart in front, and the careless driver had left the doors open. Delightful odors floated out.
 The horse raised his tired old head and began to sniff. His ears prfcked forward. and he took a step or two in advance. He sniffed again, and liked the sensation better still Two more steps carried his head inside the cart
 When it came out, a vanilla eclair was protruding from his mouth. and he was munching contentedly. A man who was passing saw, laughed and stopped to watch. One or two oth CTS heard the laugh looked and also stopped
 Again the bony old head went into the cart. This time two cream cakes and q part of a chocolate eclair came out The little crowd began to cheer. and others hearing the noise, cross ed the street to see what the fun was all about

 What's the matter with the squash pies?"

 The uproar seemed to surprise the or to distract him from the business in hand He would withdraw his head from the cart, chewing calmly on a cream cake. and with eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of a Franklin, gaze calmly at the noisy spectators as if to say. What is all this excitement about? Can't a gen. tleman eat his breakfast without be- ing stared at?'
 But at last the noise and the growing crowd attracted the atten- ton of the driver of the wagon. He rushed out, pushed his way through, saw the ruin. and with an angry shout. raised his arm to strike the old horse in the face But man who stood near enough leaned for ward and caught the uplifted arm.

 DILLMAN WILL RETURN-Wal- ter Dillman who had been running a threshing outfit on the south side left there last Saturday night before several citizens of Tempe wanted him to go. He had rented the ma chine from Brooks brothers at $30 d day the rental to be paid every Sat urday night Of course, his failure to pay the rental would not warrant his return to this county by process of law but he did another thing that gave the penal code hold upon him. He was backed in his enterprise by A. J. Peters who gave him orders on merchants for supplies. Finally MT. Peters became uneasy and notified DiHman that he would back him no
 longer. Then Dillman made the mis- take of buying supplies and having them charged to MT. Meters. Last Saturday he collected all bills due him in that vicinity and took q train for the south Word was received at the office of the sheriff yesterday that he was in custody at Courtland

Senator Crawford has caused his
obsolete Miller speech against the

be placed in the Congressional he
cord. Not that the congress OF the
