AND THE CONGRESSMAN SAW
Really Nothing Remarkable In Story
Of Man Who Sold Horse at
So Much a Foot.

Two or three newspaper men and a
congressman In Washington, who was
a merchant in private life, were swap
ping yarns.
81 remember on one OCCASION" said
the congressman. "having in stock u
big lot of dry-goods remnants that
seemed to stick right by me In spite
of all / could do to get rid of them.
At last | advertised to sell them at
so much a pound and the curiosity Of
people to see if they could get more
at pound rates for their money than
they could get at yard rates soon
cleared out the stock. At another time
| sold lot of side meat at so
much square foot, taking the run
of the side, and the customers who
got bargains in the thick of the meat
encouraged others who had the luck
TO get theirs out Of the thin, so
evened up very nicely"
"That reminds me-" remarked one of
the correspondents, "of horse l sold
once at so much foot"
"How was that2' inquired the con-
gresham, somewhat puzzled. How
did you make your measurements? l
can understand how you might sell
him at so much hand and coming out
pretty we'll on it If he was a big fellow,
sixteen or seventeen hands high but
don't see how you got at him by the
foot"
THAT was easy enough. l simply
sold him ut so much foot-$3750."
''How much did you get for him?'
and the congressman got out his pen
Gil.
"A hundred and fifty dollars"
The congressman figured for about
q sixteenth OF minute.
II see," he said.

Well Pitched.

"Sandy" Macleod and his donkey
were well known in the country which
gave them birth, and the two were on
very friendly terms. Sandy" would
not have exchanged his "cuddy" for
the best thoroughbred in the land.
Going out for ride one day recent.
~, he resolved to make his 'moke"
jump stream. he applied the whip
and the animal galloped to the edge
Of the bank, and then stopped so sud
denly that "Sandy" was thrown to the
other side of the water
When he had sufficiently recovered
from the shock he rose and looked the
donkey in the lace.

guilty. The hearing was adjourned
until next Saturday and In default of
$500 bail both are still boarding at the

ANCIENTS DID GOOD WORK
Engineering Feat, It Is Said, Could
Hardly Be Improved Upon in the
Present Day.

Montezumas well, a natural lake fed
by artesian flow at Camp Verde, Ariz.,
which has been offered for sale
to the federal government, is one
Of the geological features of that
neighborhood. Surrounded, as 1t is
by high natural walls, it seems from
a distance to be small mountain.
The outside of these walls was pierced
In q prehistoric age by cliff dwellers.
The well is a great spring and has
been used for irrigation purposes for
many years. It's depth has never been
absolutely ascertained, but Is known
TO be In excess Of 500 feet. The wa
ter Is highly charged with lime, and
moss removed from the inside walls
and exposed to the air soon petrifies,
the fibers being clearly discernible in
the composition. That the well sup
piled the original, and now unknown,
inhabitants Of the valley with water
for their fields and gardens is estab-
llshed by the tracing of system of
irrigation bitches, which, according to
biologists, must have been construct
ed more than n thousand years ago.
The water they carried deposited lime
along the entire system, and the forma-
ton, which may be seen now, is solid
mass of stone, resembling concrete OF
this day. The walls of the bitches, in
places, measure more than three feet
thick. The builders performed an en-
gneering feat which could not be i'm
proved upon in this modern day.

II you let man keep kicking your
dog around, he'll soon get your goat.
In other words, if our citizens are al
lowed to believe that the mail order
houses in the large cities have some
thing on our local merchants, it is 60
ing to be harder for The local merchant
to give the service he desires. The
local merchant exists for the service of
local people. He it is who extends
them credit, who delivers orders quick
ly, and who gets what they want if he
doesn't have it on hand. Ask yourself
how much credit you can get from a
mail order house; how quickly you
can get delivery; and whether the
goods are as good for the price as those
offered by local merchants. Take a
mail order catalogue with you when
you go shopping, and will soon find that
Manitowoc merchants can usually de-
liver at once from stock the same or
better articles as are offered in that
catalogue, and at smaller cost to
yourself. Think it over. Try it out

Dorothy Stangel of Tisch Mills will
represent Manitowoc at the State Fair
in the school contest department.
The contest will not only be one in
spelling but in practical arithmetic
and penmanship as we'll. Each contest
Will count one-third toward the final
marking. This is really then con-

TO work out well. The state fair asso-
