BEING THE HISTORY OF A TRUST THAT MADE THE ERROR OF TRYING TO DEFY THE LAW IN A STATE WHERE PUBLIC OFFICIALS DO THEIR DUTY. An Octopus branched out one day and by mistake it took its way to old Missouri, where the laws are made to bo enforced, because the people down In Old Mizzoo make servants uo as thoy should do, and take no manner of oxcuao for an official action loose. ThlB Octopus on plunder bent to old MinBOuri gaily went, and with a wink of its off eye proceeded state lmvd to dofy. imbued with the false- bottomod thought that as in other slates It wrought 'twould be an easy thing to do to break the laws of Old MtzzoOi And whon tho Octopus was hauled before tho court and its case called, it only Bmllod in ghoulish glee and thought oro long it would be free. But to ltd Vory groat chagrin it soon, dis covered It was in the worst mix-up It o'ei' did vlow a fight with law In Old MIkkoo, In round tho first it sparred for wind, and Bldeatepped, ducked and feebly grlnnod, The second round then oloaod tho bout the Octopus Wont down and out Its pudgy form wad 'bruluod and sore; its nasal organ bathed in goro, and both its eyes were b.Aok and bluo from sturdy blows by Old Mtoo. 'What kind of state is this I've Btruold conalam the bloody, bloomin' luok?" tho Octopus in anger said; lift. ViahUh 111 T'tv, nnnKlir 1nnd T i. ill uuiuuu iat j. w ucaiij uluu. u.

Eonthom Boulevard, New York. The Oulllble Statesman. WHEREIN IS RELATED THE AW FUL ERROR OF THE INEX PERIENCED LAWMAKER WHO REALLY THOUGHT HIS PARTY MEANT WHAT IT SO OFTEN SHOUTED. A statesman whose experience in public life was not immense, got a false notion in his head his party meant just what it said; that when it said grave wrongs 'twould right it meant it would take up tho fight, and make its ev'ry promise good, just as a man that's honest would. So, with this notion in his brain, ho went to work with might and main; and having heard his chief de clare ho shackle cunning on tho square, with honest heart and right good will ho forthwith drew an hon est bill that would put all trusts on tho bum and knock 'em all to king dom come. lie spent ono summer at the work and toiled as did tho fabled Turk. He made the shackles strong and true and tested them until ho knew each hinge and Jink and screw and lock would stand the hardest kind of knock. Then, filled with joy at what he'd dono ho hastoned back to Washington. stepped aside and viewed his handi work with pride while waiting for his chief to praise what he had done through summer days. Then up the chieftain spake and said: "Geewhiz, the wheels buzz in your head! I said it, but were you less dense you'd know 'twas in Pick wickian sense. Go way back and sit down until this thing goes through the hands of Phil. He'll fix it up so trusts won't kick, but fool the people neat and slick." MORAL: 'Tis strange the statesman did not see Through this scheme of tho g. o. p. His bill's sad fate -was quickly sealed. He knows more now. Eh, Littlefield? Th "Con" Combine. A LITTLE FABLE CONCERNING THE MERGER OF TWO CON FIDENCE GAMES THAT RE SULT IN GETTING ALL THE SWAG ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET. Once on a time two "con" men met by chance and thereupon they set comparing notes on con games bold by which they gathered in the gold. Said one, "My scheme is wondrous thin, but, glory be, it gets the tin. I've worked the people to the pitch of thinking taxes make 'em rich. "I call it tariff, and they nay cood money to me every day. I keep all competition out and love for working men I shout, then make the goods that they must buy and boost the prices good and high. A sucker born each minute? Boo! Why, bless your soul, there's nearer two." "Your scheme is great," the other said, "but I've got one that kills 'em dead. Now 'listen and I'll 'tip my hand I run the money of the land. The people let me boss finance and. bet your life, I grab the chance. I have convinced the voting ranks that money should be made by banks. "And as I boss the banks, you see, I skin 'em both ways easilee. A dou ble interest I claim in working out my smooth con game." And thus the two grew chummy quite and laughed aloud in their delight to think that they so rich could wax by bank control and tariff tax. And ere the twain hnrl rUnort t,a wined they had tied up and schemes combined, and now they work their merger neat upon both sides of Sucker Street When one can't get the vic tim s chink he tips his pal the proper wink, and then the pal, quick as a nash, sandbags the man and grabs his cash. MORAL: Of course, If you love to be robbed And squeezed and pinched and neat ly jobbed, That is your right and you will bo By con men of tho g. o. p. "O, Chief!" ho cried, "my work's complete. I've forged tho shackles strong but neat. They'll stand, I war rant ev'ry test you tako them now and do tho rest." So saying he then Brain Leaks. Some men would have faith if thov were not afraid of the works. A carpet was never made too cood for childish feet to walk upon. It is impossible for hato to find harbor in a heart full of happiness.
