'I Fill ) NOKKOLK NKWS : FRIDAY NOVIOMHER 4 l 0t. s THE JEST ENDS AS A "HORSE" ON THE JESTERS. HE WAS HOISTED TO THE LOFT Dill , Having neen Tralnerl to Climb up .ind Down Steps In n Show , the Mule Calmly Trotted down the Mounds of a Lntldcr Next Morning. This IK a brief tale of a clrcim mulo. All mules him- brief tails but not nil miilos have circus talcs on UIIMUHOIVOH. In this Insane ! ' the mule was clover ami cave a huneh of merry JestorH a horse laugh. Tin" humorous Incident occurred at llosklnft as a result of the Hallowe'en HtunlN. llt'uauHO a mule which was owned by John UVatlicrlmlt had once been In a circus , and had learned to do tricks that ordinary mules can't do , the young follows who Imd planned to dlseommod ( > Ihe mule ami Ilio owner by hoisting the animal to the hay loft , were the victims , thcinsolvoB , of the the Joke. The mule was hoisted from the sta ble to the loft above with a great deal of energy on the part of the perpe trators. They lugged and hauled and lifted In niimdR. | until they were well nigh exhausted from the tromendojis effort. Finally they lauded the lieusl overhead and went away chueklfug over the mirprlHo of Mr. WtmthorhoH when ho made the morning's discov ery. ery.And And to be on hand when the per formance was pulled off , they dropped In , ono by one , when the HUH cainoup. Mr. Wenthorholt wont to the barn and found the mule had boon taken from the stall. A search revealed the animal overhead. Ho merely smllod at the situation. The fellows thought ho was taking a serious proposition pretty gtxxl iiaturodly. That mule had traveled with a cir cus. In that circus the mule had been trained to climb up and down a lad der like any human being. And that wan the salvation of the day. Mr. Weathorholt merely stuck a ladder Into tlio hayloft opening and the mule , Its ears In the air , trotted down the rounds. Instead of n mule upon the pur posed victim , It became a "horse" on the jesters. WAGE EARNERS AT THE FAIR Prominent Men Planning to Help Workers See the Great Exposition. Wage earners of America are to HOO the World's Fair by tens of thousands under the auspices of the National Civ ic Federation. A new bureau of the Federation has just been established at Bt. Louis upon the World's Fair grounds. Back of the movement are G rover Cleveland , David H. Francis Andrew Carmgle , Cornelius N. Itllss and others. Plans are making to have a vast number of the wage earners of the United States hee the World's Fair , the most glorious spectacle of the age and the most Influential factor in the education of the American citizen. The bureau Is In charge of MUs Ger trude lleeks , secretary of the Federa tion's welfare department , of which Mr. H. 11. Vreeland , head of the street railway system of NV.v York city , Is chairman. The bureau headquarters is lu the east end of the Palace of Trans portation , on the ground floor. The 12x- position management U in hearty ac cord with this movement on the part of the Federation to Induce the large manufacturers ami other employers of labor to provide ways and means for the wage earners of America to visit the Imposition. President Francis Is displaying personal Interest In the un dertaking by affording the Federation every facility for the consummation of Its cflorts , and In this connection he has directed Theodore Ilardee , assist ant to the secretary , to eo-operate with Miss liccks and Ralph M. Kasley , chairman of the Federation's executive council. In every possible way. The Imposition management has also equipped this bureau with clerical as sistance and a full supply of World's ' Fair literature. The bureau will bo used as headquarters for all wage earn ers coming to the Exposition under Its auspices. The aim of the Federation Is to n ake It feasible for the largest pos sible proportion of wage earners to visIt - It St. Louis and see the World's Fair. It will see that they are met at the de pot by responsible persons and con ducted to suitable lodgings , where they will be treated fairly. , There will also be furnished , free of charge , appropriate Itineraries Indicat ing the points of Interest to be seen within a limit of one week , which Is about the average time each party will spend here. It will also Indicate the objects of special Interest to various craftsmen In their particular lines , so that they may devote as much time as possible to the objects of peculiar interest to them. These and many oth er efforts will be made to help all wage earners to enjoy the benefits of this great exposition comfortably and at an t expense within their means. Rome Camiiulirn HxiirnicB.

In ISO I , when he was chairman of the Douiocititle state central coru- mlttce In Indiana , he claimed the state by 10.000 votes up to the night before the election.

ONE OF THE GOVERNMENT'S SOURCES OF INCOME. CARELESSNESS PARTLY CAUSE Bonds , Notes and Stamps That Never Turn up for Redemption Leave Sub- stantlnl Gains Stamp Collectors Furnish a Large Revenue to U , S. The government of the United States makes many lhoumuidn of dollars or- cry year through the carelessness or misfortune of persons with whom it has business to transact , says a Wash ington dispatch to the New York Tele gram. Mercluinls sometimes make money In the same way , but the amount Is Inconsiderable. If a mer chant gives a cheek In satisfaction of an obligation and the check Is lost the IOSH can be proved and the amount re covered 1) ) } ' the man to whom the chtck was given. Sometimes It happens that a man gives a check which is afterward destroyed , and possibly , the man to whom the check was Issued never claims the money. Hut this happens so seldom that the prollt from this source Is one to which no business ninn would give serious consideration In figuring the possibilities of a season. Hut Undo Sam , on the contrary , can figure out pretty well before the beginning - ginning of the lineal year that so many thousand dollars will be put to his credit on the "profit and loss" account before the year Is over. This will come from bonds , United States notes , treasury notes of 1800 and silver cer tificates destroyed and never preuoutod for redemption , from unclaimed Inttr- est on Interest bearing securities , abra sions of gold and silver coin , money orders which are lost and never du plicated , as well an the humble postage stamp which Is not put to the use for which It was Intended. The amount which the government tnnkcs In destroyed stamps each year Is' not ( Ictcrmlnablo , but It undoubted ly amounts to many hundred dollars. The stamp collectors furnish a largo revenue to the government , for they put away stamps at their face value , and the postofflco department Is never required to perform the service which is represented In thu purchase price. These profits are never cast up because - cause debts of the government uro sel dom outlawed , but they are as real as If they were credited to Uiiclo Sain on the books of the treasury depart ment. The value of missing United States Interest bearing securities of the earli er issues prior to and during the civil war on June 30 amounted to more than $1,000,000. Those obligations , on which interest ceased years ago , date back to 1847 , and the outstanding amounts are classified rm follows : Interest , Am't out- Becurlty. Per cent , standing.

In the last fiscal year tlio only securities listed above which wore presented for redemption were bonds of the funded loan of 1801 , ono and two year notes of 1803 and com pound Interest notes. Some others maybe bo presented In the future to bo re deemed by the government , but It Is safe to say that in all probability the larger portion will never turn up. One of the great sources of unearned Income to the government is the de struction of thousands of notes issued from the treasury which pass from hand to hand and reach all classes and after floating around for years are lost , worn out or destroyed. The amount of these unredeemed notes would be difficult to estimate. From the first Issue , in 1801 , to the present day th amount would reach millions of del lars. In the single Item of what was known as fractional currency and more vulgarly as "shlnplastors , " which was Issued dilring the civil war , there was outstanding on June 80 $15,245,188.21 , of which the actuary of the treasury department estimates that $8,000,000 will never bo presented , having b en destroyed.

Ono Norfolk horse critic , who has been around horses nil of his llfo and 1ms. therefore , his information direct roct , takes exception to the use of the term ' thoroughbred , " as describing the animals which were cromatei here. Ho says that he , with a num her of other horsemen , enjoyed the Joke very much Indeed. He says trotters tors are never thoroughbreds ; tlm there Is but ono type of thorough bred horse a running horse descent ! ed from English stock. The horse ed Uor still maintains that the term wa correctly used. The Webster Interim tional dictionary though it hasn' been around horses all its life do lines the term "thoroughbred" as fol lows : "bred from the best bloo through n long line ; pure blooded Said of stock , as of horses. Hence having the characteristics of sue breeding ; mettlesome , courageous , o elegant form , or the like.
