"I want something handsome In the way
of a clock , " he said to the Jeweler , ac
cording to the Washington Star.
"Wo have a very fine line of goods. " was
the response ; "and the prices are very mod
erate. "
"I don't care anything about the price. I
want something that will show at a glance
that It cost a whole lot of money. "
"Certainly. We have some beautiful Ira-
ported goods. "
"That's the Idea ; something that came
from abroad. I want an onyx pedestal anO
ormolu trimmings and a statue on top of
It. "
"Hcre'e a veritable work of art. "
"That's pretty well ; but I'd like some
thing more attractive than that. It's to bo
a birthday present to my wife. We haven't
been keeping house very long , and she's
been worried for fear people would think
we were going without a clock because wo
couldn't afford one. I'm going to sec that
she has something so handsome that It'l
dazzle everybody who cornea Into the par
lor. and so precious that It has to be kepi
under glass like a specimen In the ran
seum. "
"How Is this one ? " the Jeweler Inquired
as he lifted a massively ornate article fron
a shelf.
"That's the very thing. That'll please he :
almost to death. 1'ack It up and ship I
out to my house , and send the bill to inj
office. "
"It'll cost $125 , " the Jeweler mildly sug
gcsted.
"That's all right. It looks as If It wer
worth It. "
Ho started for the door , but came bacl
and said : "Ily the way. you'd better give
me another clock one of those small nickel
plated affairs that cost about J1.50 , so tha
we can stick It off In an obscure came
to look at when wo want to know what Un
it Is. "

The two old soldiers , who bail fought on

"This reminds me , " said the Yank , casu

of a tree and boring a hole Into It with his

"That a all right , " responded the Johnny

"but you played a shell garoo on them. "

ORIGINAL OF MONTE CRISTO. I
Strnngo Stdi V of the Persecution of Daron Von
Trenck.
St. Lul Globe Democrat.
Of the millions who have-'rcaiM'umas. the
cider's , most faeelnatlifi ! ' tomnnre , "Tho
Count of Monte Crlsto.'Mt"ls safe to say
that not one-twentieth hsA-ev- heard any-
thing about the man upon whoso cxtraor-
illnary trials and adventures the story Is
founded. That man was Haron Frederick
von Trcnck. Trenck was born at KonlRs-
berg , In Prussia , In February , 1720. tic
seems to have descended from a noble and
courageous family , for his ancestors were
famous In the chronicles of the north , whllo
his father and two of his uncles were noted
generals In the Prussian army. In person
Trcnck was handsome ; In manner , dashing ;
In temperament , choleric , and In heart generous -
erous and undatintablo. During his four
years at the University of Koulgsbcrg he
fought four itut'ls , coming off victorious In
each encounter. At the early age of 17 an
Inllitcntlal I relative presented him to King
Frederick , who received the lad with marlicd
favor , and accepted him as a cadet In tlio
royal bodyguard , with the promise of quick
preferment. I And preferment was Indeed
quick , for after only six weeks' cadctshlp
the king gavu him a commission and pre
sented him with a splendid equipment for
the service.
When the war between Prussia and Aus
tria broke out Trenck , then oi.ly 18 , went
to the front. Ono day while heading a
tf
tf foraging tI party of fifty he had the good
fortune to capture twenty-two Austrian
prisoners , and this feat so won ( bo ad
miration of the king that he Immediately
conferred upon his young favorite the Order
of Merit.
Hut notwithstanding those successes , and
the evident promise of a most honorable
career , trouble was brewing for Trcnck.
and sonn was to burst upon him. It ap
pears that whllo at court ho had attracted
the attention of a high-born lady , an at
tention which soon ripened Into mutual
lovp. clandestine meetings , and "vows ot
eternal cotstancy. In his Journal Tienck
does not mention this lady's name , but It
was ( uilil that she was no less a person than
the king's ov.-n sister. Princess Amelia.
When trtb bec-amo known to Frederick he-
viewed the connection with stern disfavor.
One- day ho said to Trenck : "The thunder
begins to roll , and the bolt may fall ; be
ware. " After this Trcnck found that many
of his former privileges were cut off , and
several times ho found himself tinder ar
rest for actions that bo had previously In
dulged In with Impunity. ,
It was whllo the royal tnlnd was In this
moo'I ' that a chance offered to put the dash
ing young soldier where he would do no
irther n.lschlof. It appears tint Trcnck's
ousln. who fought on the Austrian side ,
nd who had been grievously wounded ,
rote saying that he Intended to make his

Tbo letter remained unanswered. Ho then
vrotc to his Inamorata , the princes'- , who
ent him an assurance of her affection , a
ircmlse of Intercession with the king and
.000 ducats.
For live months Trcnck continued to hope
or a trial and his rerease. but when ho
earned that his commission In the guards
lad been bestowed upon another his heart
unk within him. Ho soon rallied , however ,
, ml resolved to watch keenly for an oppor-
tiulty to escape. Ho had made friends with
his guards , and they , being touched by tils
iiisfortunes. promised to assist him In re
gaining his liberty. Probably all had gone
veil had not Trenck , In turn , had his pity
iroused by a. wretched fellow prisoner , one
Maneget. This man he determined to take
vlth him In his escape. Upon being Iti-
ormed of Tronck's plan Maneget groveled
t his feet In gratitude , but no sooner was
ila benefactor's back turned than he sent
or tbo commandant , and betrayed the whole
cheme. As a result of his Indiscreet gener
osity Trenck was shut up in a narrow
lungeon , the treacherous Maneget wan re-
eased and the guards were severely pun
ished.
No sooner had Trenck rallied from the de-
pair following this failure than be again
re-solved at whatever cost to he free. He-
ween him and liberty stood tbo Iron bars
vhtch covered the windows of his cell.
Thcso he boldly attacked with a notched
enknlfe. and. after many weeks of labor ,
10 succeeded In tiling three of them through.
iVhcn a sufficient opening had been made
Trenck cut up his leather portmanteau Into
strips , and. knotting these and the bed
clothes securely together , ho lowered hlm-
iclf ono dark and stormy night ninety feet
o the ground below and cautiously crept
away. Hut , alas ! acrcsa his path stood an
open sewer. This he must wado. He got
lialf way through and then stuck , unable
.Ither to advance or retreat. It was bitter
cold , and he felt that tu remain In this po
sition was to perish. However willing he
night bo to yield to death , prldo v/ould not
icrmlt him. tbo lover of a princess , to die
n such a shameful fashion. At the top of
Ills voice he cried out to me sentry , "Tell
the commandant that his prisoner. Baron
von Trenck. Is sticking In the mud ! " The
merciless Fouquet was soon upon the spot ,
mil. after allowing the unfortunate young
roan to remain In this shameful predicament
long enough to amueo the garrison , he had
lilm pulled out. Trenck was compelled to
remain In his fllth-covercd clothes the en
tire day.
After this ho was confined moro closely
than over. Yet hardly a' week had expired
before wo find him making a third attempt.
A certain Major Ooo and ' .two officers came
to visit him and lectunjd Ijjpi on the crime
of trying to escape. Tiu/.wa3 ) moro than
the hot-blooded Trcnck x-nuld stand. I glvo
his thrilling daah for llburty In his own
words : "At that InstaVlf , ! snatched the
major's sword from his i-qo , sprang for the
door , threw the sontlne frwin the top to the
bottom of the stairs , paiSBili the guard , who
happened to bo drawn up < brforo the prison
door to relieve guard , attacked them , sword
In hand , threw them auWltfily Into surprise
by my onslaught , wounfljy.'tour men , made
way through the rest , sprapG1'ovor the breast
work of the ramparts , and ; with my sword
drawn In my hand , immediately leaped this
astonishing height wltritmt 'Injury. ' I then
leaped the second wall' .with equal good ' '
fortune : no one dared Kia'jVafter me , and , la
order to pursue , they"oijust go around [
through the town ami , jho gate of the
citadel , so that I bad the btnrt full half an
hour. > " '
"A sentinel , howcvcri 'ifl.a ' narrow passage
"
age , endeavored to oppose" iny flight , but aI I
parried his fixed bayoneland , wounded him
In the face. A second sentinel , meantime ,
came from the outworks to seize me from
behind , and I , to avoid him , made a spring
at the palisadoes ; there I was unluckily
caught by the foot and received a bayonet
wound In my upper hip ; thus entangled
they beat mo with the butt end of their
muskets and dragged me back to prison ,
whllo I struggled and do/ended myself like
a man grown desperate. "
The severities of Trcnck'B Imprisonment
were now Bill ! further Increased , but whllo
his wounds wcro healing ho was meditating
now projects of escape. Among the garri
son were numerous discontented soldiers ;
these Trenck became acquainted with and
by means of bribes ho won thirty-two ot
them over to bis cause. At a signal given
by Trcnck all the prisoners were to bo liber
ated , and Trcnck and hU followers wore to
flea Into Uohemla , The plot was betrayed ,
however , and the conspirators fled pro-
uiaturaly , but not before tbelr commander ,
. N'lcholAl. J had done his utmost to butter down
I ( the I door of Trenck's cell , so tb.it ho might
| i accompany them.
] Not long after this fourth failureTrenrk
got ( Into a quarrel with one of his guards.
] i Lieutenant | Bach , a big , hot-tempered Danij
I and a noted duelist. No other weapons
. t'olng ' ' at hand the pair broke up the table
I and each seized a long splinter. With these
, j
! Improvised swords they tout-lit desperately ,
| Trcnck clearly getting the best of the en-
( i counter. Tlit > guard. In admlratlor. for the
skill i of his young opponent , embraced him
; , rapturously ' nnd cri-M : "Frlriid. thou art
j my master , and thou must , thou shall , by
j I my , aid , obtain thy liberty , as stiro as my
name i Is llacb. "
Shortly after this Incident Trcnck and
Schell , a discontented guard , each with a
sword In baud , made a dash down the
stairs , but what was their dismay to come
J face to face with the town mayor and the
j adjutant. For an Instant only wcro they
baflled , , however , for Schell stepped out upon
the rampart and made a desperate leap over
the parapet , closely followed by Trenck.
The cannon thundered from the fortress
thu announcement of their escape , and the
whole countryside was roused to a lookout
for the fugitives , but providentially a dense
fcg favored them , and lamed nnd bleeding
as they wore , from their fearful leap , they
managed , aftrr several hairbreadth escapes ,
to cross safely Into Uohemla.
After a five weeks' tramp In hunger and
misery the pair arrived at Hammer , where
lived Trenck's married slater. Instead ,
however , of being received with open arms ,
as ho had anticipated , ho was repulsed and
driven like a dog from the door. Hut ho
found one friend there , for a servant who
had been brought up In his father's bouse
came after him , and with tears of compas
sion in her eyes , pressed Into his bands
three ducats , all the money shepossessed. .
Another month of wretched wandering ami
Trcnck fell among friends. To do Justice
to the adventures that befell him during
the next few years would extend this arti
cle beyond all reasonable bounds ; suffice It
to say that he found his way Into the Rus
sian service , and under the Empress Eliza
beth bo rose rapidly to wealth and position.
Hut even here his Prussian enemies pursued
him. and once through their machinations
he came most alarmingly near to being sent
to S-lberla.
When Trc-nck had reached the ago of 24
his cousin died , leaving him heir to bis Im
mense estates In Hungary. Listening to the
advice of his friends , ho decided to return
and claim the legacy. It was not without
some misgivings that ho did so. however ,
for he bnw that his residence In Austria
might lend color to tbo charge that be was
In league with the enemies of bis native
country.
Four yearn after ho had come to Austria
his mother died at Dantzle. and Trenck.
feeling assured that by this time all ani
mosity toward him had been forgotten , vis
ited Prussia to settle up some of his family
{ -fairs. ( Alas' ho had sadly miscalculated ,
for bl. enemies had been on the watch ,
and shortly after his arrival at Uantzlc ho
v.as hurried away to the fortress at Magde
burg.
lie thus describes his dungeon : "It was a
casemate , the fore part of which , 6 feet
wide and 10 feet long , was divided by a
pally wall. The small window , sot In a
wall 7 ftet thick , was en situated that I
could see neither heaven nor earth , but
only the roof of the magazine. This win
dow was secured with Iron bars. I had a
bedstead , n small atovo nnd a stool , all of
which was Immovably Ironed to the floor.
My dally faro was a. pound and a half ot
ammunition bread and n Jug of water. "
After two tntilths of > eml-starvatlon In this
wretched hole , Trenck began to execute a
plan of tssrape. Ills first move was to
loosen the Iron which fastened his stool
to HUboor. . After much exertion ho suc
ceeded In breaking this off , securing thus
a stout Iron bolt about IS Inches long.
With this ho attacked the wall that opened
Into the adjoining casement , having learned
from a friendly guard that the door of this
second casement was left unfastened , nnd
that If ho broke through ho might escape
by means of a boat on the Kibe. Thus en
couraged , he labored Incessantly. Every
brick and stone he carefully marked , so
that bo might replace them for Wednesday's
vklt. The mortar he got rid of by pow-
derlug It and pushing It out on the win
dow sill , where the breeze scattered It. He
was exceedingly careful about this , as nny
accumulation under his window would In
evitably bo noticed by the sentry ; so. to
facilitate the scattering , he made a brush
nut of 1-N hair and a splinter of his bed
post , and with this he pushed the powdered
mortar within range of the breeze. When
Iho wind failed he made the mortar
up Into little pellets with water , and
blow them through a paper tube out through
the window.
After nix months of hand labor , nothing
but the brick facing on the opposite sldo
of the wall stood between him and liberty.
Ho then replaced everything , replastored
the hole , and dried the fresh plaster with
the heat of bis naked body. With the aid
of a friendly guard , ho next dispatched a
message to the ambassador at Merlin , ask
ing him to have a boat ready on the Kibe.
As luck would have It. this message fell
Into the hands of Weliigarten , the ambas
sador's private secretary , and this unmiti
gated scoundrel , who was really a spy In
the pay of Prussia , having secured from
Trcnck an order for 1,000 florins , made
known the whole plan of escape to the Prus
sian govprniront.
The unfortunate Trenck was now worse
off than ever. The king. Incensed at his
efforts to escape , had a special dungeon
built for him In the star bastlcn , and
thither , with eyes bandaged , ho was pies-
cntly conducted. The chamber was ten
fct-t long and eight bread. His only seat
was four bricks built Into a corner of the
wall ; his only air and light that which fil
tered through a small hole secured by Iron
bars. Let Into the floor was a gravc-
stbno tmcrlbed with his name and carved
with a death's head. Hut , as If this were
not enough , poor Trenck was leaded down
with chains. An Iron ring as broad as one's
hand was riveted around his body , chained
to which was an Iron bar having bracelets at
Its ends , which secured his hands His feet
were chained to a ring In the wall. Here ,
surely , was enough to break down the stout ,
tut heart , and , Indeed , for awhile Trcnck
abandoned himself to despair.
Hut his courage eocn returned and ho sot
to work once more to regain his liberty.
Ily a moat prodigious effort be succeeded
In bending , ami at length breaking the
links that bound htm. Hlecdlng from half a
dozen wounds , ho crawled to tbo door nnd
examined It. To his great Joy bo found It
to be of wood. As the visiting hour was ap
proachlng ho replaced his manacles , bind
ing them together with a thread woven
from , his hair. As soon as the official * had
departed ho again removed his bonds ami
vigorously attacked the door with a knlfo
which ho had managed to conceal when ho
waa removed from hU old prison. Through
ono dcor ho cut , and then , hope high In his
he-art , he attacked another. Alan , before
his work was completed the knlfa bladu
snapped and became useless. The wretched
prisoner sank to the floor In an agony of
despair. Seizing the broken blade he
gashed the veins in his left arm and fool
and with a frenzied laugh watched the llfo
blood oozing slowly away.
Uut the end was not yet. Suddenly ho
heard his name called. It was the voice
rf Gefhardt , his friendly sentinel outside
bidding him liavo courage nnd promising
him aid to escape. Leaping to bis fee
Trenck tore his wlilrt Into strips and bourn
up his wounds. Then , realizing that ho
might bo roughly treated when the guards
came and found the doors cut and their
prisoner unchained , he hastily prepared for
defense. With the Iron bar that bad de-
cured his hands ho broke up the bricks
which formed his eat and piled them In the
middle of his cell. "When noon came am
the Irut ) of the doors wag unlocked , " saya
Trenck , "all wcro astonished to IInd the
second open. Thcro I. otood , a desperate
man. besmeared with blood , the plcturo o
horror , with a brick In one hand and in tlio
other my broken knife , crying an they ap
proachcd : 'Keep off , Mr. Major , keep off
Tell tbo governor I will llvo no longer li
chains , and that here I otand , If so ho
pleauui , to be shot ; for so only will I bo
conquered. Here no roan shall enter I wll
destroy all that approach ; hero arcmy
weapons ; hero will t dlo In itwplto of
tyranny ! "
Trenck meant what ho said , and every attempt -
tempt to enter was mot by a volley of
bricks , until at length the guards vent for
i tlu goverror , who succeeded In arranging
' with hi * dctperate prisoner A favorable ca-
1 pltulatlon. Trenck's submission was tin-
i doiibtedly due to his tni.it In the promise
of his faithful friend , Oofhardt.
i Aa soon as he had recovered from his
wounds , hli old chains were replaced by
stronger ores , a heavy neck Iron was added ,
and a new door was made , securely plated
, with nietKl. The total weight of his clulns
| was now sixty-eight rounds.
. About this time Trenck's pen < oual appearance -
] pearance began to trouble him. He com-
j plained that his beard , so long unshaven ,
. gave him a grim appearance. "I began , "
says he. "to pluck It out by the rooU. The
I i i > i ln at flrst was considerable , especially
around tbo lips , but this. also , custom con
quered , and I performed this operation In
the following ye.irrf * once every six weeks. "
As soon as the excitement caused by his
last Attempt had passed , Oefbardt managed
to send htm a couple of Hies , and with
these Trcnck started once more to work
himself free. When examination day came
round he tilled up the gnp * he had made. In
his Irons with damp bread , colored with the
dust of his filings. As soon as his limbs
were free bo began to tunnel bis way out ,
Ciefhardt supplying him with bags for the
rubbish and emptying them for him during
sentry guard outside his cell. He had to
work at this naked , for otherwise the dirt
upon his clothing would betray him. After
five months of hard work he bad dug .1
passage thirty-seven feet long , and he was
Hearing the end of MX task , when one day
the clanking of his neck Iron , which ho
could not remove , was heard by ouo of tbo
sentries , who Immediately Informed the gov
ernor. Poor Trenck was allowed to labor
on In blissful Ignorance , however , and when
at last ho broke through , what was his
dismay to find himself face to face with
the town mayor and a body of soldiers.
Without a wc-rd the broken-splrlled prisoner
crept back to his dungeon coll.
The passage was filled up , the floor was
aid with stone , and Trenck was submitted
to a closer watch than over. During the
months which followed ho employed his time
n writing satirical verses and complaints ,
uslug for Ink his own blood. He wrote In
this manner no less than eight volumes.
As soon as bis guards had relaxed their
vigilance a little he began work once more
on his old tunnel. Thin time Inllulte cau-
; lon enabled him to reach the point of
breaking out without discovery. Unfortu
nately , a flplrlt of bravado came over him
and overthrew his most promising plan.
Sending for the major , ho told him to In
form I'rinco Ferdinand that any day ho
might name llaron von Trenck would show
himself at liberty upon the glacis of Klos-
terbergen. "If I p'rove myself capable of
this. " ho added. "I then hope for the pro
tection of the prince , who will relate my
proceeding to the king , who may thereby
be convinced of my Innocence , and the per
fect clearness of my conscience. "
The major went away astounded. Pretending
tending to have consulted Prince Ferdinand ,
ho returned and demanded an explanation.
Trenck , absolutely unsuspicious of double
dealing , told him everything. He wa con
ducted to the guard room , kindly treated
and led to believe that clemency was to be
extended to him. Hut , alas , ho learned too
late that not .one word of his message had
reached the prince , and when he was led
back to his cell the passage ho had labored
over so hopefully had been most effectually
closed with large square etoncs.
While the smith was riveting upon him
chains moro strong than ever Trctick. with
courage still undaunted , cried out to the
olllcer In charge , "I tell you I shall not be
much longer In your power , for were you to
build a dungeon of steel It would not be
sufficient to contain me. "
He did not need to make another attempt ,
however , for Oeneral Ulcdt took up hU
cause most vigorously and very soon nn
order was given for his release. For HOIUO
thirty years he knew no moro the horrors
of a dungeon , but on bis visiting France at
the time of the revolution ho was arrested
as a spy. cast Into prison , and finally bo-
headed. This was In 1794. Trenck being then
CO years of age. So lived and died the most
persecuted man of modern times.

The Health Culture club of Brooklyn had
an Interesting meeting at the residence of
Its president , Mrs. bumf-den. Whllo the
object of the club .Is health culture , In
respect to all the details of life. Its favorite
field Is tbo Improved and 'hygienic wearing
apparel. Mrs. Lumsden made a graphic
speech. In which she brought forward tin-
latest Ideas In medicine and physical
science. She spoke of the folly und even
criminality of permitting skirts to sweep
the ground In walking In the street or
country , or to touch the floor In sick rooms ,
or houses where Ihero was any disease.
Tlio skirts acted as brooms , and stirred
up more or less dust. In which there
wcro always microbes and disease germs
of various kinds. There was no doubt that
long skirts and petticoats had brought
dUeaso anil death into many a household
which would not have otherwise been
affected. In the discussion which followed.
It appeared that all the members were op
posed to the present practice of having the
skirt touch the ground , and at tbo same
time they objected to wearing them so short
as to attract comment or notice. It was
agreed , after a very thorough discussion ,
that a happy medium was to wear skirts
three Inches from the ground , and to leave
from the petticoat , as well as from the
skirt , all lace , edging and other decorative
materials which served to cither gatherer
or to retain dirt and dust , reserving the
use of lacing , trimmed and edged skirts
and petticoats to the household or similar
places.
The best way to cure disease It to drive It
from the pystem by purifying the blood
with Hood's Sarsaparllla.

terval a large proportion of the mate pouu-
latlon of Omaha nml a few of the other sex
are divided Into two classes , losers nnd
winners. Not that nny great amount of
money has been loat and won In heavy
bets , for very few people had stllllclent
ready money to plunge to any considerable
extent. Hut so Intense was the Interest In
the result that nearly everyone had some
thing at stake on the result. As far as
general results wcro concerned they were
not la evidence In the betting. There were
a few over-euthuslastlc Individuals who
professed to believe that Hryan would bo
elected , but ns far as can be learned not
.1 dollar was bet In this vicinity on that
proposition. Then- were a few omull beta
taken at S aud 10 to 1 on McKlnley. but
the small end was snapped up like the
long oddc In a horse race , as n mere pos
sibility. Soon after the Chicago convention
n local dry goods firm offered to bet J5.000
that Bryan would be elected , but when
the proposition was accepted the offer was
withdrawn.
The bulk of the betting In Omaha was
on Nebraska , and In the aggregate a nice
bunch of money was won on the rrault In
this state. The republicans wcro overconfident
fident nml a good many of them have empty
pockets to show for their error In Judgment.
The action of hundreds of worklngmcn In
wearing .McKlnley buttons , marching In the
sound money parades nnd dually voting for
Bryan caused n lot of money to be placed
that would nevifr have been loat If the
voters had stood out openly for their con
victions. The bulk of the money that was
placed In Omaha wns put up during the
last day or two of the campaign aud after
this rriu't of the poll was known. A lot
of republicans Imagined that they were
betting on a sure thing and some of them
are still puzzled to arcnunt for the result.
WON ALMOST SIX THOUSAND.
Hugh Murphy Is undoubtedly the heaviest
winner In Omaha and probably In Nebraska.
He placed nearly J8.000 , mcst all of which
waa on this state. He lost one or two small
bets on majorities In other states , but came
out about J3.COO winner. Jack Morrison was
also heavy winner on Nebraska , but his
winnings were largely swallowed up In an
unfortunate wager of Jl.fiOO that Bryan
would carry twenty-three states. Charley
Lenlz won about J300 nnd a number of ether
people were lucky to the extent of amounts
ranging from J30 to $ L00. Frank Ban-let
backed his faith In McKlnley by a number
of good sized beta on Nebraska and John
Louis Icrit one bet of $200 that Douglas
county would give McKluley moro than 3,000
plurality.
These were some of the heaviest plungers
but the bulk of the money that changed
hands In Omaha was Involved In a vast
number of smalt bets ranging under $50.
Almost every one bet something , and al
though the amounts were small In each case ,
the aggregate. If It could be accurately CTtl-
mated. would foot up a considerable i < uni.
There were numerous small bets that Mr-
Klnley would come to Douglas county with
a plurality and others that his plurality In
the county would bo 2.000 and upwards.
There was very little betting on local con
tests. One be.t of $100 nnd another of 450
on the gubernatorial fight were placed at the
Paxton hotel nnd tlmc were about all that
were tnadron the state ticket.
BBTS WITHOUT MONEY.
The number ot bets In which no money
consideration was involved was probably
greater than In any previous election. The
wheelbarrow chestnut was worked to Its
full capacity and a dozen similar proposi
tions were agreed to by enthuslatlc parti
sans. As a result ono of the motormcn on
the Sherman nvenuo line has an engage
ment to wheel another one from the power
house at Twentieth and Nicholas streets to
Fourteenth and Farnam streets and back
again and the other employes of the road
have laid by a stock of eggs , old cabbages
and similar bric-a-brac with which to en
liven the procession. Tuesday night Henry
Luddlngton of the Merchants' Kxpress com
pany will wheel William FInney ten blocks
from Tenth and Pacific streets ami return
and their friends are preparing to make
file occasion Interesting for the loser.
There are a number of customers who
would have been shave ? free for a year If
McKlnley had carried Nebraska , but now
they will pay Adam Morrcll a quarter
apiece for their shaves during the name
period. A local piano tuner will have bin
profits wliaved down during the year , for
ho Is now compelled to take care of the
pianos of a number of his customers frco
of charge. But probably none of this class
of losers are more deserving of sympathy
than two or thrre employes of a Lower
Farnam street publication. In the elation
of spirit that followed the nomination of
Bryan they swore a solemn oath not to
take a drink of anything better than min
eral water until ho was elected. For three
weary months they nourished a thirst that
was to be satisfied on the morning of No
vember 4 and now they "sust carry It for
at least four years longer.
A couple of High school boys wore prin
cipals In a bet which Is tough on the loser.
For a long time past there has been a
rivalry between them as to which should
have the privilege of walking home from
school with one of the feminine immbcrM
of their class. The controversy wns fin
ally left to the people of the United
States to decide and the young mui who
pinned his faith to silver must sit on the
fence aud see his successful rival go by.
We heard a mcrhanle say that ho would
not bo without .Sal\ation Oil. It kills pala.
DoNi-rx rilly IMiulxlM-il.
It occurred at the boarding house of Mrs.
Flapjack , oj Rcsn nvenue , relates Texas
Sittings. Mrs. Flapjack was carving the
breakfast macl < irol , when she spoke up and
3fild :
"I see that a MIsn Finch , n girl living In
Ohio , hail been living eighty days without
food. "
"U that all ? " remarked Rllhooly. sadly.
"I've boarded hero for the last seven years. "
Ho got the head of the mackerel for hl |
share that morning.
