"I think the funniest mistake I over made was last fall while I was donn south. "I was not doing very well there , and had about mada up my mind to como north when I heard of a country faitnnd horse trot tnklng place in ft llttlo town about j fifty miles from where I was. The party to whom I was Indebted for the information also told mo that at Bit oh a tlmo oven tha poorest of the crackers managed to scrape Ji J few dollars together to enjoy themselves with ; so I decided to attend the affair nnd prevent the native * from losing their money betting on the races. "I simply chuckled to myself when I saw the material I had to deal with and I do- cldod off hand that if thoyjiad nny money \\hen I got through with them I was not the man I thought I was. "I was playing the soap game at the time. You know what U is. You wrap a bill around a small cake of soap , nnd with ft llttlo siclght-of-hnnd work you prevail upon some suskcr to buy another cake of soap under the Impresslcn that ho Is buying the ono containing the bill. Well , I opened up nnd was soon surrounded by a curious crowd of natives. " 'Now gentlemen , ' I said , ns I wrapped a twenty-dollar bill around a cake of soap , 'you see I place this twenty-dollar bill around the soap like this , then wrap It up In this piece of paper , drop It in the box with the others and give you the choice of nny cake of soap In the > box for $5. ' "But not n solitary cracker bit at the game. In vain I used nil my wiles. At last , thinking the amount anight bo moro than any of them possessed , I dropped the price to a $1. "At tile point a sport who was following the races cnmo up nnd looked mo over. " 'Well , you are a Jay of Jays ! Say , don't you know that a cracker has no use for soap ? Cut up n plug of tobacco and try them with that. ; "I followed his advice and did a rushing business for the rest of the day. " THU AV1USKY Most ExiioiiKlvc of Ilarrcln Othcr'UNcs to 'Which It IN 1'iit. A whisky barrel of the highest grade costs from $2.50 to $2.75 , nnd It is the most ex- penslvo of all barrels , says the Roanoke World. It Is made of heavy , selected , kirn- drlcd oak , frco from sap a handsome nnd substantial package. Such barrels are made In great cooperages In the west , In the neighborhood of the distilleries , nnd In proximity , when possible , to the forests from which the materials for them are taken. Whisky barrels of the best grade used to cost from $1 to $5. Machinery has been brought more and more Into use In making them , with the result that they are now cheaper than ever before. These barrels are Mkely to bo filled with whisky nnd stored for three years or more before they nro shipped. When n barrel has found Its way to this market nnd IntS the hands of the final distributer and has been emptied. It is bought by a dealer In barrels. There are coopers and dealers in new nnd secondhand barrels who buy all the barrels that offer , and send out nnd gather up barrels , which they buy nnd sell in great numbers. Bought in this manner , the whisky barrer Is Inspected and put In order. If It requires nny repair , nnd sold , It may be , to a whole sale dealer In liquors , to bo used for blended llauors. but It Is much more likely not again to be used as n liquor package , but to be sold for a vinegar or a elder barrel. In this use It is not likely again to get as far away from New York ns the point whence it originally came , and when it gets back hero and has , been again emptied It Is Bold again to the dealer. In the course of its use and travel \t \ may corno to need repairs , a new staVe orHwo , or new hoops. It Is put in ordbr and1 sold again. When it hasWosed to be useful as n vine gar or a clderj barrel , gradually wearing out and becoming cheaper. It Is sold as a pickle barrer qr for sauerkraut , and finally It Is likely to become a tar barrel , and after that it is broken up and destroyed. Not counting the time that It may spend In storage before Its first shipment , the whisky barrel is likely to last through the various stages of its existence , from the tlmo it starts out until the end , two or three years , though much depends upon the care taken ot It ; carefully handled It may last ten years or more. The whisky barrel holds forty-flvo gallons. There Is a cheaper whisky barrel , also made ot oak , but of lighter materials , that costs from $1.50 to $2 , which is used largely by eastern distillers. Great numbers of the heavy barrels are used , larger numbers still of the lighter barrens , which , like the heavy barrels , are made In cooperages In the neighborhood of the distilleries In which they are first used , ot materials drawn from the forests of the region In which they nro situated , or of shooks brought from the west. The life of the lighter barrel Is about the same as that of the heavier barrel , and it Is put to the same uses. Of the lighter barrels , however , thousands , after the first emptying , nro said to go to Scotland. Found Dead In n Stateroom. CHICAGO , Aug. 15. Edward C.

Less than thirty days remain 'bofora the schools open for the fall term and the work of making alterations and repairs nlll Imvo to bo pushed It the rooms nro to bo ready for oc cupancy by September 11. Last March Member Wyman offered ft resolution elution which was adopted requiring the committee on buildings nnd grounds to make an examination of all of the school bulldlncs nnd mnko a report of the repairs needed at the first nicotine In April , The Intention was to Imvo the cost of repairs nnd Alterations estimated and bids advertised for so that the contractors could go to work ns soon ns the schools closed for the summer. This early action was deemed necessary by some of the members for the reason that the heatlnc and ventilating plants at the Drown Park nnd 'Albright schools would have to bo thoroughly overhauled. For reasons best known to themselves the members of the 'board ' did not Insist upon a report from the committee and one was never submitted until Just recently. Now cverythlnc will have to bo rushed In order ( to prepare the rooms. Orders wcro Issued Monday nlcht by the board for the fixing ui > of basement rooms In four of the schools nnd iblds for this work will bo advertised for. lllds arc also asked for painting the .Interior of the High school annex and the exterior of the Al bright school. The board will receive bids for the papering of thirty school rooms and the cleaning of paper on the walls of a num ber of other rooms. As these advertisements for bids will run nt least flvo days the ( bids cannot very well bo opened until next iMonday evening , thus reducing the time for making repairs a full week. Superintendent Wolfe has recommended that the High school annex uo placed In first-class condition , ns ho proposes to have the A , B nnd C classes of the first grade attend school In this building. This move Is considered ono in the right direction , ns It will take all of the smaller children from the High school building nnd place them In a small bulldlnc 'by ' themselves. No pupils below the second grade will bo taught at the Hlch school building. This action of Superintendent Wolfe Is being commended by parents on account of the report that the High school building Is a fire-trap. Lit tle i > ro2ress Is bolng made toward the erec tion of the proposed school building In the Second ward on account of the delay In se curing a title to the ground. The board has virtually approved the plans prepared by Architect Kiewlt , nnd when the deed Is turned over bids for grading nnd erection and completion can bo advertised for. It Is understood that the delay in turning over the deed Is duo to the absence from the city of the owner of one of the lots purchased. J. O. Allen , who acted as agent for the own ers of this property , has ( been requested by the ( board to be prepared to turn the deed over next Monday night. In case this is not done the sale may fall through , nnd then the whole ground will faavo to too gene over again or else the project of erect ing a new building abandoned for the time being.
