This prosperous and enterprising farmer, after wending his way across the vast stretch of Kansas prairio in a cove rod wagon, settled in a beautiful and serene spot on tbe Whitewater, three miles north of Towanda, Butler County. In 74 the grasshoppers came raining down and the outlook for fanning was discouraging but J.

1892. It is said that gold is so very tenacious that a piece of it drawn into wire one-twentieth of an inch in diameter will sustain a weight of 500 pounds without breaking. Its malleability is so great that a single grain may bo divided into 2,000,000 parts, nnd a cubic inch 9,523,809,523 parts, cacli of which, may be distinctly seen by the naked eye. A grain and a half of gold may bo beaten into leaves of ono square, which if intersected by parallel lines drawn at right angles to each only the one-hundredth part of an inch, will produce 25,000,000 littlo squares, eaeii which may bo distinctly seen without tho aid of a glass. The surface of any given nuantity of gold, according to tho best authorities, may ho extended by tlio hammer 310,811 times.

Tho thickness of tlio metal thus extended appears to bo no more than the part of an inch. Eight ounces of this wonderful metal would gild a silver wire of sullleient length to extend entirely nroutul tlio globe. It is rather funny what excuses some, of tho old boys will hunt up to apply for a pension. Tlio other day a rather hearty looking old soldier was asked if ho was drawing a pension. He replied that he was not, but thought he was ontitlcd to one.

Whereupon, the pension agent began rubbing his bunds in anticipation of his ten dollar fee. They repaired to the pension agent's office and whon asked on what grounds he wished to get his pension, replied that he lost his three lingers during the battle of Bull Ilun. Which hand? asked the tigent, ns ho went on filling out the blank application. 1 Neither, replied tho applicant. "Three lingers of whiskey, sir tho bullet went straight through my canteen, but tlio pension agent was under tlio tablo in a swoon.

Tho Australian system, if put Into actual operation, would spoil the schemes of the Topeka ring-masters, and such men ns Col. Taylor wouldnt secure three appointments in a single year. WIND llenry Clews has boon making weekly financial statements for the past year proclaiming each week that business conditions were improving." On Monday last he prefaced his report as follows: Opinions differ as to the results of the past years business of the country; sumo maintaining that neither manufacturers nor merchants have made their usual profits, while others hold that the quiet in business has been due mainly to the conservatism following the crisis of 1990 and that, after all tho business of 1881 has left nearly an average rate of profit. On this question, more, than upon any other condition depends the future course of the stock market, and the current month will solve the problem. After pumping wind into the struggling business men of the country for twelve months, he winds up with a doubt ns to whether tlio year was profitable or tho reverse.

Tho truth and tho sooner wo all understand it the better that a gold and a silver standard are running the business of the country IVe must liavo silver on a parity with a gold or we shall see in a few years a gold aristocracy and pauper serfdom.

As they were unloading it in the dump tho men caught sight of tickets, catching one and examining ho found what thoy were but instead of holding the man until they could hear from Mr, Barnes, they let him go and at last accounts he had not been ciught.
