SfiJUTCHHSll Itnr of* Ktad. time ago a quartette of Colo­ rado Bucks came to Chicago to swap 'wealth for roaring hilarity and to carmlnate the metropolis. They paid homage to Bacchus until they began to <et somewhat shaky In the legs, and then chartered a hack, and the jamboree commenced In earnest. Af­ ter an hour's tide, with stops at all way stations for refreshments, one of the Big Four took the hackm&n asii!e, ai d with an air ef much impressivness Inquired in a cautious whisper the ex* teut of his claim to their beneficence. Be was quiet about it because the characteristic of a Colorado raansis to Insist on paying for every tiling when l.e knocks around with a crowd. The hackman said hie bill was 910. It was paid, and the carnival pro­ gressed at a rattl'.ng gait. At the next pause to Irrigate another man found an opportunity loexchange a few words with the jehu, in the course 01 which lie inquired the amount of poll , tical influence lie considered himself entitled to. The hackman said lie had no hopes of a post-office, and would have to call : H *t* It WAS paid, and the excurlson re- suined its winding way. In a short time the wheels of the chariot had r again oeased to whirl, and the four gidsome bricks were again looking to the zenith and4hearing something gur­ gle. At tuis pause the third man made It his business to quietly step ' aside and put a few words In the ear of the inquisitire pilot of the expedl- tlon, as'to the nature and extent of his - claim upon their standing In society for the kindness of bis escort. The hackman said that tljats wore hard, and that he could get along with #10. A fain they loaded up and went for­ ward in quest of a still further addition to their prospect lor headache in the ' morning, and, when the corks had pop­ ped and the evant scent sparkler disap­ peared, the remaining philanthropist found an opportunity to get his bteath - lute the neighborhood of the brigand's nose, and with much incoherence of speech wanted to know the extent ot the levy. The hackman said that Colorado people; came his way so seldom he would have to enact a ransom of 910. Once more the wheels were put in motion and a)ong toward morning the booty party brought up a^ the Grand Pacific, and disembarked for good. As they were about te go Into the hotel one of the men said to the hackman: **I paid you, I believer* "Yes," sal I the bold buccaneer, "you d:d." "Bat I paid yon myself, dtdo't 1?" querried the second man. "Yes, sir." "But hold on. I paid the rascal, too. Didn't 1 John?" put in the third. "It runs !<i my bead thai you did." • "But I gave you 910 just a short time Didn't 1?" said the last victim. Tou did, for a fact." 4 And do you mean to say that you liave taken ten dollars from* each one of OS?" '•That's the way|it looks togme." "Well, are you satisfied new* Do yon want any more r* "Just as you please, gentlemen. Suit yourselves, and you'll suit me." "TbUnder man! You^ought to be in congress. You're a credit to Chicago, and I'm proud to know you. Do us the lienor to come in and hare a bottle of Wine with us. What do you say?" "That strikes me," said the man of staggering gall, aS he threw the blauk ets on his horse. And into the hotel the party went and put In the remainder of the night peering wine into the gourmand, with the vain hope that they would crowd him te the wall and make him refuse to take anything more. But he sal up with them till they gave it up as hope Iess, and beat a re reat. Be had learned his trade in Niagara and understood his bueinebs thorough ly, as they found to their cost. This Is not a flight of fancy, but an actual oc- curre neeChicago Ledger, terit now appears probable that the Afghan embrogilo will not result In war. It is surmised that the fact that nearly every name of a town, river, lake or other convenience in the dis- territory ends with "gab" has something to do with ending the •English bluster the same way. A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS Thousands of Acres Plowed with the Flying Dutchman, and Every Claim Made for This Wonderful Plow Fully Substantiated. Why Is this plow so successful and popular ? Because it rnns ONE HORSE LIGHTER than any other plow made. Because the plow is CARRIED, GAUGED AND GUIDED by the use of three wheels. Because tlie plow is IN FRONT of the driver. Because the weight of the driver Is OVER THE FURROW WHEEL, adding but little to the draft, but keeping the plow- down to its work. Because the swivel plate pole PRE­ VENTS ALL SIDi DRAFT or weight on horse's necks. Because it is simple, strong and dur- jlj'jj able, and does first-ciaas work. Illustrated circulars (descriptive).
