Why Wimmick Didn't Succeed. A man whose business necessarily brings him into eontact with the general public can- not afford to make his disapproval puvlic or outspoken when the habits or customs of a portion of the general public is distasteful to bim. A few years ago, writes a country mer- chant, an old, whimsical and ecentric agricul- turist traded off his farm for a store and general stock of goods in a western Michigan village under tho fond delusion that wealth would pour in upon hym with hardly an exer- ton ou his own part. But, like & good many farmers who have tried and continue to try the same experiment, it soon began to bofevident that old man Wimmick wasn't “built right” to male a success out of trafic. He naturally picked upa little custom, however, but as nature had soured him badly, the practical cclipse of his ambition aaded materially to his aciity, and ho commenced deliberately and probably ignorantly driving away the few buyers that oceasionally visited him. Noticing that his “heavy setters’ wero get- ting far more mumerous than customers, he hung up o conspiouous sign, Teading: Wauted! A fow more able-bodied loung- ers! The result in one respect was emi. nently satisfactory. Every man who had ever warmod his shins by his fire gave the establishment a mental and apparently vin dicti 1.

A fine eighty-acre farm went into is ventire und a forty-acre “hardscrabble’ farm came out of it. But it is more than doubtful_whether the old man’s practical commercial experience has been worth a frac- tion of his losses to him, His Victory Came Too Late. A Detroit wholesalo house sentan agent futo one of the northern counties the other day toinvestigate and report on a failure of adry goods man whoso assets were below zero. The bankrupt was perfectly wilting to expiain how it all happenod. “You see, he said, “I got married about two years ago. Upto that time the post- master and his wife had been at the head of soclety here and run the ranch.

T am sorry it happened, but you can't blame mo. If that postmaster hadii’t made a fool of himself, I'd been able to pay 150 cents on the dollar.” THE ROMANCE OF THE TRAIN, R. G.

There I saw the face that's held me Captive ever sinco the day “That I took my first excursion On tho fast line down the bay, Soft her dark brown eyes were glowing, Ab, her face was wond'rous fair; Faint her pearly s were showing; Glint of gold upon her hair.

The monument of Cus- ter is thirteon wiles from Fort Custer on a ridgoeastof the Little Big Horn river. 1 can not say it is much of an ornament and it certainly is sadly negleoted, Two or three ©oarse granite rocks piled one upon the other, destitute of ornament or finish of any kind, are its outward and visible sign of thé honor the United States has extended to the dead hero. It looks like mookery to me. A sol- dier from the fort infarmed me that the mon- umeni cost $10,00, or at loast that the gov- ernment \*gmprlnbd that amount for its orection. The contractor, I venture tosay, made §3,000 out of the job. I rode over the battlefleld and it is clearly evident that Gen- eral Custer underestimated tho strength of the Indian_horde, and that in turning to ro- treat he mistook the bluff, upon which he afterward®ell, for the beginning of a wide plateau in which he hoped to ride away in safety. He found it a narrow ridge scaroely ten feet wiao and abruptly terminating in a steep descent. At this point stands the ne lected monument over the spot where found his body und those of his men Samples.

At the beginning of this season over four hundred theatrical and operatic companics started out of New York. They twenty people to each company. equal to about ten thousand people, their average of travel per season being between and forty thousand miles, The theat- rical profession of this_country last season paid to railvoads over $4,000,000.

Congressman Mason of Illinois last May in- troduced a bill in ¢ allowing railroads the right to make part es for ten or more people going in one direction. This bill would effect not only the theatrical profession, but everybody. Ithas been the rule, when pas- senger traffic is dull, that railroads would get up excursions, making a rate of one fare for the round trip, but by the *provisions of thi bill, a party of ten_or more people from braska cau go to New York orany woestern city over one line, say the Chicago, Milw: kee & St. Paul and the Pennsylvania r and return by the New York Central, Lake Shore and~ Burlington railwa; thus giving the traveler & chanco to see the co . and not be forced to retura by the same line over which he went, as is now the c This bill was approved by the committee on commerce and so reported to the lower house of congress. We canvassed the house very thoroughly and found every member in favor of it. While we wore wait- ing for our bill to_come up, the Baltimoere & Ohtio road won the case againtt the inter- state comuerce commission, Judge Jackson of the United States court deciding that giv- ing party ratos toten or more did not cause competition and was oot in violation of tue interstate commerce law. The immediate effect of this do- cision was that all railroads throughout eastern and middle states gave party rates to ten or more at 2 cents per mile. This deci- sion accomplished what T had worked five months to do, and we thought our work was fimished. But the conduct of some of the lines west of Chicago is simply shameful, and leads us tothe belief that we will have to_again go to Washineton and geta bill passed, whi we can do without any troudle, as all fair- minded congressmen are opposed to the arbi- trary action of some of the great monopolies in dialing with theatrival people and large traveling parties, 1 make the prediction that it this tyranuy ou the part of the western ds continues, that the best theatrical attractions will not comso west of Cuicago, #5 such men as Jay Gould cannot monopolize east of Chicago s Lo cun west In my own case, in preforence to paying the exorbitant rates usked by some of these lines, Mr. Stuart Robson and myself, who manage Thomas Q.

O LAWS THE PEOPL Some of the Causes of the Stringency the Money Market. To the Bditor of Tur Brr: In response to your request for suggestions ns to what would be to the interest of the whole people in the present session of the Nebraska legis- lature, I would like to say that a usury law, muking usury a crime, is impracticable at this time in part, owing to the stringency in the money market, and in part owing to vari- ous other things. Better that we farmers and small tradesmen as well as laborers suf- fer oppression for a time than to make a fool- ish and usel ion at a time like this. against extortionate rates of uterest when the lender is so completely armed and so fully entrenched. But I think the chattel mortzage law of this state could bear a little revision and still protect the lender, And now as to this stringency in the money market in general, and in Nebraska in_par ticular, have wo farmers not helped it along, and are we not responsible in a largo part for the high rates of intarest? I say we are, and T will givoyoumy reasons in a fow words.

If one potato would pro- duce, when planted, but ten potatoes in ten years, the total product of that one potato would be 10,000,000,000, which would stock the whole world with seed.

Tarpon fishing is at its height now on Indian river, Florida, writes a corre- spondent of the St. Louis Glbe-Demo- crat, and although there are not many fishermen in this neck of the woods as yet, there are a dozen or more who have been having primo sport the last month. A party of six went out n fow duys ago in three boats and returned with eight tarpon, the largest of which weighod cighty-four pounds and was nearly six feet long. The fortunate taker of this big fish, a Mr. Wilson from Illinois, reports hy a big battle with the “silver king,” They were down about five miles from here, and while in a shallow poction of the river his hook was taken with a snap all at once that nearly drew the pole out of his hand. The moment the fish felt the hook he shot off with light- ning speed for 100 yards or so and then sprang into the air several times, ghak- ing his head angrily each time, trying to dislodge the hook,” As it sprang into the air with the water falling from its silver sides, it made a beautiful spec tacle, and the fisherman looked on with glowing eyes at the magnificent sight, A dozen other big tarpon broke water within a radius of a quarter of an acre, all scemingly confused by the frantic leaps and struggies of the one caught. Wilson, it seems, knew how t o handle his prey, and played him well First the tarpon would dart toward the shore with “incredible swiftnessy then start off on a tangent, and then, doub- ling on himself, would strike dircctly for the boat, passing underneath if, and jumping out of the water every now and then, vainly eadeavoring to get rid of the hook. Toward the last it became weakened, and after an_hour’s struggle, and when quite a way from the boat, it seemed to got desperate, once and headed directly for the boat with such rapidity that it looked like a silver arrow cleaving the water. As it approached within ten feet it darted out of the water and fairly leaped over the boat, passing into the water flve feet on the other side, giving the negro oars- man a vicious hit with his tail as it passed him, but its race was soou run, Wilson now rapidly recovered the loose line and wound him in toward the boat, The fish got mad atthis and came on with full speed, striking the boat heavily on the side, and then floated on top of the water, stunncd by the blow, He was a beauty, and tho oarsman had all he could do to get him into the boat. In his last attack the fish had started a board in th side of the boat, through which the wator began pouring, and the occupants had just time to pole into two feet of water when the boat settled under them, They escaped 10 the shore with nothing but a wetting, and Wilson says the fish and game fight he made was well worth the ducking. o Fight It turncd rapidly all at | wllovo and moon £ of water, b wiil cnre 10 Dinrehoea, Sick Hondnohe, ns. 0 couts & bottlo.o Ko AMUSKMENTS, 3 3 — Thres Nights Boyd's & o JANUARY Attract The De Wolf Hopper MONDAY, AG 2.
