(Chicago Intci-Occan.)
There are four men in Chicago who
will never forget Silas Tatniao's visit to
(ho city. It will be many duyti before
those same uien will be able to show up
atiain at the depots to prey on the codG
nco of rural htranujers.
When Silas came to town Saturday he
came with the avowed intention ol rc
vcri"itm himself on a smooth spoUd
uiif" man who had met him on a fur-
nier vifcit nnd bad relii:ved bim of a car
pet sack containins; tho visitur's tuoDoy
aud a return ticket. He did Dot expect
encounter the same fellow, but made
up bis mind to administer to the first
man who claimed to know him the warm
est reception the scouodrel had ever met
with.
Tatman came id from Bunkum. Iiurik-
uiu is not on the map, and one could go
tho place with a repeating rifle and
shout all the inhabitants without reload
ing. But small as it is, it can boat of
citizen who outwitted four of the clev
erest "con" men io Chicago.
Buukum is also renowned for its large
ornets nests and the warlike and
grouchy" disposition of their occupants
In Tat man's bog lot hung one of these
nests from the limb of a locust tree. It
was a gigantic specimen and the terror of
the neighborhood.
Tho morning Silas left for Chicago he
went out in the hog lot early, before the
hornet's were astir. Ho took wiih bim
an old green carpet bag, and this he
opened and slipped carefully around the
oblong nest, clcsing the clasp quickly
with out losing a hornet. , When he
took the train later in the day be smiled
with delight as he thought of the har
rowing scene that would take place when
the carpet bag was opened.
When Silas arrived at the depot, in-
steud of going to the hotel, he sat down
in the smokin" room and waited. His
mission was similar to that of a cobfl
encc Ulan. Ho was io quest of a atran
Her who would cultivate Ms ac
quaintance only to rob him of hi
hornets and regret it to his dying day
Occasi ually Tatman would look down
at the carpet bag As he did he shook
wiih glee.
The Uuukum farmer had not been
sealed five minutes when ho was ap
proached by a fellow with a sharp in
quisitive nose and a checked suit. ' Ah,
ha!" though Tatmant, as the stranger
extended his hand, "I've got you."
"I believe I know you," said tho
sharp nosed iodivldual "Let me sec you
are f rom"
"Bunkum," replied Tatman.
"To be sure; Buukum. And your
.ame is
"Tatman."
"Why, of course. How are you Mr
Tatman?"
"Toleruble," aDd Tatman looked down
at his hornets and ohuckled. ,
My name's Cunningham," went on
the stranger, graspiug one of Silas' hands
in both bis own. "Vou remember, 1
was visiling iu Buukum a few years ago
with Banker a. Oh, I never can
remember names. You know who I
mean though, lie's the princip'c bank
er id your town.
There nevor was a hanker within twen
ty miles of Bunkum, but Fanner Tatniau
was playing a hand, so he said, "Know
im? Well, I should say I do. lou
mean old 'Squire Jones."
"Jones, of course. Hu, ha, hal Strang'
I couldn't remember the name."
"Ha, ha, ha! 'Twaa kiuder I'unuy.''
and Silas fairly danced with j y "L
reckon thnr hain't a nico quiet little
place somewhere where a feller can talk
with a friend what he ain t secu I r ni;
on to two years." Thii ws just what
Cunningham wanted.
"Oh, yes," said ho io his soltest tones
"I know lust tho nueo. Its not over
block Iron) here."
"Then, I reckon wo might as well go
it you'ro sure it's safe walking through
tho streets with as much money as I've
got iu tl.io hero satchel."
At the word money Silas detected an
expression of eagerness sod pleasure un
the scoundrel's face, and the follow s fin
eers seemed to itch an the two walked
along.
"Arn't you afraid," said he, "of being
robbed?"
" Woll, you just bet yer sweet life tho
fellow whoopensold Silas Tatman's valise
will be sorry," and the Bunkum farmer
smiled inwardly.
Hero Cunningham turned on a little
sido street, leading his friend by the arm
About half way down the block they
turned into a dark and dingy-looking
saloon. Cunningham spoke familiarly
to the barkeeper, who directed them to
wine room in the back of the place. The
two sat down at the table and were joined
presently by throe other men. Ona
them was a fat man, who tried to get
Tatman to play oards "just for fun."
Another one of the nion wore a white
Test and a polka dot necktie. Ho did
all the talking, and after Cunningham
had whispered a few words in the fellow's
ear he could hardly keep his eyes off the
carpet bag. He was introduced lo Tatman
as Thomas W. Blooiufiold, the board of
trade man.
"It seems, Mr. Tatman," said Bloom-
field, "that you aro very careless with
your money. Mr. Cuuningham tells me
that you carry iu your satchel."
"Vou bet I have got a lot of moDcy in
that 'ere old carpet bag. I was kinder
thinkin' of speeulatin' with it."
"Perhaps you would like to have me
invest in wheat, I tbiuk you could make
a big stake."
"I'm kinder 'f'raid of ln.-in' it."
"Oh, tiot at all; not if it's well iuvestcd.
l'eople only lose their money through
carelessness. But of course sohio one
has to lose moDcy to keep the stuff pro
perly in circulation."
"Well, I hain't got much money to
lose, and I'm feared if I was to open
that 'cro bag that mine would get to cir
culating and you bet it would circulate
mighty dern fast."
"Well, if you did lose it it would stick
to some one's fingers."
"You bet your blame life she would,
and she'd stick purty gol darned fast."
"So you don't want me to invest it for
ynu?"
"I'm a little bit seary 'bout putting it
in wheat."
"No risk whatever," said BloomficU.
"Why, I tell you, Mr. Tatman, a good
speculator can pick money off the trees
here in Chicago."
lilooru field's expression tickled Tatman.
He laughed uproariously, and said :
"You can pick it off the trees in Bun
kum, too, but you can't do it long, 'cause
it circulates too dern fast."
By this time the men were growing
impatient, Tatman noticed that they
looked more frequently and longer at the
carpet-bag. He thought it about time to
take his revenge, so he said :
"Well, gentlemen, I reckon I'd better
be goiu', and I'd like to leave that 'ere
money with you, so as it'll be safe when
I huut up a stoppin' place."
The men were perfectly willing to ac
commodate Farmer Tatman. They as
sured him that the carpet-bag and its
coutents would be perfectly safe, and
that they would be willing to wait uutil

came back.
"Much obliged, uentlemen," aud Tat
man arose. " lisn t very olten mat a
feller meets such kind friends as you are
iu a strange city, and it s kinder sootliiu
ter ktiuw that a fellow's leaviu' his
money wiih honest people. I leekou
I'll be back iu about an hour." And
Tatman once more thanked his friends as
passed out of tho room, closing
the door behind him.
Tatman did not lcavo the saloon, as
the men expected. By a clever dodge
managed to slip the key of the door
in his pocket before ho left tho room.
He remained on tho outside long enough
to silently turn the bolt io the lock, after
which he slipped into tho adjoining room.
He did not wait long before he heard one
of the men say:
Well, that was tho easiest snap I ever
saw. fellas recognize the voice as tnat
ot Cunningham, then Uloointield an
swered :
"Easy I Why, you oould rob that fool
before bis eyes and he wouldu't know it
Hand up the granger's gripsack."
Tatman heard the sound ol the gup-
sack striking tho top of the table. Then
ho heaid them prying at the locks. Pres
ently he heard the clasps give, and in an
other instant a piereiog yelp rent the air.
Whack! Crash I Bang I Tho chairs
were upturned and tho table was tumbled
over in the mad scramble for the door.
Then he heard some one say. "Great
heavens! They're hornets and the deior
is I eked "
The howls and yelps which followed
brought the burieudcr and the proprietor
to tho scene. Tho Bunkum farmer
seized the opportunity to slip out of the
saloon, and as he was passing into the
street ho heard tho door crash iu as one
of the men on tho icsido dealt it a blow
with a chair. Over his shoulder he saw
a stream of I ornets sail alter tho barlen
der.
Twenty iniuutes later, from his ret rent
in the alley across tho street, Tat limn
saw his five friends limping out nl tin
saloon to tho ambulanc", whi. h had been
called to the curbstone.

"Me and pa," bragged little Clarence
Hennypcck to his chum, of another vil
lage, "have been having ah of a time
We "
"Gee," interrupted the other boy, in
astonishment. "I never heard you swear
before, and you'd hotter not let your pa
hear you, either! He'd strap you good.
"Hoo! No ho wouldn't! Hcwould't
even tell mo to stop; he'd encourage mo.
Toll you what we've been a-doing; me
and pa have been up in the woods ever
since yesterday forenoon, fishing, sleep
ing in an old tumbledown cabin, and
doing just as wo pleased. Pa told me I
could say anything and do anything I
wanted to; go in swimming as I liked,
and stay in as long as I pleased; rob bird's
nests, and act just as bad and mean as I
had a mind to. He gimme some chew
iDg tolaccoand told me to go ahead and
learn the filthy habit if I wanted to; and
he said I could sass him and talk back
all I liked. He gimme an old pistol, too,
and some powder, and told me I could
fire it off nt the risk of my life just as
often as I blamed pleased, and blow my
head off if I wanted to, and nobody should
stop me. Ho had a bottle with something
red io it, and he drank out of it pretty
often, and hollered apd whooped and sung
and cussed and said ho was a big Ingum
and don't you forget it! Oh! you bet your
neck, me and pa had a big time and
didn't give a rip for nothing!"
"Whillikins! Y'our pa is a good man
and wouldu't do anything of the kind;
why, he takes up the collections at church!
I believe you are lying."
"No, ain't neither. My pa is a good
man, all right enough, but he just had to
bu st loose! He said he was obliged to
assert himself or become a nonentity, if
you know whai that is?
"Aw, yes! It meant some kind of
married man; I know by the way paused
the word. But I'll tell you how it all
happened: We uaiued the baby yester
day. At breakfas time ma said we'd
name the baby without the usual fuss and
worry; and pa said all right, we'd name
her Alma. Aunt Furby said there was
no use in having any bother about it, be
cause she had already selected the name
of Dorcas for the baby. Uncle Bickctts
id cetainly thero was no use of having
a discussion when Mary Ann was the
only decent name for a girl baby. I said
Mamie would be a bully name lor ber.
"Ma simply snapped her jaws and said
she had selected Gwondolin for the baby's
name. And I said 'Huh!' and Aunt
Furby said 'Nonsense!' and Uncle Hicketts
laid pish!' and pa said if he had a daughter
who was disfigured with the name of
Gwendolin he'd bore her head for the sim
pies. Ma called pa a brute and pa called
ma a woman. Aunt Furby called Unci
Rickctts a doddering old bachelor and he
called her a mumy. Pa said something
about running his own house yet awhile

dropped his cano, aud Aunt Furby picked
it up anil waved it arouud in the air, and
pa dodged and fell down with his head io
a flower pot. I laughed, and Lncle
Rickctts shook mi down out of the tree
and kicked me when I lit, and Aunt
Furby tanned my jacket with (be cane.
I ran away and pretty soon pa came
after me. We had a talk around the
oorncr and pa said me and him was no
better than a couple of serfs, and we'd
just gooff somewhere where we oould assert
our selves So wo wot to the woods Pa

A lawyer who was engaged in settling
p the affairs of an cstato was some
what worried over the loss of certain
letters and papers, says Tho Chicago
Record.
The deceased hadbeco a careless person
and ho had mislaid several documcots
that wero of imporlancu to his heirs.
Having been called away from this
earth on a hasty summons, lie had not
given tho lawyei any instructions before
hand.
The lawyer had a hopeful friend who
believed in clairvoyaney and second sight.
This fiiend went to a woman who was
the seventh daughter oi a seventh daugh
ter, and who could read the stars at sight,
and told her of the lawyer's search for
the papers.
Tho clairvoyant or fortune teller or
whatever she may have been went to see
tho lawyer,
The lawyer was skeptical. "I really
believe 1 can fiud thee papers for you,"
said she. "If you care to employ me I
shall at least endeavor to find them. A
few weeks ago I found a lost will for a
family on the north side.
"You really think you can find these
pers?"
"I am quite sure of it."
"You go ahead and find them and I'll
pay you liberally."
"But I must receive every assistance
from you and the relatives of the de
parted. I must bo taken to his home
and put in sympathy with his former
surroundiogs."
"Not much. I'll not go to all that
trouble. I think you're a fraud.
The woman gave him a stony state
and swept out of the room.
About five minutes later she re-en
red the office. She appeared to be
itated. " Excuse me for coming back
she said, "but did I leave a small black
bag in here? I wouldn't lose it for the
world."
"I haven't seen it. You don't reinein

"I can't imagine."

THIS PECULIAR CAMPAIGN.
One of Its Funny Incidents Related and
Vouched for by a Kansas Paper.
The following is a true story, illus
trative of tho peculiar political changes
going on:
Down at Coldwater there is a banker
who has been a lifelong Democrat. At
Wichita he has a lifelong chum that has
been a lifelong Republican.
They visited each other two or threo
times a year, and most of their time was
pent in trying to convince each other
that they were wrong politically.
Tho Wichita man met tho Coldwater
man last winter, and ho appealed to bim
strongly to come over to tho Republicans
and find satisfaction aod that peace of mind
that it brings. The Coldwater man
could not bo persuaded.
Finally the Democratic convention
was held in Chicago, with results fa-
milliar to cvreybody.
The Coldwater man changed his politics
and became a Republican. He felt good,
as every Deuiocrat does who sees the error
of his ways He could nut keep his joy
to himself, so he took ihe train and came
post hasto to Wichita, and went direct to
the home of his friend.
"Well, Ed ," said he, reaching out bis
hand, "I feel gocd and could not help
coming np to tell you about it."
"That's it another buy?"
"Guess again."
"Struck a gold mine?"
"It's better thaDthat.
"Rich uncle died, eh?"
"Still better."
"What, has your inotlicr-iu-law
you?"
" Well, it's nearly us good that."
"What is it, for goodness sake?"
"I have seen the error of my ways
have turned Republican and am hurrah-
ins for McKiolcy. Shake on that, old
boy."
He didn't shake, hut hung his head.
"Why, Ed., old boy, what's the mat
ter with you? Why don't you shake
and welcome me into your ranks?"
"If you want to be with mo politi
cally, said Ed., "you'll have to change
back again."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean simply that I have changed
myself. I am hurrahiug for Bryan

Beautiful beyond descriptun is the
Yildiz palace of the Sultan in Coostao
tinoplo. In treating of it an English
writer says: Yildiz stands on the sum
mit or the highest hill of the capital,
aod here bt fore us lay a largo lake or
artificial river, covered with oaiques
and boats of ull shapes, an electrio launch
among others. Tho gardens sloped to
the lake on ull sides, the lawns as green,
the turf as well kept as in the best Eng
lish Hardens. Exquisite shrubs and
palms wero planted in every direction,
while the flower beds wero a bl.ni of
color. The air was almost heavy with
the scent of orange blossom, nnd gardeners
w to busy at every turn sprinkling the
turf, even (he crisp gravel walks with wa
ter. The harem wall, now on our right,
rose no longer bare, but covered to the
very top, with yellow and white Bank-
sia roses, heliotrope, sweet verhena,
passion flowers, clo. Thousands of white
or silvery gray pigeons tho prophet's
bird flew in and out of a huge pigeon
house, built against the walls, half hidden
by the creepers, and the whole scene was
lighted up by the brilliant eastern sun-
ight, in which every object stands out
so clearly tbut one's sense of distance is
almost lost. At the end of the lake is a
duck decoy, where the Sultan often
amuses himself with shooliug, an I f ir
beyond this we enuld catch glimpses ol
tho park sloping away toward tho Buy-
phorus.

ml Hit
Suddenly the young man kissed her.
"Pardoa in i, Miss Julia," ho cried in a
tone of penitence. 1 I am very sorry."
The beautiful girl threw up her head
with a haughty air and her eyeglasses
trembled visibly.
"I could forgive tho thelt of a kiss,
Mr. Hankinson," she said coldly, "but
when you tell me you are sorry for it,
then you forfeit every degree of respeot I
might have entertained for you "
Thus one by one the young man is
taught the ureal lessons of life.
The best memory is the one that knows
how to forget judieioualy.
