WISHED HE HAD THE STORY BACK Funny Tnto I.oit on Non-Appr?clatU? Ucrmsa Andleaec. t Col. Adolphus Buscb, who has been doing some booming as a member of the St. Louis Exposition exploiting committee, tolls the following story: "Last summer when I went to Europe I took along my head brewer, whose admiration for his adopted country is only equaled by his desire to appear thoroughly Americanized. Together we visited his native town in Germany, where ho was made much of. Of course they had a 'kommers,' and my companion took the oppor n'niiy 10 endeavor to malto a speech after thv. American style, but In the German language, of course. He start-* ed out boldly, though he 1b no public speaker, and got Along fairly well until ho attempted tho funny story which ho knew should accompany every American speech worthy the name. It was funny, I assure you. as he told It, but his hearers were too well-mannered to laugh at tholr fellow-townsman, and so It fell flat. Discouraged and disgusted by this lack of appreciation of American humor, he droppod heavily into his chair, and, leaning across tho table, whispered hoarsely; to me: " 'I'd gif ten tollars If dot story was pack into mo.'

Sir Womyss Reid's now biography on William Blank, the novelist, recalls an amusing story of Black's visit to America which has never before appeared in print. It concerns Mr. Black and three literary men, who, as they are still living, we shall designate as Messrs. A.. B. and C. It seems that Black and this interesting trio were having a quiet afternoon at poker, into the mysteries of which Black desired to be Initiated. An accompaniment to the game, merely for purposes of accuracy in local color, was a hottle of fine old whisky, which Black had provided, with pride in its high merit. This bottle now becomes at once the hero and villian of the storv for it TV-no on nIH n - V- ? '? long been undisturbed that the fuselnil had collected at the top in dendly strength. All of the party drank lightly, hut the consequences were so unfortunate that one of the literary gentlemen retired and went to bed, and another, a very abstemious man, ascended the staircase of his own home on his hands and knees, and when his astounded wife inquired what was the matter, amiably replied. "M'dear, I wish they wouldn't take th"* banisters off the stairs. Why do they do it, m'dear?" When the four friends met later and compared notes, their experiences were found to be singularly alike, and, the trouble being explained, Black laughingly apologized for his unintentionally dangerous hospitality. The Boston Transcript notes the fact that a woman recently went to a strange town to marry a man whom she had never seen, and says this Is not so strange as that so many wo| men rnarry the men they have seen.

"Fertile as our broad prairies are in Nebraska." said Judge Stark of that state, to a group in the Democratic cloakroom at Washington. "I havo seen the time when men were glad to give awny all the real estate they had, and counted themselves fortunate if they couid succeed in that. "During one of our bad drouth years I met a scrubby-looking team one morning making toward the Kast. The man in the carriage was one of my acquaintance. amW he was on the way back to Illinois, nis old tome. We talked on, and he told me how everything on Ms place had dried up and disappeared till he had only a cart, a cow and a few farming implements | left of all his prosperous assets. " 'My next neighbor,' he continued, growing cheerful at the thought, 'was a Dutchman. I proposed to trade iny cart and cow and remaining farming implements for his horse and wagon here, if he would also accept the deed of eighty acres, half of my land.' " 'He took you up on that?' I remarked. " 'Yes,' answered my friend, cordially. 'You see, the Dutchman could not read, and I needed over to hfin tho entire 160 acres. That is the reason why I sm able now to pull up 3tak?g? for Illinois.'

K1IMS For years I had been a sufferer with chronic stomach trouble, pressure of pas and distress of my bowels. I contracted what the doctor pronounced a low type of malaria. I could not take solid food J at all, and only a very little of the light- * est diet would create fever and vomiting. The druggist sent me a box of Hi- ? pans Tabules, saying he sold more Hi| pans than anything else for stomach I trouble. I not only found relief, but believe 1 have been permanently cured.
