WON THE BET,
Bat Old John Will Hardly Wear Iht Hal He
Received.
Some time ago Mr. John G. LaRoque
and Mr. Goode Price, a prosperous Lee
oounty farmer, made a bet as to whether
Mr. Price would market a bale of ootton
in August, Mr. Price betting that he
wonld and Mr. LaRoque betting that he
would not.
About two weeks ago Mr. Price was
confident that he would win his bet and
ho was expressing himself on the cer
tatnty ol doing so to Mr. La-
Ro.|ne in the latter’s office. Mr. La
Roque thought that Mr. Price would
win, too, and he pointed to an old hat,
long since discarded, which was hang-
ing on the wall in his office, and said,
Well, thero's the hat I am going to
give you."
But the rainy weather interfered
with Mr. Prloo's calculations and he
did not get in his bale. He lost his bet,
therefore but he remembered what
Mr. LaRoque had said about the bat he
was going to give him, so he got an old
hat that was in a complete state of di
lapidation, crown off and rim torn, put
it in a now hat box and rent It around
to Mr, LaRoque. The following poem
was enclosed in the box:
Good-bye old hat! You've faithful been
And trac to me for years;
And now that we must parted be,
Is grief too deep for tears.
The bet I made with friend LaRoque
To gin an August bale
Is lost from overmuch of rain.
There's suoh a word as "fail.”
Though tattered now aud torn,old friend
You step into the breach
And save your master five hard planks
Old hat, you are a peach.
Yours in tears,
Goode Prick.
Aug. 81st, 1201.
Mr. Lalloquo brought the poem up to
the Herald oflloe this morning, and he
had written on the bottom of the sheet
the following:
"How is this for Goode's old batf
Would send the hat, but don't like to
losejil, as it is worth four cente.

Prol, Ilmen’s Way.
The following aneoootels related of
Prof, Bnsen, says the Des Moines
Leader: One night he and his wife re
turned from a visit and were about to
enter tho honse.
"My dear,” said tho professor, "It is
too early for me to go to bed. I think
I'll go over to the Rathskeller to drink
a itcoppon with my friends. Yon oan
go to bed awhile, it yon like.”
“But," said the wife, “I must have
the front door looked or I will be afraid
to be alone injtho house."
The professor, who had solved the
most iutricatu problems otaoleuoe, stood
helplussibofot-o the difftoultles now pre
sented. At length his wife had a bril
liant idea.
“I'll go inland look the door from the
ineldo," she|sald. “Then I'll throw the
key out of the .window nnd yon oan go
to your friends.”
“A brilliant woman," said the pro
fessor os his wife disappeared throngh
the door. Qnite a time elapsed before
his wife groped her way upstairs, made
a light and fonnd a pieoe of white paper
in which she enveloped the key. She
threw it into the gutter, from wheuoo it
was fished by Jlier .'admiring husband.
Arriving at theJRathskeller, the profes
sor told his orouies of his wife's billlaut
idea. A shont of|;iaughtor greeted the
conclusion of his story.
"What is| thore^to laugh at?" asked
tile professor.
“You idiot, "(replied one of his friends,
"why didn't yon simply admit your
wife into tlie honse nnd lock the door
from tile ontsldojnnd come away?"
"By Jove 1 1 hadn't thonght of that."
said tile profe-sor.
When lie reached home ntid tried t.o
let himself in lie dlscoved that his wife
had. in her excitement, thrown him the
wrong key.
Berlin, Sept. 1.—It le now very donbt-
ful, according to a dispatch to the Lokal
Anzelger from Basel, Switzerland,
whether Prince Chan will come to Ber
lin to make formal apology for the mar.
der of Baron von Ketteler. Members of
the expiatory mission say: “Uuder
present conditions we oan never go to
Berlin. We wonld rather die than ac
cept them."
It appears that they object particular
ly to Prince Chun's attendants prostrat
ing themselves before Emperor William,
inasmaoh as tills is a special honor re-
served for the emperor of China, and
wonld be a recognition of the kaiser's
equality.
The following information Is given re
garding Prince Ohnn’s speech to the
kaiser:
Prince Chun intended to say : "Tho
Chinese government regrets that Baron
von Ketteler was killed," but the Berlin
government dictated the following form
The Chinese government begs pardon
for tho murder of the German minister,
Baron von Ketteler."
The Chinese in Basel arc trying to
give the case international Importance
by emphasizing the fact that one of the
dignitaries seleoted for prostration was
made a baronet by Queen Victoria,
while another has the cross of the Le
gion of Honor.
It is alleged that Emperor William is
determined that the protocol shall ;be
signed before he receives Prince Ohtro
and that he will lslst upon an apology
for the mnrder of Baron von Ketteler.
Beyond that, however, the oeremony of
reoeption will be deprived of everything
of a humiliating character, full honors
being rendered to Prince Chan, as
brother of Emperor Kwaug So, on his
way to the palaoe.

London, Sept. 2.—"Tha delay in the
promulgation of the edicts necessary to
oomplete the protocol is doe (to the
Clinn dlfflonlty,” says a dispatch to tho
Times from Pekin. "Tne Chinese ver
sion is that Emperor William insisted
upon Prlnoe Chon kotowing, and when
this was refnsed wanted his suite to
kotow.
"For a century past all envoys to
Pekin hare refnsed to perform this bar-
bartons oeremony and there is great as
tonishment here that Germany has
raised the question, as the German mitt
iater is bo anxious to get the protocol
signed that he has today, for the second
time, urged the ministers not to wait
for the ediat, bat to get the protocol
signed and to trust the Chinese envoys
for socuriug the odiot nf torwards.
“In view of the unsatisfactory nature
of tho aims of the edicts, it Is impossible
for Sir Ernest Satow and Mr. Kockhill
to assent to this proposal, although a
majority of the ministers of powers are
willing.
"Owing to tho protract'd delay Mr.
Kockhill has been compelled to decline
the Fronoh offer of a passage to Japan

TO PLANT CANTALOUPES.
Slock Company Forming ol Camilla to Plant
1,000 Acres.
The Camilla Clarion says:
An effort is being made in Oumilla
with fair prospeots of success to form a
stock company for the purpose of culti
vating cantaloupes next year on au ex
tensive scale. The promoters of the
scheme propose to plant a thousand or
twelvo hundred acres of Rooky Ford
oan alonpee out on the Flint, that land
being admirably snlted for the crop aud
having never been planted in melons,
wonld make the best kind o' a fruit.
It is estimated that the cost of cultiva
tion and getting the melons to market
will be #80,000, while with a fair season
and prices the crop ought- to bring at
least #75,000. We are informed that the
company will build or charter two or
three boats to take melons to Bain bridge,
where they will be loaded on cars for
shipment. As the lands are olose to the
river the cost of loading will be small.
