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.

Powderly, of the Kniglus of Labor, said this morning in disonssiug Labor Day. "Kvery phase of the labor question should be analyzed by the labor orators today. Labor day gives the workingman a citauco to voice his sentiments. Labor day dates back to 1882, when the greatest parade New York has ever seen took plaoe." 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.

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. Women are Like Flowers. and bloom. Sickly, they wither and die. Every woman ought to look well and feel well.
