Stammering Saved Him.
"Stammering is not always an aftlic
tion. I knew a case in which it was a
blessing in disguise." Thus said a con
ductor on an incoming train for New
I York. And he continued:
'There was my friend Dan Buck. He
bad to whistle before he could ask a
man for his fare. He used to carry a
slate, and when he got mad he wouid
write his cuss words on the slate and
hand it to the man he was mad at. He
saved time by it. Dan had a run out of
Chicago of about 200 miles. His train
picked up sleeping cars at some cross
line in Wisetm>in when he was coming
I into Chicago. It was Dan's place to
take up tickets in the sleeper, but there
his duty Stopped. It was the business
of the sleeping car conductor and his
partner to see that their passengers
were put off at the stations for which
they were ticketed.
One day Dan found a doctor in the
sleeper who had a ticket for the third
station ahead. Dan told the porter and
had no occasion to return to the sleep
er until the station was sighted. To
make sure that the doctor would not
miss his place, for the doctor's mission
was one of life or death, Dan went hack
to tte coach. His passeoger was not
there. He made signs to the porter, who
explained that he had put the man off
it the last station. The porter had so
underi-tood the conductor.
''Ban sat down and filled both sides of
the Mare with everything lie could thiLk
of that was mean. But when he handed
the slate to the porter the latter said he
couldn't read slate writing. That made
Dan madder, and he broke the slate over
ths dotkey's head.
"The doctor sued the company, of
course, for §5,000; they never sue for
less. The company, after looking into
the case laid Dan off for sixty days. He
didn't know what the time was. He just
knew he had a lay-off. He called on the
Superintendent, to explain more fully,
but he was too slow iiige; ting his mouth
off, and that gave the Superintendent a
chance to cuss Dan blue and black.
Dan never got in a word, and when the
Superintendent got done, it was time to
close the shop, and Dan had to make a
train which carried him home.
"Dan was about forty days getting
his mouth iv condition so as to tel the
j Superintendent what he thouj<hr. of him,
I when he got a note one day to take his
! old run, and inclosed in the notification
was a voucher for forty days' pay. So
you see it isn't always the fellow who
can say a thing quick that gets there."'

Young—Walker.
Miss Lulie Walker, of Richmond, was
married to E. Aubrey Young, brother
of Mrs. J. Mason Miller of this city, at
Jacksonville, Fla., on Wednesday even
ing, where Mr. Young _ quite ill.
Miss Walker, accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. D. N. Walker, and Mr.
Young's brother, W. 0. Youne, left
Richmond Tuesday evening for Jack
sonville, and the c retuoay was per
formed soon after their arrival. Mr.
Ybuug's sickness has developed into
typhoid fever.
The marriage was to have taken place
at the church of the Holy Trinity in
Richmond, on November 2d, but owing
to Mr. Young's illness the invitations
were recalled.
Mr. Young is a popular young business
man. He was for a long time with
Davenport & Co. but a year or two ago
accepted the position of manager for
the Southeastern Tariff Association at
Richmond. The passage of the Whar
ton insurance law caused the associa
tiou to go out of business in July, and
Mr. Y'oune was transferred to Jackson
ville. His bride, a daughter cf Major
and Mrs. D. N. Walker, is a pretty and
accomplished young lady, and is a fav
orite in Richmond society.

Wheat Crop in Page.
It is estimated that the "farmers of
Page county bought this year about
3,000 tons of fertilizer. At the average
price of $16 per ton this would amount
to $48,000. Three thousand tons would
cover 24,000 acres at 250 pounds to the
acre, and 24,000 acres would make 340,
--000 bushels of wheat at 15 bushels to
the a:re, and 340,000 bushels of wheat
will bring $204,000 at 60 cents per bush
el, lhe seed wheat, li bushels to the
acre, would be 36,000 bushels, which, at
60 cents per bushel, would amount to
$18,000. This, added to the cost of the
fertilizer, would make the cash cost of
our wheat crop, according to these fig
ures, $66,000, leaving $138,000 for labor
and use of land. These figures are
given as an approximation only, though
we believe they are sufficiently correct
to indicate the cash balance that our
wheat crop places on our general ledger.
