Tricking a -Game Warden.
When a game warden bought seven
pounds of meat and paid a dollar a
pound for it he thought lie was get
ting some pretty convincing evidence
against a man in Herkimer county
whom he supposed to be a chronic
violator of the game law. The pro
tector found this particular piece of
meat In an icehouse one hot August
day, and he spotted it for venison.
?What will you rake foo that chunk
of meat?" he asked the owner.
"That's a tender piece of meat," re
plied the woodsman, with a wink at
the stranger, "and meat is dear way
hack up here. I wouldn't part with it
for less 'n a dollar a pound."
"Well, give me a pound"
"Nope; couldn't do that, it would
spile the piece for cookin' to do that"
The game warden had to take the
whole thing, and he paid $7 for it, sat
isfied that he had caught one of the
^worst game law violators in the Adi
rondacks. Down to Albany he sent
the meat for the forest, fish and game
commission to analyze, to prove it ven
ison. "But it wasn't It was veal.
The backwoodsmen tell the story as
one of the best jokes ever played on a
game protector.-New York Tribune.
Columns of St. Mark.
Two memorable granite columns,
known as the columns of St Mark,
brought from the Holy Land ta 1120
and standing In front of the quay and
landing steps of the Piazzeta, have
been associated with the fortunes of
Venice for many years. At first they
lay prostrate for a long time, while
no one would undertake to raise them.
But a reward offered by the doge at
length induced one Nicolo Barratiero
(Nick-the Blackleg) to offer his serv
ices. He succeeded and claimed as
his reward the privilege of carrying
on between the columns games of
chance, elsewhere prohibited by law.
To neutralizes this as much as possible
lt was enacted that all public execu
tions should take place on the same
spot ^One column is surmounted by
. the Lion of St Mark. The other car
ries a fine figure of St Theodore, the
J p?tron saint of the city, who stands
upon a crocodile and with sword and
- buckler gives token that the motto of
?Venice is "Defense, Not Defiance."

A letter from a concern in Monte
video, South America, to a Chicago
firm: /r
"My dear sir: We know; you ask for
agents. We can offer you this. Our
office Ms the representation many ar
tides ^5? can offer the representation
your's. We ought tb know you; we
have placemen and gadders whose
business is only to sell our articles.
Our business is diffused, till some bra
??lan villages; where the american ar
ticles are worth of the hinghest atten
tion. Our mind is that, the diffuse of
the news is the best middle for the
know; .all things; and we don't stop in
middles for its circulation; we have
decided the appear of The Commercial
Review next issue where you can be
felow labourers; and we with no one

He Found His Man.
Englishmen are rather fond of pok
ing fun at those parts of Great Britain
iwhere other than the Anglo-Saxon ele
ment ls dominant and a favorite sub
Jet for jest is the prevalence of the
Jones family in Wales.
One of the colleges of Oxford univer
sity was much resorted to by Welsh
men. A man from another college
looking for a friend went into its quad
rangle and shouted, "Jones!" '
All the windows looking on the quad
rangle flew open
*T mean John Jones," said the
searcher.
Half the windows closed.
T mean the John Jones who has a
toothbrush," he explained
All the windows closed but one.

A Stitch of Pain.
A stitch ls a sfiarp, spasmodic pain
In the muscles of the side like the
piercing of a needle and is very apt to
be produced if exercise is taken Im
mediately after a hearty meal. This
arises because the nervous energy nec
essary for the proper working of the
muscles ta exercise ls engaged in an
other direction-namely, ta assisting
the digestion of the food. Anything
that interferes with the proper supply
of nervous energy required for exer
cise, whether it be debility or the proc
ess of digestion or exhaustion arising
from overexertion, ls apt to cause this
spasmodic pata.
