Thr Gamf. Warden and the Liar.
?A Colorado man who is visiting in
Wellington, told H. L Woods this *
story: The game warden of Colorado
was walking out In the mountains the
other day when he met a hunter with
his gun. The officer suggested that, *
that ought to be a good country for t<
hunting. n
"It certainly Is," said the hunter d
proudly, "I killed one of the finest *
bucks yesterday I ever saw, and he s
weighed 200. It was the season when d
deer may not be shot without subject- ^
insr the hunter to a heavy fine. b
"Well, that Is a fine one," said the t
warden, "and do you kno-.y who you a
are talking: to?" v
Being assured that he did not the P
officer said: c
"Why, I am the chief game warden d
of Colorado." f
The hunter was only taken back a *
moment, when he said: C
"And do you know who you are talk- a
ing to?" The warden did not know. e
"Well, sir," said the hunter, appar- v
ently much relieved, "you are talking P
to the biggest liar in the whole state o
of Colorado."?Kansas City Star.

Ooitld Not Br Fooljcd.?The young- f
er son of a well known politician of t
Chicago has spent pretty much all of *
his life In the big city by the lake, f
and consequently, knows little of t
country ways and things, says Har- y
tier's Weekly. c
Not long ago he \1sited a man he 0
had met in Chicago and who maintains >
a big farm near Cairo, whither he had I
insisted the youngster come for a I
lengthy stay. r
One day the Chicago youth was e
wandering about the farm closely examining
the top, end and sides of a
certain trim, well made object fenced *
round In the paddock. v
"What are you searching for, Jim- n
my?" asked the owner of the place, a a
smile on his face. J
"Where are the doors and windows, a
sir?" asked Jimmy. ^
"Doors and windows! Why Jimmy, >
that is a haystack." N
"Look here, old man." exclaimed 1
Jimmy: "I may be a green person from e
the city, but you can't bluff me that B
way. Hay doesn't grow in lumps like *
that." r

night at a Florida hotel and could get r
nothing to eat. The hotel was magnlf- v
icent and expensive, but Its rule was 1
to serve no food after a certain hour, r
and In consequence Mr. James went *
hungry to bed. b
Discussing the hardship afterward, r
he said: # 0
"I felt, indeed, like the tenderfoot v
who visited an Arkansas hotel back in 1
the '70s. J
"It was a primitive hotel, and the ^
guest, on his arrival, said to the a
landlord tentatively: v
" 'Landlord, I'd like a bath.'
" 'All right,' was the reply.
"And the.landlord went out, return- 1
Ing In ten minutes with a tin can of b
soft soap, a towel, a pick and a shovel. *
"The eastern guest took up the can d
of soft soap and the towel, but at the J
pick and shovel he looked askance. n
"'What are these for?' he said. ^
" 'Wall, stranger,' said the landlord. a

Haw Hb Broke Siukncb.?It was a *
real hardship for Judge Brown to have *
to keep silent for any length of time. 0
Even when traveling he usually found n
some one who would at least listen h
while he talked. But on one occasion 8
he found himself in a railway coach >'
with only one other occupant?a stiff, d
dignified old lady, who did not deign b
even to look at him when he raised his 1'
hat upon entering the coach. b
The Judge grew restless after they d
had traveled several miles. He drum- 0
med on the window, coughed several 1
times, then finally, in desperation,
cleared his throat and asked in sten- e
iui mil iuiic.
"Madam, did it ever occur to you to r
wonder whether it had ever rained
any before the time of the flood?"
The unusual question startled the old *
lady out of her dignified silence and "
the two old people were soon engaged c
in animated conversation. ? Youth's n

trict attorney," said Judge Sweeney of t
Shasta county. Cal., according to the s
Woman's Home Companion. "I se- c
cured the conviction of Montana Jack, a
a highwayman, who was something of f
a humorist. When asked by the judge ii
whether he had anything to say h
against sentence being passed upon t
him. Jack admitted that he had no r
protest to make, but that he would r
like to give a few words of advice to a
the young men in the room. Permis- a

" 'Boys, my advice to you is to stick r

I was a successful burglar for years. \

exquisite, and a heavy wreath of large, t
many hued globular objects encircled t
the picturesque crown. ^
The feminine member of the house- c
hold eyed It approvingly, but could s
give no name to the botanical portion j.
of the decorations. Mr. Eldridge, how- ^
ever, regarded the creation with mild (
disfavor. s
"I can see, John," said the owner of ^
the hat. pinning it into place and snillIng
at her husband, "that you don't j,

"It's becoming enough." returned Mr. \

it seems to be a nice hat. in spite of ^

MARK TWAIN ESCAPED JAIL.
Twice Arrested and Freed as Being
"the Greatest Man in the Country."
"Yes," said Mark Twain, with an
air of conscious importance. "I have
been arrested. I was arrested twice,
so that there could be no doubt about
It. I have lived many years in the
sight of my country an apparently
uncaught and blameless life, a model
for the young, an Inspiring example
for the hoary-headed. But at last the
law has laid its hand upon me." says
Ian Annapolis dispatch to Philadelphia
Ledger.
"Mine was no ordinary offense.
When I affront the law, I choose to
do so in no obscure, insignificant, trivial
manner. Mine was a crime
against nothing less than the Federal
government. The officers who arrested
me were no common or garden
policemen; they were clothed with
the authority of the Federal constitution.
I was charged with smoking a
cigar within a government reservation.
In fact, I was caught red-handed.
I came near setting a stone pile
on fire.
"It Is true that the arrest was not
made effective. One of the party whispered
to the marines what Governor
Warfield was going to say, and did
say, in introducing me to the audience
at my lecture?that I was one of the
greatest men of the world. I don't
know who proposed to tell that to the
marines, but it worked like a charm.
The minions of the law faltered, hesitated,
quailed, and today I am a free
man. Twice they laid hands upon
me; twice were overcome by my deserved
reputation.
"Perhaps I ought not to say myself
that it is deserved. But who am I
to contradict the governor of Maryland?
Worm that I am by what right
should I traverse the declared opinion
of that man of wisdom and judgment,
whom I have learned to admire and
( trust? I never admired him more
than I did when he told my audience
that thev had with them the greatest
man in the world. I believe that was
, his expression. I don't wish to undertake
his sentiments, but I will go no
further than that?at present. Why,
It fairly warmed my heart. It almost
made me glad to be there myself. I
like good company.
, Why Bishop Potter is Great,
i "Speaking of greatness, it is curious
how many grounds there are
> for great reputations; how many different
phases, that is to say, greatness
may take on. There was Bishop Potter.
He was arrested a few months
ago for a crime similar to mine;
though he lacked the imagination to
select United States government property
as the scene of the guilty deed.
Now Bishop Potter is a great man. I
am aware he is, because a street car
motorman told me so. A motorman
Is not a governor of Maryland, but
then Bishop Potter is not a humorist.
He could hardly expect a certificate
like mine.
"I rode with the motorman one day
on the front seat of his car. There
was a blockade before we got very
far, and the motorman, having nothing
to do, became talkative. 'Oh yes,'
he said, 'I have a good many distinguished
men on this trip. Bishop
Potter often rides with me. He likes
the front seat. Now there's a great
man for you?Bishop Potter.'
" 'It is true,' I responded. 'Doctor
Potter is indeed a mighty man of God,
i an erudite theologian, a vise administrator
of his great diocese, an exei
gete of?'
i " 'Yes,' broke in the motorman, his
face beaming with pleasure as he recognized
the justice of my tribute and
hastened to add one of his own. 'Yes,
and he's the only man who rides with
me who can spit in the slot every
time.'
i "'That's a good story, isn't it? I
like a good story well told. That is
I the reason I am sometimes forced to
tell them myself. Here is one, of
which I was reminded yesterday as
i was investigating tne nuvui m-aue.
my. I was much impressed with the
naval academy. I was all over it. and
now it is all over me. I am full of
the navy. I talk, think, eat, drink
; and dream navy. I wanted to march
with them on parole, but they didn't
i think to ask me; curious inattention
on their part, and I just ashore after
a celebrated cruise.
"While I was observing the navy
' on land." said Mr. Clemens, "I
1 thought of the navy at sea and of this
( story, so pathetic, so sweet, so really
touching. This is one of my pet sto:
rles; something in Its delicacy, reflnei
ment and the eiusiveness of its humor
fits my own quiet tastes.
"The time is 2 a. m., after a lively
night at the club. The scene in front
of his house. The house is swaying
and lurching to and fro. He has suc;
ceeded in navigating from the club,
i but how is he going to get aboard this
i rolling, tossing things.? He watches the
steps go back and forth, up and down,
f Then he makes a desperate resolve,
braces himself, and as the steps come
t round, he jumps, clutches the handi
rail, gets aboard and pulls himself
' safely up on the piazza. With a like
* manoeuvre he gets through the door.
I Watching his chance, he gains the
lowest step of the inside staircase and
i painfully makes his way up the swayl
ing and uncertain structure. He has
i almost reached the top when in a
l sudden lurch he catches his toe and
falls back, rolling to the bottom. At
this moment his wife, rushing out In,
to the upper hall, hears coming up
? from the darkness below, from the
I discomfited figure sprawled on the
[ floor with his arms around the newel
post, the fervent, appropriate and
pious ejaculation, 'God help the poor
sailors out at sea!'
I "I trust this matter of my arrest
I will not cause my friends to turn from
i me. It is true that, no matter what
i may be said of American public mori
als, the private morals of Americans
as a whole are exceptionally goo.l. I
do not mean to say that in their pin
vate lives all Americans are faultless.
I hardly like to go that far. being
a man of carefully weighed words
and under a peculiarly vivid sense of
the necessity of moderation in statement.
I should like to say that we
are a faultless people, but I am rt strained
by recollection. I know sev
eral persons who have erred and
transgressed?to put it plainly, -hey
have done wrong. 1 have heard ?t
still others?of a number of persons,
in fact, who are not perfect. 1 am not
perfect myself. I confess it. I would
have confessed it before the lamentable
event of yesterday. For that was
not the first time I ever did wrong.
Xo; I have done several things which
till my soul with regret and contrition.
Story of a Watermelon.
"I remember. I remember it so well,
I remember it as if it were yesterday,
the first time I ever stole a water
melon. Yes, the first time. At least
I think It was the first time, or along
about there. It was, It was, must have
been, about 1848, when I was 13 or
14 years old. I remember that watermelon
well. I can almost taste It
now.
"Yes, I stole It Yet why use so
harsh a word? It was the biggest of
the load on a farmer's wagon standing
In the gutter In the old town of
Hannibal. Mo. While the farmer was
busy with another?another?customer,
I withdrew this melon. Yes,
'stole* is too strong. I extracted It.
I retired it from circulation. And I
myself retired with It.
"The place to which the watermelon
and I retired was a lumber yard.
I knew a nice quiet alley between the
sweet smelling planks, and to that
sequestered spot I carried me meion.
Indulging a few moments' contemplation
of its freckled rind, I broke
it open with a stone, a rock, a dornick,
in boy's language.
"It was green! Impossibly, hopelessly
green! I do not know why this
circumstance should have affected
me, but it did. It affected me deeply.
It altered for me the moral values of
the universe. It wrought in me a
moral revolution. I began to reflect.
Now, recollection Is the beginning of
reform. There can be no reform
without reflection.
"I asked myself what course of
conduct I should pursue. What would
conscience dictate? What should a
high-minded young man do after retiring
a green watermelon? What
woul^ George Washington do? Now
was the time for all the lessons inculcated
at Sunday school to act.
"And they did act. The word that
came to me was 'restitution.' Obviously
there lay the path of duty. I
reasoned with mlself. I labored. At last
I was fully resolved. 'I'll do it," said I.
'I'll take him back his old melon. Not
many boys would have been so heroic,
would so clearly have seen the
right thing and so sternly have resolved
to do it. The moment I reached
that resolution I felt a strange uplift.
One always feels an uplift when
he turns from the wrong to righteousness.
I arose, spiritually strengthened,
renewed and refreshed, and in the
strength of that refreshment carried
back the watermelon?that is, I carried
back what was left of It?and
made him give me a ripe one.
"But I fiad a duty toward that farmer.
as well as to myself. I was as
severe on him as the circumstance deserved.
I did not spare him. I told
him he ought to be ashamed of himself
giving his?his customers green
melons. And he was ashamed. He
said he was. He said he felt as badly
about It as I did. In this he was mistaken.
He hadn't eaten any of the
melon. I told him that the one instance
was bad enough, but asked
him to consider what would become
of him if this should become a habit
with him. I pictured his future. And
I saved him. He wept and thanked
me and promised to do better.
"We should always labor thus with
those who have taken the wrong road.
Very likely this was the farmer's first
false step. He had not gone far, but
he had put his foot on the downward
Incline. Happily, at this moment, a
friend appeared?a friend who
stretched out a helping hand and held
him back. Others might have hesitated,
have shrunk from speaking to
him of his error. .1 did not hesitate
nor shrink. And It Is one of the gratifications
of my life that I can look
back on what I did for that man In
his hour of need.
"The blessing came. He went home
with a bright face to his rejoicing
wife, and I?I got a ripe melon. I trust
It was with him as it was with me.
Reform with me was no transient
emotion, no passing episode, no Philadelphia
uprising. It wa.4 permanent.
Since that day I have never stolen a
water?never stolen a green watermelon."
Not "Worst Ever" April.?Apropos
J of the wintry April of 1907 and the oft
reiterated "Did you ever see such
weather for this time of year?" that
one hears on all sides, it Is of interest
to know that his sort of April is
not "the worst ever," says a Middleton,
N. J., correspondent of the New York
Tribune, as the following extracts from
diaries kept by my father, the late
Joseph D. Taylor, will bear witness.
On the dates earlier than 1850 my
father lived In New York city, being
in the China trade of the Arm of Talbot.
Olyphant & Co., 66 South street.
I^ater than that date he lived In Middletown,
N. J., which is about twentyfive
miles due south from New York,
and the records were made there.
1841?April 12, extraordinary snowstorm,
12 Inches deep, snow at Middletown,
N. J., 2 feet 6 inches; April 15.
snow nearly disappeared; May 2, cold,
ice at night.
1842?April 27, snow squalls.
1854?April 18, snow in the morning,
riding with Mary and the children to
Shrewsbury: May 7, ice this morning.
1855?May 10, white frost and ice.
1858?April 26, ice and white frost:
April 27, flurries of snow.
1862?April 8, northwest snowstorm;
April 10, 7 inches snow.
1863?April 22, white frost.
American Gambling.
In a letter from "a German in
America," published in a Berlin newspaper,
the writer dwells at length on
the "American's fondness for gambling
and his proficiency in the art." "His
business methods," says the writer,
"are speculative, and not conservative,
like ours, and he takes great risks to
reach the coveted goal of riches. At
school he plays games with the small
copper coin of the country and when
he reaches college he plays poker. He
gambles on the outcome of the athletic
contests in his and rival educational
institutions, and when driven to the
wall in argument, no matter what the
subject may be, the nnaJ, anu usually
effective, weapon is a bet. Prom school
be goes into business. If this happens
to be in the 'financial' line there Is no
interruption of the gambling habits
acquiied at school; if he goes into
'commerce' and can resist the temptations
of the men who dangle before his
eyes visions of fortunes made by speculating
in stocks he may saved. But
usually he succumbs and is worse off
than the financial gambler, because he
becomes a speculator in his own business
and in the stock market also, it
must be a dreadful strain on the men,
but they seem to thrive on It, and to
grow fat and rich as well, and only we
who worry about them remain poor."
T"' Paper bricks are used in Berlin
for paving. Many telegraph poles are
now made of rolled sheets of paper.
Paper coffins are used in some places. I
Some straw hats into which enters not
an atom of straw, consist of narrow
paper strips dyed yellow. Artificial
sponges can be made of paper pulp.
