**OLD JIM BRIDGER.
A Rocky Mountain Guide Who TSoug'.r I
Munchausen Was a Liar.
Sir George Gore, a wealthy Irish :
sportsman, began in 1S55 a hunt;:),
expedition among the Kooky mo.:::- j
tains which occupied two years and
? exceeded anything of the kind ever
< Been on this continent. ThAutfit
eons-isted of fifty persons, incwding
secretaries, a steward, cooks, fly makers.
dog tenders, servants, a train
of thirtv watrons and numerous sad- I
die horses and dogs.
Old Jim Bridger was Sir George's
**guide and interpreter, and no man
' on the frontier knew the glens and
"T" passes of the mountains so accurate*
ly a^he did. Though illiterate and
J as unconventional as an Indian.
" Bridger was honest, kind, generous
and shrewd?just the man to attract
the Irish sportsman.
In his "Old Santa Fe Trail" Colonel
Inman describes the companionship
of the two men?one a rich,
?ducated, whole souled Irish nobleman,
the other a man who from
boyhood had lived on the plains,
depending on his tact and rifle for
food and life.
Sir George would lie in bed until
10 o'clock in the morning. Then he
\ took a bath, ate his breakfast and
i'set out generally alone for the day's
dhunt. It was not unusual for him
pto remain out until 10 at night, and
che seldom returned without''meat."
. His dinner was then served, to
"which he extended an invitation to
Bridger. _
After the meal was over Sir
CGeor~e was in the habit of reading
afrom some book and drawing out
ilfrom Bridger his ideas about the
pauthor.
^ The Irishman usually read from
.Shakespeare, which Bridger reckaoned
was too highfalutin for him.
"Thet thar big Dutchman, Mr.
ifFullstuff," he commented, "was a
fcleetle too fond of lager beer."
? Sir George read the "Adventures
of Baron Munchausen" to Bridger,
awho remarked that he'd be' doggoned
ef he swallowed everything
that thar baron said. Pie thought
he was a "liar/' yet acknowledged
that some of his own adventures
? il. ? -A*1 tPAllU !
ainuug me uiocivicti ?uuiu w
equally wonderful "if writ down in j
a book."
Bridger thought Sir George a successful
hunter, an opinion justified
by the records of the two years'
hunt?forty grizzly bears, 2,500 bufiirdoes,
numerous antelopes and othj^ma11

Crushing a Clark.
He was rather carelessly dressed,
yet any one who is at all an observer
could have seen at a glance that
his clothes were of excellent material
and had evidently been made by
a good tailor. But the clerk in the
hat shop was young, and he stood by
watching the customer pull over an
^ assortment of colored hatbands until
he struck one that caught his
fancy. "I'll take this one," he said,
handing it to the clerk.
"That's the New York Yacht
club's colors," remarked the clerk,
as if that settled the question. The
customer looked at him sharply and
repeated his statement that he
^ -a-nnlil take the blue and red and
iwhite band he held in his hand.
l "But you don't want that," pro jsted
the clerk. "That's only worn
Ry members of the New York Yacht
club."
"I'm one. Just put it on my hat,
6onny," said the man dryly. The
clerk wilted.?Yachtsman.
Marrying a Stick.
^PThat is a curious custom they
Rve in some of the south sea islands,"
said Mr. Wallace, "of marryLg
a girl to a tree or some inanimate
object which is supposed to
let as a sort of scapegoat for the
Ihortcomings of the real live husland."
I "It is not unusual," said Mrs.
Wallace, "for a woman in this country
to be married to a stick."
.But Mr. Wallace, with the calm
?tperiority of the masculine mind,
fused to deem it a personal mat .?London
