Th~ Astonishing Readiness With which
They Adopted Captain BoGgs' Trick.
Captain Boggs, a Virginian who
held a captains license on the Mississ-
i?pi river before he was OF age, and
wao for fourteen years had the con-
tract to supply the military posts in
Utah. Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
zOna with fuel, tells the following story:
Il was down in the Ute reservation
IN Colorado. and had strolled down to
the shores of a small lake, while my
mules and teamsters were eating din
ner, when / came across a party of
about dozen Indians They were
armed with rifles, and were shooting
at snag which stuck out of the water
about two hundred yards distant. The
stakes for which they were shooting
were composed of a quarter of dollar
from each man. | stood watching
them for some time, and then decided
TO enter the competition. Each man
had three shots. and the man who hit
the snag the most times won the pot.
The misses were told by the splash in
the water; the hits by the absence of
the splash.
After some parley with the redskins
L got them to allow me to enter the
match. though they compelled me to
deposit half dollar, while they put in
but a quarter. | had Henry repeater
with ME that, fortunately for my pur-
pose, was then unloaded. l was ac-
counted one of the best shots in that
country, but knew that the Indians
were not by any means slow. | slipped
three cartridges into my rifle, and as
did SO l broke the ball off, thus leaving
n blank cartridge. OF course no splash
followed any of my shots, and the
Indians thought | had hit the snag
every time. | won that pot, but the
next time l Intentionally lost by not
breaking the balls off and by taking
indifferent aim.
Il then broke all the balls off until
had won eighteen dollars. Then the
Indians, who began to look at me with
suspicion or awe. refused to shoot any
more. | invited them up to the store
and spent the money on knick- knacks,
which / divided among them. then
took them back to the lake and showed
them the trick. They were very much
surprised. but took it in good part.
ION returning that way few days
after found the same Indians on the
lake shore shooting a big match with
Il ncighboring tribe, whom they were
rapidly cleaning out OF every thing. |
learned that they had skinned every
Indian in the country that they could
get too shoot against them. | said
nothing, but unused on the readiness of

JAPANESE FOLKLORE.
A Fable with a Moral for Greedy or Un
grateful Children.

a Fable with a Moral for Greedy or Tn
grateful Children.
Once there was a crab who found a
crumb of rice cake. Just then a
mankey met him, and offered to ex-
change persimmOn seed for the cake,
60 which the good-natured crab agreed.
The monkey ate up his portion, while
the crab went to his hole in the hill
and planted his persimmon seed in the
garden, Soon fine tree appeared,
and the crab was happy enough over
his bargain. He used to sit on the
balcony of his house. and watch the
fruit grow and ripen with great de-
light. But one unlucky day the
monkey came to see him, and begged
for some fruit, offering to climb the
tree to get it. The crab, being Il very
polite fellow, quietly consented. but
requested his visitor to throw down
some persimmons to him also.
But the deceitful scamp filled his
pocket and ate the best fruit,
stoning the crab meanwhile with
the seeds. The crab. inwardly raging,
determined to teach that monkey; but,
shrewdly pretending to regard this
treatment as a joke, challenged the
monkey to descend headforemost.
Vain of his abilities, he accepted the
challenge, and began his descent. The
fruit, of course, rolled out of his
pockets. and the crab was ready to
seize it, and then ran to his hole
BY and by when the crab came out,
the monkey gave him thrashing.
Sore and smarting with his injuries.
the crab called in the aid of his friend,
a rice mortar, who was passing by,
with his apprentices, a sea-weed, an
egg and a wasp. After listening to his
pitiful tale, they agreed to punish the
impertinent monkey. Proceeding to
the house and finding him ont, the sea-
weed hid behind the door. the egg in
the ashes and the wasp in the closet,
while the mortar stat Oned himself over
the door. When the monkey returned
and lighted his fire for tea. the egg
burst and spa=ered his face, binding
and burning him. Starting for the well
o cool his pain. he Slipped on the sea
weed, the wasp flew out and stung
aim, and the rice mortar tumbled down
and crushed him. "Wasn' that splen-
iid9' is the usual finale: while the
moral to greedy or ungratelul children
is pointed out in most approved fash
ion.-He'ep " S. Thompson, ia Orcr

couraged Amateur VioIinists.
When Ole Bull. the renowned violin
list, was staring in Paris in 1910 he re-
turned home late one evening from q
concert. and as the night was cold he
ordered his man to make fire in his
room. The latter dragged towards the
fireplace a huge box, on which the
word 4" Fire wood was painted in
large letters. In answer to Ole Bulls
astonished inquiry the servant told him
that the box had been delivered that
day at noon by his masters orders. as
he thought. On being broken open the
box was found to contain TWENTY-FIVE
violins and the following letter: Great
Master: The undersigned. being men,
oerS OF various amateur philharmonic
societies, hereby declare that they will

'companying instruments. The same

curious epistle bore the signatures of
twenty-five young men. Three days
afterwards Ole Bull gave a dinner to
which he invited all the senders cf tha
valuable ''fire-wood." Each guest had
lying before him on the table one of the
'violins referred to, and by its side
