A Colorado Wonder.

s. M. Hardy. of Hardy's Ranch, Wal
lace county, Kan, while on recent
hurting trip in Kansas and Colorado
with friend, went to the ranch of
Charles KRIS, about five miles south
west OF Grenada, Colo, besides a deep
gulch, where away down flows tribu-
tary to the Arkansas river. KRIS read
lily gave them shelter for the night,
remarking that it was seldom that
guests ever called in that lonely place.
He told them also that seven years be-
fore this he had lived on the Pecos river,
at the foot Of mountain spur. herding
cattle, and one day large bear entered
the chicken coop and his wife ran to
the rescue. She got such a fright that
she was sick for several months, and
they then moved on their present home.
Mrs. KRIS gave birth to child shortly
after, which was never known to have
been seen by any one.
The visitors heard strange noises
which seemed to emanate from a closed
closet. They also heard Mrs. KRIS
singing and ask KRIS if he had any
children. He then said: "I will show
you curiosity, but you must never
breathe it," He then showed them
"a child three feet high, weighing forty
pounds and compound of human be-
ing, bear and chicken. Its head was
like that of bear, but its eyes were
those of human and its ears were a
combination of human and bear, as
were its mouth and chin. There was
full growth of soft hair over the face,
head and neck. In place of arms it had
feathered wings. The mother loves it
dearly, and will not permit it to be en-
.hibited.-Kansas City Times.

Stanley in one of his recent letters,
tells about the vengeful tribe of dwarfs
he encountered In his march to Albert
Nyanza. They hid behind trees, logs,
rocks, ETC., American-Indian fashion,
and fired poisoned arrows at his COM
pany. Lieut.. Stairs and five more men
were wounded by them, and all died OF
lockjaw except the lieutenant.
Later Stanley found out what the
poison is. 1t is made of red ants, dried,
ground into powder, cooked in palm
oil and then smeared on the arrow
point.

A WearisOme Subject.

People who are completely absorbed
In their own own personality make the
grave error of suppOsing that the
subject of which they never tire is
equally interesting to others; hence, if
they "enjoy poor health, 1t IS their
habit to give ELUSIVE descriptions of
numerous aches and pains to whom
soever they meet. Now, illness, of all
things In the world, is the least inter
esting, and even in ones own family
soon becomes tiresOme. Sympathy
called upon too often becomes to a Ger
tain degree 1essened. We can each re
call too many people who make bodily
Ills the stock subject for conversation
In and ont of season, and a feeling of
depression inevitably follows their
minute recital. We ought not to ig-
more real illness and expect 1t to leave
or pass by us because of our non
recognition, but we need not draw the
shadow of disease about our family
gatherings and gala days by describ-
ing every little pain that has
WeaEied US.

And lazy BUTTERFLIES rechned
on luxuriant beds of white clOver-fast asleep.
The uocking birds from leafy realms,
Trfled sweetest melodies from their slIVer-Lia ca

While we sat on the messy bank,
Sending across the crytal stream gay little DoeJs'
Under the pale green willow trees,
Where we We're free as the birds, and pleasures
were rife.
You gave to me the promise true

When we played together by the ripping stream
Dreaming the happy hours away,
Listening to the soft quivering notes Of loves

MIR. Edwin Booths First Experience as
a Manager

Mr.. Edwin Booth, the eminent ira
gedian, is credited with the follow
ing experience about my first
experience as a manager" said Mr..
Booth, was in the year 1854. 1
and four others were on our way to
Australia to fill professional engage
ment. Two of the party We're ID. Q.
Anderson and his wife. We were in a
slow old sailing ship, and ewere COM
PEELED to stop at the Sandwich Islands
for supplies and to make some repairs
to the ship. We found, to our sur
prise, that Honolulu had a rude sort of
theater, and as we were to be detained
there for several days we thought we
might earn a few dollars by giving
performances.
eve determined to give Richard
III, and I was elected manager. Now,
the full strength of the company was
exactly five, and there are about
twenty-five parts in the tragedy, as
you know, to say nothing of the lords
and ladies Of the court, citizens, muir
derers, messengers, and the two armies
of Gloster and Richmond. So you
can understand that the manager had
no easy task Of it. I was to play Rich
ard, and by an ingenious scheme OF
doubling up, by which each Of the 9th
! ers were to play at least two parts, we
| managed to arrange for some sort OF q
| performance until I suddenly discov-
cred that I had no Lady Anne. Mrs.
| Anderson was the only lady in our
| company, and she had to do two parts
! the Duchess of York and Elizabeth.
81 was almost in despair until I
| learned that there was a white man in
"a VIII 4 4nf no 4
! been an actor in a humble way and
would be glad to help us out, and that
! as he was an understood man he might
! do to dress up as a woman. So I sent
! for him.
"He was about four feet high, a
! stumpy fellow with handy legs, cross
/ eyed, and with all his front teeth gone.
! He chewed tobacco furiOusly, and he
! spoke with a strong German accent.
! His only knowledge of the stage
! proved to have come from once working
/ as a grip behind the scenes Of some
! theater in the States.
/ 81 shall never forget that perform
ance of Richard III It's like was
! never seen before nor since. The two
/ English armies were of course made
/ up Of native Sandwich Islanders, and
| to see the followers of Richard and OF
Richmond fighting the battle Of Bos-
worth field in burnt cork was some
thing never before attempted on any
! stage
"But the Lady Anne! I regret to
say that her appearance when made up
was something worse than grotesque.
If she had been homeIy in mans at
tire she was hideOus in skirts, and when
/ I had to make ardent love to her as
Sweet saint p divine perfection
of a woman fairer than tongue can
name thee, and tell her of her beauty
which did haunt me in my sleep
thought I should burst with mortifca-
ton, for her bandy-Iegged waddle, heI
cross-eyed leer, her toOthless mouth
! and her German accent was something
indescribable And, horror of horrors
while she stood moaning at her dead
husbands bier, her ladyship had
! broken her solemn pledge and was
actually chewing tobacco! !"
