'Mr. Warner. of Tombstone. I be
lever
Right you are, " said a man with a
big mustache and a broad brimmed
hat in the Office Of the Brunswick.
''Yes, I'll tell you how Tombstone got
its name. In the early days. when the
Apaches were pretty bad around our
part of the country, a prospector came
alone by the name of Ed Schifin. He
had been prospecting for a good while
without finding much of anything. and
when he announced his intention OF
trying his luck around our camp (which
was then totally without white popula-
toni he was warned that he would not
get back, and his friends would have
to go mp and build a tombstone on his
grave.
HE went, though, and the first day
he found a rich piece of float which
assayed q, $50. The man is now worth
e, 900, 600, and the place has had tlls
name of Tombstone ever since. In ap-
pearance he is a common miner yet,
wears a red flannel shirt, top boots
and a broad hat, and doesn't care n fig
for his personal appearances. Roxy

For the sportsmen IN search Of new

from a country hitherto little visited,

Bosnia The name of this provincs
has long been associated with the ma.e

eastern question. but from official re-
ports published by the local author

gather that these territories have soma
special claims to the attention, not
only of statesmen, but of those Who'll love
the pursuit of big game.
It appears that the abundance OF
bears in the highlands and of wolves IN
the lowlands of Bosnia Is such that the
government offers capitation grants for
their destruction, and it is reportsd
that in consequence of these offzs
during the ten years ending in 1850
SS4 bears and S,490 wolves were d.
stroyed- In the one year-1SS5-as
many as 129 bears and /, ,057 wolvea

Bosnia are said to be the principal
haunt of the bears, especially to the
south and west of Travnik and Sc

The Restful Barber Chair.

There is only one time during busy
day. said the philosopher, when
man really enjoys complete rest. The
busy merchant. lawyer or editor wastes
no time over his lunch, and is thinking
all the time he eats of what work he
has to attend to when he returns to his
Office. But let that same man get into
the BARRIERS chair, and the turmoil in
his brain ceases instantly. 1t is as If the
passing of the brush over his face drew
a curtain between him and his toll. His
eyelids close slowly, and n delicious
feeling of complete Indifference to care
REPLACES his former anxious thoughts.
Every succeeding moment increases his
feeling of ease and rest, and when the
bay rum sets the nerves. in the SKIN
tinpling he feels like a new man. His
work during the next hour seems
lighter than at any other time, and the
refreshing effect passes off slowly. !
would rather go without lunch than
miss my half hour in the BARRIERS chair.

versation.
One of the common vices In ordinary
conversation, as well as in writter
speech, is the habit of making recl.
lessly exaggerated statement Of facts OF
circumstances. Its long afiiliation with
coarse and cheap humor has given it q
currency among us beyond its deserts
II any merit it really has. There is 90
znuch to be said against it-as q stale
device OF provincial bufoonery OF
coarse waggery-while there is 50
little to recommend it, except perhaps
In the hand of genius like Rabelais-
one is inclined to wonder that it has moi
long vanished utterly, at the least from
all we1l-bred intercourse.
Firstly, to practice it, without specific
design or as vehicle for humor, usu.
ally betrays frivolous disposition, an
irregular lima ginstion or slovenly IN
attention to important details. Next,
it indicates an almost reckless disre-
gard of moral accuracy and careless
ness of the effect of language upon an
other; which, to say the least, are by
NO means respectful to ones auditor.
Again, although it may not even sug-
gest the notion of wilIfuI perversion
of actual fact or any intent harm
fully to deceive another, yet it insen-
sibly begets, when accustomed to
hear this sort of talk, habit in
hearers of paying but little attention to
such a speakers statements. 1t disso-
ciates all seriousness from what he may
say, and finally they regard him as
common laugher, whose speech does
not deserve ordinary notice. Moreover
it produces bewildering effect upon
the general listener, which is quite in
compatible either with a serious inter-
est in, or a care to remember, what is
is thus said; and in the end is likely to
cheat the speaker. of more than half his
due, because of his common discredit as
a narrator or reporter.
Perhaps it is sometimes not inexcus-
able in an earnest advocate or, a real
humorist, whose reputation for good
sense is unclouded, who seeks to pro-
duce an immediate effect and is not
supposed to be limited by an obligation
to speak with impartial accuracy. New
erthcless its habitual use tends, in most
cases, to destroy the capability for
judicial impartiality, where such fac
ulty exists-precisely as contrary
habit of conscientious accuracy of state
rnent usually runs with fairness of
judgment. When Rufus Choate, who
habitually reveled in hyperbole, was
asked to accept a judicial Office, he de-
clined emphatically, saying truthfully:
st would destroy my powers Of exag-

a Merry Monarch.

1t was in the reign ST Charles vi. OF
France that the fine qualities of cham
pagnc first approved themselves to the
palates of men of taste. among whom
we must reckon Wenceslas, King OF
Bohemia, who, visiting France for
diplomatic purposes, took up his resi-
dence at Rheims in May, 1897. There
he was induced to try the local vintage.
and he found it so good that he devoted
three hours daily-from to 6-to get
ting drunk upon it. At length he was
reluctantly compelled to turn his at
tention to business; but as soon as the
treaty was signed which he had come to
France to negotiate he expressed
strong desire to remain some short time
longer in the city which had revealed to
him new pleasure in life. The short
time extended to twelve months, SO
that he spent year in waiting for the
treaty, a year in discussing it and a
wear in resting from his labors, and all
three years refreshed himself with the
glorious vintage of Champagne. Chi
