paInte6 on my boardst No one but myself
has the smallest right to it,
am summon you before the magis-
trate. - cried he who had not painted the
sign.
erIl prosecute you for breach OF cove
nant.n retorted the innkeeper, who had
half paid for it.
Zone moment" interposed another en-
ergetic voice, that of the interloper. ut
seems to me that ought to have some lit
tie voice in this business"
''Quite right, brother" answered the
painter. 'sInstead of disputing on the pub
lie road, let us go into Master Martzen s
house and arrange the matter amicably
over bottle of wine"
TO this all parties agreed, but am sor-
~ to say they agreed in nothing else, for
within doors the dispute was carried on
with deafening confusion and energy.
The Fleming commended for the possession
of the painting, and the Englishman re-
heated his offer to cover it with gold.
"But suppose that | don't choose to
have it sold?" said it's real author.
ooh, my dear monsieurr said the inn
keeper, 'sI am certain you would not wish
to deprive an honest, poor man, who can
scarcely make both ends meet. OF this
windfau. Why, it would just enable me
to Law in q good stock of wine and beer. :"
ssDon't believe him, brother" cried the
painter. ssHe is an old miser am the
father of a family, and being painter
YOU ought to help a brother artist and
give me the preference. Besides, am
ready to share the money with you"
ssHep' said Master Martzen, swhy, he's
an old spendthrift, who has no money left
to give his daughter as a marriage portion,
because he spends all he gets on himself. :"
ssNo such thing. My Susette is betroth-
ed to an honest young French cabinet
maker, who, poor as she is, will marry her
next September"
GA daughter to portionl' exclaimed the
stranger artist. tsThat quite alters the
case. I am content that the picture should
be sold for marriage portion. l leave
it to our English friends generosity to fix
the sum-"
'sI have already offered" replied the
best bidder, 400 guineas for the sketch
Just as it is. 1 will gladly give 200 for 1t
if the painter will consent to sign it in the
corner with one word"
tWhat word?" exclaimed all the dis
putants at once.
The Englishman replied:
'tMeissonier."
The whole party were quiet enough
now, for they were struck dumb with as
tonishment. The sign painter held his
breath, glared with his eyes, frantically
clasped his hands together and fell down on
his knees before the great French painter.
'sForgive mel" he exclaimed. "Forglve
me for my audacious ignorance"
Meissonier laughed heartily, and TAX
ing his hand shook it with fraternal cor
diality.
At that moment the friends whom he
was expecting arrived. They were M.
Lessee, a theatrical manager, and the great

The Cowboy and His Mount.

Before went west lad an idea that the
chief pleasure and delight of the average
cowboy Law in the amusement derived from
riding a bucking pony, yet this is very far
from being the actual state of the case. l
never saw but one cowboy who expressed
anything but repugnance to riding buck
ing horse. No matter how we'll man
may ride, q good crow hopping pony will
make it most Uncomfortable for him, even
though the brute may not be able to dis
mount him.
There is or used to be, up at Meeker, in
the White river country, man named
Ed Smizer, who could ride, as he expressed
it, ssanything that had hair on it," l
have seen him sit pony that bucked SO
hard that it not only gave him the nose
bleed, but brought blood from his ears as
well. Smizer rode the horse until it was
SO weak that it could not stand up and
then sold it for IS. The man who bought
it tried to ride it once, and it broke his
arm. The horse, which was valuable
one, was then turned out on the range. 1t
led herd from up in Yellow Jacket pass
down the White river, and out by Grand
Junction, some 800 miles, and it took three
cowboys two weeks to round them back
again. This is the only instance that l
know of where herd deliberately left their
grazing ground, though. I have known
cattle to drift so miles across the plains
before hard storm. New York Mail and

It is expected that the Cape Cod cram

of the red berries this season.
Governor Flower of New York sug-
gests a new legal holiday, to be known
as Harvest day, for stimulating inter-
est in agricultural matters and enjoy
ing the season of harvest. He would
like to have it in some way connect with
the state fair at Syracuse.
The farm of the future will be the
little farm we'll titled, - not the immense
field of the west, with half its capac-
itv not used. 1t would not be hard for
a lover of statistics to prove, from the
profit made on small farms, that there is
more money in them than in the larger
ones.
Foxes are becoming too numerous in
Vermont The state pays bounty of

the value of the skin, makes them fairly
profitable game. A good many have
been killed this winter.

A L.lFE's SECRET.

And she is dead. 1t was but yesterday
That she complained how slow her life drag
ged on.
The silent earth has claimed its kindred clay,
And she is gone.
This DID, old story, love that lived unknown,
The faithful heart that only beat to break,
The greatest knowledge held by her alone,
For loves sweet sake.
The rivulet flows onward to the stream;
The stream rejoicing leaps unto the sea,
But that great hope, her life's one fitful CLEAN.
Was not to be.
The greatest songs are still the songs unsung.
The greatest secret but one heart can hold.
The greatest love that in life's balance hung
Was love untold.

Coal Mining In New Mexico.

Few people realize the Importance of
the coal mining industry Of New Mexico.
With only. small portion of the coal
measures developed, the coal mines Of
New Mexico are prominent factor in
the prosperity of the territory and are
the sole reliance and means of support of
several considerable communities in the
northern and middle parts of the terri
tory. From Hon. j. W. Fleming, mine
inspector for the territory, we get the
following figures as to product and num-
Der of persons actually engaged in min
ing coal in the territory. There were l.
1853 persons employed in the mines, and
615, 439 tons of coal produced during the
year ending August 81, 1894. Taking
into consideration the fact that the coal
miners strike extended over period of
FIVE months, and it may be safely esti-
mated that the product of the present
year will reach 100000 tons which it
would have undoubtedly done last year
were it not for the effects of the strike.
There are hundreds of miles of coal areas
yet untouched in the territory, and when
competition in transportation renders it
possible to carry coal to the iron de-
posts OF Hanover gulch, IN Grant county,
instead of shipping our iron ore to a
foreign state for reduction, We may look
forward toward taking prominent place
among the iron producing and iron manu-
featuring communities of the world
