The Red Faced Man Tells About His Ex-
 nsriars.as
 The rcd faced man ordered some picked up codfish and then began to talk about fish ''It makes me sick, " he said, ito hear men go around blowing about the fish they have caught and the fish their friends have caught. As a matter of fact, suppose l know stream in this vicinity where there are more fish than there are anywhere else in this great and glorious country.
 "I am not going to give away the name of this stream, for l am good deal of fisherman myself, and l know a good thing. l am not avcrse to telling you, however. that summer is the poor season in those waters. It Is good deal better fishing there in the winter. Last winter one day 1 made up my mind would go down and get mess, and l took my aX and started out. Don't have to fish with hooks and bait and all that sort of thing there. The stream is n shal- low one. All you have to do is to build 0 big fire on the bank and then chop out a chunk of ice. The stream is generally frozen to the bottom, and when you haul out your chunk of ice you are sure to find a dozen or so whopping big fish frozen into it. Then you prop up the ice beside the fire and melt it, and there you have the fish with just no exertion at all It's great stream
 "I remember one day last winter, along about New Years it was, when l needed some hsh for brain food. l went down to the stream and chopped out my piece of ice. When had almost got 1t out, I noticed it kihd of bulging up in the center, and the first thing l knew it had broken in two and was thrown out on the ice by the force of upward pres sure. Half wagon load of fish shot up into the air and scattered about on the ice You sec. the water was q little deeper in that particular spot. -n-.' -::e fish were packed III 50 uSht beneath the ice that when the ice was loosencd n bit they just expanded and were thrown out.
 Say" said tho waiter. "whero is that stream?"
 "Oh," replied the red faced man us he picked up his check. "1'd like to tell you, but there ain't no icc down there just now. "-Buffalo Express.

How Not to Talk to Indians.

Thomas H. Davis wanted to hire for the part of the cowboy in the farce con- edy of Rush City," one of the real cowboys now appearing with Buffalo Bill at Ambrose park. His brother, Charles A Davis, volunteered to go over to the Wild West and begin the nego- tiations. Davis took q friend along, and while on the Wild West" grounds called on the Indians. He has a great fondness for the noble red man, having formerly had a good deal to do with h. dians when he was connected with the Forepaugh show. Davis wished to show his friend his skill as a convcrsationist in the Sioux dialect, and he began tn talk Indian to the assembled chiefs. To his chagrin the chiefs gave no sign of understanding him.
 "These Indians don't seem to know the Sioux language, charitably sug- geSted Davis friend
 "Oh. they're not in talkative mood just now, ;" explained Davis.
 Just then one of the chiefs grunted out in very fair English:
 Are you still with Forepaugh. Da, vis?''
 Mir. Davis has not spoken any Sioux since.-Ncw York Press.
