In the memoirs of Baron Stockmar is q note by his son. the editor of tho work, ill theSO words:
 ''There were not wanting instances of shamelesSncSs against which he had to defend himself. A rich Englishman, an author and member of parliament, called upon him one day and promised to give him G1O, 900 if he would further his petition to the queen for preragc Stockmar replied: I will now go into the next room i'll order to give you time. If upon my return I still find you here shall have you turned out by the serv- ants.
 Very creditablc, of course, to Stock mar, considering his circumstances and position. The incident occurred in the early forties apparently, and there were not many rich Englishnen at that pc riod who were both "authors and mem- bers of parliament.

Cn- der his arm the wcarcr of the wadded cap carries an ordinary black soft hat If his i1ead gets cold, he can put that on top of the pile, over his veil for he wears q veil, this man who fears the weather. A woman's heavy brown barege veil is pinned about the wadded cap, completely obscur- ing the features of the remarkable person. You cannot for your life tell whether he is black or white. You can only sec through the veil in the region where the eyes ought to be two round, darkish disks, dcnoting that, besides his cap, hat, veil and horse blanket, the individual has further pro- tected tho upper portion of his anatomy with blue glasses.

He ESC2ped.

Bad Bill Wheeler, as one of the cow boys on the Big ranch is familiarly known, called at The Kicker office the other day to leave a cap with d bullet hole ill it which he had shot off the head of bicycle tourist over on the Prescott highway. Bad Bill and five more of the boys were hunting lost stock ill the woods when they caught sight of the man flying along the high way. They at once began q hot pursuit, and for the first mile had him within pistol range, but as soon as he struck the down grade south of Grizzly hill he gradually pulled away from them and finally escaped. It was the first bicy- cliSt any of the Big 6 boys had ever seen. and they greatly desired to cap turc and cage him as a living curiosity, but they were doomed to disappoint- mcnt.

 A month ago we threw open our pri- vate editorial graveyard to the public as a park, and it has become the most popular evening resort within the city limits.

 A short time ago we bought an acre of ground and founded a postmaster's graveyard, but no improvements will be made this year. If things go right, we may open it to the public next sum- mer, and thereby relieve the pressure on the other, but nothing has been real ly decided on thus far. Meanwhile we extend hearty invitation to one and all of our citizens to make daily use of our editorial graveyard as a park. We make but one exception. If we find our esteemed contemporary within the in closure, we shall proceed to throw him out. He has repeatedly lied about our graveyard and held it up to scorn, and but for our vigilance would have ex- humed some of the bodies to start an institution of his own
