filled with water and has since been
closed. Many thousands of dollars
have been spent in endeavoring to
find the underground extension with

proposed tunneling the Quakake

which would cost millions, was aban'

Mr.. Smith will make him find her"
the authors wife replied, and then
something in the servants manner led
her TO think the girl regarded It as a
veritable occurrence. So she added:
You know that is only a made-up

TIE LATE BILL NyE,
Characteristics Of One Of Our Greatest
Native Humorists.

When Bill Nye went to the New
York Uorld, he was offered $3.50 a
week II had to use a great deal of
persuasion, said Colonel Cockerill
in speaking Of it afterward, "to get
him to take up his abode in New
York and become regular member
of the Worla staff. He was afraid Of
the big city. He thought that his
homely humor would not be appre-
ciated here, and that he would lose his
touch with things rural l convinced
him that the metropolis was made up
Of country born men, and that our
active, potential citizens loved the
smell OF dog fennel, the hum of the
bee and the sweet incense Of the hay
NOW on wet days.
"Nye never cared much about his
personal appearance. He Wore clothes
simply to cover him, he said, and it
was true. Some persons might think
that Nye was a peculiarly fortunate
man. 1t is a fact that he was the
victim Of many mIsfortunes. Soon
after he began to make money by his
writings he was afflicted with spinal
meningitis, which was epidemic at the
time. He had just recovered and
had gone to Wisconsin, where he was
visiting his brother, when he was
caught out in cyclone and almost
killed. About both misfortunes he
wrote in such a humorous manner
that those who did not know him
personally think to this day that he
was merely romancing. The incidents
were serious realities, however. He
used to explain his lack of hair by
saying that the spinal meningitis
loosened the roots and that when the
cyclone came along his hair was blown
off with the leaves. On another oc-
casion he seriously assured an inquirer
that his head grew faster than his hair.
Then he was confined to a hospital
for long time with kidney trouble,
and was shipwrecked about a year
ago in the Bermudas. Both incidents
served as topics for humorous articles.

etc, from the different places you visit
press and label as you gather them, and
take them home with you. Provide
yourself with stiff-covered notebook
and a bottle Of mucilage. Some cold,

you are feeling dull or blue, take out
your notebook and mucilage, get pen
and ink, spread your souvenirs on the
table before you, see that the room is
warm and comfortable, and you are
ready for a pleasant afternoon. Fasten
your first flower or fern into your note
book and describe the place and cir
cumstances OF the time in which you
picked it. With the second flower do
the same, and so on as long as you
like or have time. AS you thus recall
the pleasures Of your vacation you will
be living them over again, and the
