Ingenious Pioneers.

Men who pioneer the way in new parts
of the world, where wild nature reigns,
and no resource of civilization is there to
comfort and help, must needs be full of
cxpedients and keen of wit To get along
and come out winners Some pioneers
succeed where Others fail simply because,
when driven To it, they can build "a boat
or n house without TOOLS make palatabe
bread without yeast, cat stewed monkey
or fried ants without qualm, or with
ready tact transform excited savagcs,
bowling for war, into "a crowd of laughing

Ten years ago French expedition was
sent into tho western Sutfun to occupy u
new region and build a fort at Siguiri,
where the Tangisso river joins the Niger.
One day they came to kokoro river, which
could not be fordod, and there were no
native canoes to carry them across. Tho
whites sat down on the bank to talk the
problem over. Pontoons made from fellcd
trees and other schemes wero discussed.
AT last one OF them said;
"Iook here. We have 6, 600 feet of tele

SHOWING OFF A GUEST.
The Innkeeper Was Determined Ex-sec
retary Fessenden should Appear.

One night while ex-Secretary Fessenden
was OH political mission 10 the northern
part of Maine he stopped at small hotel.
In the center of the house was IA big
stove that warmed two rooms. In one OF
the apartments Judge Fcsscndcn cstab-
lishcd himself and prepared 10 take proper
comfort during the evening. just as he
had got well located with book, the
landlord, "a q foot French Canadian, came
in.
Excuse me, 'ser" said he, "but Mr..
Ed Wiggone of Maysvillc. she be in do
oddcr room, an she wan TO see Mr.. Fes'
sendeen." "
Tell Mr. Wiggin I'll he in n little lat
er, said Judge Fcssenden, turning an
other leaf in his book.
The landlord went out. He returned in
moment. Mr. Wiggone she send his
compliments, an she say dat she wan Mr..
Fessendeen right away.
The interruption just at that moment
rather nUttfUu the jrrfgr; who was in no
way accustomed To dictatorship. He sent
back such sharp reply that it was easily
seen that the landlord was cut by his as
perity. In just 80 seconds the landlord
was back. Judge Fesscnden raised his
eyes to find the man staring at him with
a look Of desperate resolve. With sup
pressed excitement in his tones tho tall
landlord spoke.
Mr.. Wiggonc say she wan see Mr..
Fessendeen quick, an she CUES O dc
house, an l say she gon' to see him"
Forthwith the big landlord swooped
down on the astonishcd gentleman, seized
him, tucked him under his arm and strodo
across into the room of the peremptory
gentleman from Maysvillc.
"Mr. Wiggoncs," calmly said the
landlord as matter of fact as though he
had just delivered pitcher of ice water,
"here be Mr.. FeSsondeen. He set the
indignant caller down on chair and
retired smilingly Bangor Commercial.

WlLKlE COLLINS PLEASED.
A Photograph Which He Wanted For All
His Friends.

The following may bo Of interest to
amateur photographers. When asked how
facial expression can enter into the photo
graph OF n person whose face IL naturally
cxprcssionless, Otto Sarony replied; "Such
"A subject should be studied by photogra-
pher. In what does he JOY, grieve, become
interested, enthusiastic or hopefuly There
is always some subject which will animate
his soul and manifest itself i'm facial ex.
preston. When that one thing is found,
the subject will be mt his best, and then
the photographer must take his picture.
Mr. Sarony related an incident which
illustrated this point. Wilkie Collins Wis
tied the studio Of his celebrated father.
While sitting before the camera his face
was entirely cxprcssionless. Sarony en-
gagged him in conversation. Suddenly
while speaking of his fayorite book, 1.-The
Woman In Whte,' most interesting
popularity of expression played over Col.

and bad his subject at his best. Return
ing To England Collins wrote: "You have

friends. A photographers and sitter
should be in harmony. The former should
possess tact and personal magnetism. it

The betting before the draw was heavy. All
fell out but the banker and Baldwin. The

and was almost convinced that the banker
had him beaten. Baldwin hesitatcd whether
he shSuld take two cards or one. lie finally
drew one, and had gone in with three
queens. Ralston had three aces, as the
former had supposed. Baldwin took up
his hand after the draw and skinned"
the cards in an anxiety that he had never
felt before. He had drawn tho queen Of
spades, "a woman's face that had never
looked so sweet in all the course of his life,
as he characterized it.
There was So, 600 in the pot. Ralston
had drawn a pair of jacks, making an ace

watched every movement of the two play

the bet as much more, but hesitated and
