LETTERS FROM BILL WYE.
They Were Written Years Ago By the
 HumCrist to a School Friend.

Digging through some of my old, al most forgotten spOndence the Oth- CT day I came across a souvenir which I prize most hi5hly-a letter from the i late Bill Nye" We were school boys together III St. Croix county, Wis, and more than one boxish prank did we share, both in the pleasure and the i punishment.
 Edgar Wilson Nye, as the name ic recorded in the family Bible, was not considered q phenOmenally smart boy as boys go, and I myself have even en- ioyed the distinction Of spelling him down" in the old fashioned country spelling schools, but long befOre he had a thought of awaki1g the world to laughter by his bright and clsanly fund of hQmor he was noted among his com paniOns for a certain dry wit that in later years served to make him famous.
 The occasion which brought out the letter given below was an injury which he had suffered at Hudson, Wis, in the fall Of 1885, by the running away of a horse behind which he was riding Nye was thrown from the carriage and sui ferod Q somewhat severe shaking up of his anatomy. and delivered himself Of what he would term an impression or two in a personal letter to the writ CT short time after. The letter re- produced verbatim is as follows:
 Hudson, Wis, Nov 24, 1885.
 Friend ---:
 The accident was not so serious as it might have been, and so far as l aL1 concerned not 50 serious as many had hoped.
 Tt was great success. I very rare ly take hold of anything that does not produce amusement for some one.

him to allow the 69th Regiment to parade with

but refused consider H. saying that such action
