Twain at the Telephone,

While living at his home at Hartford,
Conn.,, Mark Twain was one morning deep
in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected a good deal, when he was
called to the telephone. He told the servant
to receive the message and bring it to him,
party at the other end of the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Mark
went to the telephone, and, after "helloing"
for some time without al answer, he used
SOM language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston
ished tones and recognized the voice of an
"Is that you, doctor?" questioned Mr.. Glenn
ms. II didn't hear what you said. My but
Ter has been at the telephone and said he
couldn,t understand YOU"

CREDIT SHE DIDN'T SEEK.
Embarrassing Position of an Absent.
Minded woman Who Had Made
a Mistake.

A lady who keeps a summer boarding.
house at the seashore near Boston went
down the other day to look the house ever
and find out what must be renewed, She
found numerous umbrellas left by former
boarders, says the Boston Transcript, and
tying them together, she took the bundle
to Boston to have them repaired. She
stopped in at Hovey's and laid the bundle
on the floor at her feet at the counter.
When she had made her purchase, she for.
got her umbrellas, and absent-mindedly
picked up an umbrella lying on the coun.
ter, thinking it was hers, or not thinking
at all, and started off.
Then the owner of the umbrella, a won.
an standing next her, seized her and said
very sharply: "You have taken my UNI
brella!" Of course she apologized, feeling
much cut up about it, and went on forget,
ting in her fuster her own bundle of UNI.
brellas. The next day, on her way to Cam.
bridge, she went to Hovey's and readily
recovered her lost package of umbrellas,
which had been kept for her. On the car
for Cambridge she noticed a lady cycling her
very closely. Presently this lady leaned
forward and said to her, with elegant EN-.
phasis:
"You seem to have been more fortunate
to.day!"
It was the lady whose umbrella she had
taken the day before.

MONEY LEFT TO A MOOSE.
Provisions In a Will for thu Animal,s
Old Age Made by ar Ad-
mirer.

A few years ago the Flag brothers
of Rangely, Me-, came upon a baby
moose starving in the forest. Whether
the mother deserted it or was fright
ened away by the hunters. the babe was
there alone. Taking him home, the
two boys built him a pen and gave him
milk to drink. Faithfully did they
care for their charge and he, in com.
pensation, grew in strength and stat.
ure, says the Boston Globe.
Then Mark Remission bought him
and reaped a harvest in small coins al
the local shows and fairs. Mr.. Kennis.
ton also had black bass that would per.
form tricks, but the gem of his collec.
ton remained Mr.. Moose. Among his
many accomplishments was his ability
to turn off a fast mile on the track. II
was no uncommon occurrence to see
him hitched into a sulky tearing down
the home stretch, his awkward, shamb,
ling gait evoking hearty applause from
the grandstand.
1t was now that Mr.. Moose came tt
figure prominently in the affairs
of men. Heretofore he had been mere.
ly an entertainer. Now he was to real
more everlasting rewards. The game
wardens of the Rangely section decreei
that he should be liberated and re.
turned to his native wilds. But as Mr.
Remission had paid money for his
mooseship and had been frequently Of
fered good money for the same, the de.
mand did not meet with immediate ac,
quiescence. Nor did the moose wish tc
change his style of living.
The white mans burden was easy tc
bear and the feed was beyond reproach
The liberty of the village was his. The
most choice meadows were his stamp.
ing grounds. And from the Remission
farm some three miles from town the
unbroken forest stretched away in
never-accepted invitation.
Still the game wardens insisted
Then Israel R. Bray, a man ofproperty
died and left in his will the sun of So,
900 to be expended in giving the moose
the advantages Of civilization. When
once this fact became known the mat.
ter was dropped, and Mr.. Moose had
only to live in dignity and ease until
death claimed him as her own.

AUSTRALIANS FREE LUNCH.
Country Are Politely and PIen-
tifully Served.

The free lunch system of the United
States is a thoroughly American insti.
tuition, but transplanted to Australia
it flourishes at least as luxuriantly as
its parent in the great republic. There
a person purchasing a glass of beer at
an inn or restaurant may supplement
it, free of charge, with a cut from a
joint or a choice of dishes, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
In this particular bid for custom
Australia has, of course, the important
advantage of meat at next to nothing,
although, it should be added, your Sgd
ney or Melbourne restaurateur charges
you quite as much for your meal as it
would cost you at an establishment OF
a similar character in London or Paris.
The injury, therefore, that has been
worked upon the ordinary caterer by
the rapid extension OF, the free lunch
business may be gagged from the fact
that there are at present in Sydney
several first-class hotels where. by pur-
chasing a sixpenny drink, you may
partake of a cold luncheon the equal OF
which, if eaten in a restaurant, would
cost several times the money-without
the drink.
Here there is no indiscriminate self.
help by the patron, no spelling of the
symmetry Of the sirloin by hungry and
inexperienced carvers, no ruthless
wrecking of the lobster salad by selfish
solicitors of lobster without the proper
proportion of lettuce. Here you are
attended to at a handsome cedar coun-
ter, and whatever you may fancy, and
as much of it as you care for, is served
by the walters in attendance. From
fish to cheese, everything is of the fin
est, seeing that it represents the sur.
plus, not the remnants, of the admir-.
able dinner served upstairs the evening
before at five shillings.

Notes OF the Class.
A large number of handsome and
costly presents were received by the
members of the class.
There were decorations and class
colors galore, even the class rock
came in for its share of publicity.
AS the class of fifty goes out class
numbering one hundred and twenty.
six comes to the high school from

/ Mr.. Ott presents each member Of
the class with his lecture in pamphlet
form. The members will please cal
at the Hedge book store and receive
the same. Mr.. OFT said that this was
the twentieth time he had delivered
the lecture to graduating classes this
season.
With the last words of the class
song pandamonium broke loose in
the opera house. There were class
yells and cheers until the entire
house was filled with an uproar and
no yell could be distinguished. The
seniors made the house wild by
pllling a little burro on the stage.
He was ticketed and tagged in big let
ters that were read and the Joke
went at it's worth.
The class motto was Hammer it
Out" The "'Ols" laid trap for the
seniors along on this line but the
seniors were not caught. An anvil
and hammer were brought to the
stageas a decoration and as an en-
blem of the motto. On the anvil
were the figures "O1". The applica-
ton of the moral was obvious. The
seniors "tumbled" and the decora-
ton was removed.
