THE WATERMELON STORY.

MANY years ago, when l was
studying for the gallows, 1 had
a dear comrade, d youth who
was not in my line, but still a
thoroughly good fellow, though
devious. He was preparing to
qualify for place on the board,
for there was going to be a va
cancy by approximation in alb.
out five years. This was down
south III the slavery days. 1t
was the nature Of the negro
then, as now, to steal water.
melons. They stole three of
the melons Of an adaptive
brother of mine, the only good
ones he had. l suspected three
OF a neighbours negroes, but
there was no proof; and, be.
sides, the watermelous in those
negroes private patches were
all green and small and not up
to the indemnity standard. But
in the private patches of three
other negroes there was a
number of competent melons. 1
consulted with my comrade, the
understudy of the board. He
said that if l would approve
his arrangements he would ar
range.
II said: Consider ME the
board; l approve; arrange
So he took a gun and went
and collected three large mel
ons for my brother-on,the half
shell and one over. 1 was
greatly pleased and asked"
/" who gets the extra one?

Among the Babylonians tying

the bridegroom and tied
them into a knot which he gave

Mark Twain Replies With Wat
ermelOn sStOrv.
Special to the Poet-Dispatch.,

Special to the Poet-Dispatch.,
New York, March 3O.-Mark
Twain tells a watermelon story
in his reply to his reply to re.
cent attacks upon him by the
members of the American
Board of Foreign Missions tor
criticism of the Rev. DR.. Ament,
the veteran missionary in
China. This latest contribution
OF the humorist OF the dispute
was written for publication in
the North American Review
and will be presented in it's next
number The watermelon
story is used to illustrate the
principal point which Mark
makes against the Rev. DR..
Ament. 1t appears that COR
respondent in China of a New
York paper telegraphed that
the reverend doctor had COL
lected from the Chinese in
various places. as a result of
the recent Boxer outbreak, IL
times in excess of the actual
losses. Mark Twain assailed
tax gathering as as species of
eXtortlon, wnereupon DR..
Ament, appealed to by his
friends for an explanation. is
alleged to have replied that a
mistake had been made in the
printing of the story, and that
the amount collected was only
one-third more than the actual
losses and not ID times the
amount.
} Mark Twain, with humor-
lists notion of moral values,
contends that the difference
between an "eXtortion" repre-
scented by - and one represent
ed by one-third, is Il difference
really of degree, and not of
kind; that the collection of
damages from certain Chinese
for crimes committed by other
Chinese is unjust.
One of the points of iustif-
cation made by the Rev. DR..
Ament and his friend was that
his collection of the reprisa Is
was approved by the Chinese
officials. Another point in the
same line was the collections
were used to some extent for
the benefit of widows and or
plans who had beLn bereft by
the crimes of the Boxers. Mark
Twain seeks to cover all the
points involved in his water
melon story, which is as fol-
lows:

" 1t would have been wrong;
a crime, in tact-theft and ex-
tortion.'
" What is the one-third extra
the odd melon the same?'
1T caused him to reflect. But
there was no result
1.-THE justice of the peace was
a stern man. On the trial he
found fault with the scheme and
required US to explain upon
what we based our strange con.
duct as he called it. The un.
derstudy said:
" On the custom of the mig.
gers. They all do it,
THE justice forgot his digni-
ty and descended to sarcasm:
" Custom of the niggers.
Are our morals so inadequate
that we have to borrow of mig.
gers?'
Then he said to the Justice:
Three melons were owing: they
were collected from persons
not proved to owe them; this is
theft. They were collected by
compulsion; this is extortion.
A melon was added for the
widows and orphans. 1t was

turn it whence it came with the
others. 1t is not permissible
here to apply to aav object
goods dishonesty obtained not
even to the feeding of widows
and orphans, for that would be
to put shame upon charity
and dishonor.
In the course of the article
there are many "Twainisms."
Without Il doubt. says
Mark. DIR. Ament did what
he believed to be right and 1
conc eive that when a man is
doing what he believes is right

ing from the board and l got
mine outside. Neither of us is
res ponsible altogether"
THE HEART AND HEAD.
Referring to the American
Board of Foreign Missions, he
says: That it has heart
which has never harbOred an
evil Intention, no one will deny.
The boards heart is not in
court; it is it's head that is on
trial. 1t is a sufficiently
strange head; its way battles
com prehension' It's methods are
novelties to the practical world;
its judgments are surprises.
When one thinks it is going to
speak and must speak, it is
silent; when one thinks it ought
to be silent and is going to be
silent, it speaks. Put your
finger where you think it ought
to be, it is not there; put it
where you think it ought not to
be, there you find it," There is
a characteristic jab in the
article at the Rev. DR.. Judson
Smith, corresponding secretary
OF the board of foreign mis-
sions. who has been one of
Twain's assailants in the past.
Mark says that he is not blam
ing DR.. Smith for certain alleg-
ed discrepancies and continues:
