THE STORY TELLERS.
The Englishman Who Capped All
Stories Save One.

| From the New York Tribune.
"The Lord save ME from an Eng
| lishman who has done things or says
he has," said a western man at the
Waldorf-Astoria recently. "Such a
one will spoil any party and throw
gloom on any gathering he happens
to be in. An Englishman of this type
was once a visitor in my town and
at the club he became an unmitigated
nuisance. No matter what story was
told, the Britisher invariably went the
narrator one better. For example, one
man told of a big faro game he had
seen at Cheyenne in those never to- be-
forgotten days when cattle sold at $75
a head and every one in the cattle
country simply reeked with wealth.
1t was good story. but as soon as it
was finished the Englishman rang in
one of an experience he had had at
Monte Carlo that made the Cheyenne
tale seem like bottle of fiat cham
payne.
"Then an eX-army officer told of
company of infantry at Gettysburg
that had been sent to capture a GER
tain hill. They didn't secure it, but 10
per cent. of the company lay dead or
founded on that bloody hillside before
the boys in blue could be driven back.

an experience of his in India. Out of
company of rs Slkhs that he COM
manded only two escaped-hmself and
another, the other shot so full of holes
that he looked like a nutmeg crater.

sary by this last anecdote had been i'm
bibed another man so forgot himself
as to relate an experience he had had
while hunting bears, The English
man chimed in at once with legend
of bear hunt of his own. He had
only six shots in his magazine rifle
and was attacked by four adult and
two cub bears. After an exhibition of
fancy shooting that must have made
the performances of Wild Bill or
Billy the Kid look amateurish the
last bear fell, shot through the heart,
only six feet from where the doughty
Englishman stood

tion of this Munchausen positively

the attempt to blow up Mrs Ellen An

Sunday night and an investigation will
be made.
The dwelling which was damaged is
situated in the rear Of 904 Keyser ave-

lection. A suspicion exists as to who
perpetrated the deed, but no arrests

It is learned from Albuquerque

effort is also being made to hold an
athletic tournament during the fair, to
be participated in by teams from the

Insane Model Seeks to Escape.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. Miss Helen
Vanderbilt Wackerman, who is said by
many artists to be the most beautiful
woman in the world, is suffering from
severe injuries she received while
smashing the windows of her room to
escape from an imagined danger.
Miss Wackerman accompanied by
her mother returned from Europe some
months ago and has spent most of her
time in seclusion at her mothers home
in this city. A fire in a building
across the street from the Wackerman
residence caused unusual excitement
which rendered the young woman
frantic and she attempted to escape
from her room by breaking six large
panes OF glass with her hands. When
aid reached Miss Wackerman she was
found to be badly cut and covered with
blood. Though still suffering from the
shock she has in a measure recovered
from her physical injuries, though she
shows no mental improvement.

SOME FANCIFUl FACTS.
A Missouri Editor, With Backbone,
Tells STARTLING Truths.

Not long since a Missouri editor an
that just for one issue he
would tell the truth, naked and unvar-
nished. Here are a few items from the
issue:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant in
town, made a trip to Rellvine yester-
day.
Married-Miss Sylvia Rhodes to Jas.
Carnaham, last Saturday evening at
the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a
very ordinary girl who doesn't know
any more than a rabbit about cooking
and never helper her poor mother
three days of her life. She Is not a
beauty by any means and has a gait
like a fat duck. The groom is well
known here, an up to date %loafer, has
been living off the old folks all his life
and don't amount to much no how.
They will have a hard life while they
live together and the Times hastens to
extend absolutely no congratulations,
for we don't believe any good can come
from such a union.
John Doyle, cur groceryman, is do
ing a poor business. His store is dirty
and n~oxiously oderiferous. He doesn't
advertise nor treat people courteously.
How can he expect to do much?
Rev. Styx preached Sunday night on
charity" The sermon was punk. II
the reverend gentleman would live up
a little closer to what he preached he'd
have a bigger congregation. The edi-
tor of the Times attended just because
ii is the proper thing. He would
rather stay at home and read a good
book.
Dave Sonkey died last Saturday
morning at his home in this place.
The doctor gave it out that it was
heart failure. The fact is he was
drunk and whiskey was what killed
him and his home was a rented shack
in Bowdy street.
On press day of this particular issue
the editor of the Times left the city for
a days visit to let the old town cool
off, and for a whole week longer went
home through the back alley.
