THE FISHER MARTEN.
COnceited, Cunning and Intelligent
and without Fear.

and without Fear.
The fisher marten deserves to be
much better known than he generally
is, if only on account of his own good
opinion of himself, his wonderful cum
ming and shrewd intelligence
One Of the largest and handsomest
of the martens, he has also agility
strength and endurance for any two
Of his kind put together. Measuring
about three feet in length, with a SLIM
vigorous body. the fisher will travel
enormous distances in single night,
bounding lightly up into the air, with
his nose turned up in order to catch
every Wifi of scent. outwitting other
animals and the cleverest trappers and
making himself at home wherever he
happens to find himself.
lie generally chooses as his hunting
grounds the thickly covered hills and
ridges where the hemlock and spruce
grow in abundance, but he is as much
ground and can sleep as soundly in a
low hollow of a tree as on branch Of
a fir tree, where he will lie stretched
out in the sunshine like any old cat.
AS for fear he does not know what
it is. He will not only face but nc-
tually kill Canadian porcupine and
does not even appear to mind the
quilts which penetrate his body. He
is not particularly fond of meeting an
old bear with cubs, but is generally
clever enough to steal her cubs while
she goes off on some little expedition
of her own, while instances have been
related of the fishers in the Rocky
mountains even killing young grizzlies,
AS for man, he appears to laugh at
him and his designs for trapping wild
animals. He will pull marten trap
open and take out the bait, whether
alive or dead; he will tear a pine mar
ten or mink to pieces in no time and
carry it off or drag the trap over some
rough projection in order to spring it
without having received as much as a
scratch.
But perhaps his cleverest trick, when
he finds trapper is following his
trail, is to get behind the trapper and
follow his, SO that while the uncon-
scious trapper is walking after the
fisher the fisher is keeping completely
out Of danger by following the trap
per. Many a useless mile has the
trapper walked in this manner, and
many good bats has he lost by the
very same shrewd, cunning animal he
is trying to trace and catch.-Collier's
Weekly.

The Chinaman's Profanity.
From the Youths Companion.


All Fom. a Chinese cook in the employ
of a family in California. was a great adj
mirer of the youngest son, daring and
mischievous boy of sixteen. All Fom him
self, to quote the description of DR.. Faus-
tus in the old legend had a naughty mind
and was otherwise addicted" especially to
profanity. He evidently regarded Fred as
a profitable model to study. although the
lads worst vice was slang, which he used
at times with dramatic intensity. His ia
yorite invective was IN. c." and All Fom
secretly added it to his own vocabulary.
All Toms profanity was fearful to listen
to- howbeit unintelligible to English ears
He usually worked himself UP to a climax
and then resumed the task with the smiling
equanimty of mein peculiar to Celestials.
One day company was expected and All
Fom was endeavoring to outshine himself
He had mixed the particular cake which
was the pride of his heart and put it In the
oven. Then. in4the hurry of his other work
he fornot it. When the mistress came and
asked to see it he flew to the oven and
found it burned to charcoal.
The rage of All Fom was dreadful to be-
hold He whirled round like top, with
his pigtail flying, uttering words so diaboli-
cal in their infection that the mistress fled
in terror; and then, impelled by curiosity
she paused by the door, All Fon whirled
and swore. and swore and whirled, until il
seemed to the single spectator as if he must
drop exhausted And then with the air OF
having reached the very quintessence OF
profanity, he brought down his foot once
twice. thrice. and cried: IN GIL NJ G.! N
Gp' When the mistress recovered from her
emotion he was plaeidly mixing the batter
for another cake!

HIS OLD "MISSUS."
Held in High Esteem by the White
House Doorkeeper.

Arthur Simmons. the historic colored
doorkeeper at the White House. never for
gets to say how much he owes to the rear
ing given him by the white lady who owned
him and saw him to young manhood. IF
she was living today and needed a mouth
full of bread or some money she could have
every cent I've got" is the way Simmons
speaks of my old missus," and his eyes
sometimes fill with tears. "She didn't let
me play with the bad negro boys and the
bad white boys of Wilmington" he said
but 1 played with the best white boys of
that town. Not long ago / ran across one
of my old white playmates. He is now a big
man in his state. but he didn't hesitate to
put his arms around me and treat me just
like l was a long-lost relative. When the
circus was in town the other day 1t brought
to my mind that circus came to Whining
ton every year l was a little slave boy in
that town, but saw 1t every time it came.
My old missus always gave me a quarter
and told me to go and see the circus. She
used to send me to- nearly everything that
took place. l remember that there was
hanging in Wilmington one time, white
man and negro being hung at the same
time. My old miSSus told me to go and see
the execution, which took place in public.
witnessed the hanging and then stayed on
the streets with the boys until dark playing
marbles. I had never been so forgetful be-
fore and when ! got home and was asked
what l had been doing l had to confess.
My missus upbraided for lettering on
the streets, but she didn't whip me. She
never gave stripe in my life and when
she died her relatives never whipped me,
either. But she punished me for that loi-
tering that day in way that 1 remembered
for years. The murderers were buried after
the execution in what was known as hang
mans hollow My old missus told me that
as punishment for my offense l must go to
the newly made graves of the murderers
and bring her back handful of earth from
the graves. How my eyes did open and my
hair stand on end. 1t was then dark, and
I didn't believe there was a person alive
who could do that and live / thought that
my old missus knew everything, and when
the idea came into my mind of going around
the corner a square or two and getting some
earth there, l gave 1t up certain thing
that she would know the difference and
send me back for the real dirt much later
In the night How l ever went to the grave
and got back I don't know but 1 did, and
nv old missus rubbed some of the dirt in
my face. That was the worst punishment
she ever gave and l did not let 1t pass
out of my mind for many years. When /
send me to that same spot for more dirt.
But as | say, she never struck me a blow in
nv life or allowed any one else to do it.
Sometimes she would pull one of my ears
to bring me to remembrance of something
she told me. God bless her. 1 wish she was
living today.

: THE CRIMSON SOCK.
WRITTEN FOR THE EVENING STAR BY MARIAN WEST
Copyright. 1908. by Marian west.)

Murel was late as usual. Being given a
slow, dawdly sort of name, she never came
on time to anything. I don't suppose Mu-
riel could be alert and business-like any
more than a Kate could be vague and
dreamy. But she might have fought
against the name little, especially on her
own wedding day. The groom had walked
a track into the vestry carpet. and l was
getting uncomfortable myself, when the
organ gave a great thump of relief and the
tum, tum, tarum! Of the wedding march
told me it was time to take Louis out and
stand him up to be married
The best man always has superior sort
of air in the chancel. He isn't going to
make little show of himself to amuse a
churchill of people. and then strut down
the aisle, arm in arm, with a white mound
Of fluff, looking and feeling like a toy figure

palms if he is embarrassed, or study the
white ribbon guests If he has done 1t often
enough before, or make eyes at the maid of

"Wen, sir, if they always looked their
trade we'd have less trouble" was the
dubious answer. 81 don't for moment
say it's you, but my duty" etc
1t was clear enought to me. The wo-
man had been in the sidewalk crowd a
few hours earlier, when Muriel was mar
ried. and had picked up the other sock as
it dropped off. But I couldn't get this
through the mans head, SO, very savage,
! took him to the police station to get him
discharged for officiousness and stupidity.
At least, that is the way l explained the
trip to myself.
The magistrate laughed good naturally
over my tale.
IT guess you've barked up the wrong
tree this time, SAM he said. That's the
other sock, sure enough. 1t probably hap
pened just as the young gentleman says
she picked it up at the church. / wish you
would go up and take a look at her and
see If you noticed her there yesterday. She's
an odd looking fish. You'd remember her."

tested
ooh, 1t won't take a minute. We want
to find out IL there was any one with her,

She won't open her head"
I followed, unwillingly enough, through
