A PLOT FOR A NOVEL.

,Derate Literateur.

tPNA
A novelist in Boston - do not alugh,
there are novelists in Boston, yet, and
actually living here-said to US the
other day: IF I could only find a
plot" Here is a plot for him free of
charge, and the story is a true one:
"In 1879 a lady-a real lady-came
into Birmingham, England, with a
handsome equipage, and desired the
landlord Of the inn to get her a hus-
band, being determined to marry some
body or other before she left the town.
The nan bowed, and supposed her
ladyship to be in a facetious humor,
but being made sensible how much she
was in earnest, went out in search of
a man that would marry a fine lady
without asking questions.
"After many repulses from poor fell
lows who were not desperate enough
for such a venture he met with an ex-
else man, who said he could not be in
a worse condition that he was and &C.
cordingly went with the inn-keeper and
made a tender Of himself, which was
all he had to bestow on the lady, who
Immediately went with him to n who
gave them a license and made them
her spouse f200, and without more de.
lay left the town and bridegroom to
find out who she was or unriddle this
strange adventure. Soon after she was
gone. two gentlemen came into the
town in full pursuit of her; they had
traced her so far upon the road, and
finding the inn where she had put up.
they examined into all the particulars
OF her conduct, and upon hearing that
she was married, gave up their pursuit
and turned back.
Truly, a noble dame, one worthy OF
a full length portrait in the gallery con.
structed by Thomas Hardy.
"Why did this noble dame offer her
self to the first conner? And why were
the respectable males of the town sc
backward? There was no hint OF
scandal. Who were the p%ursuers? Die
she wish by one sudden marriage to
escape one deliberately contrived anG
repugnant? Was the excise man g
pretty fellow in spite of his AFFECT con
dition? Did she yer see him again
Did she ever regret that she had n o
braved the world and lived with him
Perhaps the memory of her apparitior
haunted him; perhaps It aroused him Il
doughty deeds. It's a pity that Mr

BURNING COLORADO FORESTS.
Suggestion That the Fires May Have
Ceen Caused BY Metsors.

Suggestion That the Fires May Have
Seen Caused BY Meteors.
Scientists are having their attention
called to the coincidence In the preva-
lence Of SO many forest Tres in the
Rocky Mountains and the scientific
fact that a great number of meteors
have been tearing up the earth in this
quarter of the globe.
1t has been suggested that these
me.eors dropping in various mountain
districts, in heavy pine forests, have
exploded and thus started the big for
est fires that are doing so much dam
age. This is a new theory in the
scientific world, but it is not without
tho range of possibilities and seems
the only explanation of the mysterious
origin Of these fires. These fires have
originated apparently without human
agency and there has not been any
theory of lightning origin.
Denver scientists are now making
q study of this theory and in a few
days will doubtless express their
opinions. It certainly seems a salts
factory explanation Of how fires origi
rate in sections far from the roads
of travel and the habitation of men.
Word has just been received in Den
yer of a fire that is raging lei
Grand Lake, Col, and which is threat
ening much property. This fire, it is
supposed, originated from the burst
ing of a meteor on a hay ranch near
Grand Lake. Another disastrous fire,
with h~yasterious origin, is raging neal

Once upon a time there was a roach

10 a wise old ant. Now 1t happened
that the ant did not like the roach and
would gladly have murdered him but
tor the roach's size and great strength,
which made the ant no match for him

The ant placed poison at the roach's

the house came into the room to look
for reaches, the ant called upon the
roach to come out Of his hole, hoping
the lady would kill him, but the roach
heard her footsteps and kept close.
Next the ant tried to compass the de
struction of the roach by daring hin
to climb up the side of the wall, hoping
that the roach would fall from a great
height and break his neck. The roach
however, refused to climb.
Now it happened that the roach was
a great sprinter and was very proud Of
his ability to get over the ground in q
hurry. The ant CHANGED to think OF
this, and, going to the roach, chal

ADVICE FOR HUNTERS.

os4SH OSNe4Gnos
"My advice to the hunter who wants
to add the pe1t of a great American
monarch Of wild beasts to his collection
Of sportsmanlike trophies, is to seek his
game in the early summer months.
On the Pacific Coast a grizzly's skin
is the best in June. In Rocky Noun
tain regions it is best a month later.
In the autumn, even up to the time
they retire for the winter, their fur. is
not prime, and, again, having become
rolling fat by gorging themselves on
berries, they move about very little,
and that mostly at night, so that a
hunter might be in a good locality for
them for weeks and never see more Of
them than their tracks. But in the
spring, the minute a bear leaves his
winter quarters he begins a ceaseless
tramp for food. Then the wise hunter
will procure three of four old crippled
horses and kill them in some favorite
places among the foothills. where bruin
is likely to travel. If one has three
bats, they should be placed about
five miles apart. and camp made with
in a mile or two of the middle one.
Early in the morning, and again at
evening, the nearest bait can be visited
afoot, and the other bats can be
watched on alternate days, a ten-mile
horseback ride being just good exercise
for the very weakest tenderfoot. Great
care should be taken in placing the
horse bats. IF possible, find a small
hill entirely bare of timber or brush,
which slopes steeply down to the west,
at the foot of which is some heavy pine
timber and brush, also water. XIII

A Monster Trout.

Harry Wulff received from Mea-

in the Little Salmon in this county,
by d. c. Lewis, OF Meadows. 1t
was 20 inches long and weighed three
pounds and one ounce. An affidavit
from Mr.. Lewis accompanied the
fish, in which affiant states that he
caught the fish, June 27, 1908, In
the Little Salmon river, within the
boundaries of Washington county
that be was more than half an hour
landing the fish. Mr. Lewis stated
that he was in the contest for the
rod and reel offered by Haas Bios, J,
for the lrrgest trout caugh, this sea-
son.
This almost doubles the weight of
any previous one caught, and will
probably capture the prize.
