KIT cARSON'S RIFLE.

1t is perhaps not known TO all the
world that the rifle of Kit Carson, the
great western hunter. scout and ex'
plorer, is carefully preserved and
may be seen by those who know its
Whereabouts. At the time of Kit Car
sons death, he left this rifle to
Montezuma Lodge, F. & A. NJ. of
Santa Fe, New Mexico, in whose
charge it has remained ever since, an
object of great interest and very
highly priced by all members of that
society. MonteZuma Lodge is one OF
the oldest organizations of that ma
ture west of the Missouri river. II
was organized so long ago as 1S49, al
which time the ancient town of Santa
Fe was just beginning to take in part
the color of the western bound Anglo
Saxon civilization. Fremonts first
trip to the Rocky mountains was made
in 1912 There were few white men in
all that part of the west at the time
of the founding of Montezuma Lodge
but Kit Carson was one of these early
members. To his brothers of the SO
ciety he left what may have been one
of his most cherished possessions

The Kaiser's Wonderful Clock.

More than a year ago, when Ger
many began to make preparations for
the st. Louis Exposition, the Kaiser
gave orders that the German house at
the exposition should be ornamented
with large clock which would rival
if not excel the wonderful work Of art
made by Cassieri, which may be seen
by visitors to Versailles. His majesty
called together a committee with
Prof. Otto Rohloff at its head and sew
eral times he met the members of the
committee and expounded to them his
views as to how the clock should be
made. placing before them numerous
drawings by his own hand. The clock
is built in chaste baroque style and is
made of fire-gilded bronze 1t rests
in a socket of green Greek marble.
From the center of the four feet sup
porting it rises a knotty German oak
with a dragon at its roots.
The tree grows higher, and its up
per branches is an eagles nest, the
eagle and its brood staring at the ris-
ing sun. This represents morning.
On another branch are two owls as
symbols of night. Joining the four feet
is an imperial crown with the initials
''W. H." On the colored glass forming
the doors of the body of the clock are
depicted little cupids swimming about
the clouds

MEDILL's FORGERY.
Story of the Former Editor of CHICAGO
Tribune

A Characteristic story of the late Jo-
seph Medill, editor and millionaire ow-
ner of the Chicago Tribune, is related
by Frederick Upham Adams, author
OF John Burt" and of other novels,
who is now writing the series of in
structive articles for the Sunday
Times on How Cities are Governed
IN Great Britain. In his later years
Mr.. Medill was slightly deaf and in
clined to be absent-minded On one
occasion he assigned Mr.. Adams. then
reporter for the Tribune, 10 an ex-
tended and important journey in the
interests of the paper The prospec-
tive Duties were such that it would be
impossible to draw on the home office
for money, and it was arranged that
Mr.. Adams should take with him ST.
coo in cash.
After discussing the project with
much earneStness for an hour or more
with his employee, Mr. Medill reached
for his check book and began to draw
check for the amount agreed upon
He wrote the date line and then laid
aside his pen and resumed an elabora-
ton of the details of the plan, which
was one of many of his pet hobbies.
Then he wrote the name and the
amount, and once more took up the
thread of suggestions and instrrc-
tons. Having apparently exhausted
the subject he signed the slip of pa
per and handed it to Mr.. Adams.
1.-The banks are closed and you
need the money so that you can start
tonight" he said, adjusting his ear
trumpet. " Take the check down to
my cashier and he will cash it for
you. My credit is quite good on this
paper
With grim smile at his jest, Mr..
Medill turned to his work. Mr.. Adams
presented the check to the cashier.
who examined it closely, and then re-
turned it.
Il know of no such person, and can
not cash that check" he said
1T is Mr.. Medill's personal check
and must have the money tonight, y
declared the surprised newspaper
man.
you'll have trouble raising money
on that check" returned the other.
Take a look at it."
Mr.. Adams glanced at the amount
and then at the signature The for
mer was accurate but the signature
read Joseph Adams" A few mo-
ments later he again stood by Mr. Me-
dill's desk.
What's the matter now" asked
the great editor. Hasn't he that
much cash on hand?"
HE says the check is of no value. .
said Mr. Adams. 'He refused 10
cash it."
Won't cash my check" exclaimed
Mr. Medill in amazement LET me
see it,
He adjusted his glasses and studied
the little piece of paper for a moment

SENATOR QUAY'S WAY.

Made an Undesired Visitor Read a
Poker Story and Then Got Rid of Him.
Last winter a man went all the way
from Pittsburg to Washington to see
Senator Quay, about politics and to
learn his views regarding the situation
in Allegheny county. He went to
Quay's house, accompanied by a
friend. They were shown into the
library, where Quay sat reading a
book.
What are you going to do about
Allegheny county?" said the visitor.
Quay looked up from his book ana
said blandly:
These are the best poker stories
| ever saw. Have you read them?''
The visitor did not remember hav.
ing done so.
We'll, read this one" said Quay.
He held the book before the eyes OF
the astonished man and watched him
cosely as he started at the beginning.
Pretty soon the visitor skipped from
one page to another.
Don't do that" said Quay. "The
story is well worth reading, and il
you skip any part of it you lose some
of the best points
The reading continued, and the
senator kept his eyes glued on the
others face. Every now and then the
reader attempted to skip whole para
graphs, but Quay caught him each
time and reproved him gently. 1t
was due to the author as well as to
the merit of the story that every woro
of it be read, he insisted
The reader under the circumstances
could not have told whether he was
reading English or Sanscrit, or
whether the story was about poker or
the latest achievement of Japanese
civilization. But Quay kept him at
his task until it was finished. Then,
with a geat assumption of cordiality,
Quay declared the story one of the
best he had ever read, shook hands
with both his visitors, and bowed them
out.
His chief caller had not got beyond
his first question. The second man
had not opened his mouth, and they
left with full appreciation of the
fact that they had been the victims
of QUay's sardonic humor, and that
the senator himself had probably en-
joyed their discontinue immensely
