WHEN MEARS WAS SATISFIED

OTTO MEARS IS --nown in Colorado as
~ the Pathfinder of the San Juan be-
cause of stage and toll roads he built through
the mountains. One of his stage lines was
over Marshall Pass. He was constantly CEN
surfing his drivers for being slow. The result
was that every man was anxious to get him
alone IN a stage and demonstrate that they
could go fast enough to please him.
One morning he waited at the summit of
Marshall Pass for the stage driven by Henry
Burns. reckless driver, to leave for the foot.
He was dressed in black suit that
nodded to him. and on his head a
silk hat, and his linen was spotlessly white.
He was the only passenger.
"I'll give him the ride of his life" remarked
Burns to the station men.
Four of the best horses on the line were
hooked up, Mears stepped into the stage with
a fresh cigar in his mouth, and Burns clam
bered on the box. He cracked his whip with
volley of curses, and the leaders nearly jumped
out of the harness. He sent the four down
the serpentine road in record time the stage
banging against the side of the mountain
grazing the edges of precipices, whirling around
sharp curves on two wheels, and bounding over
rocks with lars that raised the heavy vehicle
three feet and lunged it forward with a bump
that started every bolt and nail. The horses
were white with lather, but still Burns urged
them on
At the foot of the pass Burns pulled up his
foaming and well-nigh spent horses and Mears
climbed out His silk hat a battered
wreck. his clothes were torn in dozens of
places, and his hands and face were scratched
and bleeding for he had been tossed about
in the stage like pea in a can; but his cigar
still gripped in his teeth. He said
nothing, however, until the stage was driven
up to continue on its way, when he remarked
10 Burns:
"Henery, tink will ride on tie outside
NIT you. vas so lonesome inside l couldn't
keep awake"

FISHING FOR A LICENSE

A GOOD-NATURED German located in a
IA certain Pennsylvania town a few years
ago, and apparently had no definite business.
Every morning regularly he would go to the
creek that through the town and fish for
black bass. The first mess that he caught was
given to the minister of the village church
Some one, seeing the German on the bank,
said to him What are you doing9"
oh" he remarked, I'm fishing for a
license.
The following day six fine trout were de-
iivered at the home of the school-teacher.
The day after that the leading banker received
a fine supply of fish; and so it went for nearly
a year. He caught fish every day, and as
regularly turned them over to the leading
citizens.
When the spring term of court came
around, he put in an application for liquor
license. Under the rules of that court it
was necessary for twenty citizens to sign
a protest to kill an application for a
license. The protest was taken around; but
to the amazement of the messenger he could
get no signers The clergyman was much
opposed to the proposed license. but could
not find it in his heart to attach his name to
the paper. When the court announced its
decision, the German received a license, and
he blandly remarked:
I've been fishin' for a license. | got it."
