Two Mems Memories.

1t is generally the unusual thing
which Is the easiest to remember
but 1t seldom happens that exactly
the same elements in any situation
are most unusual or most striking to
any two onlookers. A man who has
travelled many times up and down
the Mississippi stood on the levee at
Cape Girardeau, Mo-, one noontime,
waiting for the arrival Of down.
bound packet. Another prospective
passenger stepped up and accosted
him.
Pardon me, suh," he said. You
and / have met befo, but you do not
remember me-"
Doubtless If you will recall the cir
cumstance 1 shall do so," said the
other
well, sub, 1t was at Bahfield, Ak
kansas, one evening five yeahs ago"
"I remember Barfield and the even
ing perfectly" said the man accosted.
1T was a frightfully stormy night.
The mud at Barfield was deeper than
l had ever seen before. had moored
my boat at the bank in front of the
town. but the bank was so soft l
could not climb 1t. I Skinned up a
rope to the top, waded over my shoes
in mud to a store, bought some gro
ceries and returned to my cabin by
sliding down a lumber chute. My wife
cooked supper and we spent an even
ing reading aloud from Mark Twain's
Life on the Mississippi raft OF
logs broke loose and went down
stream. and as had no skiff to follow
them with, / shouted an alarm and
others went. The rain turned to snow
before morning, and the next morning,
which was Sunday the steamer Ferd
Herold came in from Memphis at day
break"
yes, suh," said the man who re-
membered him. Yes, sub, l reckon
all those things ah so. / do not re-
call them, howeveh. Bahfield Is al
ways muddy when Ii rains, the Ferd
Herold comes in every week, logs Of

fastened into my memory.

who, so fab as We could see. didn't

Humorous department.
Leaend of a Musket.

Mark Twain tells the following
story, related by a fellow passenger
who, being bantered about his tim
idity, said he had never been scared
since he loaded an old Queen Anne's
musket for his father once, where
upon he gives the following:
You see the old man was trying
to learn me to shoot blackbirds and
beasts that tore up the young corn
and such things, so 1 could be OF
some use about the farm, because l
wasn't big enough to do much. My
gun was a single-barrelled shotgun
and the old man carried an old
Queen Anne musket that weighed a
ton, made a report like a thunder
clap, and kicked like mule. The
old man wanted me to shoot the
musket sometimes, but l was afraid.
One day, though, l got her down and
so l took her to the hired man, ana
asked him how to load her, because
it was out in the field. Hiram"
said he, "do you see those marks on
the stock, an X and a V, on each
side of the Queens crown? WE'LL
that means ten balls and five slugs-
that's her load"
But how much POWDER
"Oh." says he, lit don't matter;
nut i'm three of four handfuls."
So l loaded her up that way, and
Il was an awful charge had sense
enough to see that, and started out.
I leyelled her on a good many black
birds; but every time 1 went to pull
the trigger 1 shut my eyes and wink
ed: l was afraid of her kick. To-
wards sundown fetched up at the
house, and there was the old man
resting on the porch.
Been out hunting, have ye?
Yes, sir" said !.
What did you kill?"
Didn't kill anything-didn't shoot
her off-was afraid she would kick,
Q knew blame we'll she would.'D
"Gimme that gum the old man
said. as mad as sin.
And he took aim at a sapling on
the other side of the road, and 1 be-
gan to drop back out of danger.
And the next moment l heard the
earthquake, and heard the Queen
Anne whirling end over end in the
air, and father spinned around on
one heel with one leg up and both
hands on hrs jaw, and the bark flying
from that old sapling like there was
a hail storm. The old mans should
er was sot back three inches and his
Jaw turned black and blue. and he
had to lay up for three days. Choi-
era nor nothing else can scare me
the way I was scared that time.

Dancing Master Richly Supported.
Prior to 1908, a French dancing
master, true to the instincts of his ma
ton, opened a music school In Craven
county, on the Santee. There he
taught the Indians to play the flute and
the hautboy. The savages were de-
lighted, and supported their teacher
with an extravaganza which enabled
him soon to amass a considerable for
tune.

HE KEPT HIS PRoMISE.-There lives
In Washington a physician who has
ten-year-old son. a boy of great spirit
but no over-abundance of strength
Last summer the boy secured his fath-
er's permission to join a camping
party, organized by boys in the neigh
borhood; but in the parting instruc-
tions there was one restrictions:
Now, my boy" said the father, Il
don't wish you to go out in your cous-
In Bob's canoe. He and those other
lads are quite used to the water. but
you are not, and you haven't as yet
learned to sit still anywhere. you'll
be with them but a short time, and
with the other amusemcnts you'll
have, you can afford to let the canoe
alone this visit, so that your mother
will not be worrying all the while
you're away"
The boy promptly gave the desired
promise. On his return he was most
enthusiastic with regard to the pleas
ures he had enjoyed.
Didn't mind not canoeing a bit
father" said he. THE only time they
used the canoe, anyway, was the last
day, to go over to the other shore
But / remembered my promise, and
/ wasn't going to break 1t at the last
minute. So l swan across.

WORTH THE MoNEY.-A story is told
in the Saturday Evening Post. that
is related by Timothy Woodruff, the
New York politician. He says that
an old man in business in a town
not far from Buffalo. recently discov-
cred one morning that his safe was
out of order, telegraphed to the ma
ker in Buffalo to send down an eX-
pert:
When the man arrived he discov-
cred that the vault which was an
old fashioned affair and locked with
a key, could not be opened. After a
hasty examination the expert took
piece of wire and began to dig ou,
a mass of dust and lint from the key
He then opened the safe as quickly as
one could desire. With a sickly smile
the old merchant meekly asked:
Whats the CHARGE"
twenty-five dollars" was the re-
ply.
Does anyone know you're in
town."
None save yourself"
Then here's fifty. You will dc
me a favor If you will get out Of town
by the first train. If anyone knew
that | had paid a man twenty-five
dollars to dig the dirt out Of a key
for me. I'd never do another dollars
worth of business in this part of the
state"

terrified him. Spying a hole in the
