"REMINISCENCES OF CUTTER

sPoet Lariat" of 'Tnnocents Abroad, 2
 Who Wrote Rhymes.
 As the original of the Poet Lariat" af Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad" the late Bloodgood II. Cutter, the low able old Farmer Poet of Long Is- land," was placed among the i'm mortaA years ago. says the New York Sun. His other claim to fame is the collection of verses he has written for many years, doggerel fired at any object in sight at the drop of the hat and read with amusement all over the country. Also there was romance in his life. but that happened so long ago that few are left to tell of it.
 A famous traveller and friend of monarchs, he had filled the old Cutter home at Douglaston with interesting mementoes of his wanderings. There, too, was collection of one horse shays and other vehicles that antedated the civil war by many years. and 1t was amid these old relics of early days that the farmer consciously or unconscious iy added to the gayety of things by sending forth his verses.
 Pens and ink were not necessary to the poet. Even in the white heat of anger he would stop to saddle Pegasus. Only those who knew his thriftiness and frugality can appreciate his anger when be once discovered several small boys stealing the, Incompatible Cutter apples. Nevertheless, in the middle of his wrath over the theft he did not for get his gift of poesy. but tlsindered forth from the orchard fence these memorable lines, of which he wns not the author:
 He who takes what is not his'n
 Surely shall be sent to prison.
 Disaster did not daunt him. On one occasion the horse he was driving along Q Long Island road grew skittish. The ramshackle blackboard was too debili- tated to stand the strain to which it was being subjected. ard just as Mfr. Cutter was passing a field In which were working two German farm hands the carriage broke down with a crash. From amid the wreckage of the old blackboard the poet sang to the Ger mans:
 Here. ye lovers of sauerkraut.
 Come here quick and help mo out
 When Mir. Cutter accompanied the famous Innocents abroad he amused the travellers during the journey by reading nightly epics on anything that had happened since the last effusion. from peeling potatoes to . storm at sea. Twain offers this sample of the poet at his best:
 savs us and sanctify us and finally then See good provisions we enjoy while we
 journey to Jerusalem
 For 60 man proposes. which it fs most
 true.
 And tine win wait for none. nor for us
 too.
 This Is one of the few examples of the poets verse in which the verbs arc not preceded by the word ''did.- He wrote thirty stanzas about Mrs. Mac kay's election to the Roslyn school boeri. He wrote 100 separate poems On the subject of George washington's coach, which he owned.

her name and address for a large con sideration. But Cupid took care of the artist. and he scaped with his well filled wallet.
 It was late in August when one day Rogers and Scott, the Philadelphia lawyers, came galloping across country some forty miles from Wolf, Wyo. They saw lonely figure sitting on . rock. With wild yell intended to scare the man they rode directly at him and pulled their horses back on their haunches. but the man did not scare. He merely looked up with tired expression upon his black beard ed face.
 Recognizing him as gentleman, tho young men apologi1ed They talked with him for couple of hours, and then he made himself known as Jules Dupree and showed them the picture.
 That girl" said Rogers after ciose scrutiny of the snapshot, Ifs Miss Con. stance Leaning or her double! She lives over the border line here-a good gallop-in Wyoming" A
 They were then in Montana. Dupree Dxcitedly jumped to his feet and im- plored his acquaintances to get him . horse. to take him at once to the girl's home.
 T got pony for him." said RogerA telling the story at his home the other day. And you never saw man ride as he did. He had Paul Revere and those chaps beaten Q mile. He waa wild, and he never quit beating that horse for hours. We got to the Leam- ing place. and therc stood Miss Con. stance in the doorway wondering what this galloping cavalcade wanted.
 We presented Dupree and then went away. What he said or what she sald I don't know. But the girl did not rec ognize him. She had not noticed him in Paris and was absolutely Ignorant of his worldwide chase.
 Anyhow. in a couple of days it was ull fixed up. Dupree presented his crs deutials to old man Leaning. who is . typical westerner and had to bs shown And the old man was not any too eager to let his daughter 60. But the romance of the thing caught tho girl in a second, and Dupree proved himself to be Q mighty good fellow b every way, and co finally Dad Len Ing consented to marriage, and thGto was . quiet ceremony performed, I - derstand, few weeks ago.
 Before we got away Dupree wanto0 to embrace Scott and me in the Ffsnch fashion. but we side stepped and leo him shake hands instead. He faiFiy cried with gratitude laughed at hI1 story when he was here last sumneEs but he certainly seems to have woo out, and 1 think he deserves to.
 "The Leaminss have q pile of mour. ey. but 90 has he. believe. 70 the mass raage is different from the usual intu. national affair I wish them boeA an sorts of luck"
 Mfr. Rogers and Mir. Scot said that they understood an elaborate weddlnG, according to the French custom. woul6 be celebrated as soon as ths hap1Es young people arrive in Paris.

< Inat6 great paper Ox youTS, said Attorney Cassidy to-day.
 Why do you think so?''
 Well, had an experience last evening that convinces me that ev- erybody reads the Democrat. I put a little For Rent 'ad' in the Demo- crat and to see the people crowding in here on me one would think something was up." Here meant MT. Cassidy's office. T had no idea I would have so many people call to see me about it. did think that in the course of few days half dozen perhaps would call, but there was quite an avalanche of them. 1 have put For Rent ads in many papers from time to time. but the number of answers to the one I put in the Democrat the evening of the same day 1t was published surprised me. You must have quite number of readers"

Enormous Riches Yielded BY Peru.

Peru is a vast treasure-house. Its
mineral deposits are perhaps unsur-
passed in all the world. The gold, sill
yer and precious stones which were
carried away as loot by the conquis-
tadores enabled all Spain to live in
luxury for centuries. Nowhere in all
the world was so large value of port
able booty ever captured. And never
did any community grow so rich with
so little labor. From 1880 to 1924 the
Jesuit priests took y tons of pure sill
yer out of single valley, while other
mines yielded hundreds of millions of
dollars, even with the primitive sys-
TEN employed by the monks and the
native Indians. But for nearly half
century or more Peru went backward
and became so poor that her richest
citizens were compelled to live on the
pawnships. But that period has, hap
PLY passed, and with permanent peace
the country has slowly recovered its
prosperity, and today enterprises are
formed for digging the treasure of the
mountains and securing the cultiva-
ton of the valleys, which are exceed
ingly fertile and produce all of the
staples known to the tropical and tenn
perate zones. Down in the hot low
lands along the coast cotton and sugar
are grown and in the mountains wheat,
corn and barley.-Southwestern Miner.
