Told Who he Wae.

The game warden of Colorado was walking out in the mountains on one occasion when he met hunter with his gun. The official suggested that that ought to be good country for hunting. "It certainly 1s," said the hunter proudly. "I killed one of the finest bucks yesterday ever saw. and he weighed over two hundred" It was the season when deer may not be shot without subjecting the hunter to a heavy fine. Well, that is a fine one,'l said the warden, land do you know who you are talking to?" Being assur- ed that he did not, the official said, "Why, am the chief game warden Of Colorado" The hunter was only taken aback for a moment, when he asked. And do you know who you are talk ing to?' The warden didn't know.
 Well, sir," said the hunter, appar- ently much relieved, "you are talking to the biggest liar in the whole state of Colorado. o."-Kansas City Star.

as 1t was debated, but there was objec-

George Eastman on Way Home
from Denver Lost His Roll

ST. LOUIS, MO, January 1o.-George
Eastman, OF Basham. Va. reported to the
police at Union Station to-day that he
had been robbed OF $3.50 just as the train
upon which he had come to st. Louis
was leaving Kansas City. Tho money
was stolen from his overcoat by n pick
pocket Eastman says he saw two men
jostle him just as he entered the car, but
thought nothing of the incident. The men
had boarded the train when he did. When
he saw ono OF the men jump from the
train his suspicion was aroused, and he
looked for his money in vain. Eastman
has been in the mining business at Den
Yer, and was en- route to his home In
Virginia. He thinks the pickpocket saw
take the roll from his pocket to buy
his ticket.
