ARTEmUs WARD's FUN.

LAUGHS In His Lectures.

How The Humorist utsd 80 Win
Laughs In His Lseturss.
However much the audience might
laugh, even to a tumult of merriment
lasting a minute or two or perhaps
longer, Artemus Ward stood with the
gravest mien and unmoved face. he
could not help laughing while writing
or planning good thing, but no NEGRO
mancer was ever more self poised
when he stood before his audience.
The greatest fun of the whole was
the manipulation of the panorama it
self. Things would go wrong every
now and then. and the audience would
fairly scream with laughter. supposin3
1t was a mistake, while as Il matter or
fact Artemus was. always at the bot
tom Of 1t all.
For instance, the prairie fire would
60 down at the wrong time and then
break out again when the scene 1t was
to illustrate had wholly passed. or the
sick looking moon would refuse to
stay down in the midst, while the lec-
turer was apparently almost overcome
with vexation and despair. Then the
wrong music would be played, and the
house would break out into roars OF
laughter as when he touched upon one
really pathetic recital and the piano
ground out Poor Mary Ann"
In the midst of really instructive
talk on the Mormon question or truly
impressive description Of the mountain
scenery around Salt lake he would
stop as If a sudden feeling Of distress
had come over him which must be ex-
planned, and, pointing to an absurd
animal in the foreground Of picture,
he would tell the audience how he had
always tried to keep faith with them,
but mistakes must sometimes occur.
Il have always spoken Of this animal
as buffalo and have always supposed
he was buffalo, but this morning my
artist came to me and said, Mr.. Ward,
l can conceal it from you no longer;
that is q hOrse!" The effect was sim
ply indescribable.
When quiet came again, he would
seemingly become wholly lost to ev-
erything around him as he described
some absorbing and thrilling incident,
turning it into ridicule the next minute
by the innocent and apparently merely.
Incidental remark, Il did not see this
myself, but I had it from a man just
as reliable as am."-Enoch knight In

Lion Walks Into Yakima.
NORTH YAKIMA, April 1O.-I

NORTH YAKIMA, April 1O.-Un-
concerned and without fear, noun
tain lion trotted along North Sixth
street Friday morning. The animal
was first noticed by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. L. Davis at $50 o'clock as it
passed their residence. The animal
walked along the side of the fence
for few yards and then jumped the
irrigation ditch and took to the
street. He then went toward the
hills.
Mrs. Davis said the animal was
quite large. It had a long tail and
a large head. Her attention was
called to the animal by her husband
and he told her it was a lion.
This is the first lion that has been
seen within the city limits for some
time. Some time ago an occasional
lion was seen near the river at the
end of Sixth street, but very seldom
did they enter the residence dis
trict.
There are usually no lions in the

Mine Preserved Bo.io..

A curious story illustrative of the
preservative properties OF carbOnic acid
gas. or choke damp comes from
China. In the province of Nganhwei
a party of miners opened an aaeient
Shaft where, according. to the official
records, terrible catastrophe had oc-
Cured 100 years ago. When the min
ers entered they came upon the bodies
of Lao miners who had perished in the
mine, lying where they had been over
taken by the deadly gas four CENTURIES
back. The corpses to the eye were as

to move them outside for burial they

The astronomer Lalande narrowly
escaped being made famous by dis
covery. He accidentally struck Nep-
tune with his glass on May 8, 1856, but
supposed 1t was star. He put it down
IN his notebook as a star and recorded
its exact situation. Two days later he
struck it once more and made a record
OF it. But when he looked over his
notes he found he had 1t down as BE-
ing in two different places, and az q

he supposed he had made mistake In
one of his notes. If he had used his
mind a little less mechanically, he cas-
ily might have been a Columbus.

MAY STOP IRRIGATION WORK
Reclamation Service Seriously Handi-

WASHINGTON, April 10.-The de-
velopment boom in the far west is
giving the reclamation service a good
deal of concern at the present time.
With every part of the intermoun-
tain country enjoying remarkable
building boom, the government finds
itself seriously handicapped by it's
inability to secure reasonable bids
for constructing it's big irrigation

loaded up with railroad work, which

tive court decision may be obtained:
that so-called drift" fences must be
held to be illegal under section 8 OF
the act of 1885. unless they are upon
valid claims or patented lands: that

THE department of justice will
act promptly and vigorously to prose-

when definite complaint is made to a
United States district attorney, and
you are directed to take steps for
the immediate prosecution of violat-
ors of that act whenever violations
are discovered or through direct in

Persons injured by illegal fences
should make complaint to officers Of
the department of justice OF the

1T is to be regretted that no dis
erection is given the government to
permit the continuance of fences
that are clearly for the benefit Of all
interests. Undoubtedly some hard
ships, and loss of property, especially
to the small stock owner and the
homemaker, will follow the enforce
ment of this law, but so long as it is
on the statute books it must be en-
forced without considering the rea-
sons which led to any violation.

eminent Land.
In answer to many inquiries made
by homesteaders in Yakima and near
by counties, 2. Y. Colman received
from Washington a statement as to
the governments attitude in the mat
ter of building fences on federal
land. The decision of Secretary OF
the Interior James r. Garfield to
enforce the law prohibiting the main
tenance of fences on government
land will mean that thousands OF
feet of rail and barb wire fences will
have to be torn down in this county.
Following is the letter received
from the secretary:
ION January 8, 1907, the secretary
of the interior issued an order relat-
ing to unlawful fences, enclosures,
and Instructions on the public lands.
and further defining the duties OF
special agents, under the law of Feb
ruary %, 1885, entitled "An Act to
prevent unlawful occupancy of the
federal lands"
1.-The attention of congress at the
last session was caleld to the desir-
ability of modifying the law in the
interests of the conservatism and best
use of the public range, and the pro-
lection of settlers, homemakers, and
the grazing interests generally, but
no action was taken. 1t is, therefore,
necessary for me to advise you that
the law remains in full force and eff
feet, and that persons who maintain
illegal fences will be liable to prose-
cution.
You will instruct your local
agents that the making of gaps or
maintenance of gateways in illegal
fences upon the public domain will
not relieve from liability under the
act; but that leaving fence posts
standing after the wire has been re-
moved will not be considered a vio-
lation of the act; that when, on valid
claims or patented lands, fences are
maintained which cut off access to
public lands, prosecutions should be
brought in order that an authorita-
