Pretty Crooked.

People who have seen cottonwood lumber warp when it came from the saw can appreciate a story about the first sawmill erected at Fort Scott. After the first days saving the owner of the mill came down from town, where he had been celebrating the "Opening" with the boys. He looked over the crooked boards scattered about the yard for moment and then inquired with drunken gravity:
 "Boysh hic), has that lumber been measured yet?"
 'Tt has not" replied the foreman of the mill.
 "Well, when it gets still, take a hic) corkscrew and measure It."

 It seems that our major dispatched a courier with message for our captain. For some reason or other the message was not delivered. The next day the captain called me out and in the pres ence of the whole company rebuked me for not delivering the message.
 'I did not receive any message" ventured.
 "Shut up your mouth, you liarw he thundered And again he believed, "Why didn't you deliver that message. you'-
 told him a second time that 1 had not received any message. The cap tain's temper broke all bounds. With an oath he rode his horse at me full tilt, hurling filthy names aft mo the while.
 When he had ridden right up to me fully expected he would run me over. but dared not mOve-hc suddenly reincd in his horse and, drawing q long dagger from his belt. shouted. livld with passion. "1 have half d mind to stick this through your vile body. you echweinhund"'
 Once more he asked me about thc message. and once more answered him.
 "Then five days confinement and bread and water be your punishment, you lar!' he retorted He repeated the question several times and increased my term of impris 0nment each time 1 answered in the negative until my term of imprison ment equaled fourteen days. I was placed under arrest. Next day I wa, released.

BIRTH OF A "GASSER."

In the Broadway Magazine is story |by Rupert Hughes concerning the oil wells of Texas. He tells of the birth of Ia "gasser."
 It screamed like the death cry of a Thousand panthers." He says: ''The |long steel cable has been sent flying |like a twine string. A great length of pipe has been hurled against d tree and wrapped around it. The derrick 0geyser of fine sand was streaming up ward and eating away the lofty crown block.
 Seth knew what it was. He found Tom, and they gesticulated at each other. They made faces. but no audi Ple sound. Their voices were vain as Eandles in the full sunlight. Each was rying to yell the same thing.
 "'She's gasser, blowing her head Pf.'
 "Men gathered from everywhere and (cted like crazy folk working their avs and delivering no message.
 'They were soaked, drowned, Ob- terated in sea of intolerable noise.
 "A mile away at the railroad station be passengers were equally made umb by the uproar. If man want d ticket he had to write out the anne of the station. An engine rolled with a bell that rocked without ound and a whistle emitting puffs of khNe steam that no one heard.
