Adventures at the Lake.

Last week we left the missing
links at the shore of a large Jake,
and woke up wishing We were a
Rip Van Wrinkle. But [ wasted
no time getting back to that lake
the next night. A lake shore is a
good place for missing links to
reside. Not that they take any
unnecessary baths, but for the>very.
good reason that there is a great
variety of food in such places.
White men are not particularly
fond of famingoes and storks as
food; but these birds are swell
dish for missing links. Besides,
they (the birds) are easy to catch,
as they come in flocks to defend
their young. have eaten all sorts
of impossible things in the land of
the missing link, but things must
be better there, than here, because
l never have a bad taste in my
mouth when I arrive at this hotel.
Say, had an awful fright when
[ got back to that lake. You see
it was morning there, when | ar
rived, and food was go plentiful
that we-that is, the other two
seemed in no hurrytto resume the
journey. Well, I didn't like the
idea Of staying in the same tree
indefinitely, SO | started on short
exploring tour of my.own. Unjust
have gone half mile when [
noticed that the Daring One was
following me. Then the terrible
thought struck me: This is leap
year. Can it be possible that that
bold missing link is leaping along
on my trail with the intention Of
perish the thought! 1t
wouldn't have given me such a
turn, but you see, thinking myself
safe from the Vaccinations of old
maids, one Of my new years reso-
lutions was to take the connubial
leap with the FIRST girl who pro-
posed it. But everything was
lovely; Nimrod was chasing his
sister with club, just for amuse-
ment, and she thought I would

eaid that wooden pass WAS the
emblematic name for break beam.
Pete WAS a good-natured sort Of u
fellow. He was an immune from
insult, and hurting epith+tical
bombs at him was like training a
boys bean shooter on the Fort of
Gibraltar.
The last paper that Pete read to
the circle was one on temperance.
In this paper he told us that among
other foolish things that he did
while under the influence of liquor
was to steal one hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars worth of
his wife's jewelry and pawning
them for a few paltry thousand.
He concluded by telling us that on
the day of his release he would
take the first train for Chicago, and
invited us all to call ON him in
that city. He said that he intended
to make Chicago his headquarters
and that he could be found in his
office or at the Palmer House. 1t
struck me at the time that it
person went to Chicago looking
for Pete he would be apt to find
him down at Finks.
When l shuttle off this mortal
coil and journey to that country
from where no traveller ever re-
turns, I will look up some of my
old political chums who have pro-
ceeded me, and have them get to
st. Peters ear aud use their pull
in an effort to have me appointed
official bouncer and assistant gate
keeper. There is no doubt but
what will succeed in landing the
job, and if any of my friends, in
Guiding the John Wlse's and Sem
aphore Pete's call and knock for
admittance while st. Peter is at
lunch, I will pass them in regard

fellows ever pokes his beak thru
the gates, I'll fan him, not with
my tipped angelic wings, but

crossed over and started back
towards the lake shore. While we
were eating lunch man of the
woods came up within short dis
lance of US, looked covetously ut
the Daring One, then sized me up
and retired. He must have thought
that she was my property. When
l inquired of Nimrod, why the
stranger did not attempt to become
possessed of the Daring Ones
heart and hand, he walked over
and stood back to back with me,
as much as to say, you are big
enough to eat half dozen such
jiggers every morning, for a lunch.
Now I knew why Nimrod showed
SO much respect for me. 1t wasn't
brains but Draw that he respected.
Which same isu't bad asset, to
this DAY.
During the past week we have
met several forest people. Some
times they were travelling alone,
but oftener there were from three
to a dozen. They generally looked
at us little while, gave us the
conventional greeting it they out
numbered us, and passed Oh. The
conventional greeting is to make
grimaces, shake you're fist in the
air and telepath 81 can lick you

One must go away from home
to learn the news. Llppincott's
prints a story of Cleveland law
yer who tells of a man living in
suburb of that city whose sleep
had been disturbed nightly BY the
bowling, on his back fence, of his
neighbours cat. At last, in despair,
he consulted his lawyer.
"There sits the cat every night
on our fence" explained the I'M
happy man, "and he yowls and
yowls and yowls. Now, / don't
want to have any trouble with this
neighbor, but the thing has gone
far enough, and | want you to sug-

The lawyer looked solemn and
said not word.
Il am we'll within my rights if I
shoot the cat, am | not?" asked the
sufferer.
Il would hardly say that re-
piled the legal light. "The cat
does not belong to you, as / under

my scientific essays before the
Chautauqus Circle-and give him

tific; tho as yet I haven't demon
strated my ability as zoographer,

/ had been following the lake
shore, and soon after the Daring
One and her brother overlook me,
we were confronted by large
river which emptied into the lake.
We saw lots Of fish, bat as we had
forgotten our fishing tackle, they
were of very little interest to as.
Our attention was soon attracted
to the chattering and shrieking of
a troop Of monkeys. They were
in large tree on the very edge of
the river and about a dozen of
them were hanging in chain from
a large branch directly over large
animal with proboscis like an ele-
plant, with two tusks descending
from it's lower jaw. The dino
therium, the largest terrestrial
mammal which ever lived. While
we were watching them, one monk
scrambled down the living chain
and gave the monster dig in the
eye, the dino quickly caught him
with his trunk, and tossed him out
into the water. just then croco-
die came to the surface and Mr..
Monk was down in the mouth.
That spoilt all the fun, SO we
started up the river. This was not
the same river we 'came down."
That day we overlook the Wahoo
family and the Daring Ones father
and brother, looking for place to
Cross the river. The Daring Ones.
father was badly bruised and cut
in many places, and one eye was
swollen shut. He explained that
he had met y man of the woods
that morning who decided that his
wife was his affinity and promptly
proceeded to take her away from
him. He felt worse over his
bruises than the loss of his mate.
i guess he was used to loosing his
mates, anyway. He informed me
that any one of the five strapping
girls of the Wahoo family would
make good pal and he was going
to capture one of them as soon as
his eye got we'll.
The next day we (the Daring
One, Nimrod and myself) left the
crowd and proceeded up the river.
We found place where we could

cruits for this circle, our re-
firing president IN his annual
report, among other things said:
sThe,e are men in this institution
who would be valuable additions
to our circle, but for some reasons
as yet unknown cannot be per-
soaded to apply for membership.
Either they feel TOO superior tothe
general run Of members or they
lack the energy necessary to write
the papers which We believe they
are capable of writing
The above quotation from the
presidents report is what suggest
ed this paper, as it recalls to my
mind an incident that took place
several years ago. In selecting
men it has always been the aim OF
eyery man who has swung the
official gavel over this circle to
look up and obtain the best ma
terial that our local market affords.
A number of years ago man
arrived at this institution whose
position on the outside lead the
president to believe that he would
make valuable acquisition to our
circle, 80 accordingly he paid him
a visit and the following CONVERSE
ton between the two took place:
"Mr. Blank, 1 am the president OF
a local literary society, the object
of which is to improves the mind
and clear away the clouds OF mon
otony that generally hangs over
the world of confinement. 1t

have you join US, and with your
permission l will enroll you as

The president did not wait to
hear any more because he knew he
was up against gold brick. When
this, Lam better. than-thou-art fell

that the head of the Mormon
Church might envy. His wife,
who, with the sheriff, accompanied
him on his journey here, asked for
and was granted permission to see
her husband (she called him papa
after he was arrayed in prison garb.
Now the first thing that papa lost
after breaking in here was his dig

close second.
He tried to convince the captain
of the dollhouse that his presence
here was all mistake, and that
his stay would be only a day or
two at the most. In fact he put
up all eloquent plea in an effort to
save his beloved whiskers from the
grim reaper that our tonsorial
artist held in his hand.
The two placid little streamlets
