A Very large Mine.

There was once in Cripple Creek an
odd character named Burns. He was
an odd person who always. no mat
ter what his work, wore what used to
be called Prince Albert" He struck
rich vein OF ore and named that the
Prince Albert. Being of a generous
and convivial disposition. this lucky
fellow was. of course, surrounded by
many self seeking friends. When he
and they were in their cups some Of
them, with an eye to the main chance,
managed to wheedle out Of Burns Oh
one pretext or another deed Of a
share in his mine. With royal prodi-
gality he scattered deeds about among
his retainers and camp followers I'M
til finally something had to be done.
and the case was taken into court
One of the lawyers had Burns on the
stand. "Now, Mr. Burns" said the
lawyer. Twill you please tell the court
how you can explain your conduct?
The evidence shows that you have
decided away Twenty-Five twenty
fourths'of your mine. What have you
to say to that?" well. sir" replied
the witness. you must remember, sir.
that the Prince Albert is very large
mine"

A Great Trade Secret,

As every one knows, the process OF
manufacturing the paper of which
Bank of England notes are made is
one of the greatest of all trade secrets.
1t is known only to the governor of
the Bank of England and to three 9th
er persons intimately connected with
the industry. which is carried on at
Overton, a quiet little village in Hants.
All that the outside world is allowed
to know concerning this precious pa
per is that it is made. among other in
gradients, out of charred husks and
Rhenish vines.
Quite as profound a secret is the
manufacture OF both the paper and
the ink used for American banknotes.
The former has the double advantage
Of not being a secret preparation. but
one that only takes one particular
kind of ink. which is quite unique, the
American government paying the man
ufacturer. who alone possesses the Sc
cret, the sum of $4,000 year for
making it.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Cleanup.

The three amateur sharpers smiled.
They thought they had found AIN
easy mark. He was we'll dressed and
grossly inebriated. And he bore a
tight roll of bills that looked like a
bologna sausage.
"Boys," he thickly said, ''I'm goin'
to shend thish wad of shtuff to tn
gov'ment laundry an have it dry
cleaned. It's sho fearful dirty. May
be one of you gents would kindly shee
it's Addressed to proper place."
"Why. yes" replied the gang. well
take care of it.
Thanks" replied the victim. "An'
now l mush ashk you to femme have
a few clean bills for emergensish.
don't you know"
So they searched themselves and
gave him a new twenty and ten and
a five. Then. taking the soiled wad.
they hurried away.
Two days later the three clever ones
were arrested for having counterfeit
money in their possession.
But the guileless inebriate was seen
no more.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Long and Short Story Writers.


Which are the great short stories of
the English language? Not bad
basis for a debate! This | am sure of
that there are far fewer supremely
good short stories than there are su.
premely good long books. 1t takes
more exquisite skill to carve the
cameo than the statue. '' But the
strangest thing is that the two excel
lences seem to be separate and even
antagonistic. Skill in the one by no
means insures skill in the other. The
great masters of our literature, Field
ing. Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and
Reade, have left no single short story
of outstanding merit behind them,
with the possible exception of Wan
dering Willies tale in Red Gauntlet"
On the other hand. men who have
been very great in the short story,
Stevenson, Poe and Bret Harte, have
written no great book. The champion
Splinter is seldom five miller as we'll.
Poe is the master Of ALL Poe is, to
my mind, the supreme original short
story writer of all time.-Conan Doyle

A Good Bluff.

he was young and had just >gradu-
ated from law school. His resources
were exhausted, but he bravely swung
forth his shingle and waited. But nc
clients stopped on that side OF the
street. His office rent was due, and
his clothes were becoming shiny, but
he went to his Office with regularity
that would indicate a thriving prac-
tice. He was deep in an imaginary
case. and when the authorities were
all noted and arguments prepared he
started forth downtown and thrashed
the MAYORS son. whom he met in the
street. The act aroused the righteous
indignation Of the townsmen, and he
faced an angry court. But in his tes-
timony he was able to include sharp
attack on the mayor and his admins
tration. He quoted law from Lycur-
gus and Scion and gave them the
page, number and chapter every time.
The case was continued and sent up
to a higher court. At last it reached
the supreme bench, and the young
man made the most of his opportunity
to show his ability as a lawyer. He
lost the case and paid his fine cheer
fully. for he had established for him.

ture.-.Joe Mitchell Chapple in National

4 Persistent Yankee.

TO illustrate Yankee persistency a
Wall street magnate told the following
story the other day: HI
"A new England Yankee who was a
prisoner on a pirate ship in the good
old days when pirates roamed the seas
became, because Of his Yankee attri-
butes, objectionable to his captors. It
was finally decided to maroon him on
desert island with but little food
and q coffin to remind .him of his in
evitable fate. The island was found.
and the New Highlander and the coffin
were left alone on the beach, while the
pirate ship sailed away. For several
days she sailed and then became be-
Gained. For three days she lay there
with not breath of air. On the even
ing of the; third day a black speck was
noticed on the horizon. 1t steadily
grew larger and soon was close enough
for the men on the ship to make out
what it was"
The man of millions paused for an
instant and then said, smiling, 1T was
the Yankee in his coffin, with half of
the lid in either. hand rowing for
home."-Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
0ne.

Yosemite Versus Grand Canvon.

Yosemite for home or a camp, the
Grand canyon for spectacle. saw
a robin in Yosemite valley: Think
how forlorn and out of place a robin
would seem in the Grand canyon!
What would he do there? There is no
turf for him to inspect. and there are
no trees for him to perch on. would
as soon expect to- find him amid the
pyramids of Egypt or amid the ruins
of Karnak. The bluebird was there
also, and the water ouzel haunted the
lucid waters. The reader may create
for himself a good image of Yosemite
by thinking of a section of seven or
eight miles Of the Hudson river mid
way of its course as. empied of it's
waters and deepened 5000 feet or
more, having the sides nearly vertical,
with snow white waterfalls futtering
against them here and there, the ia
nous spires and domes planted along
the rim, and the landscape of groves
and glades, with it's still, clear, wind
ing river, occupying the bottom.-John
Burroughs in Century.

/. .Hoyt's Hospitality.


It was the habit Of Charles 81. Hoyt,
the dramatist. to invite almost every
body he met to come up and spend a
few weeks with him at his summer
home in New Hampshire.
One night Hoyt, Bert Dasher. w. IL.
Currie, Frank Mckee and several other
house guests of Hoyt were sitting on
the veranda of Hoyt's summer house
waiting for dinner. The train had just
arrived. and they saw an old farmer
and his wife coming up the path. II
"Who are they?' asked Hoyt. Il
never saw them before" .... =
"The dickens you didn't replied
Currie. THAT is that old chap and
his wife you talked to over at Spring
field and invited to visit you.'' ,
"Oh, WE'LL" said Hoyt. maybe they
are just coming in to dinner. They
will take the night train back.'
Then he looked again and saw the
hired man behind the farmer and his
wife wheeling a big trunk on a wheel
barrow.

are here for a run!''
And they stayed a month.-Cleve-
