Making 8 Gunstook.

A party of men were out hunting, and an old woodsman who was with them broke his gunstock in some way or other. It was just about nightfall when the accident occurred, and inas. much as he was very anxious to do some shooting early the next morning he decided to fix up his shooting iron. Finding a walnut fence rail, he set to work. His only tools were an ax and a big pocket knife. All night long he lubored vigorously at his task, and by morning the gunstock was finished and back in place and worked like a charm.
 How did you do itl" asked one of the number, greatly surprised
 "Very easy" was this old hunters reply. No trouble at all Just get a piece of wood about the size and kind that you want and then whittle away all that you want whittled away. When you have all the wood cut off that you don't want you have gun stock. .'-Kansas City Journal

A Good Sleeper.

Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIII. When he was minister of foreign affairs courier came to him one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of 1t to the king till next morning. when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his :najesty's sleep. The xfng replied: Nothing disturbs my sleep, as you may see from this in. stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brothers death. The courier who brought this dreadful uews arrived at 8 o'clock in the even ing.

Tho FiIlai Chinaman.

Many examples of Chinese ilial piety strike the occidental reader as ridicu- lous There is the famous story Of Lao Laitsu, which Mr. l.. |. johnston repeats in his Lion and Dragon h Northern China" Laos parents lived to such extreme old age that he was himself q toothless old man while they were both still alive. "Conceiv- ing it his duty to divert their atten tion from their weight of years and approaching end, he dressed himself up i'll the clothes of q child and played about In his parents presence with the object of making them think they were still a young married couple con :emplatine the innocent gambols oi their Infant son.
 X similar ease is that of Wang P'Gn. whose mother had an unconqueraDle dread of thunder and lightning. When she died she was buried In mountain forest. and thereafter, when violent thunderstorm occurred. Wang P'ou, needless of the wind and rain, would hurry to her grave and throw himself to his knees. T am here to protect you, dear mother" he would say DO not be afraid"

His Flowing Sleeves.
 Every one who knows American poetry is familiar with Bret Harte's "Heathen Chinee," written in the ear " seventies at the time when the feel iug on the Pacific coast ran high against the mild eyed Celestial and voicing that feeling by portraying the hero, if such term may be applied to All Sin. as crafty card cheating villain who outwits the sharps of the California mining camps.
 IL is not generally known, however. that the poem is unique ill that it contains an error which the author tailed to detect when reading the gal. .ey proofs and which survived and still survives all attempts at correc- ton. Perhaps 1t is the only instance in literature where q grossly patent e:;or in the copy reading of an after ward famous article, whether prose or poem, has persisted through nu- merous editions despite all efforts of author and editor to kill it.
 The poem was written while Bret Iarte was employed on a San Fran cisco daily and, to him, was merely part of the days work. It tells of a CAinee, An Sin, who, with a smile that was childlike aud bland," sat in game of euchre with Truthful James a@d Bill Nye.
 artiess Chinese plays the winning card. which" says Truthful James, ,he narrator of the catastrophe, "the same Nye had dealt unto mel" Where upon Truthful and Nye proceed to go for that heathen Chinee." The damaging evidence disclosed by their rough and searching investigation is told as fellows in the poem as it was printed-and has been printed ever since the initial publications:
