"Turning away, / asked the keeper the
young mans history.
"'Ah, sir, a sad case the keeper said.
| One year ago that there young man was
prosperous and renowned-the finest puz-
zle inventor and decipherer for miles
round. But last Christmas his girl gave
him a present made with her own hands,
and in tryin' to determine its name and
its use the poor fellow became what you
see.'"
1t was the desire to Guido the teller of
the tallest yarn which once led Mark
Twain to draw upon his Imagination for
the following story: Mark was dining
with a number of friends one day, and
asked them If they had ever heard of a
fast horse he used to own In Nevada.
The reply was In the negative.
well, gentlemen" continued Mark, as
he blew a smoke ring and watched 1t,
that was a fast horse. He was a very
fast horse. But he was SO tough-bitted
that l couldn't guide him with a bit at

How did you guide himg' someone
asked.
"Well, gentlemen, I had to guide him
with electricity. 1 had to have wire
line, and keep a battery in the wagon
all the time in order to stop him."
why didn't you stop him by hollering
'Whoaf"
"Stop him by hollering 'Whoal'" ex-
claimed Mark. "Why, I couldn't boiler
loud enough to make that horse hear
me. he travelled so fast that no sound
ever reached him from behind. He went
faster than the sound, sir. Holler Whoa

sound of your voice could reach the

he could. Why, 1 once started right in

storms we ever had on the Pacific coast.
Wind and rain? Why, the wind blew
eighty miles an hour, and the rain fell
in sheets, I drove right before the storm
for three hours-just on the edge of that
hurricane and rain for forty miles"

The judge himself sometimes

the yellow leaves the judge read
some ballads and some sonnets,
which sang of love of country.
