Romance of a
 Toy Pistol
By WILLARD BRAKEMAN

During the ante-civillEatlon period, when western manners were not so polished as they are now, a man dress cd in checkerboard suit, a derby hat and patent leather shoes entered a gambling den in Nevada and stood looking over a small game of poker. Not finding 1t especially interesting, he sauntered up to the bar and called for a cigar.
 Now, the apparel of the citizens of the town consisted of a sombrero, a flannel shirt, trousers held up by a cartridge belt, to which were slung usu. ally two revolvers, and cowhide boots, No such costume as that worn by the man in the checkerboard suit had ever been seen In that region. In the east, taking together the pattern of his clothes and a clean shaven face, he would have been set down at once as an actor; In the west where theatri- calls at that time were unknown, the gentleman was puzzle. Two men who were drinking together at the oth. CT end of the bar began to sit up and take notice of the stranger.
 What do you think 1t Is, JlmT said one
 "Dunno. Pete. Reckon its one Q them babOons they hev in dime mu- seums In St Louis or Kansas City dressed up fancy"
 Reckon we'd better find out"
 The curiosity at that moment had ut his cigar and was turning away. Pete accoSted him:
 "See here. stranger, what kind of a game do they play on you, anyway
 "Checkers," said the smoker lmper- turbably.
 "Reckon v hey to lay down, don't y'T'
 "Oh. yes; I always lie down and let 'em play on my back. It's rather tire some. though. have to lie quiet or spill the checkers and knock the game into pL"
 Jesse. Do you carry a weepon un- der your coattailsT
 "Oh, yes. Why do you ask"
 ''Wen. I was thinllin' when v hey nothln' to do V might take or yer coat hang 1t up and see how many O them squares y kin plunk. Lemme see yer gun"
 The stranger put his hand under his coat. pulled out n revolver of diminu- tive size and handed lt to the man Pete-who was firing the questions at him, for examination. Pete took It. laid it in the palm Of his hand and seemed very much amused.
 "Cunnln', Isn't itg" he said. Whats it forT'
 "weIl, in Kansas City, where | come from, there's several of us wear this kind of suits, and we all carry pistols Ike this Whenever we meet on the street we try to see who can put the most bullets in the little squares worn by the other fellow"
 Pete cooked and uncocked the pistol several times, evidently much pleased with 1t, then, raising 1t, pulled the trig ger and the cigar flew out of the check erboard mans mouth. The shot at, tracted the attention of almost every one in the place, who looked up to see who had been killed. They saw noth- ing more warlike than the stranger calling for another cigar, lighting 1t and pufRng away like a ferrybOat
 Tt shoots all right" said Pete, and in moment there was another shot, and the second cigar spun around in the air and fell on the floor somewhat shattered.
 ',Now that you see how 1t shoots ! wouldn't do that any more" said the checkerboard man. Ut Isn't worth while" He called for a third cigar and while lighting it added: If you're bound to try 1t another time better do

How the Salmon Lsaps.

Scientists as well as laymen tell ex-
traordinary stories OF the wonderful
leaps whereby salmon ascend water
falls. One Investigator who has stud
led the salmon OF southeastern Alaska
asserts that these fish do not select a
particular point Of attack In endeavor-
ing to surmount a fall. They show a
remarkable lack OF accuracy as well AZ
OF denniteness In their movement.
When trying to ascend fall they sail
through the air, with the body rigid
and the fms spread and held tense, and
at the instant when the momentum Of
the jump is lost they impart Il rapid
and powerful vibration to the tail.
This occurs whether the jump is sue
cessful or not Should the fish reach
water at the top Of the fall this mo
ton insures the maintenance OF its po-
sitlon. In open water they jump side
wise instead Of lengthwise and there
u no movement OF the wallpapers.

out that one divided by two is half

When you tell him that the answer Is
two he VIII either accept the assertion
without understanding 1t or will dis
pute It tooth and nail II you attempt
TO convince him Of his error you will

mistake arises through the confound
ing OF two distinct ideas-namely. one
divided into two and one divided by
two. One divided Into two is one d.
vided into two parts. each part con
timing a half. One divided by two Is
the ratio Of one to two or the number
