It Convinced One Man That tho Editor

Every now and then magazine edi-
tors come across an attempted liter
airy steal" but a Munsey editor had a
few unique touches put upon such an
experience the other day. He had
gone about reading submitted story
written out in longhand and had not
got far before he began to recognize
Cherokee Sal. Stumpy. Oakhurst and
other familiar friends from Bret
Harte's Luck Of Roaring Camp"
He called the whole staff, and they
decided that the best way to treat the
contributor. who had asked for a
speedy decision" was sarcastically
So the editor wrote:
My Dear Strive should be very glad
to use this splendid story, but unfortu-
nately Bret Harte had it copyrighted when
he first wrote it. and his publishers, who
now own the copyright. would object we
fear, to your receiving money for 1t.
Not long afterward the man from
Memphis wrote in reply:
Dear MT EOltOr--l nave looked that
matter up. and find that the story was
first wrote in 1856. and the copyright has
run out. and you have a perfect right to
pay me for it. and hope to receive check
by return mail
This made the editor little hot un-
der the collar. but he resolved to be
patient and go further with the sar-
casm. So he wrote:
My Dear Strive are very glad to hear
that the copyright on 1.-The Luck of Roar
ing Camp has expired. How very care
less OF Bret! However I regret that il
seems still impossible to pay you for this
story, because l now recall that when

MEL PARROT
While Hunting Wolves Crippled Two
Large Ones, Found Den Eight
Young, Received Sixteen Dollars
Bounty.

Mr.. Mel Parrott took a stroll in
the country Friday afternoon last
some five or six miles in north
western direction and in the sec
tion of the county that has been in
tested with wolves for a number
of years. In hunting for signs he
ran across one that led him to a
den containing eight youngsters
that had not yet seen the light of
day Mr.. Parrott took shot at
two large ones hitting both, for
he saw them fall but the brush
was so thick and heavy that he
could not find them. Not having a
game sack with him he took off
his hat and loaded the eight into
it and carried them to the nearest
house where he obtained an old
sack with which he brought them
to town.
Saturday morning, after feeding
each one milk with a spoon, he
took them to Audubon where he
received $500 each for them, that
being the County bounty on young
wolves. The litter consisted ol
seven females and one male.
