Wall from the Stubble

In field not far from Morris,
where once roamed the dinosaurs
lived prairie chicken-last of all his
line. And his heart was filled with
trouble as he wandered through the
stubble grooming sadly of the days of
auld lang syne. "Oh, the white
mans gun spells sure annihilation,
and the ghosts of feathered thousands
line the track. Now he's talking
propagation and protective legisla-
tion, but he'll never bring the
prairie chicken back"
"Nothing left but just a name and
the record of the slain, when they
shopped us out by carloads to the east.
We were cheap as rabbits then but
now we're on the menu, WOW! 'Taint
the ordinary dinner-it's a feast.
So we're disappearing all along the
line to the requiem of the shotgun's s
awful crack. You can agitate and
legislate and set the world on fire,
but you'll never bring the prairie
chicken back" "

vanced in years he took deep inter
est in the daily dispatches from the
scenes of the present European con-
flict and had an abiding faith in the
ultimate victory of the Central Powers
The funeral was held Wednesday
morning with services at the Catholic
church in Wahpeton. Mr.. Rudnicki

FOOLING MARK TWAIN.
An Autograph Joke That Was Sprung
Upon the Humorist.

An Autograph Joke That Was Sprung
Upon the Humorist.
George W. Gable had been giving
readings from his wonderful Creole
stories and had visited Mark Twain in
Hartford. While there he had been
taken down with the mumps, and it
was during his convalescence that the
plan for a combined reading tour had
been made. This was early in the wear:
the tour was to begin in the autumn.
Gable, having quite recovered in the
meantime, conceived a plan to repay
Mark Twain's hospitality. It was to
be an April fool-a great compliment
tary joke. A few days before the first
Of the month he had private and
confidential" circular letter printed and
mailed it to 100 Of Mark Twain's
friends and admirers in Boston, New
York and elsewhere asking that they
send the humorist letter to arrive
April 1 requesting his autograph
It would seem that each one receiv.
Ing this letter must have responded to
it, for on the morning Of April / an i'm
mense, pile of letters was unloaded on
Mark Twain's table. He did not know
what to make of it, and Mrs. Clemens.
who was party to the joke, slyly watch
ed results. They were the most absurd
requests for autographs ever written.
He was fooled and mystified at first,
then. realizing the nature and magni
tude Of the joke, he entered into it fully
delighted Of course, for it was really
a fine compliment.
Some Of the letters asked for auto
graphs by the yard, some by the pound.
Some commanded him to sit down and
copy a few chapters from "The limo
cents Abroad" Others asked that his
autograph be attached to a check.
John Hay requested that he copy a
hymn, few hundred lines of Young's
might Thoughts" etc., and added:
II want my boy to form a taste for
serious and elevated poetry, and it will
add considerable commercial value to
have it in your handwriting"
Altogether the reading Of the letters
gave Mark Twain a delightful day
