powerfully. Nevertheless l judged at

determination in that respect. l had
been on too many log drives to fear
personal encounter. And certainly
Talbot Ward seemed to show nothing
but eager interest.
You don't show up for what you
are in your Clothes" said he. This is
going to be more fun than l had
thought"
My roommates perched on the table
and the mantelpiece out Of the way. I
asked the length of the rounds.
"Rounds!" echoed Talbot Ward, with
a fash of teeth beneath his little mus
tache. did you ever hear of rounds
in a real fght?''

Mark Twaia's Visitor Whe. the HUI
moriat Was Absentminded.
Observation-Disclosures was characteristic
of Mark Twain. He lived so much in
the world within that to him the mate
rial outer world was often vague and
shadoWy.
Once when he was knocking the
balls about in the billiard room
George, the colOred butler q faTOrite
and privileged household character,
brought up card. SO many canvass
erS came to sell him one thing and an
other that Clemens promptly assumed
this to be one of them. George insist
ed mildly, but firmly, that though a
stranger the caller was certainly q
gentleman, and Clemens grumblingly
descended the stairs.
AS he entered the parlor the caller
rose and extended his hand. Clemens
took it rather Imply, for he had no.
ticed some water cOlOrS and engrav-
ings leaning against the furniture as If
for exhibition, and he was instantly
convinced that the caller was a pic
ture canVaSSer.
Inquiries by the stranger as to Mrs.
Clemens and the children did not
change Mark TWain's conclusion. He
was polite, but unrespOnsive, and grad
ually worked the visitor toward the
front door. An inquiry as to the home
Of Charles Dudley Warner caused the
caller to be shown eagerly in that di-
rection.
Clemens, on the way back to the
billiard room, heard Mrs. Clemens call
him-she was i'll that day.

George brought me Mr. BIS card.

"The BIS? Why, Livyr'

year, but we had always wheedled her
out of it. This time, however, she
seemed to mean business. | suppose
we had made good deal of racket.
When the fact became evident l, Os
course, shouldered the whole response
bility. Thereupon she turned on me.
Unexpectedly Talbot Ward spoke up
from the obscurity Of his corner. His
clear voice was inciSive, but so courte-
Gus with the cold finality of the high
bred aristocrat that Mrs. Simpkins was
cut short in the middle of a sentence.
Il beg you, calm yourself, madam"
said he. 1T is not worth heating your
self over, for the annoyance, such as
it is, will soon be removed. Mr.. Mum
roe and myself are shortly departing
together for California"
If | had any scruples-and l do not
remember many-they were overcome
within the next day or two. 1t was
agreed that l was to go in Wards en-
ploy, he to pay my passage money and
all expenses, l to give him half the
gold l might pick up. This seemed to
me at least an eminently satisfactory
and buSineSSlike arrangement. Ward
bought the outfits for both of us. 1t
turned out that he was a Mexican war
veteran-hence the military cape-and
in consequence an old campaigner. His
experience and my rural upbringing
saved us from most of the ridiculous
purchases men made at that time. We
had stout clothes and boots. n water
proof apiece, picks and shovels, blan-
kets and long strips of canvas, three
axes, knives, one rifle, double shot
gun and a Colts revolver apiece. The
latter seemed to me wonderful Weap-
on, with it's six charges in the turning
cylinder. but | had no opportunity to
try it.
Ward decided instantly for the Pam
anna route.
Its the most expensive, but also
the quickest said he. "A sailing ship
around the Horn takes forever, and
| across the plains is ditto. Every day
we wait some other fellow is landing
in the diggings."
Nearly every evening he popped into
our boarding house, where, owing to
the imminence Of my departure, | had
been restored to favor. | never did
find out where he lived. We took our
passage at the steamship office We
went to the variety shows and sang
"Oh, Susannah" with the rest. We
strutted bit and were only restrained
from dOnning our flannel shirts and
Colts revolving pistols in the streets
of New York by a little remnant,
very little remnant Of common sense.
When the time at last came we board
ed our steamship and hung over the
rail and cheered like crazy things. l
personally felt as though a lid had
, been lifted from my spirit and that
rolling cloud of enthusiasm was at last
allowed to puff out to fill my heaven.

ing me Of course fully prepared for
that, he Instantly ceased struggling.
After | had pushed the hand to the
hurting point l stopped
"Well?' said I.
He said nothing.
Now, l was young and none too well
disciplined, heated by contest and very
angry at having been so unexpectedly
attacked at the beginning. l was quite
and steadily and, l am ashamed to
say, with considerable satisfaction ]
pressed the arm upward. The pain
must have been intense. l could feel

cent with it all. Well put on the
gloves, and We'll hit and wrestle both
in fact, We'll fight"
He began rapidly to strip.
would you expect to get off your
clothes in a real fght?" l asked him a
little sardonically.
IF 1 expected to fight, yes.' said he.
why not? Didn't the Greek and Ro-
man and Hebrew and Hun and every
other good old fighter strip for the
fray when he got a chance? OF
course. Take off your shirt, man.
| began also to strip for this strange
contest whose rules seemed to be made
up from a judicious selection Of gen.
eral principles by Talbot Ward.
My opponents body was as beauti-
full as his head. The smooth white
skin covered long muscles that rippled
beneath it with every slightest motion.
The chest was deep, the waist and
hips narrow, the shoulders we'll round

Cameps Great Usefulness.

For safety and endurance in travel
ing in desert regions the cameIEhas
been found unequaled by any Other
animal. It's foot is soft cushion,
peculiarly we'll adapted to the stones
and gravel over which it is constantly
walking. During a single Journey
through the Sahara horses have worn
out three sets of shoes, while the feet
of the camel, travelling over the same
course, were not even sore.

Wonderful Connection.

A French Canadian guide came into
camp one day greatly excited. He had
a handful Of wild cranberries which
he exhibited with pride. "You know
the III cranberrie?" he asked the as
sembled party. "Welf, you take the
III cranberrie an you put him on the
fire with plenty of de sug-ob, big Lot
of de sug-an' you let him cook long
time. Then you take him off an Let
him cool. An VOLTA You have more
better apple sauce than you can make
out Of de prune!"

very thrilling one, too-in our
national history. MIR. White

wonderful piece Of work. He
has recreated the past, and we

the scenes he pictures with
so much vividness. "Gold"
has special interest at this
time because part Of the
story is laid in Panama, the
route taken by the gold seek

beaten a little faster at the
thought of those adventurous
days, you will follow the for
tunes Of this little party Of
four with real delight.

COMEWHERE in this story | must
write Il paragraph exclusively
about myself. The fact that In
- the outcome of all these stir
ring events | have ended as a mere
bookkeeper is perhaps a good reason
why one paragraph will be enough. In
my youth had dreams a-plenty, but
the event and the peculiar twist OF my
own temperament prevented their ful-
fillment. Perhaps i'll IL more Squeam-
ish age-and yet that is not fair either
to the men whose dcStinieS | am try
ing to record. Suffice it, then, that of
these men | have been the friend and
companion, of these occasions | have
been part, and that the very lacks
and reservations of my own character
that have kept me TO subordinate pO-
Sition and a little garden have prob
ably made me the better spectator.
Which is Il longer paragraph about my
self than | had purpoSed writing.
Therefore | will pass over briefly the
various reasons, romantic and practi-
cal, why | decided to join the gold rush
to California in the year 1910. 1t was

To XIII Wheat Insects.

Stored wheat is attacked by several
kinds Of insects, which feed principally
on the starch in the grain, destroying
the terminating power of the seed and
making the wheat berries inferior for
milling.
Clemson college. South Carolina, rec
ommends for the control Of these wheat
insects the use Of carbon bisulphide, an
almost colorless. nonpoisonous liquid
which kills by suffocation. For bar.
rel holding about three bushels use car
bon bisulphide ut the rate Of half a
teacupful to one barrel. For hun
dred bushel bin use eight pounds.
Apply the carbon bisulphide by sprin-
Elfng It over the surface Of the grain
in the barrel or bin. After sprinkling
cover the top Of the barrel or bin with
heavy burlap. Leave this cover on for
tHsnty.four hours OF longer. Repeat

Below Is printed an extract from q
letter from an English manufacturer
to 8 friend In Bennington. This Eng.
lish manufacturer Is man of wide
experience. He has lived several
years In Germany and knows condi.
tons there, and has spent some time
in this country. His letter is prob.
ably clearer statement OF war stu,
alton than often gets by the strict
censorship. The extract from the
letter which was dated Dec. q, 1915
Is as follows:
i am not at the front, unfortunate
ly am too old. With me 1t is acase
OF extreme envy Of those who are to
go. Mr.. w. is also fixed the same as
am. but both OF us are doing all we
can with regard to munitions.
Il do not agree with you, that the
Germans are nearly at the end of
their resources. They are a prudent
and cautious nation, and believe that
the schemes they have adopted now
are not the result OF present shortage,
but are intended more to conserve
the supplies they have. Unfortunate
ly. We in England, generally speaking,
are too utilitarian, and consequently
our cause suffers.
Everybody here should be making
