Here is fine lie, told by a white
man named Evans, good friend OF
mine, by the way.
Having introduced this falsehood,
will explain, before proceeding with it
what recalled it to my mind after nine
long years of trying to forget 1t.
A tragedy recalled this miserable
lie, tragedy and q bad mistake.
suppose everyone has read of the re-
cent shooting at Cornfields in which
Gray-Eyes, the Navajo, shot a white
Indian agent through the head with
out hurting him.
BY all accounts, it seems Gray-Eyes
almost missed the agent; for it is said
the bullet went in at one ear and out
at the other.
My friend Evans was mule-skin-
ner in the Philippines during the
Philippine war; and am also vet
eran of that war; but believe | have
never skinned anybody in my life ex-
cepJ JOurlSIS.
On a certain occasion Evans was
caught in the worst rain there that
any man ever saw. 1t was in place
completely surrounded by creeks,
which quickly became impassable.
The rain poured down all night
long; but it made no difference to
him, for he slept soilndly through it
all, while his companions sat around
in the greatest detection and misery.
Evans must have been wonderful
man in his other days; though you
would never suspicion it to see him to-
day. Indeed, he has whipped as many
as eight men at one time, so he says.
He slept so soundIy that he was not
aroused by the rising water until it
had been pouring into his mouth for
some time the next morning, for he
slept flat on his back. He believes he
had drank several quarts of muddy
water then, before he awoke, some
what choked
I used to be amused at him for she'd
ding tears over the smallest jolts of
white mule; he has doubtless changed
since his war days.
When Evans sat up in the water he
could hear nothing. He had become
deaf from lying so long with his ears
full of water.
The company he was with had
marched away during the night with
out seeing his nose sticking up out of
the muddy water; and it was not my
company, either, ass.he has often tried
to get me to confess.
| have often debated with myself
whether or not should try to knock
that nose off, for the reason it was
so close to his mouth. Evans would
not be such an offensive and unwel-
come friend if it We're not for that
mouth of his. / honestly believe the
truth has never passed his lips; and
he seems never to be satisfied until he

BOSTON WOOL MARKET

Actual sales of wool during the
week we're small, bit there were bet
ter inquiries from mill buyers, prices
were firm, and some optimism was
created by the slightly higher quota
tions named by manufacturers last
week. The business done was distrib-
uted fairly even over the various
grades. Fleeces moved fairly well,
although demand was spotty. Terri
tory woods were quieter, but sa1es
were spread over all grades. French
combings moved best in the fine
wools group. Contracting for Texas
and western woods has broadened and
prices tend to stiffen, although they
are still below a year ago. Prices
at the foreign primary markets show
continued strength. Mohair has been
quiet.

One of our young men, who's pretty
popular with the bob-hairs, says the
dad of one yesterday demanded to
know how it happened that the night
before the girl was sitting on his lap.
With great presence of mind he ex-
planned that it only happened because
he got there early before the girls
other fellers. He says one of his girls
has nick-naned him Pilgrim, because
every time he calls he makes more
progress.
They were talking about Christmas
presents and Alex Johnston said he
got two-tube set for Christmas.
Art Riordan was interested right
away and asked if it was regener-
ative. Alex said he s'posed it might
be called that; one tube was tooth
paste and the other shaving paste.

Milt Powers says when he was
youth back in Iowa he took part in
dramatics. In the first play he had
the words: "Hark! It's the pistol"
He rehearsed faithfully, each time
pulling the trigger at the villain. On
the night OF the play the gun was
loaded-it never had been in rehearsal
and it came Milt's cue. He stepped
to the center and the gun went off
with bang. Good Lord! What was
that ?" Milt yelled.
Vic Watson says the closest Scotch
man he ever knew before he went to
the hospital for appendicitis had
papers drawn up to transfer his ap-
pendix to his wife.
Carter Joy says the first time he
ever proposed to a girl he was pretty
nervous and the only way he could
think of to break the news of his love
and hopes to her was to ask her if
she'd like to be buried with him and
his relatives.
Ed Haight says the most conscien-
tious bank clerk he ever knew on the
first day he came to work reported
that he'd added a column of figures
10 times to make sure he did it right,
and after being praised for being so
careful, handed in a slip on which he'd
written the 10 different sums.
