CRAWFORD IN KILTS
Tho Novelists Remark Whsr He Saw
Himself as a Child
One of the best known guides In the
capitol at Washington used to bc
Colouel Jasper K Snow formerly a
Kansas City lawyer who always sat
In Republican conventions and voted
for Blaine as long as there was a
Blaine to vote for
Colonel Snow tised to tell this littlo
story of the late Marioii Crawford
He had met 51 r Crawford in Flor
ence Italy and when the novelist
came to Washington Colonel Snow was
the tirst person who showed him the
doors made by the novelists father
Thomas Crawford
These are the senate bronze doors
on the eastern portico They repre
sent scenes connected with tho Revo
lution and the founding of the govern
ment
The panel representing Washingtons
reception at Trenton when on his way
to ids inauguration in New Yurie con
tains among the populace portrait fig
ures of the sculptor his wife his
three children and Randolph Rogers
the sculptor of the main doors of the
capitol
The novelist who had never seen
the doors before quickly identified his
mother and father
Yes said he mother used to
wear her hair just like that
Then gazing at the largest child a
Fauntleroyish figure in kilt with loug
flowing hair he added speculatively
But I wonder if I ever really did
look like that New York Sun
A DUCK HARD TO KILL
The Screaming Walloon Is Something
of a Diver Too
The screaming Walloon is a hard
duck to kill Its hide is very tough
and is thickly covered with feathers
and down Besides the bird is a
great diver one of the kind that used
to dive at the flash when hunted
with the old arm that flashed when
fired It is of very little value for ta
ble use being so tough The only way
to manage it at all is to skin it and
parboil it in a big pot with plenty of
water The negroes make caps of
Walloon skins
They are great ducks for diving
says a well known Tred Avon river
progger They can dive quicker go
down deeper remain under water long
er and come up farther away than
any other duck that frequents our wa
ters I remember once I succeeded in
killing a Walloon and being short of
game for the table I determined to
cook my bird I got a negro to skin it
giving him the hide for his trouble
After being cleaned we put it in a
great pot fuli of water and under it
kindled a hot fire After awhile I
wanted to see how the cooking of my
duck progressed and lifted the top off
the boiling pot but there was so much
steam escaping 1 could not see into the
pot and struck a match over it The
blamed Walloon sir dived at the flash
of the match It disappeared and has
never been seen since Baltimore Sun
To Start a Tight Screw
Lots of folks have tried to remove a
stubborn screw from a piece of wood
a screw that wont budge at all and
have in the end given it up as a bad
job Well if such a thing occurs again
dont give it up dont lose your temper
or exert yourself but try this recipe
for removing the screw Heat u poker
red hot and then hold it against the
screw head for a little while wait a
few minutes for the screw to cool
down when it will be found that the
screw can be removed quite easily
with the same screwdriver that just
previously would not perform the
work The explanation is quite sim
ple The red hot poker heats the screw
and the screw expands and makes
the hole it is in just a wee bit bigger
The screw then cools down and re
sumes its original size leaving the
hole iu the wood a size tco large and
there you are New York Sun
Interesting For the Husband
A titled lady warned her new gar
dener that her husband had an irri
tating habit of disparaging everything
he saw in the greenhouse and of or
dering in a reckless manner new plants
to be bought
But on no account humor him
she said Whatever he says throw
cold water on him or he will ruin us
with his extravagance
At this point the new gardener
turned on her a while and startled face
Maam lie said if he orders me
to pitch every plant iu the place on
the rubbish heap I shant ever have
the pluck to douse him in cold water
Wont it do as well if I get a drain of
warm water out of the boiler and let
it trickle gently down his neck

KANGAROO KEAT
Why tho Native Youngsters of New
Guinsa fUfuscd It
In certain parts of New Juinca l lie
wallaby a species of kangaroo are
very plentiful and the traveler In
search of sport Amis the pursuit of
them an exciting occupation Wallaln
steak is a refreshing change from can
ned meats and the natives are only
too glad to have the remnants of the
carcass A writer in an Knglish mag
azine tells an amusing incident con
nected with the animal
Jle had been ashore in one of the
sparsely populated regions of the coast
and secured four wallaby an ample
supply for the whole party native
guides and servants included But he
found that although wallaby is re
garded as such a delicacy that no
trouble is considered too great to ob
tain it none of the native boys in the
party would touch it
This was a mystery until one of
them explained that they had been
trained in childhood in the belief that
if they ate wallaby before reaching a
certain age it would stop their growth
These lovs all belonged to the part
of the country where wallaby are few
and one can imagine the crafty old
folks seated round the festive pot and
winking at one another as the voting
people declined the succulent dainty
LACEMAKING
An Old Legend That Tells of the Ori
gin of the Art
Lacemaking is by no means so old
an industry as most persons suppose
There is no proof that it existed pre
vious to the fifteenth century and the
oldest known painting in which it ap
pears is a portrait of a lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Caspac
cio who died about lV2i The legend
concerning the origin of the art is as
follows
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to a young and beauti
ful girl of one of the isles of the la
goon Industrious as site was beauti
ful the girl made a new net for her
lover who took it witii him on board
his boat The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui
site petrified wrack grass which he
hastened to present to his fiancee but
war breaking out the fisherman was
pressed into the service of the Vene
lion navy The poor girl wept at the
departure of her lover and contem
plated his last gift to her While ab
sorbed in following the intricate tra
cery of the wrack grass she began to
twist and plait the threads weighted
with small beads which hung around
her net Little by little site wrought
an imitation of the petrification aid
thus was created the bobbin lace
Too Realistic
During a performance of Captain
Lapalisse at a Valencia theater some
years aco an incident occurred which
for lifelike effect left nothing to be de
sired During the said play some of
the actors mingle with the spectators
in order to co operate from the body
of the house No sooner had Minifies
the actor taken his seat in the stalls
than a daring pickpocket robbed him
of his gold watch Minifies seized the
I man by his coat collar and called out
in a deep bass voice
Police Uelp Thieves
The audience taking this little epi
sode to be part of the performance
roared with laughter Even the police
men joined in without stirring hand or
foot
This is no farce cried the actor
in tones of despair The fellow has
got my watch
The voice sounded so natural that
the audience broke into loud applause
at such excellent fooling Meanwhile
the thief managed to break away from
his captor and escaped
