A very amusing Mory was told about
Chancellor Hlsiuaruk by Earl ltitssell. The
Incident occurred at Versailles during the
war of 1870, lird Hussell was to hae an
audience, and ho was walling for Count
von Arnlm to leave lllsinarck'M Htudy.
Presently Von Arnlm came out, fanning
himself furiously with his handkerchief.
"I really cannot understand," lie said,
"how Hlsinarck can llvo in miicIi an atmos
phero; he Im continually smoking, and the
strongest cigars, too. I had lo ask him to
omii tho window, for I could not stand It."
Then he took leave of lird lliisscll and
went his way. As soon as Ijonl ltllsscll
entered the nsmi lllsiuarck said to him:
"What strange tastes some peophi have!
There Is Von Arnlm, now, who Ims Just
gone out of t he room; It is a fad of his to
scent himself up to an uulmarahle degree,
and today I he perfume was so Intense that
I had to open the window." St. Iymls Re

Insl lor run,
Tol.li lllMSo. -Three months ago, when
n )oung man who had stuck type for
thirty-live cents per I.0.M ems on a Cluvo
laud paper, ami had knocked oir because
ho couldn't, agreo with tho editorial policy
of the paper, came out hero to establish a
plant and grow wool on his back, wo sat
down and talked to him like a brother.
There's 110th'. ig mean about us. Wo don't
want the earth, Wo have a great weekly
newspaper, a butcher shop, grocery, sad
dlery, shoe shop, millinery store and sig
nal service bureau all under ono roof, and
wo don't cam how many other cnturprlscs
nro rstahllsho 1 in this wild west.
This young man planned lo start a
weekly over al Pedro Valley, ami wo
warned him to pitch Into the c.ar of Rus
sia ami go light on tho boys al home.
That's the safe policy while learning to
shoot, tight ami left handed. Ho didn't
seem to take kindly to our advice, ami our
last words, as wo lent him sixteen lettew
out of a font of Job type, were lo prepare
for the up hills and down-hills of tho here
after. The sequel proves t hat wo wero cor
rect. He Issued one edition, Jabbed his

the climate, assisted by willing hands.
TOOK A WALK. Any particular lack of
interest on our editorial pa ye this week
must he laid lo a little Incident which oc
curred Tuesday forenoon. A cross eyed
pressman, who was working his way Jrom
San Francisco to Host 011 to see his mother
die, had put In a couple of weeks with us
as literary jdltor. IIo scorned a prudent,
level headed fellow, and wo passed In his
copy without reading It. What did lie do
hut ring in a little item to tho effect that
four aces always Is-ata royal Hush, no mat
ter what old liar held to the contrary. Col.
Johnson, who Is Arl.nhn authority on
poker, came around to have a look at our
man and ask where and how we had capt
ured him, and hu had scarcely stepped In
side thoolllce when the pressman lost his
nerve and began lo shoot.
What was thu colonel's gain was our
loss. We had a linger split by a bullet, tho
devil got a rako across thu skull, and tho
foreman now carries his arm in a sling.
The colonel, It Is needless to say, was un
touched. Whenouryoungmiingot through
shooting at everybody except thu man ho
wanted lo hit wo assisted to take him out,

Many years ago, Imforo Mr. Oplo P. Head

and elaborate pull's for farm produce and

and they could not afford the extravagance
of an all night lire, the question of lodg
ings became a seriously Important one.
For a lime It looked as If the paper would
have to Im discontinued, while the editors
1 tramped to a more congenial clime. Hut
I at last the genius of Head camu to thu res

There was a freight train going down
the road, passing through that town at
0.07 p. in., and there was it passenger train
going up thu road, passing at 8:ir a. m. In
those days, long before Senator Cullom
conceived the Idea of tho Interstate com
merce law, with Its elatiMi cutting off frco
transportation, editors could get railroad
passes to their hearts' cnnUiut. So Mr.
Head and his partner, equipped with an
nual passes, good between ail stations,
slept In thu warm cahoosuof thu freight
train until they met thu passenger train,
and then camu hack homo. This they (lid
