wiper. This pen-wiper was a primi‘

by his daughter when she‘was three
years old. It laid upon his desk by
day, and was Carefully locked up at
night. The legend runs that just be”-
fore the great strike on the Missouri
Pacific road the pen-wiper disappeared
mysteriously, and just‘ after the s'ettle- .
mcnt iit reappeared mysteriously, its
owner, however; having parted with a
million dollars in the 1nterval.—Har-

BEARS ON THE TRACK.
The Trouble They, Make on the Bath cad
In Pine Creek Canon.
, Pine Creek Canon is so narrow and
the rocks on either side are so straight
and high that in some places the sun
cannot shine in the ravine until noon,
and in .two hours It is gone. The day
in Pine Creek Canon is practically but
two hours long. At Tiadaghton, in
midsummer, they have four hours of
sunshine. The canon is fifteen miles
long. The railroad track is constantly
under patrol that distance. A veteran
among the track walkers of the canon
is Pat Callahan. Falling rocks, drunk-
en lumbermen, and bears, he says,
keep him and the rest busy.
“And I have more trouble with the
bears than the other things, ” Pat says
“I’ve come face to face with bears
walking along the track many and
many a time. They seem to be stuck
on wandering into the canon from the
three adjoining bear-hunting counties.
and inspecting the railroad track
None of ’em ever seemed to want tc
tackle me, but they always givc'me a
good deal of trouble in getting them tc
leave the rail. I’ve had to flag trains
more than once, and call the train men
to help me rid the track of obstructing
bears.”~—New York Sun. '
Football Players Saved the Horses.
Conductor Stevens of the Moscow
run has an even better opinion of foot-
ball players now than he had before
says the Colfax Gazette. His in-
creased good opinion was brought
about peculiarly. Thanksgiving day
the evening train to Pullman‘ had on
board the college football team, and
when the train was forced to stop by
finding three horses fast in a trestle.
Captain McCroskey came out just as
the trainmen wereprcparing to hitch
chains to the horses to pull them out
expecting}; of course, in clearing the
track, to kill the horses. But the foot-
ball hcro called for a stay of proceed.

A Twelve-Foot Turtle.
A startling reminiscence of a time
when this country was inhabited
chiefly by reptiles has just been un-
earthed.
It is in the shape of a turtle twelve
feet long, whose forearms measured
twenty feet across when outstretched,
and who was generally built in pro:
portion. There is no creature alive to
day as large as this, for a well grown
elephant is not more than nine feet
high at the shoulder.
The skeleton of this monster was
found recently near the South Fork of
the Cheyenne River, about thiity- five
miles southeast of the Black Hills.—

He Came for the Third Chicken.
Harry had just begun to go to gchool '
and was very proud of what he 11:11],"
learned. One day he thought' he would
show his father how much he knew,
and asked him at dinner, “Papa, how
many chickens are there on that
dish?” “Two, my boy,” said papa. “I
thought you knew how to count?”
“You’re wrong,” said Harry, “there
are three. That’s one, that’s two. and
two and one make three.” “Very
well,” said his father; “your mother
may have one for her dinner. I’ll take
the other, and you can have the third.”
He Had Them All.
Here is a true, story of a certain
earl, now living, who is a miscr. and
hoards bank-notes. Being at his bank-
er’s one day, he happened to take out
his pocket-book, in which was a ten-
thousand—pound Bank of Ehglnnd note.
“Why, my lord,” said the astonished
banker, “are you aware that there are
only .two other such notes, in circula-
tion?" “I ought to be,”. was the ‘quiet
reply, “for I have got them both
framed and glazed at home.”
He Was Well Infornlcd.
