Tricking a Game Warden. When a game warden bought seven pounds of meat and paid u dollar a pound for It he th#ught he was get ting some pretty convincing evidence against a man in Herkimer couuty whom he supposed to be a chronic violator of the game law. The pro tector found this particular piece of meat in an icehouse one hot August day, and he spotted It for venison. "What will you take for that chunk of meat?" he asked the owner. "That's a tender piece of meat," re- ! plied the woodsman, with a wink at the stranger, "and meat is dear way back up here. I wouldn't part with it for less 'n a dollar a pound." "Well, give me a pound." "Nope; couldn't do that. It would epile the piece for cookln' to do that." The game warden had to take the whole thing, and he paid $7 for it, sat isfied that he had caught one of the worst game law violators in the Adi rondacks. Down to Albany he sent the meat for the forest, fish and game commission to analyze to prove it ven ison. But it wasn't. It was veal. The backwoodsmen tell the story as one of the best jokes ever played on a game protector.—New York Tribune. Columns of St. Mark. Two memorable granite columns, known as the columns of St. Mark, brought from the Holy Land in 1120 and standing in front of the quay and landing steps of the Piazzeta, have been associated with the fortunes of Venice for many years. At first they lay prostrate for a long time, while no one would undertake to raise them. But a reward offered by the doge at length Induced one Nicolo Barratiero (Nick the Blackleg) to offer his serv ices. He succeeded and claimed as his reward the privilege of carrying on between the columns games of chance, elsewhere prohibited by law. To neutralize tills as much as possible It was enacted that all public execu tions should take place on the same spot. One column is surmounted by the Lion of St. Mark. The other car ries a fine figure of St. Theodore, the patron saint of the city, who stands upon a crocodile and with sword and buckler gives token that the motto of Venice is "Defense, Not Defiance." Montevideo English. A letter from a concern in Monte video, South America, to a Chicago firm: "My dear sir: We know; you ask for agents. We can offer you this. Our office has the representation many ar ticles we can offer the representation your's. We ought to kuow you; we have placemen and gadders whoso business is only to sell our articles. Our business is diffused till some bra sillan villages; where the amerienn ar ticles are worth of the hinghest atten tion. Our mind is that, the diffuse of the news is the best middle for the know; all things; and we don't stop in middles for its circulation; we have decided the appear of The Commercial Review next issue where you can be | felow labourers; and we with no one j expendituru; that is; to say always; you dispense us any cassines." We like "gadders," as applied to traveling men, don't you?— Chicago Tribune. He Found His Man. Englishmen are rather fond of poll- ] ing fun at those parts of Great Britain I where other than the Anglo-Saxon ele- J ment. is dominant, and a favorite sulh ! jet for jest is the prevalence of the \ Jones family in Wales. Oue of the colleges of Oxford univer- ] sity was much resorted to by Welsh- ! men. A man from another college | looking for a friend went Into its quad- i rangle and shouted, "Jones!" All the windows looking on the quad- j rangle flew open. "I mean John Jones," said the ' searcher. Half the windows closed. "I mean the John Jones who has a j toothbrush," he explained. All the windows closed but one.— Topeka State Journal. A Stitch of Pain. A stitch is a sharp, spasmodic pain In the muscles of the side like the piercing of a needle and is very apt to be produced if exercise Is taken im mediately after a hearty meal. This arises because the nervous energy nec essary for the proper working of the muscles In exercise is engaged in an other direction—namely, in assisting the digestion of the food. Anything that Interferes with the proper supply of nervous energy required for exer- j else, whether it be debility or the proc- j ess of digestion or exhaustion arising j from overexertion. Is np't to cause this | spasmodic pain. Adam's Sister. The palm tree has always been ven erated wherever It grows; lu some placA It Is worshiped.

One of the apartments in the an <-i. Nt royal paiace at ('intra, Portugal, is known as (lie Hull of Magpies. Painted In the arabesque celling; is; to In- round a swarm of magpies. Each lias in the mouth a scroll, on which, painted in red on a white ground, ure the words, "l'or hem." The story runs that King Jolin of Portugal was making love to one of the maids of honor in this chamber and was sur prised by the queen. His majesty made the best of the circumstances and ex plained lo tin' queen, "10 por hem tfiinka sacre" ("Oh, it is nothing at all. it is quite right. There Is no harm In it"). As to whether the queen was satisfied the legend is silent, but the ladies of the court were deeply interested and were constantly saying to one another with n smile, "l'or hem! l'or hem!" The king thought it time to net, so lie com missioned an artist to paint on the ceiling as many magpies as there were talkative ladies about the court, each holding in the beak the ribbon with the words, "l'or betn." —London Globe. Fate of Portugal's Homer. "The I.uslad" is one of the noblest records ever written of national glory and success. Camoens, its gifted au thor, determined to do for Portugal what Homer had done for Greece. The great poem was written in the six teenth century, which lias been called the heroic age of Portugal, and its main feature Is the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope by Vaseoda (Jama, while a most Interesting episode is the crowning after death of Inez de Castro as queen of Portugal. "The Lusiad" took its name from Lusius, who was said to have founded Lisbon. Its author was born about 1520, and his career, whieh began brilliantly, was blighted by the death of a broken heart of the lady of his love, for whose sake lie was banished from the land. He wrote "The I.uslad" in his banish ment and was recalled In 1571, losing on the way all his property except his poem. Pensioned at first by the king, this great epic poet of Portugal died in great poverty in 1570, when his patron was also deud. Down In a Coal Mine. To the ear accustomed to the con stant sound of a living world the still ness of a coal mine, where the miles of crosscuts and entries and the un yielding walls swallow up all sounds and echo is a silence that Is complete, but as one becomes accustomed to the silence through long hours of solitary work souikls become audible that would escape an ear less trained. The trickling murmur of the gas, the spat tering fall of a lump of coal loosened by some mysterious force from a cranny in the wall, the sudden knock ing and breaking of a stratum far up in the rock above or the scurry of a rat off somewhere in the darkness strike on the ear loud and startling. The eye, too, becomes trained to pene trate the darkness, but the darkness Is so complete that there is a limit—the limit of the rays east by the pit lamp. —Joseph Husband in Atlantic. Portuguese and Codfish. It is an interesting fact that the fish ermen of northern Portugal started and developed the fishing industry on the "banks" off the northern coast of America, and, though they now send fewer ships, their taste for salt cod from Newfoundland is unabated—in fact, it is a national Portuguese dain ty. It Is found in every Utile grocery shop, hard and brown as a board. A number of Portuguese have made their home on the i lands to the south of the mainland of M: ssachusetts. and there the dark eves of the Iberian maiden, raven locks ami a certain pic turesque element in dress are not in frequent. This connection with Por tugal dates back many years, the ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging the distance over sea and returning with Portuguese crows. Exchange. Adam and Eve. "I hope this expulsion of ours is not going to injure our social position," said Eve ruefully. "I guess not," replied Adam. "They can't stop us from being one of the very tirst families, whatever they do." "I don't find our names here in the 'Social Register,'" said Eve, looking the volume over. "Look under 'Dilntory Domiciles,' my love," said Adam as he went out and named the jackass after himself.— Harper's Weekly. A Pithy Sermon.
