His English Admirers
Annoyed Bret Harte
It is said that Bret Harte used to
become weary to exasperation at
the foolish admirers who could not
separate him from liis characters,
and who insisted on confounding
their experiences and predilections
with his own.
Since he wrote of pioneer mining
camps in the early days of the gold
fever, his characters were often
heroic only in part; indeed, they
were quite as often rogues as
heroes. As he obviously could not
be identitied with the roughest
types among them, the favorite no
seemed to be that he was, or
had been, a gentleman gambler,
says the Kansas City Star. With
that Idea in mind, a young English
man once tried hard to get Harte
to describe and explain poker,
which he referred to as “your
American gome." Harte convenient
ly misunderstood him.
tt So you say ‘great game’ over
here?” he inquired amiably. “In
the States, now, we call it ‘big
game’—grizzlies, catamounts, buf
falo and the big horns, don’t you
know. But we don’t chase them
with pokers. No, no. They’re
abundant, but they don’t often come
Into the houses, really. It’s usually
necessary to go outside with a
gun.”
At another time he learned that
a certain noted hostess, whose In
vitation to dine he had just ac
cepted, had been concerned whether
it were true he was a reformed
gambler.
. Not reformed,” said Harte,
wearily. “Tell her that I am be
yond reformation. Tell her that I
was ray own model for the gambler,
Oakhurst, and that the scene of his
suicide is pure autobiography. »»
Americans Accorded
Honors by Britain
The first native American to be
knighted by an ‘English monarch
was Sir William Pepperell, who was
bom in Klttery, Maine, June 27,
1696. His father was a Welshman
who came to New England as an
apprentice to a fisherman. The son
became a merchant and amassed a
large fortune. As a military leader
he took part in several conflicts
with the Indians and attained much
distinction. For thirty-two years
he was a member of the royal coun
cil of Massachusetts, and as chief
justice of common pleas he won
eminence as a jurist.
Since Pepperell’s time many
Americans have achieved knight
hood and higher British honors,
Lord Astor and Lord Shanghnessy,
the former a native of New York
and the latter of Milwaukee, being
among the more prominent latter
day examples.
It Happened in Boston
There had been a visitor, and to
the lad she said: “And so this is
little Walter? My, my! What a
big boy you’ve grown to be! I
wouldn’t have believed it possible. H
,
“Mother,” said Walter when the
visitor had gone, “doesn’t It pass
your comprehension how persons in
whom one would naturally expect
an ordinary degree of intelligence
appear to believe, all history and
nature to the contrary notwithstand
ing, that the children of their ac
quaintance will always remain in
fants, and persist in expressing sur
prise when they observe the perfect
ly natural increase in one's stat
ure?"—Washington Star.
Knew His Business
The storekeeper in a little coun
try town was a smart business
man. Indeed. He knew just when to
strike and just when the iron was
hot enough. That was how he had
built up such a prosperous business.
“Miss Smith,” he suid to one of
his assistants, “do you know any
thing ahout the new minister who is
coming to the town next week?”
“Yes,” replied the girl, “he is a
tall, good-looking man, about twen
ty-eight, and he isn’t married.”
“Is that so?” said the proprietor
briskly. “Miss Smith, you may put
all the new hats in the shop into
the front window right away.”
Old Mystic Ceremonies
The Orphic mysteries were mys
tic ceremonies in honor of Bacchus
(Dionysus) Zagreus, observed by
the followers of Orpheus at a very
early period in the history of
Greece. These Orphic worshipers
of Bacchus, however, did not prac
tice the licentious rltee usually
characteristic of the “Dlonysla” or
“Bacchanalia,” but aimed rather at
an ascetic purity of lif?. They
dressed In white linen garments and
ate no animal food save what was
yielded by the ox sacrificed to Dio
nysus.—Kansas City Star.
Liquid Floats Stones
Of all liquids, mercury possesses
the greatest specific gravity, but an
other has been discovered which is
also so heavy that stones of all
kinds—granite, limestone, quartz,
etc., float in it./It is a saturated
nqueogs sol ijWdn of tungstoborate.
gravity is 3.3, whereas
that of ordinary rocks does not sur
pass 2.7. Only a few precious stones
have a specific gravity greater than
that of this liquid, for which reason.
Vt is proposed to employ It for the
separation of such stoues from the
nusKses of broken rock.
MADDENING.
Wetwash: What drove the
lighthetuse keeper’s wife crazy?
loneliness ?
Roughdry: Not exactly. She
was listening in at the radio while
a big dry goods store ashore was
describing a bargain sple for the
next day.
HARD LUCK.
“I had bad luck today, ran into
a fellow with my car.”
