Sam Davis of Nevada once made a

that the public, the press, and the
critics would not detect the fraud. A?

to which he signed F. Bret Harm’s
name. The fake was’put cut In i
licatlon known as "The Open Letter. ’
It described an engineer who took his
train through a snowstorm In the Sier
ras, dying at bis post.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific the
poem was copied. "Binley and 46" was
given a full page in "Leslie's Weekly."

described as "the best short poem of

It was many years before Mr. Harte
denied Its authorship. The poem has

In the eighties Sam Davis went to
Carson, Nevada, and assuming the ed
itorship of the Carson “Appeal,” which
before he went actively into state pol
itics, was one of the most widely cop-
country papers in the United
States. When Sarah Bernhart first
passed through Nevada on her west
ern tour, the "Examiner," ol San Fran
cisco,wired Davis to board the "divine
Sarah's train at Reno and escort her
Into California,—also to get a good in
terview en route. Mr. Davis made
himself so agreable to the entire com
»» Bernhart insisted that the
"romantic monsieur of the press” be
assigned by the “Examiner” to escort
her throuh the mapes of western life.
Mr. Davis turned San Francisco up
side down for her entertainment and
even arranged a number of attractions
to show her a sample of western ac-
tltivy under the stress of strong emo
tion. When the company left 8nn
Francisco, and farewells were being
said, Bernhart walked up to Davis, In
the presence of tbe admiring throng,
and kissed him on either cheek and
on the lips.
"On the cheeks,’’ she exclaimed,
with a naive toss of her head." for the
•Examiner’ and the ‘Appeal;’ on the
lips for yourself."
Sam Davis for the second time in
his life, blushed, but recovered him
self in time to remark that there were
a lot more up-country papers that he
representated, all of which would like
to have him return to Nevada with
similar tokens.
The Use of Grammar.

Boston once had great difficulty In im
parting to a boy pupil at ten cer

amount of trouble with the lad. In
desperation the teacher finally blurt

laugh at the mistakes of others.”—

Intellectual Birds.
A certain university doctor, desir
ing to see a birdcatcher exercise his
employment accompanied him to the
field. As soon as he saw the bird he
hallooed in Latin:
"There tbew are!”
The birds took the alarm. The
sportmen. indignant at the absurdi
ty of the professor, told him of it in
very plain terms.
“My friend," exclaimed the doctor

The fact, recently brought to light
by tbe Bureau of Statistics that we
use more sugar per capita or per gas-
teres than any other people in the
world, may be variously accounted for.
For instance, none but an American
has the hardihood to keep on bringing
his girl candy when he knows this
can only result in his winning her
heart and hand and having her den
tist’s bills to pay for after. Likewise
none but an American dare put up
ward of three lumps in his coffee
with his landlady looking. But, after
all, the real explanation is probably to
be found in the circumstances of Am
ericans being denied the uses of ad
versity by the operation of the Dlngley
tariff, and having, therefore, to resort
to other sweets to supply the natural
demand for that sort of thing.

Why The Bread Came Back.
A boy who had been working in a
baker shop for some time was Just
about to finish his trade. One night
when tbe boss was gone he broke
the marble slab he molded his loaves
on, so he went to the marble yard
to secure another, but could not find
one, says Ltpplncott’s Magazine. On
his way back he passed a graveyard,
and as it was very dark he jumped
over and pulled up a small headstone
about the right size and took It back
and finished his job. The next day
after the bread had been delivered
nearly all of It was sent back. The
baker looked at It and broke several
loaves open, but found nothing wrong.
Then he happened to turn one of the
loaves over and found on the undeiv
side of every loaf the inscription:
"Here lies the body of Mrs. . Born
A. D. 16S2; died A. D. 1746.”
