IT WAS A GOOD PORTRAIT.
And It Had a Sobering Effect Upon
“Hollering Jones.”
A well known Illustrator who makes
Interesting western pictures once made
the acquaintance of a noisy but good
humored cowboy who rejoiced In the
appellation of "Hollering Jones.”
In physical appearance this man was
typical of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him, both in repose
and in his favorite diversion of “holler
ing.” Some of the studies were sold by
the artist to an eastern magazine. They
showed Jones In his most violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr. Jones himself, bearing one of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the maguzlne in which it was printed.
Pointing to it, he said:
“Is that me?”
“Well,” replied the artist evasively,
“I got the general idea from you, of
course, but”—
“Oh, I ain’t takln’ no offense,” Jones
made haste to say. “it’s all right: only
if it's me say so.”
“If you put it to me that way,” said
the artist. “I can only reply that It is a
fairly good portrait of you.”
“The men here on the ranch agree
with you. So I look like that when I
holler, do I ?”
i turn ic you uo.
“In that case,” said Hollering Jones,
“all I’ve got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last holler.
Hereafter, when I celebrates I does so
with a tin horn. In my opinion no man
has a right to look like that—not round
white folks, anyhow.”—Youth’s Com
panion.
TREES THAT ROB THE SEA.
Nipa Palms and Mangroves of Sara
wak Are Land Builders.
1 The river banks in Sarawak (British
! protectorate in Borneo) are lined with
nipa palms and mangroves. At low
tide you can see th*e mangroves stand
ing on trestles of black woody roots,
looking like snakes writhing in the
mud. Upon these pedestals crowns of
bright green leaves thirty to forty feet
in height form aquatic forests at the
mouth of the rivers all along the coast.
Each branch is weighed down by fruit,
which when ripe drops iDto the mud
and starts a new tree.
me mpa paim nas mauea roots,
which easily retain the flotsam and
jetsam carried down by the unceasing
current of the waters, and it has an
angular fruit, which, like that of the
mangrove, sinks into the mud, germi
nates and forms forests on its own ac
count. The incessant action of these
encroaching trees adds continually to
the land. Indeed, there are certain
aged natives who have been heard to
say that part of the coast near Sirik,
although exposed to the constant surf
of the northeast monsoon, has en
croached on the sea for two miles or
more during their lifetime.
When the land reclaimed by the
mangroves and nipa palms becomes
drier the trees die and give place to
other tropical vegetation.—From “Ra
nee of Sarawak” in Wide World Maga
zine.
Penalties of Fashions.
Men of fashion must have felt ex
quisitely uncomfortable in the days of,
beaver hats weighing ten times ns
much as the heaviest hats of today
Sir Algernon West remembers wearing
about 1850 “a pair of dove colored
trousers with two fluted stripes down
tile sides and buttoned under the foot
with broad stripes of the same mate
rial. Wellington boots, which were
sine qua non with a man of fashion in
those days, and a coat so high in the
collar that the back of the hat rested
on it. Indeed, every hat hud a cres
cent of cloth on the back of the brim
to prevent the rubbing of the beaver
or imitation beaver of which the hat
was made, for silk hats were not then
invented.”—Ixindou Spectator.

One day, returned from a visit to a
small playmate, she calmly announced:
“Rena swallowed a button.”
"Are you not worried about her?” she
was asked.
“Ob, she will get along all right,”
Florence Louise complacently replied.
“They sent for a regular button doc
