The sweetest little fish story oithe
season is told by Frank Abbott, of
Burlington, Iowa. At Clear Lake
dwells a little girl who takes a ride
every day in a small skid drawn by
two pickerel. They are regularly
hArnessed, and. by means of lines, she
is enabled to guide them in any direc-
tion. The fish are about three feet in
length, weigh between seven and eight
pounds each. and are very powerful.
When the girl has tired Of riding she
drives the pickerel to a boat-house,
where they are embarrassed, taken in
to a commodious glass aquarium made
expressly for them, and fed. When
she goes 10 the tank to harness them
for ride, the pickerel jump almost in
to her arms. so glad, apparently, are
they To sec her. The young Miss has
beea offered 81, 900 for her team.

to go and change the shoes and obtain
a better. Yesterday she appeared in
the store and selected pair Of shoes,
price 50 80, and politely requested
the clerk to take back the shoes for

A strange and doubtless unprece-

in jackson township, Indiana. While
grazing, the animal attempted to lick
his foot, as is supposed, and stepped
upon his tongue literally tearing that
member out by the roots. The
tongue has been preserved in alcohol
as a curiosity. The horse is still
alive, and apparently intends to live
out his regular period of years.
