He Saw Wjdnws.

Officer Button. at the Union depot,
picked up the other day memoran-
dunn book evidently lost by some one
attending the state fair. All the entries
are made in business-like manner,
and some of them are readable. The
first entry is:
'sSnall take SIC with me to the state
fair. Second-class hotel good enough
for me. Beware of pickpockets. Keep
your eyes open for a good-looking
widow. View the animals, and don
forget to take two clean handkerchiefs
along"
The second entry reads:
Fair up TO the average. Saw a
widow in the car going up. Didn't
seem to like my STYLE. Somebody has
stuck me with Il bogus half dollar. Saw
another widow on the grounds. Rather
too stout. Viewed the animals and was
kicked by steer.
Third entry-'.G0ou attendance Slept
on the floor. jam on the street cars.
Passed the bogus money of on boot
black. Saw a widow at the hotel. Most
too lean. Went to the theatre last night
Saw several widows, but no chance to
make an impression"
Fourth entry-"'Big crowd on the
grounds. Beat my way in. Saw &
widow on the fence. Most too bolster
Gus for my locality. Saw a horse race.
One horse beat all the others. Viewed
the machinery and was hit on the ear
by loafer. Saw widow viewing the
headless rooster. Mouth most too
large for my part of the state. Slept in
q barn for nothing"
Fifth entry-''Saw a widow in the
post office. Blind in one eye. No good.
Big jam. Tried to beat my way in, but
couldn't. Saw horse-race. Saw a
widow on the grand stand. Bowed TO
her. Cold cut Viewed the big OK.
Saw widow in Honey hall. Raised
my hat Got left Feel blue
As that wa, the last entry it would
seem as if he gave up in disgust and
started for home. A person supposed
to be him ''saw widow at the depot
Friday afternoon, and became so OBJ
noxious that she hit him over the head
with an umbrella, and two or three
men reached for him with cowhide
boots.-C Chicago Times.

.Why does the salmon take tiy"'
is a question which anglers are asking
each other in sporting newspapers; and,
curiously enough, the answer that
meets most favor is, because it takes
it for schrimp?" At first sight it
seems as if the letter. writers were pok-
inc fun at the fish, for looking at the
cases of salmon flies in any tackle-mak-
er's shop it might be supposed that the
noble creature mistook the gorgeous
artificial insect for some rare delicacy
lust come from the tropics. But to
imagine that the fish mistook this re-
splendent thing of feathers and tinsel
for such a familiar object as the COM
mon gray shrimp would appear to argue
q very poor opinion of the salmon s
perceptions. But then it has to be re-
memb bered that the salmon always sees
the shrimp from below, and this makes
all the difference. Some one writes to
{ the Field that one day when on his back
under water he was surprised to see
flashing overhead q number of brilliant
golden sparks, which, when he looked
