TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

A telegraphic despatch to a New
York paper says that revolt of the
democratic masses of Vermont against
the dictatorship of Hiram Atkins has
begun. 1t declares that IA circular has
been issued to democrats in every town
post offices and asking whether the APP
pOintments have been in accordance
with the wishes of the majority of the
democratic voters in the several COM
munities, and requesting the name of
the person through whose influence
unsatisfactory appointments have been
made.
This movement, it is said, has been
engineered by prominent democrat,
who expresses the determination when
the required information shall have
been secured, of organizing a revolt at
the next state convention which shall
rid the party of its boss. The aggres
sive faction asserts that many post of
fee appointments have been secured
solely through influence with Atkins.
Inquiry among local democrats goes
to show that nothing has been seen OF
the circular up this way. Private let
ters have been received by leading
democrats, however, that practically
cover the points noted. In the light OF
past events it would seem as though
the whole business was too good to be
true. Anyhow, it all furnishes an adj
mirable text for the courageous demo-
such there are, to work out.
Meanwhile Atkins arrogance is Gre
ating attention outside the state. The
Springfield Republican treats this small
subject in short editorial. There is a
great deal in the Republicans sugges-
ton that the figure which Mr.. Atkins
popular respect for the administration.
Nermonters of all political shades are
pretty generally willing to give Mr..
Cleveland credit for the good work he
has done. But in Vermont he seems
to have turned the state over to Atkins
bag and baggage. 1t is edging along
toward the time when democrats and
independents, as well as republicans,
should begin to look into the Presi-
dents motive and intent in handing
over whole states to such fellows as
Atkins. Four years of such work as is
now going on will make cleveland
men" pretty scarce in Vermont.

Fish That Take Ballast

That fish should ever do ANYTHING
so unlishlike rs to take in ballast
would strike many people as paradox
ical. Yet those who have gone to sea
in ships and are learned in the fin
bearers lore testify to the reality of
this phenomenon. The cod is the
fish that lays himself open to this cruel
charge, and is known to actually gulp
down stones almost as large as foot
ball, and more than one OF them, too.
Why it does SO n reporter learned
from q veteran codiisherman recently.
"Why, yes," said he, .sof course cod
fish take in ballast. Why, I've found
eight or ten stones inside the tiishs
nav after we've caught him. The
cod takes in stone III order to keep him
at the bottom during a gale. When
you are cod-tishing you can always tell
if there is to be a gale or whether a
gale has just passed that way. Then
you get IN a regular quarry. A good
gale, of course, carries the cod up to
the surface; where he has hard time
of It, You sec there is sort of blad-
der which forms in his jaw and runs
out sometimes rs far as u foot or so.
This bladder ills with air and floats
the fish and keeps him from going
down. So in order TO prevent til at he
picks out sound stones from the sea
bottom and swallows them. Sea ele-
plants do tho Same thing, and often
huge stones are found III thoir stom-
achs."
How is cod caught?' the reporter
aske d.
'.rhey are caught on trollers.
There is long line-a runner fish
ermen call it-and at every Ii or Is
feet short line, 5 or 6 feet long, is
| fastened. l used to have on my run
pers rs many as 300 hooks baited. The
line would be baited on board ship, and
the whole 'snood' would be coiled up
into tube tapering toward the bot
tom, SO as to give the line play. The
coiling is very important, and you
must take great care with it, so rs moi
to snarl the lines. For bait, dogtish
whitciish and such like, in chunks

once took place between us.
"First was friend TO you. Joan,

future may bring still further changes.
that you may grow to care for me-if
only little?"
"Not Mt all. Hart | say impetu-
ously, laying both hands in his.
Never n little for care TOR you
more than that now. 1t is true, Hart,
and | have known it ever since you
took otlense at me and punished me
for my Indifference by staying away.
1t was a punishment, and through
missing you first learned how much,
very much, dearer than either friend
or brother you were to NO."
SO. after all, | am married before
my beautiful cousin, much to every
ones surprise.
Ethel vows she will be an old maid
that she has lost all confidence in
the truth and honor of tho other sex
Hart being excepted. But girls have
vowed that before, and eighteen is
prone to rash prophecies.
1t is good, rs l have found il, to
have q friend in need; but it is better
still, rs find it every day l live, to
have a true-hearted husband, within
the shelter of whose love earthly ills
lose half their sting, and joys seem all

One day, several years ago. while AID.
Olson was sitting in his 'garrety" roam
revising his Cato, he received the follow.
ing note from Dick Steele:
my darling Addison: am in that
cavity profanely known as Gehenna's
excavation. My morning hours are dis
turbed by collectors and my evening mo
ments are made harsh by the footsteps OF
the man owe. Addison, we have always
been good friends am a wbig and ysu,

press it-but can't you help me out of

Addison had but little money. In
fact he owed the grocer, the barber and
the candlestick manipulation. but he
pawned his gold spurs, his richly orna-
mented sword his silver, tea-pot-his all
and raising a hundred pounds, sent the
sum to his distressed friend. Several
days afterwards, when Addison found
himself in Steele's neighborhood, he de-
cided to 20 up and see il there was any
other way in which he could help his
poor friend.
A he approached the door leading in.
to Steele's room, he heard music and
dancing and sounds only BETTING the
abode of those who felt the weight of
many nickels, but halting not, he showed
open the door and entered. Steele.

bucks stood around, aud upon the whole
the scene was one of fashion and ex.

tered, Steele. who had been turning the
crank OF a musical instrument. arose and
said:
"Hah, here is Mr.. Addison. We are all
glad to see him. Addison, how do Won
find yourself?"
Addison was disguised. He looked al
the table, loaded with ham ssnwiches
and said:

mistreated Dick Steele.
