WHY HE DIDN'T Accept II

The Chicago Tribune tells good story
about an Illinois gentleman who, while

$4,000 per annum was offered one worth
$1,000 and refused the plum One day
he was met by friend and asked why
he did not accept the better place. II

ful summer day, went to the Saugamon
River to fish, for recreation, of course.
And had good. luck. l caught a nice
little string of 'croppies.' BY and by

was catflsh--and he was just ready to
swallow the bait. To all intents and
purposes he was ny meat. Just then !
noticed fine pike nosing around among
the weeds and grass that were growing
up out Of the water close to the shore.
II there is anything do like it is having
a battle with pike, They are so strong
and quick, and tax an anglers skill in
such a way that it is real pleasure to
land one after long struggle. So /
pulled my hook away from the catfish
that might say was mine, and dropped
it down squarely in front of the nose of
the pike"
Here he paused as though his story
was ended
"Well, did you land the piko?" asked
the other
'That pike l never got" was the re-
ply. He sailed away without paying
the least attention TO the bait. then
tried for the catfish. He had also re-
tired. Worse than that, confounded
gar had happened along and ate up what
fish ! had already caught. Yes; am
fond of pike, but have never turned up
my nose at a catfish since then"

friend smiling. "What do you use now

l should always like to have you with

how devoted and attentive to him still.

A CHRISTMAS SUNG.

II came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song Of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
"Peace on earth. goodwill 10 men
From Heavens all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloycn skies they conc,
=, With peaceful wings unfurlcd;
And still their Heavenly mnsic floats
Der all the weary world;
Above its sad and lonely plains
They bend on lowering wing,
And ever DER its nobel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
Rut with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strains have rolled
TWO throusand years Of wrong;
Aud man, at war with man, hears not
The lovc-song which they bring;
Oh. hash the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toll along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly Oh the wing;
o h, Test beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
For 10, the days are fastening on.
BY prophct-bards foret0ld
When, with the eycr-circling years,
Come round the age OF gold;
When Peace shah over all the earth
Its ancient sp'endOrs fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

A Fresno man was describing the
grape prospects in that section. "The
vineyards are looking flne," he said,
but people down there weren't talking
much about grapes when left"
"What was the topic Of the hour
then?"
Swans, sir; Forsyth's swans. Ever
been to Forsyth's place? No; well, it
is PRETTY place, everything as nice as
can be, and the snuggest little artificial
lake you ever saw. Now, FORSYTH
thought that pair of swans would set
off that lake well, or that lake would set
off the swans. Anyhow, he bought a
pair of beauties, just imported from
Australia, paid $40 for the pair, think ;
black swans, and no finer in the coun-

thought they would feel at home there,
Last Wednesday fellow walked into
the Grand Central Hotel, in Fresno,
kept by Fult Berry.
DO you want to buy fine pair of
wild geese?' says he: they're a variety
not often seen here. l shot 'em yester-
day as they were flying over the road,'
and he pulled ForSyth's swans out of his
sack. He had cut of their heads, but
anyhow, l don't think Berry would
have known the difference. Well,
Berry gave him dollar apiece for them,
and went around the hotel blowing
about the fine dinner he was going to
give that evening. He invited Miller,
of the Republican, to come and eat with
him, and write up the geese.
"You never saw such big pair in
your life says Berry. "Tm having
them stuffed with sage and onions. l
tell you what don't know about keep
ing hotel amt worth knowing. l pick
up everything good to eat l can get my
eyes on, do"
He went on blowing this way, and
when the game was put on the table
Berry stuck knife into one, because
hc decided to carve them himself. 1t
turned to the edge, the breast did, and
Berrybegan to feel sort of Uncomfortable.
81 guess they're little tough" he
said, making another slash at them.
They're too big for geese" says
Miller, 81 bet they're turkey buzzards.
What color were they before they were
plucked?"
BLACK, says Berry" black as a sloe. +"
Then, by heaven, they're Forsyth S

it, and | guess the jury viii bring in

to his hotel to write FORSYTH about the
fate of his costly pets.
