not far off, to it, and Immediately it
seemed to throw him into the greatest
excitement. He sang out, "Eulachon ~
as loud as he could, and in few mo-
ments at least fifty men were on the
beach launching their canoes. There
was SO much confusion that could not
learn what was the matter, but / tum-
bled into one of the canoes, and off we
went
There were two men in all the boats
but ours, / making third. One sat in
the stern and padded, while the other
stood in the bow with curious instru-
ment in his hand that until now / had
not observed. 1t looked like an enor-
nous rake, or comb, made of piece of
pine at least eight feet long, with hole
for grip at the top, the lower part
thinning off to an edge, into which was
driven sharp iron or bone teeth, from
three to four inches apart, so that the
weapon resembled a great comb held
by the back. The ripple had seen on
the water was an enormous school of
fishes, and to surround them now
seemed to be the chief object.
The canoes were swiftly padded out
until they were all upon the outside,
and then they rushed at them full speed,
each man welding his comb-like scoop
and dashing it into the sparkling mass
that cleaned like silver, and at every
stroke, so thick were the fishes. that
the teeth of the comb came up covered
with their impaled forms. These were
quickly jerked into the boat and another
dash made, and SO on until the school
was finally driven in shore, where the
excited natives leaped into the water,
knee-deep in the throng, and fairly
scooped them into their canoes, where
their vivid phosphorescence made them
look like molten gold. The school
seemed so terrified and demoralized
that they Rugged the shore, and if the
men had nets instead of those outland-
ish combs, they could have captured
millions where they only took thou
sands. The boats were rapidly filled,
however, and in an hour the excitement
was over and the canoes were hauled
by the exhausted fishermen upon the
beach, NaturalistS Story.

Low Rates to Inauguration Ceremonies
at Washington.

Mr.. E. A. Ford, General Passenger
Agent of the Pennsylvania lines, west of
Plttsburg, announces the following low
first class rates for tickets over the Penn
sylvania lines to Washington and return,
on the occasion of President Cleveland's
Inauguration, March 4th, next.
The original rates proposed by Mr.. Ford
for this purpose were considerably less than
these, but because of determination on the
part of his competitors that higher rates
should prevail the figures named below
were finally adopted as compromise:
From Chicago to Washington and return,
$40.
Solid trains of coaches and Pullman
sleeping cars will be run to Washington
over the Pennsylvania lines from their
various termini in the West, and Mr.. Ford
assures us that the standard of excellence
in all that pertains to the transportation and
care of their patrons, for which these lines
are already famous, shall be fully main
tanned on this occasion.
For particulars, address G. W. Adams.

Times Change.

Forty years ago no man with mus
tache could have been elected Presi-
dent. In those days the mustache was
considered undignified If not immoral,
and a man who sported one was looked
upon with suspicion. 1t was the badge
of the adventurer, gambler and the
rake In the estimation of many good
people. A mustache like Cleveland's
would have imperiled the chances of
the most popular candidate in the
country, and Logan's would have caused
an absolute stampede to the other
party. Bloomington Eue.

ByrOn's Tomb.

Byron, when owner of Newstead Alb
hey, built tomb In which he wished
to be buried, but at the time ofhis death
the property had passed into the hands
of his old schoolmate, Col. Wildmnn.
AS the little, square-towered stone
church at Hucknall Torkard, three
poet attended church when lad. it
seemed appropriate that here his mortal
remains should be placed This was
done July IL, 1924.
When the writer of this visited the
church some ten years since, he noticed
q wreath of leaves upon the wall above
the poets tomb, and recalled this note
from the poem. Burns and Byron" by
joaquin Miller: "The day before my
departure for Europe last summer, a
small party sailed out of the beautiful
sea-front of Saucelito, lying in the
great Bay of San Francisco, forever
green its crown of California laurel !;
and there the fairest hands of the
youngest city of the new world wove q
wreath of bay for the tomb of Byron.
/ brought it over the Rocky Mountains
and the seas, and placed it above the
dust of the soldier poet as desired"
The humorous old sexton, in reply to
q question asked concerning the history
of the wreath, said: "An American
poet who admired Byron very much
brought. it from his country, and, with
permission of the rector, placed it there
himself. The rector's daughter, who
did not think highly Of Lord Byron,
wanted the wreath removed. and her
father said: If you take it down, you
may but the daughter did not like
laddersl So it remains" The closing
lines of the poem referred to are:
Nosign of cryptic stone or cross
Unto the passing world has said
He died and we deplore his loss.
No sound of sandaed pilgrims tread
Distnrbs the pilgrims peaceful rest,
Or frets the proud. impatient breast.
The bat fits through the open pane,
The black, swift swallow theirs moss,
And builds in peace above his head,
Then goes then comes and builds again.
And Il IL well. not otherwise
Would he the Grand. sad singer, will.
The serene peace OF paradise
He sought-'tis hs-the storm is still
Secure IN his eternal fam
And blended pitr aud respect,
He does not feel the cold neglect,
And England does not lear the shame.

A House-Building Fish.

In Lake Nyassa, in the far interior
of Africa, is kind of black fish which
every year builds what the natives call
"a house." In the mud at the bottom
of the lake it makes hole some two or
three feet broad, allowing the earth re-
moved from the hole to form little
wall around it. The depth of the hole
and the height of the wall, measured
together, make a small basin from
fifteen to eighteen inches deep. In
this little lake within a lake the fish
feels secure from all enemies, and very
quietly keeps house until the eggs are
laid, when it becomes restless and
leaves the house as q nursery for sue
cessors, when it roams about again at
will

A story having gone the rounds that
ople Head, the humorist of the Arkan-
saw Traveller, began his journalistic
career under Cowles, of the Cleveland
Leader, and that the latter had no ap-
precation of humor, Mr.. Read comes to
the defense Of his old employer:
Il was employed by the Leader Com
pany to do humorous writing, sd my
sad attempts at wit must have made the
old gentleman's hair stand up like the
excited tooth-picks on the back of the
agitated porcupine. One day, calling
me. he said: Look here, wish you
wouldn't write any more sketches in the
negro dialect. Many of our prominent
colored citizens have become offended.
Can't you write some other kind of
humorY
@'Yes, SIR
All right; see that you do
Several days later he sent for me.
Look here, said he, Il wish you'd drop
that German dialect. You don't under
stand German, do youY
@'No sir.
"Well, then, don't try to write it. I'd
much rather you would attempt En-
glish. We can't afford to offend our
German citizens
"'All right, SIR
"a few days afterward, he came to me
and gave me few more lines of advice,
which found me enjoying the same bless
ing.
"'Look here; notice that you have
taken up the Irish dialect. Were you
ever in Ireland?
"'No, SIR
Then don't try to write Irish. An
other thing wish to say. In writing
up the bakers strike, YOU headed the
article ION the Loaf" What did you
mean by thatY
"'W'y, that was joke"
so was told, but took the paper
home with me and studied the question
pretty thoroughly, but 1 can't see where
the joke comes in. 1 must compliment
you, though, on one article That one
headed "The Widows Last Biscuit, ("
was one of the most laughable pieces of
description,I ever read
wy, Mr.. Cowles, that was pa
thetic article
~"That so? L thought it was funny.
Say, can't you fix it some way so / can
distinguish your humor from your pa
thos? 1t is embarrassing to be con-
stantly in doubt. Fun must be hilarious.
There must be no mistake about it-no
room for conjecture. Your sketches
are all very well in their way-they
show much hard work; what an effort
it costs you to enable the compositors
to read them, but it strikes me that
there is something lacking. Some peo-
pie say that 1 have no idea of fun.
This is mistake. Didn't laugh the
other day when Perdue fell down stairs
OF course / did. don't want you to
think that / am hard to please, for /
am not, but if you want to make me
laugh you must write something funny.
You seem to have brought gloom along
with you. Can't you shake off the de-
spondency which seems to be clinging
to your garments? think that you
have made mistake in your calling.
This very minute you ought to be an
undertaken. You would make an ex-
cellent hand to lift heavy metallic cases.
/ have just told Perdue to pay you up.
/ think you'd better go back to Arkan-
sas. am sorry that we must part SO
soon. Good-by,' and turning around
with pleasant smile he discharged
the city editor and begged the base ball
reporter to throw down his pencil and
seek the fresh air of the country"
