LITTLE woXEN.

In precious little stone
What splendor meets the eye!
In afittleiump ofsugar -
How much OF sweetness liesi
SO in a little woman
Love grows aud multiplies.
You recollect the proverb says:
"A word unto the WISE"
A pepper corn is very small,
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiInent,
Although it's sprinkled thinner;
Just 80 n little woman Is,
II love will let you win her,
There's not Joy in all the world
You will not find within her.
And as within the little rose,
You find the richest dyes.
And in little grain Of gold
Much price and value lies;
As from little balsan
Much odor doth arise
So In n little woman there's
4 taste Of paradise.
The skylark and the nightingale,
Though small and light of'wing,
Yet warble sweeter in the grove
Than all the birds that sing.
And so little woman,
Though very little thing,
Is sswseter far than sugar
And flowers that bloom in spring.
From, The Spanish

PENNSYLVANIA FISH.
THE HABITS or THE SALMON AMI
DAss--THE BAIT TO CATCH THEM
AND HOW 1T is SECURED
EXCITING SPORT.

The Conestoga and Susquebanna
rivers contain but twelve or thirteen
species OF fish, and o few kinds of
that number are pronounced by epi-
cureans to bo superior TO the best
found in any stream in the world.
Salmon are the leaders in all points
Of excellence, and although not orig
iual in these waters, having been
brought from California, they seem
TO thrive quite as well as the Other
stocker, the bass. ln the autumn,
when the water becomes cool, is the
time 10 rig up ROD eoj liue 10 0-attacE
these game fish. 1t is then they
leave the clumps Of grass in the
deep water, or move from under til,
lodges Of rocks, where they have
rested dormantly during summer, to
begin their voracious feeding.
Lampreys are conceded by all
fisherman to be the best bait thai
can be used for salmon. A lamprey
is an animal from two to seven inch
es long, shaped like su eel, with skin
and color identical with it, minus q
mouth, and has several parallel holes
on either side Of it's head They are
found in mud at shallow places sew
eral yards from the waters edge.
The mud is raised by scoop shovel
either upon platform attached to a
boat or carried to shore by wading ;
aud the digger must be pretty active
to secure them, for as soon as the
ground is disturbed they endeavoi
to wriggle out OF it to swim to Other
pastures. Sometimes as many as d
dozen can be caught in one shovel
ful.
Tho sunfsh is closely followed by
the catfish, if not too large, for Sec.
ond favor but they are both very
good b it. Minnows are considered
too small fry for salmon to tackle
The bait must be placed on the hool
without killing it, else it would bt
useless.
When the water is clear salmon
canuot be caught with anything OK
cept by hook ; they are too sly tt
enter set nets or the like. On moon
light nights more can DO captured
by outline than during the day
The largest salmon taken from thu
Susquehanna last season weighed
thirteen pounds, aud the heayies
yet reported balanced nineteen.
There is no more exciting spor
than drawing in salmon. They taxi
the bait the moment il is discovered
and do not wear ones patience b!
slow nibbling as bass do sometimes
A feb too large to be lifted from
the water by the rod should be let il
q minute or two, for after making
lew vigorous efforts to escape, the.
become so fatieued they can bo easi
ly landed by towing to shore or boat
Black bass have quite as many en-
emies as friends among fishermen
The former advance the argumen
that the bass ore clearing the stream
OF all othor fish, some Of which ar
every whit as good as their destroy
era.

Tie Queen City of the Southwest.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, April s, 1856.
Ed. Register.-In 1927 Springfield
was known only to a few brave pio-
neers who at that early day ventured
thus far west, and upon this beautiful
spot, with their log cabins, laid the
foundation of the Queen City Of the
Southwest. At that time there were
not the many destinations that are held
forth to-day. The soil was as product
i've as now; and nature in her lowell
ness was blooming everywhere; but
forests stood then where now stands
the town, and the woods rang with the
cries of the murderous Indian, while
the howls of the wild beast were as
common as the locomotive whistle of
to-day. The ':ten thousandh chimes
that greets their sons were then hid
beautifully, but securely, beyond the
visions of these brave men. They had
probably no idea of what a gift they
were to guarantee for their posterity.
In their brightest dreams they no
doubt faileu to see the beautiful man.
sions and large business buildings that
now have replaced their cabin homes;
yet by their industry they laid the
foundation, they cleared the fields and
allowed the sun of civilization to shine
in. The hardships endured, the tolls,
the dangers encountered by them,
would drive the average young man
of these days into secure hiding place.
Some would no doubt look upon the
scene with contempt and disdain AM.
feel that he was not created for the
like. But Springfield owes her glory
to these brave pioneers as much as
Rome ever owed her renown and
greatness to Romulus, and not to those
that now glorify in the lop of her pros
perity.
In 1885 Springfield was laid out into
streets, and by the county court Of
Green county was made the county
seat. in 1896 the nrst courthouse of
Southwest Missouri was erected at this
place at cost of $500. 1t was then
one of the best buildings in this por-
ton of the State, and reflected much
honor upon the country at large. Is
stood for s6 years through the most
prosperous reign of this nations his
tory, and went down in her darkest
hours.

in the face ofthe coal, an iron tube half
an inch in diameter, with small rrooye

have groove to fit the tube, are then i'm

tamped. A small force pump injects
through the tube quantity of water
equal in hulk to the lime. The water
escapes through the pertorations and

then closed by tap to prevent the es-

cracks the coal away from the roof, and
then follows the expansion of the lime.

REV. SAM JONES.
He Very Dryly Says He Has Been Lied
About.

From the Chattanooga Times.
Rev. Sam Jones and his cO-laborer, Sam
Small, arrived in the city last night on the
Alabama Great Southern train from Co
lumbus, Miss, where they have been hold
ing revival for "a week past. The two
evangelists took supper at Daugherty's
dining-roOm in the union depot, where
they were met by a reporter. Before the
scribe could open fire Mr.. Jones, with the
utmost nOnchalence, said:
"rhe newspapers have published lots
Of lies about me. The statement
telegraphed from Columbus that | had
abused the people and preachers is with
out any foundation. 1t was the most re-
markable meeting ever saw, and / just
fell in love with the good people OF Column
bus. just think OF it, there were 500 con-
versions in one week, and 800 persons
joined the different churches yesterday.
Please say that the sensational report in
reference TO an editor calling Mir. Small a
liar is lie. We did not hear OF it until
we saw it in some foreign papers. The
statement that said in Columbus that
these mulatto negroes that / see walking
your streets tell me that some OF you
mOralists are their fathers is correct,
and have no apologies to make"

There is working for him an old negro
