Cunning for Microbes.

The firing of cannon as a method
of destroying the yellow fever germs
in the atmosphere, which has been
so extensively practiced down in
Jacksonville during the prevalence
of the disease there, has very justly
excited the ridicule of intelligent
sanitarians, who long ago discarded
this plan of fighting epidemics.
This old-fashioned notion seems to
be popular in Florida, however, as
is indicated by the reported remark
of the Jacksonville darkey, who
ran upon one of the guns the other
day. 1t was suddenly discharged,
throwing a shower of sand in his
face. "GollyE' quoth Sambo, ''just

he WOULDN'T LIE.
How a New York Actor Caught" q
Mess Of Fish.

At an uptown resort last night
reporter overheard weli-known
actor describe the fishing expert
ence Of brother artist. He said
that his friend went to one Of the
lakes of uppe: New York with as
fine an outfit as there is in the whole
north territory He had split bam-
boo rods, book of the choicest
flies, charming and well-stocked
lunch basket, with good-sized fire
extinguisher, with silver cup fitted
over the bottom, and a fish basket
that any trout should feel proud to
occupy. .
The morning after his arrival at
the hotel he donned his fishing suit,
hung his lunch basket on one side
and his fish basket on the other,
retilled his fire extinguisher, and
taking his best rod and book OF
flies. started for secluded part OF
the lake, where curious eyes might
not be too inquisitive as to his luck.
lie saw country lad with a straw
hat and freckied face sitting on
little dock away from the road, and
as the little fellow already had
pretty good string of fish, did not
hesitate to sit beside him and en-
,leavor to entice the fish away from
that poor country boy. But some
now or other the tive-ounce rod and
the gaudy flies had no charm for
those fish. They preferred thejui'y
garden worm that concealed the
point Of bent pin attached. to the
string that dangled from a freshly
cut alder stick in the hands of that
freckled urchin Of the farm.
Presently he said Little boy,
would you mind changing places
with me? don't seem to have any
luck here"
"Not at ALL" said the boy. 1t
was cunning device OF that wicked
man to cheat the poor country boy
out of his well-stocked hole. But
it didn't seem to work, for the fish
still! followed the bent pin and
spurned the gaudy morsel offered
by the giddy actor Then the boy
grew tired Of fishing and gathered
up his tackle, counted a big string
of speckled beauties, and, tying
another knot in his single suspen-
der, was about to start for home
when the actor again spoke to him.
"Little boy" said he, would you
like to sell your fish,"
Don't mind" was the laconic
reply.
How much?"
Dollar"
"All right" and the crisp green
back was transferred to the little
country boys pocket. He was just
going to hand them to his customer,
when that good man again spoke
and said:
"No, no, little boy. Don't hand
them to me, but just stand where
you are and II! stand here, and you
throw them over to me; then when
I go back to the house can swear
that I caught them. New York

rupteI by the entrance Of a young dorkey
in searGbe of a marriage license. He was
apSqnpa1ied LY1A5 hest man. When told
the fee for issuing the paper he demurred
greatly.
Dat gal amt with that much, ledge"
he exclaimed.
He tried 70 beat him down in the price,
but the Judge was inexOrable. He didn't
think it was fair to have only one charge
for the rich and the poor, but he tumbled at
last. lie had forgotten the name of his in
tended, and had TO apply to his best man for
the information Tie motherly old soul,
whose case had been interrupted by their
entrance was very indignant whel the
prospective groom stated that his bride was
not worth the price of a license, and called
him trining rascal, and made other similar
remarks derOgatOrY to his character and
appearance, and hal to BE- quoted.
Next a young white man mysteriOuSly
called the Judge outside, and in a COnnden-
tial tone-but in a whisper that could be
heard half way around the court house
plaza-inquired ii he could not marry again
without having to procure divorce from
his present wife
The next young negro that applied for a
license was asked by Mr.. Odomif he thought
his girl was worth that much. Yes, sab
and a heap more, sab" he replied, as be
promptly planked down the fee.
