He Wouldn't Lie. New York Telegram.

At an uptown resort last night a reporter overheard a we'll know actor describe the fishing experience of a brother artist. He said that his friend went to one of the lakes of upper New York with as fine an outfit as there is in the whole north territory. He had split bamboo rods, book of the choicest flies a charming and well- stocked lunch basket, with 6 good sized fire extinguisher, with silver cup fitted over the bottom, and fish basket thst 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, refilled his fire extinguisher, and taking his best rod and book of flies started for 8 se- cluded part of the lake, where curious eyes might not be too inquisitive as to his luck. He saw a country lad with a straw hat and freckled face sitting on little dock away from the road, and as the little fellow already had a pretty good string of fish, did not hesitate to sit beside him and endeav- or to entice the fish away from that poor country boy. But somehow or other the five ounce rod and gaudy flies had no charm for those fish. They preferred the juicy garden worm that concealed the point of bent pin attached to string that dangled from 8 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 me3 don't seem to have any luck here."
 "Not at all" said the boy. It was Q cunning device of that wicked man to cheat the country boy out of his well-stocked hele, but it didn't seem to work, for the fish still followed the bent pin and spurxed the gaudy mor- sel offered by the giddy actor. Then the boy grew tired of fishing and gathered up his tackle, counted big string of speckled beauties, and, tying another knot in his single suspender, was about to start for home when the actor again spoke to him.
 "Little boy" said he "would you like to sell your fishw
 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 wasjust 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 I'll stand here, and you throw them over to me; then when I go back to the house can swear that caught them"

Don's Let Your Pants Bag.


 If there is one thing more than an- other that will disgust man it is to see his trousers begin to "bag" at the knees. Every man hates to see this, but to fastidious man the sight is almost unbearable. Better have a crumpled shirt or a shiny coat than "baggy" trousers. A pious man once observed that if men would only spend one-Aalf the time in saying their prayers that they spent in try inx to take the "kink out of their trouser- legs, heaven would be fuii of maies.=
 All this time spent in fretting and fuming can be avoided.
 Howl
 Every night when you remove your trousers spread them hat from front to rear, making the front fold turn on the first suspendcr button, and bring ing the front and rear crease in each leg together In such way that the inner seams In the leg will lie ono over the other. Then, having done this, make another fold just 1t the knee, and throw both legs back % that the bottom of the legs almost touch the waisthand just below the buttons. Then, lay the trousers away, and if posaible, place another pair upon them, or better still, . clean-surlaced board. Change as often a you can if you have several pairs, for trousers worn every day must get ont of shape.

LITERARY PRUDISHNEsS,

Editorial in N. o. Times Democrat.
 In discussing certain highly -spiced work of fiction that has drawn forth much comment, fiattering and other wise, Nym Crinkle remarks that the public welcomed it SO eagerly because they are weary of the prudishness and priggishness of 'genteel literature Following the same line of argument, . writer in BelforPs Magazine de- plores the excessive esqueamishness and mock-modesty of modern authors. Miss Murfree is accused of smoothing down the angularities of her mount aineers, to suit the taste of told maids in and out of petticoats," and Howells and James are urged to emulate Zola and Walt Whitman and not be so afraid of "being coarse" A few ex- tracts from the article in question will speak for themselves:
 We seek to be excessively nice, for. getting that we may be SO nice as to be nasty. The English people have added quite . number of skin diseases to the awful list of cutaneous disorders through over- bathing. To persistently wash tho natural oil from tho pores is to fetch on frightfnl erup- tions. Were Dickens alive now, and entering upon his wonder fnl career as an author. his books would be incontinently condemned as low and coarse. A New York mana ger of . leading theatre Mid that Shakespeare had ceased to be popular because of his vulgarity. . The day is not distant, as infldelity and refinement progress, when the Bible itself, like Shakespeare, will be pronounced coarse and vulgar, 60 much 50, indeed that an 'expurgated edition will be necessary. . But we must remember the fabled story of the demigod that in his death struggle gained strength from the earth to which he was cast. He came up dirtier, of course, but he came up stronger. WesAy then to the youthful author, do not bother yourself about tho dignity of your language or the nicety of your style. Study tho vulgar tongue; and If you have . thought 10 express, 70 word 1t that the massss may oomprshsnd.

Sam Word, Mr.. Burleighs said that sew
eral years ago he had meta certain gen
ius by that name-cOmmonly interpreted
"Slippery SAM" He had always heard
of him as one of the democratic heavy
weights of Montana; that he was the
democratic Goliath; that no ordinary per-
son could approach him; that he had sew
eral scalps, if not more, dangling from
his oratorical belt. He was Mr.. Clark 8
oracle. He exulted in saying that he had
raised the bristles on the back of Mr..
Carter, as we'll as Col. Sanders. This
man Word had made a bitter and cow
ardly attack Oh Col. Sanders, here in
Great Falls, last Monday night, when he
at the very moment we'll knew that the
colonel was six hundred miles away.
This was fighting at safe distance, and
wholly in keeping with Slippery Sans
cowardly, braggadocio character. Doubt
less Sam will have All opportunity OF
hearing from Colonel Sanders to his full
est satisfaction.
He closed by All earnest admonition to
the voters of Cascade county to stand by
the Hon. Thomas II. Carter for Montana's
delegate to congress, and the united
county ticket, and thus secure honest
intelligent representation at Washing
ton, good home administration, and
grand strides of progress for glorious
Montana.
