fishing party is being made up to go out
in double rig kindly loaned for the Oc-

essential to the enjoyment of the party.
a few days ago Dick Murnane, who is

"A party of choice spirits had agreed to
go out on fishing expedition, and that
the double rig of one of them had been
placed at their disposal. 'By the way"
said Murnane, there is the team now
standing in front of the corporation at
torney's office. Just go down and take
seat while | go up stairs in the city
hall for minute" There was Spien-
did outfit, including Silver-mOunted har-
ness on the pair of bays attached to the
Victoria indicated by the jOcular Dick,
and Ahern cOOlly enScounced himself
in the vehicle to await the arrival of the
rest of the eXcurSiOnists. Half an hour
passed, when, becoming impatient, he
inquired OF the driver where the deuce
the other fishermen were? To his sur
prise, the jehu, who had maintained a

Edward Langevin is an instance of
an uneducated mans ability to make
money fast, as well as count it rapidly.
Not long ago he sold piece of land for
$4,000, and then discovered that the
title was in the name of Corporation

Murray needed about 500 and sold the
land in question to Mr.. Langevin for
that sum, giving the new owner deed
for the land, which was in Dakota
county. When Mr.. Langevin under
could not find the deed on record. He
rushed down to Mr.. Murray's
Office and informed that astonished
official that he still owned the piece of
land that he had sold to his visitor some
years ago.
Mr.. Murray went up to Mr. LANCE
wins house, searched over his old pa
pers and discovered the missing docu-
ment. ''Oh.' calculated Mr.. Langevin,
''that's so; recollect it now l didn't
think it hardly worth recording at the
