Another Good Fish Story.

According to The Albany Journal an AL
banian, noted for his love of sport no less than
Or 81 his veracity, tells the following story Of
days fishing: II had had bad luck all day
and was about starting for home. was
little absentminded, thinking over the good
sport usually had, and before knew what
was about had cast OFF from both oars
that had jabbed in the mud for stakes and
was drifting down Lake Tomoset with pros
pect Of five mile walk before me. Imadea
cast with my line, in hopes to fasten on the
nearest oar and recover it, but the hook fell
short by yard. Imagine my surprise when
the biggest pickerel ever saw snapped at my
hook and took it was working him easy,
for had only cheap, stiff pole and was
nightly afraid I'd lose him, when down
came huge fish hawk as big as an eagle and
grabbed my fish. I kept hold the pole though,
and when the bird got to the end Of my line
as he was flying of with his prey he was
fetched up short. Then he put for the head
of the lake, still keeping the fish in his talons,
and pulling me and the boat after him. 1t
was mean thing to do, perhaps, but when
he got me to shoal water pulled out my pis-
tol and shot him. He fell plump into the
water, but he was only winged, and as
didn't care to have fight with him he got
OFF in the rushes And the fish, you askl Oh.
be got away, too; the biggest one 1 ever saw.
I think he was two feet long"

Houses in the Country.

Your true countryman is seldom "tem-
perance man" in the matter Of sunlight aud
shade He is either a ''teetotaler" or a con-
6rraed tippler. His house is exposed, in the
one case, to all the fervor Of the summer
sun lard all the fury of the summer thunder
Storm, or, in the other, it is hedged about
and arched over by plantation of trees 50
dense as to exclude even the vertical rays OF
the nconday sun Of the two extremes |
prefer the former. The nercilessly exposed
walls appeal less agreeably to the eye, but
they better please the sense of what Is right
and wrong from hygienic point OF view.
Nothing is less picturesque than house in
the country without n tree beside it, but
nothing is less healthful than one that cannot
be seen for the density of the grove that sur
rounds it. But there is a happy medium be-
tween tho wall that is warped by the direct
rays Of the summer sun and one that presents
q Inildewed face to the level beams OF sunset,
and it is the happy medium of temperance
that one should try to strike in this as IN
other matters-The Critic.

He Recognized the Town.

II tell you l had narrow escape

''Worse than that l was about to in

found that had taken $3.50 he kicked.
l tried to hold him, but it was no use.
He opened court on me, fined me 5000,
and then go5bled on to the $50 on the
excuse that he had let me off light.
''But the town may be all right now" i"
That's it, you know. Same man is
Mayor now, aud he had got his hair
dyed, his teeth filled, and changed the
name of the town on purpose to catch
some of US again. If I'd bought those
lots he'd have waited until the money
was paid and the deeds passed, and then
pulled me in and yelled:
I" Same man that beat the City Trca-
surer of Topeka on the gold brick racket.
Bought seven lots, eh? / want straight
deeds to five for not giving you up to

sci fee for advising you how to get out

Beating the Circus-

Whether what would be stealing under
some circumstances becomes only smart
piece of work under others, IS the question
that arises in reading the accounts Of some
recent transactions One Of these, which
may serve as an example Of al, is thus re-
ported: A boy while attending circus was
struck by stone flung from the ring BY q
horses hoof and got a black eye but no seri-
Gus hurt. With the aid Of lawyer the
property Of the company was attached and
warrant got out for the arrest Of the mana.
ger unless he paid good sum for damages.
Being unable to stop to contest the suit, q
fact that was probably considered when the
demand was made, the circus proprietor
compromised by paying about $500, which the
boy and his lawyer divided. Whether their
feelings were similar to those Of the sharpels
len dividing the spoils filched from some
innocent stranger is not recorded. 1t is true
that many times the fakirs who follow the
circuses get even with the public, but it sci.
dom or never happens that they get back the
money extorted from the show, and often
these outside sharpers have no connection
with the regular company, which is in nc
wise responsible for them. And besides, two
wrongs do not make aright.-Lewiston Jour.

a Difference in Girls.

Florida girls are not like their Alabama
sisters, for the former abhor slang. But for
downright emphasis Of expression and that
brev;ty which is the soul Of wit, they yield
the palm to no other state.
Several weeks ago a number Of brave
young men and beautiful women from the
interior came in on an excursion. A small
knot of the visitors were walking leisurely
through the park when the following conver-
sation was overheard between two Of the
visitors 1t is reported verbatim, though it
is impossible to reproduce the drawing, earn.
est tone in which it was delivered.
"Sal," asked one, displaying the folds OF
her new dress and taking sly hitch at her
hustle; Sal, how do my dress fit7
FINGERS and toes couldn't better it"
do John seem ter notice it,"
Cant keep his eyes often it,"
,'Do my hustle shake about anyf'
''Shakes just like jelly, replied Sal, as they
proceeded on their way with an air Of tri-
urrph indescribable. - Birmingham (AlaJ
