A True Fish Story.

Nearly year ago Fisherman W. T.
Van Dyke, while pursuing his occupa-
ton off shore, invitingly threw out a
fishing line with two well-baited hooks.
Presently there was ierk-the bait
had took" Van Dyke was hauling in
hand over hand, when suddenly the
tension ceased, and the line was grace
fully and adroitly whisked into the
boat minus both hooks.
Last fall Mr.. Van Dyke in emptyine
one of his pounds" of his overnight
catch, discovered among his captives q
"pig" fish and sea bass united by q
bit of fishing cord, which he readily
identified as his own. A hook had
penetrated the jaw of each fish, and,
becoming imbedded there, the flesh
had grown around their barbs and thus
securely fastened them in position.
Thus held together for nearly twelve.
month they had coursed the briny in
double team, held by single twine,
till death cut their thread of life in
twain.
The skeletons of this curious pair OF
accidental Siamese twins, together
with the hooks and line which consti.
tuted their sole domestic tie, now
adorn the walls of the fish house OF

brilliant social events that have ever
shone in American society. The house
was part of the old Frelinghuysen es-
tate. The interior has been remodeled
to very great extent, and cost good
many thousands of dollars. The par
lor is charmingly furnished, the pre-
vailing tone being rather dark. Etch-
ings, engravings, and bric-a-brac fill
odd hooks and spaces, but the most
beautiful pictures are where they
should be-in the art gallery.
Her home and charity are Mrs.
Wanamaker's chief pleasures in life.
Although judicious through the force
of the very instinct which prompts her
gifts, she annually gives away great
deal of money directly or indirectly to
the poor of Philadelphia. The chief
characteristic of the woman is tact, a
trait which, everything considered, she
possesses in most remarkable degree.
A story is told of Mrs. Wanamaker
which clearly illustrates this attribute.
Mr.. Wanamaker met one day man
whom he had known in years gone by
and to whom he desired to show some
courtesy, so he invited him to call on
Mrs. Wanamaker. Now, this old friend
was primitive in his ways and rather

the negroes that the devil-the old
personal fellow himself--had made
his appearance in the community. He
first made himself known by leaping
over the fence into the county road,
snatching up horse that belonged to
a highly respected citizen and pulling
the animal in two. The next occasion
of the old mans introduction was at q
hog-killing. He seized shoat, knocked
down justice of the peace with it.,
swallowed q chunk of fire and then
went shouting through the woods.
Shortly after reaching the neighbor-
hood l learned that all the reports
could be traced to negro preacher, an
old fellow who was regarded with ex-
treme veneration. l called on him and
found him in the woods engaged in
prayer.

Laid Over One Train.

Put down room No. 50 to be called
in time for the A 80 train in the morn
ing," he said, as he leaned gracefully
over toward the night clerk of Mis-
sissippi hotel.
Case of life and death ?" queried the
clerk.
"Why, no; but I want to get to Jack
son before noon."
Hadn't you better wait for the 9 80
train ?"
"What is it to you?"
Nothing but the excitement and
muss, and I shall probably have to
testify at the Coroner's inquest"
"I-I don't exactly catch on"
"Come up stairs, please"
When they had assembled to the first
sleeping floor the clerk continued:
This is room No. 2S, as you see.
There are five bullet holes in the door.
Man in here last week wanted to be
called for that early train. Boom No.
30 has seven bullet holes, but those
stand for two men. This new piece in
the carpet here is where man fell and
bled to death. Down here"
"But who kills off these guests ?"
asked the traveller.
"Oh, the other guests. As soon al
the niger comes up and knocks and
bawls out, Col. Shaw, who has No. 80,
reaches for his shotgun. Over in No
30 Judge Havens slips out with his
revolver. Major Brooks, who is in
No. 33, always comes in a good third
with Derringer, and the rest of the
fellows along the hall are always more
or less well heeled. We don't care sc
much about the niger. as niggers are
mighty cheap around here, but there
must be an inquest on the body of the
white man, and"
"Did 1 say call me for the 4 80 train p

Showing His Sympathy.

A fourteen-year-old boy went into his
mothers presence with one eye black,
his lips swollen, and ragged scratch
across his cheek, the blood from which
he had wiped off on his shirt sleeve.
"Nicodemus, cried the parent, as he
sneaked in, "have you been fighting

"Nope," he sullenly grunted.

Along about the middle of the coach
was young lady, not beautiful girl,
but just ordinary, although she had a
very jaunty hat and a sealskin sacque.
A young man got on at CASTLE, who
stood at the door and looked the pas
sengers over for minute or two, and
he then walked deliberately down the
aisle and pumped himself down beside
the girl. AS he did so there was o
crash and crush and he sprang up to
discover that he had sat down upon @
