Uncle Jenny Farris has started a
small fishery of his own. He adjures
nets and wheels and traps of all kinds
and simply uses moral suasion and
nothing else. He persuades the fish to
catch hold of small hook he has on the
end of a long line, and when the fish
shouts ssall ready" Uncle Jenny gently
lifts it out of the wet and strings it on a
stick. BY the size of his string the other
day we think Uncle Jenny must be
able to talk awful sweet to them.

saloon during the day. A carpenter
named Allen sleeps there during the
night and the thief cleaned out Mr..
Al:en's trunk in good shape.
