HE WAS TOO GOOD.

HIS PhIIsnthrOpic Efforts Came from ar
Anxious Heart, But
There was a stout, heshy woman
among the passengers on a Staten Island
ferryboat the other day, and she sat
close to the rail and kept her eyes fixed
on the water in vacant sort OF stare.
There might have been something in her
face TO cause suspicion that she con-
teinplated suicide, but if 50, only one per-
son saw 1t. He was an old man with a
hat box on a stool close beside him, and
after carefully watching the woman
through his steel bowed spectacles for a
time, he ventured to observe:
"It's an awful thing for human bein
20 take his own life"
She looked up at him in a puzzled
way, and he felt encouraged to con-
tinue:
"rve had lots of trouble in my time.
but never thought of suicide. Ny way
was always to keep up my pluck"
She looked at him again and wondered
IL he were addressing her, and he ten
derly observed:
"There hain't no trouble in this world
that you can't overcome if you set out
TO-"
care you speaking to me, sir?' she
now demanded.
"Yes. was saying that it would be
z good deal better to brace right up than
it would be to commit suicide"

"why you-you kinder looked all
broke mp, and-and"-
Look here, you old coot!' she snapped
as she turned on him; "you attend to
your own business, or it will be the
worse for youl The idea Of an old codger
with one foot in the grave not having
any more sense than to make fool of
himself in public"
He went away in such hurry that he
forgot his hat box. l hunted for him
and finally found him on the bow of the
boat.
Much obleeged," he said as l gave
him his box "Did you hear what that
woman said?"
YES"
"Wall, she can jump over and drown
herself forty times for all / carel She
called me a coot and codger. | hain't

Sayl never struck a man in all my
life, but IL that woman's husband was
here I'd walk mp to him and I'd haul off
and I'd knock him 80 'tarnal fur into

In his excitement he knocked the hat
box off the camp stool and a small canta-
loupe and four sausages strung together
rolled on the deck. Everybody began
to litter and chuckle, and he picked up
the things and tossed them overheard,
chucked the hat box after them and went
down stairs, saying:

the old boat blow up besides, and | won't

rAea AND NOW
At One Time There was Good Fishing IN
Mackay's Lake Near Ottawa

Al One Time There Was Good Fishing IN
Maokay's Lake Near ottawa
Mackay's lake lies about two miles
from the center Of the city of Ottawa,
aud about half a mile from the bank
Of the OTTAWA river II is a small body
~ clner wafer. with uarl bottom in
which pole ',iglit be- easily pushed
dosn. apparently to any distance
When the writer was boy Of ten
years OF age he went one Saturday
afternoon to this lake 10 fish. There
was feither boat nor canoe on the lake
and we were for time at a standstill
However. one Of the larger boys of the
party had fortunately brought an AZ
and an auger.
Three or four good sized cedars were
soon felled. and a float was rapidly
constructed. upon which we quickly
embarked and started ont to try our
luck. We had lots of live minnows
with us. and after some difficulty man
AGED TO shove down a pole about
twenty feet long into the mud, which
as there was no current, kept the float
stationary We then baited onr hooks
and cast in the lines. when there was q
rapid rush of large pike all around
There were FIVE in the party, and for
two hours they were all kept busy hau'
ing in the pike.
The fish ran from two to five and -
pounds in weight. and it may be read
ily imagined that we were all heavily
laden on our slow march honewar3
The lake had never been tished ia be
fore. and as a consequence il was alive
with fine fish At the time speak of
there were no sawmills here and no
trees cut away on the banks Of the
Grand river, as it was then called.
Consequently the water was pnre and
clear. and the shores were replete with
scenes of beauty unsurpassed in mag
nificence.
Another feature OF the beautiful
little lake had almost forgotten. Our
cedar float had not been long moored
when a crowd of black water snakes,
about three feet long, came from all
sides and boarded our craft. Not hav-
ing much love for this unwelcome ad- !
dition to our party, | laid my rod aside !
and. with good, heavy stick. com
menced the slaughter. am certain
that must have killed over fifty of the |
unwelcome intruders during the even
ing. At present a solitary snake may |
be seen in this lake occasionally, and
the fish are almost as scarce there now
as the snakes.
By means of creek between Mack !
avs lake and the Grand river the lake
had been stocked with fish from the I
river during the high water in spring |
There are. however, few fine pike in !
it yet, which can be caught either with
a minnow or metal troll The woods
around Mackay's lake in old times
were full of deer, ruffed grouse and
pigeons and in the adjacent cedar
swamps, which have nearly all disap-
peared, hares and foxes were abundant.

There is no reason why a church
wedding should not be even more pri-
vate than a home wedding have
performed large number of weddings
in church and strangers have never in
truded. In some of the New York
churches large fees are demanded. A
friend of mine recently applied to the
sexton and undertaken of one of the
leading New York Episcopal churches
for the terms" of a church wedding
Fifty dollars for opening the church
for an undress wedding and 800 for a
dress wedding, fifty dollars for the or
ganist, and whatever you value your
bride at for the rector. was the under
takers reply.
This of course was a coffin makers
view of the matter, but am afraid it
is the popular estimate of fashionable
church wedding. 1t would cost less
and be more fashionable TO cross the
ocean and get married at st. Georges

A VILLAGE POOH BAH.
~. trp.rience Of Reporter In sum
van County settlement

van County Settlement
rsnorter seeking information OF a
..--,or resident visited Oakland valley
snllivan county, the other day WINE
araiting the Monticello train at Port
Iervis the reporter inquired OF group
- ,a,,nr,a,-s where he would be most
likely to obtain the required Inl"r'i'a
ton.
"When you set of the tr;un' s''.'

cor the postmaster. In those httie
villages the postmaster knows every
body's business, -" suggested a third.
~ Take the little path down the NH
and you'll come to a sawmill. ASK the
boss. " was the next suggestion ana IT
was followed by this;
There's only one storekeeper IN the
village; ask him. -,
The last one was, "Old Ben Case II
tell YOU all you want to know"
At the foot Of the very steep hui
leading from the railroad station the
reporter met a fine looking, well set up
man in top boots, rough trousers a
wooden undershirt and a slouch hat,
who in answer to an inquiry, said he
was Ben Case. He knew all about the
man the reporter was seeking, and gave
the information freely. As there was
no way of leaving the village until the
next train, five hours later, the reporter
determined to visit the other persons to
whom he had been directed. He
thanked Mr. Case and walked to the
sawmill and asked to see the boss. The
workman directed him to the general
store near by. There he met Mr.. Case
again. In answer to an inquiry for the
saw1nill's owner, or for the general
storekeeper. Mr.. Case replied, ''They re
me-.
As it was unlikely that he could give
more information as general store
keeper and mill owner than he had al
ready given as plain Mr.. Case, the re-
porter asked to be directed to the
supervisor, and again received the re
ply, That's me-"
You seem to be nearly everybody
here. Mr.. Case. Where shall | find the
postlnasterl He may know more than
you've told me-"
"Waal, l don't think SO, but you
can ask him if you like. I'm the post
master"
Unwilling to ask any more questions,
the reporter started for the white house
to the right of the road. There two
young women, busily engaged in do
mestic duties, said their father had
gone to the store, but would return in
few moments Would the visitor
waltz The reporter waited, and in
about an hour the ubiquitous Mr.. Case
arrived
Come, girls" he said, Il am ready
for dinner. Lay a plate for the
stranger He wants to see me bad. y

why lie Called His Parrot "sIoney." ."


There was man at the Lake Erie
depot, and he had parrot of which
he seemed very proud, and with good
reason, for it was an accomplished lin
guist There was also an observer
there, one of those persons who call
themselves philosophers and students
of human nature. Quoth he to his
companion;
There is curious fact in relation to
parrots. Nearly all are possessed OF
the same name. Now, I'll bet you a

that birds name is Polly"
He accosted the parrot man with,
II say, my friend, what DO you call

Money, was the reply.
What do you call it that fort"
"Cause money talks. See"
