HOW SHE FRIED THEM.
Ivory's Mother Always Cooked His Suckers
the One Way.

the Ono Way.
Ivory Brown was about sixtoon years
of age, tho oldest of several children,
and, as his father was what is common
ly called ''shiftloss," Ivory had to do o
pretty good part of supporting tho fam
lily About mile from home little
brook cmptiod into tho pond and up tho
brook in the spring multitudes of tho
fish called suckers came for tho purpose
of spawning. Thither at night locked
all tho boys of tho vicinity to spear
suckers by torchlight
The timo of suckers was season Of
foasting for Ivory, and every evening no
was to be found at the brook welding
his spear with great skill, while one Of
his brothers gathered the flsh Into a
basket.
AS Ivory was so constant fisherman.
somo OF the boys suspected that his fam
lily must pretty noarly live on suckers
alone, and one night S2m Wilson jok-
ingiy asked tho lad how he liked them.
Ivory declared thom very good, but
admitted that he was getting a trino
tired of them as steady dict
besides" he added, "marm allors
cooks 'em jest the same old way"
Being asked what 1.-The same old way
was. he replied: 20, she alters biles
'om.'
Theroupon somo of tho boys explained
that suckers were usually cooked by
frying, and advised Ivory to get his
mother to try that method.
Ivory declared that he would have
some fried from the very next mess he
took homo, and was delighted at the
prospect OF n change In his fshy faro.
Tho next evening, therefore, the boys
gathered about Ivory to loarn the result
of his experiment.
AT first no seemed unwilling to toll.
but when urged little he exclaimed in
tono of disgust: ~ don't see that fried
suckers taste much different from what
billed suckers docs"
A shout won't up from tho boys, and
one of Thorn asked: How'd yer mother
fry 'em?'

NIITHELL HAS RESIGNED.
The Commissioner of Patents Will Return
His Folio June 30.

WASHINGTON, May -ISpeciall-
There is an apparently weli-foundcd
rumor in circulation here to-day that
Charles f.. Mitchell, commissioner of
patents, has rendered his resignation to
the President, to take effect at an early
date, presumably at the end of the fiscal
year, June 80. Mr.. Mitchell, however,
when appealed to, positively declined
either to confirm the rumoc or deny it..
Nevertheless the Information comes
from source which leaves little or no
doubt of It's accuracy.
There seems to be no question that
Mitchelfs only ground for rcsigning is
that he may resume practice of the
patent law either at his home in New
Britain, Conn, or in some other East
crn city.

One day he came home with a pair

were too precious to be trusted out of
