THE HONDER OF GRErs7ONE
A Black Bass That VIII DO Tricks and
Has sense or Humor.


Has n sense OF Humor.
It is about two years ago that John Forson,
the head gardener at Greystono. the summer
panied by some friends. went over to the
Grassy Sprain for days fishing. The
Grassy Sprain is about n mile from Grey
Yonkers and its suburbs with water. 1t was a
hot day. Tho sun shone straight down from
tho sky and seemed to scorch everything.
You had better take pail along, john"
said q companion. III you want to get your
fish homo in good shape. The only way to
carry them In this sun Is in a pail OF water.
They'll be half baked before you can get them
home II you let the sun get at them"
Mr.. Forson thought that q good idea, so
when the party started one carried a two
quart Tin pail for the fish that they expected
to catch. Mr.. Forson has never censed con-
graduating himself upon that precaution. II
it had not been for that pail the Wonder OF
Greystone would have died before no had a
chance to exhibit the talents which have made
him famous.
The fishing was not good that day Perhaps
the suns fierce rays penetrated into the lin
pid waters and caused the fish to feel the same
languor that makes mankind loath to stir
on very hot days. Perhaps the fishermen felt
the heat 80 much that they did not angle with
their usual skill. However that may be. when
the men lay down under the trees and ate their
noon luncheon. not II single bite had rewarded
their repeated casting under the burning sun.
Continued efforts in the afternoon met with no
better success. and they were about to unjoint
their poles and go home. when Mr.. Forson's

THE FAKIR OF INDIA.

He II Regarded rs Unpleasant Person
by the Europeans Who Meet Him.
The Indian newspapers are complaining OF
fakirs who. they say. are getting to be par
ticularly Objectionable as railroad passengers.
These holy mon are usually very dirty, as
they cannot spare time from their religious
devotions and incessant begging to attend to
their toilet. The fakir is addicted to the prac-
tice OF rolling himself In filth and smearinr
himself with disgusting substances in order
to propitiate tho deity he serves. 1t is hard
to decide what to do with these Questionable
persons when they apply for tickets on the
cars. The ticket agents fear that II they re-
fuse to let the iakirs ride. 1t might raise re-
ligious disturbance.
1t is estimated that 5000 900 OF these men.
dicant priests are in the Indian peninsula
Most Of them are regarded by the European
population as nero humbugs. who are too lazy
to work for living. 1t is believed. however.
that many fakirs become what they are out Of
cheer religious devotion: for 1t is hard to sup
pose that any human being through mere
love Of imposture would consent to keep his
fists closed until his nails grew through tho
back of his hand. or would hold both arms
above his head until the limbs became with.
cred. The general feeling. however. seems to
KRIS in India are rogues Of the worst des Sc
ton. who use their supposed sanctity to make
money out OF their uuDeS.
A fakir who applied at railroad ticket office
two weeks ago Illustrates the peculiar prob
lens with which Indian railway officials have
to deal. He had contracted the erroneous no.
ton that In order to show his snnctity it was
necessary for him l., to wear on his person a
yict ever staggered under. Chains and iron
bands were loaded on his person until he
could hardly walk. When he asked for rail-
road ticket the agent did not, feel disposed to
allow all that weight Of hardware to be car
rtod on the price OF the passenger fare: He
n fn in
He therefore informed the iron bound thoo-
logian that II no wished to travel by that line
he must put his iron chains in box or other
receptacle and forward them, at the ordinary
freight rates. In other words he would not
be, permitted to travel unless he stripped him
sell OF his Rrmor.
The fnkir is usually most voluhlo person.
and that particular specimen was nothing
loSth to argue tho matter. He talked for mora
than an hour, hut could not change or, soften
the heart Of tho station agent and at last he
betook himself away In sadness and with Ill
his iron drapcry wrapped about him. Tho
railroads have also had considerable trouble
with the fakirs because they have declined to
transport their devotional Instruments free of
charge. Altogether the fnkir is regarded as q
troublesome and unpleasant parsonage by all
Europeans VINO como In contact with him.
