Fish Charming,

One of the best fish stories told since

going through the corridors of the lead.

Canary, the theatrical manager, and is
being vouched for by. Louis Robbie.
Mr.. Canary spent the winter at St.
Augustine, Fla, and returned to the
city the other day. While in the south
the genial Thomas took daily strous
along the beach to get an appetite for
dinner.
One day he noticed little colored
boy lying upon his stomach along the
bank of the river, with his eyes fixed
upon the water. He watched the little
fellow for fully fifteen minutes, but not
muscle of his body moved. A few
minutes later he saw the boy make a
plunge toward the surface of the water,
and when he appeared again he held
in his hand a good sized trout.
Tom thought that this was such an
unusual thing that he offered the bow
five cents for every trout he caught
that afternoon. Thomas sat on the
beach and watched the operation. The
boy caught the trout so fast that Tom.

compromised with the lad. He de-
clares that his curiosity was pretty ex-
pensive.
1t Is rather common thing to see
trout charming along the banks of the
southern waters. The temperature is
SO mild and the water so clear that one
can walk along the beach and see the
fish jump almost foot above the sur
lace OF the water.-New York Tele-

rare intervals. In this city, however
there are several of the latter who com
mand good prices for their services, and
who find ready employment at al
times. Foreigners who have been
taught English in the schools of their
native land find themselves completely
at sea Oh their arrival here, and many
of them who can afford it employ teach
ers to instruct them in learning the Pc
culiar idio1ns employed by the Ameri-
cans. The localism especially they
find most perplexing to master, and the
teacher must be well up On all the man

to teach him American, and he finds it

worked great discrimination and de-

it longer? For one we will not.
The candidate that is satisfactory to

We want a candidate who by educa-

One day Cummins came back.
Everybody was offering bets that Dan
Morton would shoot him on sight.
Cummins thought SO, too, but he had
come back to try and settle the thing
peaceably if he could, otherwise if it
had TO be. The two met In the natural
course of events, and both started to
reach for their guns. Cummins said
his say, though, before the other got

They surged all over the saloon. No
one interfered for a while.
Then the other Morton, who had not
trusted the newly made reconciliation,
and had kept close by, stepped up to
the two, and putting his pistol to Cum

to pieces
And that ended the feud. The other
Morton was killed shortly afterward in
an ordinary quarrel, and Dan is now
