THE BIG TROUT LOST.
A Remarkable Fish Story Told by a Green
Mountain Boy.

At 10 years of age, says writer in
Forest and Stream, was "bound out"
to farmer away up in the Green
mountains of Vermont, far away from
large settlements, where the woods
and waters were well stocked with
game and fish.
From my earliest recollection | had
been eager for hunting and fishing,
but at my new home no time was al
lowed for such indulgence, except it
was gained on a stint. In fact, both
master and mistress were constantly
scolding me for my penchant, always
asserting that such pursuits were a
mark of a ne'er-dowell. Just the
same, however, they would eat the
game and fish.
One day, before 1 was out of my
teens, had finished a hard stint at
o'clock, and was soon on stream
that ran through the farm, and while
the sun was yet well above the horizon
was back to my starting place with all
the trout [ wanted to lug, and no fin
gerlings, for the stream was literally
swarming with well-grown fish. l
rarely went that did not get one or
more of two pounds and upwards. On
| this occasion [ had two stch on my
string. Just above where 1 was to
leave the stream was fine hole at a
| bic bowlder which iutted out from
solitary trout so I went to try for an
other. Sure enough, as 1 peered over
there was one, the largest l had ever
seen. The largest on my string were
babies to it,
D,,+ l.; I, l.
let it down from the quick water
above, wide of him at first, but as he
did not notice it | at last let it down
plump to his mouth, when he lazily
took it. Then with all my strength
l gave him the grand "yank," and
away up and backward he went free
from the hook; the last glimpse l had
of him he was still going out over a
field of grain and was tumbling back
ward off the rock. remember how l
chanted with exultation as l got up
and started for my big trout; but for
all my seeking he was not to be found,
and when this was realized I cried as
if my heart would break. Then | COM
forted myself with the thought that
perhaps my master would come with
me in the morning and help search,
it was such a fine big one. But not
so; he jeered me for telling fish lie,
and when 1 cried at his refusal he
threatened me with strapplng. That
night, and for many thereafter, 1 cried
myself to sleep over my loss and even
now, after the lapse of more than half
a century, 1 keenly regret it.
The time came in three or four
weeks to cut the grain where my prize
was lost; and there, where a large
clump of grain stood, many inches
taller than the rest, still dark green
and growing, lay the skeleton of my
big trout almost intact. l reviewed ii
with mingled feeling of pride and sor-
row, and burst into tears. My master
gazed spellbound and speechless. His
face was study as he realized it's enor-
nous size; thus l construed it. Al
length l ventured, timidly, to be sure,
to ask him if he then thought had told
him fish lie, when he found breath
and snorted out: Huh! l should
think any blank fool could have found
him."

Purely PlatOniC.

Yes, there was no doubt of it in her
mind. Had they not always been
friends in the truest acceptation OF that
term?
Friends for time and eternity" was
the oath renewed between them only
that afternoon. And now he was GO
ing away!
"The beauty of platonio friendship
shows strongly where absence and dist
ance obtrude themselves. Nothing
affects the course of that .soul-union,
that mutual understanding, that SYM
pathetic bond of fellowship. Mere
separation-it but strengthens the tie"
So she argued. So she believed.
The shadows heightened. The tall
clock ticking vindictively in the corner
of the darkening room suggested un-
pleasant thoughts. "Time," it said,
"is slipping away, slipping away, slip
ping away. We are hurrying on,
hurrying on, hurrying on. Change,
change, change, and ever and again,
change"
mo, it cannot be so with our friend
Ship" she murmured. The usual ones
terminate in love. "Love for me?"
and she instinctively glanced in the
mirror, which pictured a face where
care and sorrow had penciled heavy
lines and already had touched the wavy
chestnut hair with silver.
She turned away, her glance resting
now on the autumn view without.
"The seasons growing old-like me"
she sighed. "But in our friendship
change would be impossible. Oh, God,
leave me that one thing. only that. He
| is so true 80 noble of finer metal than
all others. To live without him near
me is nothing; to live without his
friendship, rything.
"Can it be tear?" she questioned,
as something unmistakably like one
ran over the bridge of her nose and
down her cheek. "Now, this will
never do" as another and another, like
a flock of foolish sheep, followed the
leader. "Of course it is but natural l
should feel-his going away. All part
ings are bitter, and he never left me
before. Perhaps"
She broke off abruptly and started
from her seat as the gravel on the walk
crunched beneath his heavy tread.
How it all happened she could not
tell, but, platonic theories flung to the
winds, she was sobbing outright in his
arms.

1t Breeds Contempt.

Imagine man of strong character
and sterling worth being constantly
subjected to the cheapening process of
being called by every man and boy in
town Billy"
1t is all very well within a circle of
relatives, but the promiscuous carry
ing on of the practice outside of the
family is intolerable. After week at
the mountains or seashore a party of
young people who have never heard of
each other before will call each other
by their first names with a reckless
disregard for the proprieties, which to
well educated and cultivated person
is little short of absolute rudeness.
Particularly does this apply when an
ordinary acquaintance insists upon
calling young married woman
MARY" or Bertha" For a young
man to do this at once stamps him as
ignorant of good form and guilty of an
objectionable liberty.
Every one who has reached his or
her majority is entitled to a courteous
form of address. The individual who
forgets this is is presuming upon the
intimaoies of childhood, and still con-
tinuing to address them as boy and
girl is practically an avowed foe to
good manners Angezes Herald.

Shaming a King.

A poet stood waiting every day for
Augustus on the threshold of his pal
ace and recited to him lines of poetry.
He hoped for some remuneration, but
the reward never came.
One day, says Motto per Ridere, the
emperor, wishing to divert himself at
the poets expense and enjoy his en-
barrassment, meeting him on the ac-
customed spot, recited to him some
verses of his own composing.
The poet listened with the greatest
composure to Augustus right on to the
end. Then taking few coins from
his pocket he gave them to him, say
ing:
"The gift offer you is not adequate
to your merit, but l am poor man
and cannot give you any more"
Augustus, surprised at the smart
and cutting reply, ordered the sum of
hundred thousand sesterces to be
given to the poet.

WILCOX NOT A CANDIDATE.
A Statement From the RepresentatIu'
 of the Second District.

X Statement From the Representative
 of the Second District.
 The Washington correspondent of the New Haven Register writes:
 Mir Wilcox will not be a candidate. This positive statement is again made upon the authority of the representa- tive in congress from the Second dis trict. Some misunderstanding of MT Willcox's position in this matter has arisen owing to the publishing of con- hicting dispatches in home newspapers. But while Mir Wilcox will in no sense be candidate for a third term in con- gress it may be stated authoritatively that under certain conditions he could be induced to run. Should the nomi- nation come to him unsought Mir Will cox, there is little doubt, would accept, and there is no doubt whatever but that he would be willing to make the con- test for election should it become appar- ent later on that the democrats of New Haven were divided between two or more candidates.
 Should it appear before or during the nominating convention that all parties could unite upon MT Wilcox and bring about until action and a solid vote, the present member would be willing to run. This is the position now taken by Mir Wilcox. He will not seek the | nomination ill any way but would take it, like any good democrat would should his candidacy be necessary tc party harmony.
 While orators are needful, conscien tious and perslstant workers are much more useful. If MT Willcox has done little in the way of speech making since he went to Washington, he has more than made up for it by hard work in tht departments and about the capitol. II looking over the record made by NJ Wilcox in the last congress it is bu just to remember that he labored as dIC every democrat, under the great disad vantage of Tom Reeds arbitrary rule Even democrats of experience who haC earned national regulations, found i well nigh impossible to secure any sub stantial benefits to their constituents All the committees had republican chairmen and republican majoritles and all that was obtained went by kiss ing.
 Under such circumstances it is not t. be wondered at that MT Wilcox in hi first term found it impossible to accom- plish anything beyond the usua amount in the way of river and harbo appropriations and in extending tn postal facilities. This session the stu ation is reversed and Mir Wilcox Ina many things to favor him. He has bee made chairman of the committee on tn eleventh census, regarded ordinarily a of minor importance, but which nov promises to attract more attention tha any other in congress, save perhaps tn Icommittee on invalid persons.
