Unwelcome Children.

Large families, it has often been remarked
are uncommon in France. Possibly the fact
that there seems a very great prejudice a.
gainst them may help in some degree to ex-
plain the fact: A father Of family of four
children and highly respected man. n. La
croix, finds it absolutely impossible to obtain
apartments near his place Of business at St.
Mande, near Paris. At several places he was
received by concierges with civilty until he
ventured to say he had rather large family,
when the door was promptly shut upon him.
Going little farther out Of town to Vincea-
nes, he managed as he thought, to secure q
place and actually paid the "del T q Dieu,"
or blackmail levied by concierses Of new ten
ants. @@---47sz---
On presenting himself, however, with bis
four children he was politely but firmly told
that the bargain must be declared off. Fox-
tunately NJ. Laaroix is 4 man of resource.
The forest Of Vincennes is close at hand, and
there he has erected huge tent, divided into
separate apartments by means of curtains.
For the present be declares his new abode is
delightful one, for the weather in Paris is
particularly fine. Meanwhile he is taking le
gal proceedings against the owner of the house
in which he took the lodgings.

And Fred, in a whisper he stood at my side
Said IL never beheld more beautiful bride!

The King Pike of the Conemaugh.

The Conemaugh valley is in state of
great excitement over an immense pike
that haunts a certain pool of the his
toric little stream. Widest stories of
its size have spread over the entire val
ley, and all the old fisherman have tried
to land the big fellow, but he has snap
ped their lines like so many threads,
and although pounds of ammunition
have been wasted on him he sails about
serenely as ever, apparently unmlndful
of the bullets that have rained about
him like hailstones. The pool that Is
owned exclusively by his plkeship is at
Pack Saddel, about SO miles out on the
Pennsylvania line and about one mile
east of the Blairsville intersection.
w. p. France, the veteran fisherman
of the Conemaugh, who has been in the
employ of the Pennsylvania railroad
for 80 years and is now their yardmast-
er at Bolivar, says that the fish is fully
8 feet in length and will probably
weigh $50 pounds. He saw him for
the first time four years ago, and then
he broke number Of heavy lines in
trying to land him.
"Tobbie," as the genial yardmaster
is generally called, is responsible for
the story that number Of light field
pieces were used on the giant pike, and
scales as big as car wheels were knock
ed off, but from this the fish did not
seem to suffer any serious inconveni-
ence.
The pool in which he stays is about
800 yards long and abont Is yards wide,
and at no point is 1t less than 20 feet IN
depth. Anumber Of persons have shot
at the pike with iron slugs fully 3
inches lnng but these did not appear to
take eff ct -ritt,burg Dispatch.
