Mr.. Angler-"It sometimes occurs that in

very unsportsmanlike recourse"
Mr.. Listener-"Yes? What was that?"
Mr.. Angler-'I was fishing one day In the
Sprain brook and discovered in an old pool
trout that must have weighed seven
pounds. / tempted him first with all the
artificial bait at my command, from gray
hackle to fianingo flies. shook a button of

strawberry on a hook and a forelock OF my
red hair. fiirted all the known brands OF
worms in front OF his suggestive mouth and
wasted all my lunch on him In the way of
decoy, and when i was just about to give it
up in despair thought struck me.
Acting upon II, l went to a neighboring

THE wolLD-BE SUICIDE.
He Got Mad when lie Found 81 Man
Offering Him Facilities for Dying.

From the Chicago Post.
A good story is told on ex-Alderman Ar
thur Dixon. although he denies It, still. the
denial is such a half-hearted one that Il il
likely there is a good dea! of truth in it.
Dixon had the acquaintance Of one OF
those men who have periodical fits OF des-
pondency. during which they claim that life
is not worth living. but who always stop
just short OF making a personal inyestiga-
ton of what comes after IL. This young
man invariably sought out Mr.. Dixon when
he became respondent, told him all his
woes. and generally ended by announcing
that he was going 10 commit suicide. In
the kindness OF his heart. and possibly be-
cause he thought il would be annoying to
have to testify at an inquest Mr.. Dixon
would cheer him up and persuade him &c
hang on a while longer.
In time. however. this program became
monotonous from constant repetition. and
MIR. Dixon undertook 10 put stop to II
The next time the young man announced
that he was going 10 commit suicide Dixon
raised no objections.
Possibly you are right" he said. Il
guess IL is the best thing you can do. How
do you intend 10 do it,
"oh. / might as well jump in the river
returned the despondeut man.
1t was winter and the river was covered
with ice. but Mr.. Dixon was ready with .
suggestion.
II know a place down on the South
branch where there are some big holes in
the ice" he said, pleasantly. IN get my
buggy and well drive down there"
The fellow wasn't as enthusiastic now,
but he Raised no digestion. and Mr.. Dixon
got his buggy. He was cheerful and Jolly
during the drive, but the woali-be suicide
was inclined 10 be thoughtful Down
among lot Of coal yards Mir. Dixon jumped
out.
Here we are" he said rs he pulled an
AK out from under the buggy scat.
What's thai for asked the young man.
"Oh. l was afraid We might not be able
to find hole that Was biz enough and I
didn't want TO take any chances" cNplain-
cd Mr.. Dixon. Then he got out heavy
weight with a cord fastened 10 IL and q
long piece OF rope. and started out on the
ice.
What's that weight for?" asked the de-
spondent man. he followed slowly.
That's to tie your legs 50 that there
can't be any mistake" returned Dixon.
And the roper
ITO tie around your body SO that 1 can
pull you out after it's all over Your friends
would never forgive me II didn't take youI
