Duplicating a Lost Carr.

KiEura Cheshire, IN upholsterer of
Asakusa, has perseverance if he has
nothing else. He went to fish with a
fellow-angler, Mitsui Sobei, retired
hosier of the neighborhood. Kimura
was smoking, when Mitsui caught a
large carp twenty inches long, half
blue and half red, of remarkable
beauty. Mitsui brought it proudly to
Kimura, who put out his hand to take
it, but the carp, Directing to the
smoke from his pipe, jumped out of
his hand into the river.
Mitsui was angry, but Kimura told
him there was nothing to get into n
passion for, as he would give him in
return carp of the same size and
beauty. They parted, and Kimura,
when he got home, took down his
waterproof, with which and some rice
and money he left home again. Five
days passed, but he did not return.
Ten days, and still no Kimura.
Kimura came back after a three
weeks absence with fine carp in his
hand. 1t appears he had been fishing
all this time not only ON the Sumida-
gawa' but on the neighboring rivers
Nakagawa and Tone. He had caught
tons of carp, but had thrown them
naod, as none of them were like Nit
suns, that he had lost, and it was only
after three weeks fishing that he
caught an exactly similar fish. He
went at once to NIitsui and gave it to
