EDITOR OF THE CANTON TIMES.

We read in Esops fa bles of a man who
had goose that laid a golden egg
every day but was not satisfied
with that and killed the goose and got
one egg thus destroying the business.
The application / wish to make is that
some parties, are throwing dynamite
in Pearl river and the lakes SO we hear
and destroying all the fishes in reach
both big and little. The writer is
fond offishing and feels an interest in
not having the fish destroyed in this
wholesale manner. We do not agree
with the great DR. johnson who said
a fisherman represented fool at
one end of the pole and a fly at the
other, fishing is an honorable busi-
ness If conducted according to law,
Peter went fishing and we feel that he
was violating no law legal or divine
as the Saviour did not condemn it. But
it is life to some modern law breaker
to act the fool by wantonlv destroying
the fish by the whole sale.
The Jewish law forbid the eating
of any but scaled fish but we heard a
Jew friend say he would not obi ect to
a two 10 Channel ca. and we agree
with him, but If this wholesale de-
structioD is to be continued We can't
get even a cat. To make the matter
short IL know of any one using dyni-
mate in future will prosecute them
friend or foe, and it may te some of our
town friends will be called on to testify
before the next grand jury and how
will they feel. The writer of this means
what he says and my name is

The Banquet Tonight, Then Off For

Every train yesterday brought in
newspaper men with their wives,
daughters and sweethearts. Up to
last night fully 150 had arrived and
more will be here to-day. AS fast as
the delegations arrived they were
taken in charge by the reception
committees, escorted to their hotels
and given the freedom of the city.
The exercises during the day were
informal, as the regular program be-
gan with the reception and ball at
night and the business meeting will
not be held until this morning
at 8 o'clock. There was no way to
secure correct list of those arriving
on the late trains, but the list here
given will be found as nearly accu-
rate as it is possible to make it in adj
vance of the official enrolment. Those
named arrived yesterday or are ex-
pected on to-day's trains.

A DEADHEAO.
An Eastern Dog That Likes to Keep
A-Traveling.

An Eastern Dog That Likes to Kecp
A-Traveling.
Bangor, Me-, has dog worth know
ing. One day he found himself alone
In the world; but, having sociable
disposition, he set out to look for
friends. Perhaps he stole ride into
town on train, like regular tramp.
Who knows? At any rate, he sudden
ly appeared In the Union station. As
he did not pretend to know what to do,
he followed somebody to the street
cars. There did not seem to be seat
for him, so he got on with the driver,
who spoke kindly to him.
"Hello, Cascov" he said.
Now this was not the dogs name,
but he was too polite to growl and
Just smiled, with his honest eyes, into
the mans face.
The car stopped often, but the dog
did not get off. At last 1t ran into the
railway stables and its four-footed
passenger with 1t. He was glad to
take bits Of food that the men offered
him from their dinner-pails, for he was
very hungry. His pleasant manners
made him welcome. They all talked
or whistled to him. Then he wagged
his plumy tail, that looked like great
frond of pampas-grass. Dogs-some
dogs-love human society better than
the company Of their own kind.
When his friends car went out again,
Casco went, too. By that time he was
quite ready to oanswer to his new name.
After awhile he came to ride from
morning till r.sht, every day. Start
ing with his friend, he would watch
till he saw somebody he knew on re-
turning car, when he would jump OF
and go with him. When he reached o
certain place, best known to himself,
he would change again.
So Casco's whole time is spent. He
has probably travelled thousand miles
without paying q cent Of farce

PRETTY PET DUCK.
Molly II Fond of Squatting Down on Her
Mistress' Lap.

Molly II Fond Of squatting Down on Her
MistrcsI Lap.
One gentleman tells me that he kept
for some time tame gamecock. 1t
would roost on his knee as he sat in his
easy chair after dinner, and follow him
about the garden like dog. And it had
its likes and dislikes about visitors.
One day O woman tramp came begging,
and to her horror something jumped
suddenly upon her hat, and tried to tear
1t off, tapping her screaming face with
It's wings. This was the gamecoclS's
idea Of getting rid of tramp.
Another gentleman has told me of
tame duck which not only hated the
water, but which was eventually
drowned on being put into pond to
cleanse II.
Only yesterday was introduced, by
the kindness Of some ladies at Tufnel
park, to delightful duck pet, Molly
by name. She is beautiful full-grown
white duck, who has grown up from
ducklinghood under the loving care of
her mistresses. She was swimming
about happily In big metal tub, and
when she saw one Of her friends
come into the garden with me, she
bowed and waggled her tail and gag
gled with delight. When she was lifted
out, she waddled along very upright,
following her mistress wherever she
went.
Molly sleeps at night In box in the
house, and if the members Of the house
hold come home late, she quacks until
they go down and wish her good night.
She seemed to have an idea yesterday
that a newspaper man had come to
make copy out Of her, for after
luncheon she came quaclking to the gar
den door, and 1t was pretty sight to
see her squatting down on her mistress
lap, and allowing one to stroke her neck
as II she had been a cat.
Coming back to jackdaws, l have
heard from lady who has kept one Of
these "bird monkeys" as she aptly
calls them. She says, II have had a
jackdaw for four years, she was not q
young bird when she came, but her love
for fun and mischief has in no way
diminished. One thing worthy OF no

Certainly one Of the great charms of

quickly they accommodate themselves
