Fish Get the Wrong Rait.

A fisherman who went down into
Lake Keuka in ships of the skiff varie-
ty in order to fish, trailing jug Of
bait behind the boat, to keep cool, was
twice annoyed by having his jug bro
ken, which of course put an end to the
fishing for the day. On the second oc-
casion when this occurred the fisher
man soon after saw large fish swim
ming about near the surface, in lazy
and irresolute sort of way. He rowed
up to the fish, and, to his surprise,
was able to pick it up in his
hands. The fish was perfectly
sound, but had rather more color than
usual, and his breath smelled strong
ly of alcohol. This gave him an idea.
Next day he trailed behind his boat
jug a wherein the lure was cunningly
commingled with opium. Hid in the
stern of the boat while another rowed,
he skept sharp watch. Presently he
saw a number of monstrous fish APP
proach, bearing on their noses a stone
they had evidently rooted out of the
lake bottom. One sharp crack from
this broke the jug, when the thieves
eagerly drank up the liquid as it
mingled with the surrounding water
Shortly after a number Of the finest
fish ever seen on the lake floated to the
top in their opium dream of bliss, and
were captured. Y. Recor der.

clip the end of your cigar; don't bite it

there is tobacco dust enough in the
average cigar to rot the lungs of an

AT one of Sir Henry Parkes' meet

he Was BoastfuI. But Failed to Make
Good His Threat.
A pinch of humanity raised fragile
hand in Fourth avenue a1d q conduc.
tor rang for the stopping Of a Madison
and Fourth avenue car. A four-foot
man, with a package on which sus-
picious eyes would be cast in prohi-
bition town, made frantic clutches at
the grab-rail of the car, and finally fell
with his bundle across the feet Of the
conductor.
why didn't you stop?" he painted, as
he flashed indignant eyes at the bell
ringer. You're too fresh. and I'll
fight you when we get down to Broome
street" The conductor said: "Boshi
Go sit down." He weighed two hum
dred and nine and half pounds. The
pinch of humanity would not harm
the largest scales an apothecary ever
had.
''Sit down! ! won't!" screamed the
little fellow. II know my rights, and
I'll fight you when we get to quiet
place."
The pinch went into the car and sat
down between two women who, be-
fore his advent, had been talking to
each other. He couldn't keep still. and
every few seconds would square him
self into fighting attitude and squeal
at the conductor: You're fresh! I'll
fight you in few minutes"
This went on until the car was near
ing Broome street.-the chosen BATTLE
ground of the pinch. The little fellow

himself into a seat beside man who
was talking to a woman.
Say" he said huskily, "do you
want to see fight? Watch me! Pm
going to do it now. Will you be
witness? Give me your name, won't
you? l want you to tell about it in
court tomorrow"
"Get out!" said the man to whom
these remarks were addressed II
have troubles of my own. Get away
from me! Don't bother mev
WELL" said the pinch, there goes,
anyway. Watch me. Hold my bundle.
No, 1 guess I'll take it with me. One
hans enough.
The pinch ran to the rear platform
and putting his hands in fighting
position, said:
"Mr. Conductor, you're too fresh.
I'm going to lick you. Look out now!'
"His right arm had swung as much
rs two inches. The car was just roll
ing into Broome street. The conduc-
tor caught him by the collar, lifted
him three feet in the air, and dropped
him on the pavement. The pinch's
bundle fell, and he stood, the most
dazed man in the Bowery, looking at
the disappearing car.
THAT'S all right" he screamed.
shaking one fist, while he reached for
his package with the other. You're
too fresh! I'll lick you next time
meet you!"-N. Y. Times

men advancing across field OF
battle just before the charge;
the grigs chirping in the blighted grass,
making a drowsy interlude to the
moaning winds; below, beneath o
chestnut tree, a half wild, bony hog
munching mast; far off, the sounding
of an AK as mountaineer prepared his
winter fuel, or the sonorous twinkling
of cowbells. Absolutely nothing else
disturbed the solitude; and then fecks
of sunshine-feeble and red-breaking
with an effort through the rifted
clouds and falling on a sandstone slab,
fair, warm and cheerful, like the smile
of God.
On such an evening I was travelling
in the section Of Georgia through
which Sand mountain runs, worn out
with the days hard work, for was a
journeyman printer out of job and
tramping through the country. Paus-

my arm thereon to enable me to rest
in standing position, my attention
was attracted to tomb inside the field,

corn which waved in the wind, it's
