Shrewd fishermen do not always
know what kind of pole is best. This
thought is suggested by the remark
of the late Peleg Washburn, the man
who gave soldiers monuments to
Abbot and Foxoroft. A Dexter bank
official approached Washburn, who
was we'll known to be a man of
means, with suggestion that 1t
would be good thing for him to
put some of his money into western
mortgages, which bore a high rate
of interest. The old man scratched
his pate for a moment and then
blurted out, II don't like to fish
with such long pole The force
of the metaphor and of the incident
is heightened when it is remembered
that Washburn was one of the easy
victims of Judge Hale of Foxcroft
and loaned him $4,000 on his
"town" notes. Perhaps in that case
the fish pole was too short for safe

Tho Campaign Of Friedland,

The campaign of Friedland shows
either less genius or more than any
other of Napoleon s victories, accord
ing to the standpoint from which it
is judged. If he is to be regarded
throughout Its duration merely as a
general, then his conduct shows
comparatively little ability. He
came on his enemy where he did not
expect a battle, although he had am
pie time to evolve and execute an ad-
mirable plan, and his loss was tri-
fling compared with that of his op-
ponents yet, nevertheless, Friedland
was a commonplace, incomplete af-
fair. 1t compelled the foe to aban-
don Heilsberg, but it did not annihi-
late him or necessarily end the war.

A GREAT MANS SILENCE.

he Preserved His Quiet Dignity Under
Most Trying Circumstances.
A great man, whose wife was de-
voted to him, but was subject to in.
sane attacks of jealousy and resent
1nent, was once visited at his coun-
try house by two old time friends.
He welcomed them with marked cor
diality, and, seating himself between
them on the piazza, was soon deep
in confidential conversation. While
he was listening to what they had to
say and occasionally replying to an
argument which seemed to him more
plausible than logical the door be-
hind him was suddenly opened, and
from it emerged his wife, with an
angry face and pail of water.
Without a word she deliberately
upset the pail and drenohed him
from head to foot. The two friends
sprang to their feet in astonishment
and caught sight Of the resentful
woman retreating into the house
with triumphant air.
The man who had been subjected
to this shower bath arose without
word, went into the house and in ten
minutes returned to the piazza, hav-
ing made complete change of dress.
His friends were still in the yard
and we're wishing that they could be
transported by balloon or magic car
pet to their own homes, where they
would not be witnesses of strange
and embarrassing domestic scenes.
Their host called to them, and
placed the chairs on the piazza.
When they were all seated, he re-
sumed the conversation with the
simple remark, "As I was saying,
my friends,' and then went on with
the discussion, picking up the thread
where it had been dropped and max
ing no reference to what had hap
pened.
He was quiet and dignified and did
not betray in his manner a trace of
the modification and annoyance
which his wife's exasperating attack
must have caused.
A weaker man would either have
appealed to his friends for sympathy
or striven to apologize for the strange
and irrational conduct of the wom-
an. He had neither accusations to
make nor excuses to offer. He strove
to put his friends at case by divert
ing their attention from the painful
exhibition of his wife's infirmity by
engaging them in animated CONVEX
sation.
So successful was he that the three
we're soon laughing, chatting and
arguing together as though nothing
unpleasant had happened.
When the time came for the two
visitors to drive to the station to
take train, their host said goodby
to them at the gate with the remark
that they had had a delightful after
noon together.
The great man loved his wife, and
knew that she was not responsible
at all times for her oaprices and re-
sentiments. Unwilling to talk about
her infrmities, even with old and
trusted friends, he acted with rare
self possession and good taste in
maintaining rigid silence, and leav-
ing them to infer for themselves the
reasons for his eserve.-Youth's
Companion.
