Said "Joe" Twichel Allowed Him t

Swear.
 w. E. Curtis says in the Chicago Record: When MT. Clemens was last in New York he stopped at the Players club, down in Grameroy park, and was grumbling, in his droll way, about the efforts of his wife and his physician to protect his health. He had q valet who had graduated from school for training nurses and who was intrusted with the arduous' duty of regulating MT. Clemens diet and protecting him from exposure and fatigue. He called him Harris said he did not know what his other name was--nor where he came from. His presence is odious enough" :" said Mark Twain of this faithful at tendant, without inquiring into his past or planning for his future.
 He is a man my wife hires to keep me from having a good time. He stands around and grins when I am miserable, but the moment I begin to enjoy myself little he steps in and stops it, and my wife pays him so much month. He's d cross between a fla miliar of the Spanish inauisition of the fifteenth century and modern trained nurse. Harris presumes to dictate what I shall eat and what I shall wear, how much l shall smoke, and when shall go to bed at night, and as fast as he finds out what I like he shuts down on 1t. l have not tasted pie for months, and as for chocolate caramels, Harris won't let me look into the win dow of a candy shop, He even dilutes my milk. He isn't satisfied with the buckets of water the milkman pours in from the pump, but he adds lot from bottle of vichy.
 T used to pray for Harris" con- tinued MT. Clemens Il used to pray that the Lord would soften his heart, but I've quit. found he was a hope less case, totally depraved. Now I swear at him. It's all right. Joe Twichell, pastor of the Congregational church up at Hartford, who is my con lessor, says it isn't wicked to swear at Harris, and has given me a special in dulgence. But there is no use swear l ing at Harris unless you are full of ginger. A feeble man, an invalid, could not reach him.

Illegal Fishing Going on in the Housa-
 tonic River.

Illegal Fishing Going on in the Housa-
 tonic River.
 The Derby Transcript charges that illegal fishing is going on in broad day- light in the Housatonic river. A peru sal of the following shows that a par ty of Bridgeporters are among the or lenders. No names are given, pre- sumably because of the difficulty to ascertain the identity of the parties en- gagged in the violations. The article follows:
 Illegal fishing has been going on to such an extent on the Housatonic river that sportsmen are beginning to de- spair of the inactivity of the officers of the law in not apprehending a few of the offenders.
 As soon as they found out that the press had published reports of their seine dragging they went about on an- other tack, hoping thereby to be with in the pale of the law and still carry on their miserable work. Now they have made use of the minnow set, so-called.
 This Is made of stout mosquito net and is heavily leaded at the bottom with just enough cork at the top to keep it perpendicular. This method keeps the top of the net under water out of the way of prying eyes. These nets are made from 100 to 150 feet in length and serve the purpose of a seine quite we'll When they make haul it iS. o1y t,,in cl hut no thelees good sized bass are caught in the net at the same time. As many as thirty bass have been taken out of these nets in haul. All along the west bank of the river can be seen evidences of the net hauling, the weeds in many places being uprooted by the net leads.
 A local fisherman who was near Otter Rock in a rowboat, while fishing, got his hook tangled in one of these nets. He took hold of the. net and, following 1t along, found that 1t stretched clear across the river. It had been left there during the day and early in the eveTl- ing the. owners would probably haul 1t in. For three long hours he watched and waited for these so-called fisher men to appear, but they were too wary and remained in the bushes. Another place that he discovered having one of these large minnow nets was a camp of Bridgeport fellows, who seemed to have wonderful luck catching bass.
 They, too, were more adept at pick ing the bass from the net than catch ing them with hook and line The fish ernen are becoming disgusted with the manner in which the lake is being rapidly depleted of bass. It is one of the finest fishing grounds in the state, and, if nets were not used, would give good fishing to everybody. There is such a feeling against these Illegal l fishers that the next party seen with nets is likely to get into trouble. There has been considerable talk of late to the effect that the next case reported the fishermen will go to the, guilty par ty and haul him about the pond in his own net.
